I'd like to get them done in pearl black with silver writing and I really can't be bothered to do them myself.............
Anyone on here whos done a few sets fancy doing mine?
How much?
Thanks
Steve
Can any one explain why they like black and silver plates?
Apart from the fact they are totally illegal they just look strange on a modern car.
I like making cars individual etc but number plates should stay totally standard IMO as anything else just looks chavvy.
Simply because I cannot see the point. Over £100 for something that makes no difference at all to the car. I don't even notice when other people have splitters. I just don't get the obsession with them
Noooooooooooooooooooooo lol
I will not be buying a splitter!
Ok I'm convinced on the black bullets. That will be the final mod.
Will be back with some proper photos at some point.
Re: Little taster for you
I would except they get in the way when someone sits in the back!
Was thinking of taking them out so that from behind people can see:
Well, I fit some sportlines. Just a phone pic for now. I will get back on here with some proper photos soon.
As far as I'm concerned the car is now finished. The only idea I'm toying with is black bullets with silver writing.
Just need to get her on some track days now
Opinions welcome->
I fitted sportlines to my 172 last week. At first I thought there wasn't much difference but they have definitely got lower after a few days. Just give it some time.
I sold my impreza wrx and got a 172. I've never regretted it.
However, I really suggest you try one properly first. I am 6'5 so a bit taller than you and after a few weeks I realised that the seats had to go. I was getting back/neck ache a lot. I got some cobra seats, modified the subframe and...
Well I wouldn't worry too much about it. My hub fell all over the place but didnt have any problems.
Sportlines are all fit now, I've just gotta give it a good run and see the difference :)
I am halfway through fitting springs at the moment. Did the rears last night, no problem. Doing the fronts today. I better not have any driveshaft problems lol
Every time I see your car it looks like the wheels are a photoshop for some reason. It must be the matt black, it just looks a bit strange. Am I the only one?
Really enjoyed watching you push it in qualifying. Going round paddock hill bend you were really giving it some stick! The left front looked like it was gonna fold under the car! What was the tyre like after those laps?
Most of the cars had a few fast laps then slow down laps but you were...
Nothing you can do really. Not worth butchering them up as you won't be able to return the car to standard. You need to either replace the drivers seat, or buy a bigger car. I opted to change the seats as I love the car.
1 Bucket seat and subframe will not cost that much and will improve your...
Here's what I did to my drivers seat!
I'm 6'5 and now I fit with a nice amount of headroom :)
The passenger seat is fitted normally and its slightly lower than standard. The drivers side subframe was modified somewhat
J, I now have a 2003 172 and its the same. I never leave th ei-pod in the car though so its not really a problem. And it must charge it cos it never runs out of power.
How do I check the system for pressure???
There is a sticker under the bonnet saying that tracer had already been used on the car. I informed the garage of this as the previous owner must have also had problems.
Hi guys.
Bought an 03 172. Air con didn't work. So I had it re-gassed with my service and they said they detected no leaks and the system was almost empty so they charged me a fortune to fill it up.
Air con worked again, great, but for some reason it didn't feel that impressive. Not sure if that...
