Hi Guys,
Please bare with me, I'd really like some advice on where I stand.
About a year ago I took my totally standard 172 Cup for a new exhaust. I shopped around for a while and got a quote of £190 from a local garage for a standard non-genuine cat-back system. At the time I did think it was...
I don't know, poaching one of the 1500 ish Cups left in the UK....
....and making it something special! Awesome.
Very nice toys you've got for it too.
I bet that Quaife made your pockets s**t themselves....
Update....
Last week it had a new battery. It was on the original battery for 74k which isn't bad going!
It also had new exhaust mounts and another new exhaust under warrantee as the welds failed on the backbox (genuine item).
I'm considering running a decat on the standard...
Loving those one's that come in on the trailer.
Is the Trophy, Williams and V6 with the RS plates privately owned and trailored in by the owner/owners?
Very nice.
Take a few hours out of your weekend and get some VHT Silver spraypaint and get a few coats in that bay! Rocker/Engine mounts/maybe even whole block.....will freshen it up and look lovely.

This is excellent and will definately save me a few quid.
I was wondering though....
Is the middle hanger a similar design to the box hanger? Can this be done to the to the middle hanger?
If not is a case of biting the bullet and buying an OEM replacement?
Cheers.
Mine was originally at Gravells in Kidwelly. I bought it off a guy in Gorseinon (sp?).
The Gravells badge is horrible mate, do what I did and hair-dryer it off.
Updates.....
Rear shocks done. Elf sticker finally sourced. New Hazard switch.
Next....
New battery, new ignition leads, Oil change (due in the next 500 miles).
The car is struggling recently to start from cold on the first turn. Something's not right. I reckon it's the fact the original...
....I want one with the red/black plastic terminal covers.
Mine still has the original battery and recently it's been taking 2 turns of the key to start. It's getting worse and worse and my fears were confirmed with I put a multi-meter across it. I could blow harder than what it's putting out...
As if I didn't want one already, but after TG on sunday and a recent payrise I've seriously got the itch for a FF Hero-spec AG 200....
I'm wanting the know the practicalities though, eg, loan or finance? Monthly or one-off?
I've done a bit of homework and don't really fancy that PCP thing...
