    made some changes to the 172 last night.

    In my opinion I think the Mk1 Laguna splitter you have fitted suits the front end of your car. I 'might' have the same splitter fitted to mine.......:rasp: Car looks great!

    Coilovers on!

    Will be fitting mine over the next couple of days, yours looks good, I think the rear arch of yours looks spot on looks wise, is it a practicallity issue though (scrubbing etc)?

    Performance French Car Mag is No More

    Probably explains why they wern't at the Pistonheads show this year then...... Shame really as I quite enjoyed it.

    Urgent advice needed, possible Kwik-fit fail.

    Believe it or not, Kwik-fit have not specifically accepted blame but have agreed that as they were the last people to touch them and they may have been the cause of the problem they intend to replace the caliper, are fitting a new set of discs and pads all at their expense. Unlike many chain...

    Urgent advice needed, possible Kwik-fit fail.

    Thats what I thought.......shims have probably worked themselves off. Yeah they are the rears.

    Urgent advice needed, possible Kwik-fit fail.

    Thats what I was worried about. I know I havent messed with it but that wouldnt stand in court..... If I do end up having to sort it myself, obviously a new set of discs and pads are needed, but can the rubber sleeve around the piston be replaced so a new caliper is not required? Serviceable...

    Urgent advice needed, possible Kwik-fit fail.

    Guys, I fitted a new set of front pads on Fri afternoon, very happy with them except for a little binding which I sorted by a good caliper clean/service this afternoon. After having sorted the issue, pulled the car off the drive ready to take her for a test drive to make sure everything was...

    Strut Brace Question, help me!

    The selftapping screw/bolts supplied are more than enough as far as I know, as long as you make sure the holes you drill are just small enough to give a good bite to the screws. Mine is still as tight and very well attached, has been on over a year now. You do not need to remove the struts this...

    How far on a Full Tank?

    Hmmm, I always use Tesco 99 and always get 240 miles to 7/8ths of the tank. I do however work in the middle of the countryside (B road fun) and drive quite hard when the roads are clear, which is most of the time. Trip reads 28/29mpg. On long motorway runs I can get 40/42mpg and just under...

    Cut in a wheel on the bead

    WIN! On topic though, an alloy wheel restorer should be able to repair the damage but will cost a little bit (no idea on price), make sure you point out to the scrappy they have ruined them and should only give them 10-20 quid for the set, or walk away.

    Exhaust mount reinforcing fix - a heavy K-Tec Stealth

    I know they have, just finally getting around to it and documenting it properly for others to find useful. For such an expensive mount compared to most cars they are pretty crap at doing their job lol.

    Exhaust mount reinforcing fix - a heavy K-Tec Stealth

    Bought a new mount for my exhaust as it the last one had finally given up the ghost after 10 months of holding my K-Tec Stealth system up. I have had the car just over 2 years and this is the 3rd I have fitted. After getting fed up with the frequent replacement schedule I decided to do the...

    From this to that......you'll see...

    Considering removing all the bumper ones, keep the white wingmirrors but put some 'elfs' on those. Would make the body work less busy but still add a little uniqueness to the car. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I'm doing what I think will look good. The stickers were more of a 'prototype'...

    From this to that......you'll see...

    :cool: I'll second that motion. Free......free? I paid good english pounds for those stickers. Doesnt make them look less silly though.....I'll agree. See I liked the plates as they were something different, still like them, keeps her unique compared to the masses. Not really.......I...

    From this to that......you'll see...

    As said above.....just not there yet. Cheers fella :cool: True, but I didnt like them as such, I had rose tinted glasses. After all the negative comments I had before I started to 'see' what they meant and I realised it looked a little poo. Also I was getting a lot of hassle/baiting/people...

    From this to that......you'll see...

    After the helpful criticism from my last thread I have seen the light and have started to return my car to a 'normal' look. Thinking about keeping the bonnet sticker but all the others that are left will be coming off in the near future...... A pic of the previous horror: Now she looks like...

    Mini JCW Review

    Nice purchase! I've become a real fan of the JCWs......my best mate works for Pistonheads and after the show last Jan he popped in with one of their loan cars/collegues' one (cant remember which). Took me out for a spin in it.....that optional LSD (not surprised at the £32k) makes a hell of a...

    Mondial Blue 172 Cup

    The problem is Mondial Blue was specific to only a few thousand cars over Europe (think its something like 3000-5000....someone please correct me) and only a couple of thousand in the UK so it would be foolish for a company to mass produce and sell other than special order for more money. The...

    I did notice the phone numbers are both mobiles, but its on there under a trade company........so might be legit. I only spotted it because of the huge sticker! (not secretly on pistonheads hunting for a RB 182, honest, I just love 'em! I can always wish! lol)

    Errrr, thanks for all the, err, positive responses guys......lol....must admit its what I expected.
