    Pic request- painted badges

    yeah got some stickers made up. As for coats depends on the paint and how thick the coats go on. I used approx 4 coats of base and 6 coats of pearl on andys badges. Depending on how thick th paint is i normally sit and chip it off, although to be honest all you need to do is prob lightly...

    Pic request- painted badges

    it was witha silver touch up pen. To be honest mate might just be the way the pics were taken, probably look the same in real life! If you got the two tins cant see them being much different to be honest. If you want me to redo them at any point though let me know, although tbh i'd wait till...

    shes back

    they gave me the car back with a severly buckled wheel, so much so it was pulling all over the show and the whole car was vibrating, hence why i've had my spare on all this time. So got some compensation out of em, so decided to spend it wisely and get her mint, before buying something stupid...

    Std. exhaust v yozzasport

    far too loud for daily use??? imo, its pretty quiet compared to other 172 exhausts i've heard and makes all the right noises. Whats the point in having an aftermarket exhaust if its not loud? The quality of the welds etc on the system itself were the best ive seen on an exhaust, and the guy who...

    shes back

    adrian wilson in leek, staffordshire. my car is there as we speak having a full service inc. aux belt, oil leak fixed including new gaskets, gearbox oil changed, braided lines with refill and bleeding of brakes, exhaust mount fitted, samco hoses installed and thats costing me circa £450. altho...

    Been on a spending spree again :D

    coilovers arent worth the money imho. i considered them, and then dismissed them as for the best part of £600 the £450 highsports are just as good unless you really need the adjustability, then i'd look at spending a few quid extra on some variant 2 KW's.

    Black Diamond Discs? Opinions

    john2modified sells loads of them so should do you a good deal. have a good reputation imo, but not on cliosport, as they are rarely mentioned when a brake change is considered. mainly because they're expensive for what they are, and the black coating is just novelty as it wears off

    Poorboys Polish... actually putting more swirls on!!!?!

    i use the poorboys professional, but the white one. works really well on my car with a microfibre pad, but you have to press on really gently or it does put stroke marks in.
  22. Middo

    good place to get replacment plates on the net!

    182 steering wheel - Warranty item?

    Painting break calipers..???

    halfords or similar for circa £10 depending what size tub you buy. use a gentle, brass, metal brush to remove all the flaky material that gets stuck on them, and then depending on how smooth they are some emery cloth to smooth them off. but depends on age of car and condition of calipers...

    Steering Wheel Sizes...

    dunno if a mk1 172 wheel is the same size as your mk2 one but my 320mm momo one is about 3-4 inches smaller in total diameter. if you wanna be pedantic i'll go and measure them lol

    It's done!!! Many thanks to all who have helped or have supplied parts.

    Just a few pics, because I can.

    I like! i'm still not a huge fan of the 172/182 rear on a ph1, just think it makes it look a bit 'bulgey', but apart from that exhaust looks good, and car looks like a minter
