Ends are completely in tact.
But I think I know what you mean.
It appears that the edges stop it from sitting completely flat. I had thought about grinding them off but don't want to make a bugger of it.
Well that failed.
Took it back off to find that the clips were knackered anyway as you say. But the bottoms of them appear to be bonded into the spoiler whereas the clips which are on my non cup spoiler are removable.
I've had another go, seems slightly better but I've had enough now, don't...
The other thought I've just had is putting the clips into the boot and then dropping the spoiler onto the clips?
They were proofing difficult to clip in the other way.
The screws nip up tight, I didn't want to over do them as like you said it's just a fibreglass thread.
The plug and pipe are definatly out the way and the clips are in tact. Just seems odd how it's sat.
Does it lol?
Maybe I'm just been paranoid.
Need to find somebody local with a cup spoiler and compare.
I almost had a heart attack when the break light didn't work and the last ever one on eBay is up for sale at 200 quid. Luckily the connector to the led strip was corroded so managed to...
Got my cup spoiler back from the paint shop, they did a fantastic job for 50 quid.
But I can't for the life of me get the thing sitting flush.
I've managed to get it the same height both sides but it feels like it should be a cm or so lower on both edges.
But the hight between the spoiler...
They do.
I just bought a resonated centre section for my 172 stealth and asked why there was none of their website. They said stock was gone but they should be coming back.
However, they shipped me a silenced centre section out immediatly from manufacturer which I thought was odd if they had...
I've just googled a clio hornet exhaust. Might aswel use a piece of scaffolding as the silencer looks almost as useful.
I bet it will sound terrible, hence the silly responses.
I agree mate. My mate has just bought a 63k mile monaco but id take my 120k monaco any day of the week.
I'm always skeptical of a low mileage 15 year old car, it screams mileage correction service to me, as if done properly before each MOT nobody will ever know..
I totally agree, I watch plenty of cars on eBay as my mate is into buying and selling. He won't touch anything with 100k plus as it seems to be a magical number which as soon as a car gets to, it is worth next to nothing.
So asking top dollar for a car with such mileage will be difficult to...
I can't see why not.
But I've been running external tyre pressure monitors on my 172 for 2 years and they are brillaint. Best 25 quiid iv3 spent in ages
Hi guys.
I'm on the lookout for a cup spoiler to go on my monaco 172 but I've got a few questions.
1 - is a 172 cup spoiler exactly the same as a 182 cup packed spoiler in terms of wiring etc?
2 - is it just a case of bodging the wiring to get the brake lights to work? I read somewhere that...
I'd get a printout from a hunter allignment system and take it from there.
I've tried many tyre places who use the laser systems and they could never get it right, 1 session on a hunter and all was good
Thought I'd update this thread.
I decided against welding a straight tip on as I didn't want to loose my warranty on the exhaust or cut the bumper.
So i bought a brand new centre section with silencer from ktec to replace my straight through pipe and I must say it now sounds awesome and not...
Do people even nick wheels anymore? I can't remember the last time I saw a car up on bricks.
They just break into your house and take the lot these days I think
Never caused a flat spot in either my 182 or my 172, I just took it off in the end due to the horrific noise on the motorway.
I think flat spots are more an issue decatting a 197 or 200.
Completely agreed.
I goto Santa pod a few times each year and there's always some idiot who's spent a fortune on engine mods expecting a good time and end up with a slightly better time than stock.
Drag racing is a mugs game for a road car.
Sorry I didn't explain that right.
I meant in terms of performance, people say it's supposed to rev up more freely but it feels exactly the same.
Weight saving, maybe beneficial but even so, I bet the condenser, pump and pipework dont weight more than 20kg.
