Thats what I used mate and it worked a treat. Get some clear lacquer if you can at the same time

I'm 19, 1 year NCB. 1070 fully comp with elephant. Both parents as named drivers. My excess is £1000 though, it's ok though. Im a careful enough driver. Only 1 year NCB but been passed for 2 and a bit years now

Yeah not too bad. First time in the Cup today. Petrol consumption wasn't as bad as I expected tbh

For a second I thought you said It was your nan's :S :p lol. Kent, Tunbridge Wells. But was on my way to university

Was spotted at the roundabout at a set of lights, heading along canterbury road into ramsgate. About 12:30pm

Regardless, He got it :P and here they are together... awesome 182 & 172 by ChristopherJGower, on Flickr

Proper nice motor!

ASHY172 have you played about with the suspension, looks a lot lower, quite like the look

Cheers

I have to admit, that does look so so so good :p

Hi guys, I'm getting the KTR performance pack 2 in Feb, and I'm not sure whether it will be more cost effective to ask them to replace my engine mounts at the same time. What they will be doing is matching the inlets, so would this be a cost effective way of getting the mounts done at the same...

Been doing a little bit of research into silvervision, not really sure what they are apart from something to do with the lights? maybe the previous owner changed something. not sure

Nice mate, yeah turinis in black on that would look really good. Im thinking of doing anthracite on my wheels, just can't justify it when they don't have a single scratch on them, yet! Also... I don't know if its best to keep it all original with silver!?

Finally got round to taking a few pictures of my new cup. Not the best due to weather at the moment. Here are a couple of the best. feel free to post your own :p 172 Cup by ChristopherJGower, on Flickr 172 Cup by ChristopherJGower, on Flickr 172 cup by ChristopherJGower, on Flickr 172...

Since getting my Cup one of my friends has now decided to purchase a clio sport. Here it is: The Car So... what I'm asking is, From everyones experience does this look a good price. He only wanted to spend £3000. Dealer said price is non negotiable. Not the end of the world but still

Hi guys, got myself a Cup recently and on both sides at the back arches there are lots, and I mean lots, of stone chips. Anyone got an idea on the best way to sort them out? got a feeling this is beyond T-cut and elbow grease :/ sorry the image is a little over exposed.

Im planning on trying to sort this out soon. I want to get uprated engine mounts and at the moment the only way i can think is the complete kit from KTEC. i don't know if thats over kill though. I've checked out prima racing, and I'm looking at powerflex at the moment but for the life of me i...

Has anyone used, or heard anything on these? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/bulbs/simoni-racing-hid-style-headlamp-bulbs-6000k-colour I've just got standard PH2 172 headlights, not xenon.

I want those seats so bad! Looks like a nice car mate.

Haha thanks everyone! Won't feel so bad anymore...

So to make it clear, I don't race. Or drive wrecklessley however sometimes I like to put my foot down. Just got myself a 172 cup and everytime I go for a blast I feel bad. Sounds tragic right? But I do feel it can't be good for the car. Poor thing. I can't help it though, it's just so much fun...

Cheers everyone

Hi guys I wanted to spray my engine cover the same colour as my 172 cup however can't find any spray the same colour. Looked on halfords and they don't have Mondial blue, any advice where I can get some from?

Hi guys, I've started this thread in order to log all my progress with my car, and thought I'd share it on here, and hopefully gain some advice and tips on the way. I've not got any main plans, just want to get her looking amazing :D So I got the car Friday and today after work managed to get...

Cheers for the advice mate, I'm going to keep it as it is until we year when I get the funds to get it all sorted, literally to money right now! I'm guessing its not good for the exhaust knocking noise to keep on occurring? Or happening? Don't want to cause damage. If so I'll just be a little...

Haha no no I didn't, would be a bit reluctant to part with my money for that!

It's funny you should say that mate, I took it up the garage today due to the exhaust knocking and it was exactly that problem, they put a pin on the end as it kept coming out of the square mount, as well as a cable to stop it from dropping.

Hi guys wondering if you can help. Just picked up my 172 Cup today and love it :D however when I really go for it, I get a knocking noise from the rear of the car, or a loud bang as soon as I get 6,000 Rpm +. I've been looking and I think it's worn engine mounts. Anyone got any other ideas? Or...

Only young drivers quoted me £1553 fully comp for a 172 Cup. 1 Year NCB driving for 2 years. 19. They ask a seriies of questions over the phone, e.g. How would you react to receiving a text whilst driving, and base your quote on your answers. I'd recommend them as everyone else was quoting me...

cheers mate, I know what you mean. I'd been looking for months and holding out until the right one came up.
