I have seen the Cup one on a Monaco Blue 172 (Lee Ms) and it looks awesome ! It is the same colour as my 172 aswell so it just made up my mind that I had to have one and the carbon one looks better IMHO..... and cheaper too !
I am going to get one, defo worth it ! £105 inc. VAT is a lot but...
Just over 12000 since March 2002, I am the 2nd owner. I have done just over 2000 miles in it since I bought it in February this year.

IMHO it would look better if it was colour coded with the dash and not the car colour. Also, I reckon a mount that hangs down over the air vents would be perfect and easy to do.
Mike, you just wanna use your slicks ! LOL ! Dont worry ! If last summer in Wales was anything to go by you are going to need your bermuda shorts NOT your umbrella ! LOL !

Mark, it is at Pembrey yeah. Mike and myself are doing the Motorsport Events trackday there on June 5th which is...
15.5 in my first 172 with around 2500 miles on the clock. Not been down the strip since owning my current 172 but will be doing that in June at York ! I WILL beat my old time ! Guaranteed....... unless it rains ! LOL !
My car was standard when I run that time with nothing taken out.

I am off down the hospital after work, a few hours before her op.
