to be honest bar the bonnet which is being replaced and the wheels which are being refurbished it's actually bloddy clean hardly a mark or stone chip on it!

gave it a quick run over with the clay bar and machine polisher today! Also got a bonnet from ebay to replace the rusty one so will get that fitted over the weekend!

Nothing major today, a set of clean plates turned up from fancyplates.com and the mrs got some some new mats for my birthday (will get fitted pics tomorrow when ive hovered it) :)

Yeah just a tidy up generally mate and use it as my daily on nice days

Its hard to compare as the trophy is on 55k vs the 125k the cup is on and the trophy has better tyres, feels tight as it did brand new where this feels a bit more worn as to be expected. Nothing in it performance wise , this however cost 1/5th of what the trophy cost!

SWR danny, ill just take the engine to them, done that with my red ph2 na just a quick scrub and some strong wheel cleaner! Will give it a machine polish on friday :)

Cheers mate was nice to meet you, cheers for picking us up at the train station! gave it a wash today...

Been looking for another 172/182 for a few weeks as the trophy is mint and ive spent a lot on it recently and don't like the idea of doing track days / road trips with the boys and getting stone chips etc! (sad I know) so this popped up on ebay, I watched the auction and stuck a bid in on the...

twingo RS alloys

I thought this until I knocked up my mrs and now it kinda makes sence lol

That's really smart, if I knew you could get the DCi in that colour id have specced it on mine too!

1.2 16v Dynamique 1.6 16v Dynamique 1.5 DCi 65 Dynamique 1.5 DCi 80 Dynamique 1.5 DCi 100 Dynamique 1.5 DCi mk3 106 GT 1.5 DCi mk4 DCi 90 Dynamique Media Nav 2.0 16v ph1 172 2.0 16v ph2 172 iceberg 2.0 16v ph2 172 Flamer 2.0 16v ph2 182 Trophy 2.0 16v 200 FF

good stuff that, I used the black for my rocker cover on my flamer and my ph1 and after a couple of years still looks as good as day one (my mate owns it now)

bad start but you get the idea, this is my old one

that's lovely, I would probably have kept the panel that the hazard button is on black as it looks a bit much done too, the rest of the interior looks spot on though! cracking mileage on that too!

they are epic engines, 172 injectors and an rs tuning remap, for 135bhp+ fmic and exhaust for 140bhp+ now your approaching the limit of the turbo and things start getting expensive. my twingo running the above was rapid lol

i really rate 1144's on the road, i run them on genuine discs on my trophy and they survived fine on a midnight blast down dukes pass glued to my mates m3. Used them on my flamer on brembo HC discs, braided lines and superblue fluid and they were better

hes asking about holding its value though not making money. I read that as what is he going to be able to own for x amount of years and not loose money on depreciation. That was my interpretation of it anyway that would be the last of my worries tho. I could get every one of the 5000 pounds...

i might take mine to a garage and demand a like for like car until i get them hahaha

i better give them a phone lol!

Did RUK give you any update on your rear dampers?

very nice! Where about in Scotland are you?

priced to sell! sure that's what you pay about that for a pre reg corsa vxr these days, shame they are pants lol

ha mate it was terrifying couldn't see a thing, got bored at 70 tho so stuck my heed oot the windie to get home quicker

that colour on they F1s in that colour is the perfect combo surprised no ones done that before!!

was on a run from Stirling to Manchester the other day and it averaged 74mpg with 4 people and 4 big bags in the car. knocking about town which I mostly do it does about 65mpg, that's just plodding about, if its a week when im rushing about running late and kicking its head in does 58-59mpg

UPDATE: was going to sell it on but every time I come to do it I just cant part with it!! so decided to keep it until the summer anyway! (but probably longer!!) so needed something to amuse me.... as it sits now at standard ride height with its new Twingo suspension!

^ what that man says!! i like arctic blue such an underrated colour. Suppressed surprized you bought it as you were impressed by the handling then stuck adopted springs on it though!!

lol your not alone, i snapped one years ago to by tightening it rather than loosening!!

ive never had fuel pump issues or any fuel system issues so far touch wood. only issues I had was a 170k mile dci 65 whos gearbox shat it, looks like it had never had an oil change. my current one is that good a runner im trying to find somewhere to keep it as im going to look at a few R26's...
