172 mk2 alloys with No tryes, just the rim.
Condition is good, no major marks, some very light scratches on the outter rim, but generally very good and very clean. :)
What are the worth?

It looks bloody mint! Wish i had the spare cash! :(
Anyone used this before...recently bought some from carwash'n'wax (thanks Dave - very good service :) ). Is it best to use this just over a polished surface or over a waxed base? :)
Can i use this when the car is soaking wet, do they act like a chamy to do all the main drying or are they more of a damp/dry microfibre which just get the last bit off. :S
Ta,
Dan
I know, I know....jumping on the band wagon :o
But hey, it looked like a simple mod, so i thought i'd give it ago! :)
Finished it quite easily, with a little bit of techy support from other CS members - thanks. Just been out for a spin to hear and feel the fruits of my labour...
jumping on the band wagon of acoustic valve removal :o
The last bit i've got to remove is the small rubber tube that connects the valve to somewhere (lol)...can i just cut this and tape it up? :S
Anyone got a samco silicon bend? I have just ordered a bend that doesn't have a breather hole in it like the hillpower ones.
Have you got a separate filter for the breather pipe? Wheres the best position for it?
Or should i just butcher the samco hose and stick the breather pipe in there...
Is it 70mm?
Thinking of replacing the standard one with a hillpower bend or the one below, depending on availability/cost etc??

Being a complete techy nonce, how can you tell if their fcuked? I'm getting a few odd rubbing/humming (techincal description ;) ) from the drivers front wheel noticible on straight roads at 40 to 60mph. You can easily hear it as it is fairly loud.
So is this a bearing coming to the end of its...

Cheers,

Any suggestions for a non static or very low static QD spray? I'm currently using megs quik detailer, which in all fairness is very good. But i have noticed that it produces quite a lot of static on the surface of the car when wiped down etc. Whats the best stuff to use?
Ta muchly :D

Really want a williams, always wanted a mk1. 3 cars in the household is a no go, should i sell my 172 to get one?
My PC at home is fooked - its a laptop and anything remotely tasking the thing shuts down, as it over heats!! This happens when i'm transferring music to my ipod, which is so fooking annoying! Anyway, i've nicked the laptop from work and want to transfer my music over, is there any easy way to...
Thinking of getting one of these units, purely for the joint sat nav and speed camera detection combo. Has anyone got one of these? What are they like, easy to use and realiable? Also do you need or can you get an antenna extension from them due to the heat reflective windscreen??
Thanks all...
Is this anyone off here selling this? Recognise the vid from the other day?

Now that the footie is over ( :( ) its time to get back to the most important stuff...polishing the car with poorboys polish with carnauba blue and nattys blue wax :approve:
Couldn't resist the photo's, the car looks soooo good! :) (sorry!)
And the results in the sun, well...
Just a quick pic...Looks sweet, dead happy with it! :)
Only really notice any difference in fast tight corners, the front just feels a little more sharp and turn in feels a bit more precise...could be all in the mind...but hey i think it looks great in the bay.
Dan :)
