i am picking up a good example 172 02plate with 48k on it, all services and mots have been done before there due dates apart from the major service. im assuming i will need to get it booked in...

Not my cupa tea, but whatever floats ur boat.
U should defo get side strips done! And don't spray the wheels completly orange, get them done black with an orange rim and center cap for the racing look!! Will make the car look more expensive than just slapping them orange, which make them looks...
