Then try Pro-Plate Chromers at the bottom of the A13 (essex side). Speak to Bob.

Any of you in Kent? Im getting quotes of £220+ :@

Which bike can did you use?

I hit 10k after almost 2 years. The engine feels much free-er now....just as I was thinking of selling it!

BTW, the alternative for 17s is 225/35x17 as opposed to the std 205/40x17 option everyone usually opts for. And Goodyear do the F1 in this size! :devilish:

I had these on my fiesta turbo - 7x16" rims with 215/40x16 Yoko A510s. The handling was sublime but they soon went off when they were part-worn and it was wet. I changed over to Eagle F1s and they were far better. Its that 215 width that gives you plenty more footprint on the road - well worth...

Nice one LeeM. But where can I get some? BTW, tried the WonderWheels tonight on one wheel and, after much elbow grease, a jetwash and repeated applications, the stuff is coming off - hurray! *mental note to self* NEVER let em get like that EVER again!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement philip! Sounds like Ill need some matt black wheels then!! Glad to hear the car is performing well! I know the feeling, although Ive yet to have the engine mods - cant really justify it doing 30 miles a week!

*LOL* thanks Philip!! Option 1 - Id need to swap the wheels front to back a few times to get an even coating! Option 2 - hmm, a rather expensive cleaning product! The tyres are worn so I might bite the bullet and order my 17s with F1 225/35x17s Option 3 - ha, I can hear the laughter now...

Wilkinsons?! Is that like Morrisons i.e. a northern s/market?! :devilish:

Thanks for all the excellent suggestions! Ive bought some Wonder Wheels, so will give it a go (when I dry off from the burst pipe in the bathroom!). And, out of interest, whats the Autoglym cleaner called (I use their Fast Glass and Polish). Also, who makes the brake/caliper cleaner?

My 172 alloys are caked in brake dust (a moment of weakness in that I didnt have time to keep cleaning them over the winter) which is proving impossible to remove. Ive tried a couple of so-called miracle cleaners from Halfords but the baked on brake dust wont budge. Ive also tried the jetwash...

Any dealers around Sevenoaks offering cliosport discount?

Itd be nice if this wasnt restricted to members only!! Having fun right now finding a decent SE based dealer who doesnt want to rob me of over £200 for a 12k service on my 172... :@

Got a quote for my 172 import from them online and they were the cheapest by £200+ (over Tesco). They were also extremely helpful over the phone....

Thanks for the reply David. Maybe you could advise on noise/performance levels for this setup?

Has anyone got one of these yet? Is it any good? How noisy is it? Thanks!

Yes...The garage is based just outside Basildon, Essex. philip on here also has the mods mentioned in the post and is very happy with the improvements. PM him for a 2nd opinion!

Youd best read this....172 handling transformed...

Si172, Jones - check your PM!

:cry: Well, thats what you get for making assumptions Smokey! :cry: Im quite happy to put anyone who wants said conversion for their 172/Cup in touch with the person who developed it...his names not Ernie and hes no LAD :devilish:

Depends if you rate creature comforts over performance!!

Pah, whats the problem with a little squealing when they dramatically improve the braking?! Besides, most of the time you cant hear it above the engine note etc. - its only in traffic that its apparant...

Dont break anything with all that extra grip! Didnt a few of the 172s at Donnington run slicks?
