Near cheddington/Tring way at about 12:15 this afternoon, flashed you and waved, you gave me a gourmeless gurn in return, so might not be sum1 off here, lol. Was clean tho.

very tidy mate, nice car.

not good, not good at all...

not all of them do, cuz in europe the driver sits the other side. yours MIGHT be an import, there is speculation on which ones do/dont have locks on which doors but my theory is they just wacked on whatever was lying about in the factory. my cup doesnt have locks either side.

Drove past you yesterday (sunday) at about 12:45pm, in that bloody pouring rain, you were waiting to turn right. I flashed you but it as impossible to see anything.

download the latest version from microsoft.com, that looks like MSN Messenger - Bronze Age Edition your running there.

theres a black 172ff at the local garage near me, they want £7600 for it!!!!! i paid 6.5K for my cup with 21k miles on it 6months ago. what the hell has happened to the value of these cars, a while back the value was plumetting.

at time of getting 172: 19, 1 yr ncb, driving for a year when i insured it: £2000 mate he's shafted, hes not gonna get it inside 2k-2.5k imo.

^^isnt urs on h&r's tho? when im sh1tt1ng out £50 notes mine will be on h&r's too, really finishes it off.

imo, anything non-standard looks completely, well and truly out of place. one day when ive got time im going to get a new head unit, then rig the standard facia onto the front so it looks completey standard, as best as possible.

very tidy, nice one mate.

hey man, wasnt me but r u local? i live in burton latimer (just outside corby), ive seen a girl driving about in a black 182 between here and finedon, flashed her but shes not interested. (the lights, flashed the the lights, nothing else.)

i considered the vts when i got rid of my 1.4, then a cup went past me in the street, followed by a vts (as if god was helping me choose), it was not a hard descision to make... (p.s., i got the cup, just for those who may not of guessed)

i was wondering how long we'd have to wait for a picture of placebo...

i always think the FF's look lower than my cup, must be some illusion, lol.

^not convinced? lol. tbh i didnt think itd make any difference, only did it for the sound. took it off, doesnt sound much different but like i said, its much sharper. god knows why.

yeah i drive like a bit of a granny due to the amount of miles i do, came from nottingham to kettering yesterday and was sat at 44mpg, and that was the back(ish)roads thrui melton mowbraw etc, not down the M1. get one mate.

i dont have any data to back this up, but it definately works, there is a definate sharper throttle response. MPG has gone up by 1-2 as well, not bad, lol.

Definately worth it, goes like a rocket in 2nd now, acceleration after 5k is much smoother and throttle response is noticeably sharper. I definately reccomend getting this thing out...

Re: Trophy Vs 172cup i have to agree, ive done it a few times. once i did a very (accidental drift half way round a rounabout, and somehow controlled it, i must of looked awesome (or like a c**k) but it was fun, and i didnt crap my pants either). great little cars, all of them, who cares whos...

lovely colour, although those wheels dont do it for me, get some turinis on there boy, hehe. super clean though.

lol, no, hairdryer is more than enough. heatgun will lift the paint and all sorts.

id be tempted to try heating them with a hairdryer then peeling them off, like, heating where ur peeling if u catch my drift, just to soften the glue.

looks like a great show, lovely pics mate.

where did u get the cup 172 stickers from that r on the side skirts?

yeah the liquid yellow is a rare one. i remain reserved on the carbon bonnet but everything else it top notch. I have a pic of her car that I took at kimbolton that is my desktop background atm, lol.

i do, get a few back as well, although there are alot of miserable sods about, theres a woman with a ff172 round where i live and she only uses it for the school run, so i dont bother with her. always flash everyone else tho.

cool beans, thanks man. ill get right on it.

every sunday morning, wash and wax. its the only way.

I calen my car, religiously every sunday morning right now, but as winter approaches that cud tail off a tad so i need to get set for winter. Should i polish, EGP and then give maybe 2 coats of wax? how long does egp seal the paint for? what with all the muck, water and grime at get thrown at...
