im not feeling the bluey greeny glow from the indicator bulbs... silvervisions would have been a better choice imo.

my front sidelight needed changing on the MOT at Honda dealer.... they came and asked me how the hell you get to the bulb holder! PMSL

you think? lol im sure mine was higher... :o

Brake Question: yes, upgraded front pads/fluid change will help lots (rear pads only needed if they're worn... they do naff all) Damper Question: Eibach Sportlines will be fine with standard dampers.

thanks mate, appreciated. you'll see it on STEP 4 :)

dont get the fluid on the brake pads though! if you get it on the discs, use brake cleaner after! :)

they'll be quite easy on the 1.4 with dual optics, air conditioning could get in the way on the left... having a bloody big F4R under the bonnet makes changing ANY bulb on the 172s a bit tricky however...

i wouldnt be happy with the pads like that, especially on the front. are you sure they are the correct pads?

if the discs and pads are fine... it could be fluid related. try bleeding/changing the fluid :)

ah rite sorry... same thing though... :rasp:

its flourescent salmon! lol it said flourescent pink on the can, honest!

very nice. Clart... what splitter is that on your 172 mate?

where abouts do you live mate? local to Bournemouth by any chance, i could have a look for you?

im sorry i couldnt help any more mate... they should just lever out with a screwdriver. on a plus side... you inspired me to add a paragraph into my guide.. all done now :)

bugger. please dont use it as an excuse to get a PhSlow rear bumper... shouldnt cost much from chipsaway to sort it :)

they're too "fancy" for my liking.

:boring: badges are a joke... wheels start to get a bit too serious for my liking :rasp:

im confused. do the pads line up with the discs? the whole of the pads braking surface should have contact with the disc when braking. No, they dont "slide across" with age... but they do have auto pad wear adjustment. err, hope that helps.

average...

Just been to do some shopping and picked up some AG Glass cleaner. In with the motor accessories aisle, they have 3 or 4 bits from the AG range... how long have they stocked it for? quite handy! glass cleaner was only £4.89 too, quite cheap i thought.

why not paint them black?

heh, should have known you would have something to say ;)

they call me the Trend Setter... ;)

nope, lol they're back on the car now :)

the whole car's just undergone a 2 hour cleaning programme :approve: and Chris, those were my spare badges... yours were painted titanium with black writing ;)

cheers mate... not hard at all, just take your time. ive got another set to do here actually, thanks for reminding me :)

working on your theory, that 1.2 pug 206 rolling on 22" rims that overtook me this morning must be really happy that he beat me :approve:

i vote standard size plates. probably around £50-£60 to get them filled at a bodyshop.

(for those who wanted to see them...) well, they look more like a flourescent salmon colour in the daylight... PMSL :D

there are clips on the renault ones, but they're quite large... plus the 172 wings are pretty solid so shouldnt have a problem. have a set of orange bulbs ready... the ones that are in there now are white (as i found out) quick 10 minute job :)
