Just to update a visit is still on for the 23rd(this saturday)!! They are open till midday so would be good if we could get down there for 10o/c but dont worry if its too early or you cant make it because we can always pop down there with any others another time.
At the moment i have 9 people...
Yes it was me!! Have,nt got a body kit its just standard apart from my huge colour coded arial on the back of my car-lol.
oh&its a 172(a real one)
Big thumps up
:D
I never forget the day i trading in my 1.2 for my 172. What an experience to get in a car that i had,nt ever tested driven at all just wanted one. The first touch of the excellerator jus blew me away-shot off like nothing id been in before. Ok, it may not be the fastest thing on the road but...
Im really sorry to hear that. Got the same spoiler on my car&someone tried to rip it off once but failed! Its jealousy because its no use to anyone now. They should bring back the old laws&cut off peoples hands-then you,d have a society of armless chavs.
I had a 1.2 before &it was just so cheaper to buy a 172 as changing the engine is so much hassle&alot of stuff has to be changed&upgraded. But apart from that i think it will really look the part when its finished.
They really need to be refurbed cos they are SO crewed up! Someone did suggest having the inside of each section the same colour as the car then different or as they are now.
Ive been thinking about lowering it but with 2 or more in the back the arches rub already&i didnt want to ruin the feel...
Im sorry to say this but i learned from my first car that its absolutely pointless spending so much money on doing your car up when you have a lawnmover engine pushing it around!!
Can someone change these alloys to black. Ok, i know alot of you may think these are w**k wheels but i like them.
Cheers

Also feel free to do them in any other colour you think may suit.
When Wayne(slugger) took me out in his at GDI i must say that it seemed to handle very well! I know its only part of it but imo the tyres can also make a big difference to how the car haddles under pressure.

Its probably one of those who has his parents pay for EVERYTHING! He will soon write it off.
I knew a kid up the road from me-woke up on his 18th to the sound of his dad sayin "Happy Birthday son, your present is sitting on the drive"
Only a BRAND new Porche Boxster convertable! He wrote it...
