Theres some in the FS section im tempted to buy

Yeah, kinda sucks but live and learn! Also im not really rating the Apex springs, faaar to bumpy, but its mayb because its on standard shocks idk... but i might either buy some koni dampers or coilovers, undecided atm

when shocks go they usually become bouncy... or they have for me

Nooo :( as jamie says they will try and pin it on you. Glad your ok mate, its just a car ( A pretty car) but it can be replaced

wish i thought of that.. The 172 gets a blast with a pressure washer weekly and a proper clean twice a month :o

My passenger xenon is intermittant, sometimes it wont come on and i have to turn the lights on and off a few times before it comes on... Ballast? Also occasionally when driving when the car is kind of labouring e.g in 5th gear doing 40mph, if i put my foot down it misfires a few times then...

I couldnt be arsed cleaning it tbh but rob forced me to :( its still in my family so its not totally gone :D Cheers :)

Cant hate Ph1's I wanted a Black Ph1 but there was non near me at the time.

Would they look better behind turinis... :o Win! i <3 you

a good clean, wax polish etc twice a month and a blast with pressure washer at least once a week.

£400 for alloys is a bit much for this car, its a budget kinda car ;) Got the exhaust fitted etc? Vids? I got that pic of the silver calipers behind he wheel for you its in my thread though u cant really see them as 172 wheel spokes are huge :rasp:

used a bit more but only has 26k on the clock o.O

Got some day pics so you can actually see the lowering... gave it a blast with the pressure washer to get most of the sh*te off, and dried it off Pics taken with iPhone as my mussus has taken my camera to tenerife Also since lowering the car the exhaust has been knocking...

cars looking good willdot. <3 tempting me to buy some turinis :quiet:

I wanted a Ph1 :( but mine was a steal at the price lol, hope to see some good updates.

Well after my drunken ebay session a few days ago, i ended up buying some 40mm apex springs, so though sod it, just finished fitting them now.. Its not bad, a little bouncy but i think these are only going to be temp anyway. Few pics (crappy iPhone and the only lighting was the light outside...

The seats arnt all that bad imo i quite like the driving position but i agree on the steering wheel, but having the airbag light on will p*ss me off to no end. I think im gonna just sell these springs when they arrive and put the cash back into the coilover pot, il never learn drunken ebay...
