I'd say red, but it has to match the colour of red you've already got otherwise it won't look right.

Fair enough.... i'm just a bit envious that you've got a black & gold while i've got a boring old iceburg, although when I refurb my 172 wheels i'm doing them the same colour as yours, so I must thank you for that as i'd almost given up on finding a shade of grey I liked.:cool:

I think the yellow looks fine mate, although I think you should do something with the side bullets, maybe spray them black or the same grey as your wheels and highlite the numbers in yellow. Would finish off the theme you've got going. Although if it was mine it would be all black, wheels...

Nice car Darci, and the photo location is pretty cool aswell. How you finding the Brembos? Whenever I was in my mates R27 I damn near headbutted the windsreen every time he braked hard.:evil:

Why's everyone saying mate, buddy & dude? Have you not checked out her profile pic? Hot girls with fast car FTW! Welcome to CS, nice car BTW.

You can post pics a number of ways, when your writing a post you can hit the insert image icon and upload them from your hard drive or photobucket or whatever online album your useing. What I tend to do is open them in photobucket and just copy & paste them directly into the post i'm writing...

JESUS! Your gonna be popular with a profile pic like that! Be prepared for some immature comments from lads that couldn't pull a pint, let alone your fine self.;) Well done on getting a 197, hot girls with fast cars are always cool.:cool:

I've just moved mine away from the intake hole, jammed it up by the battery so it doesn't get in the way of the air coming in through the grill. I do plan on removing the acoustic valve just aint got round to it yet.

Black 1*2 Bell Green Rd, Cov about 12:45pm today. Woman driving with Small Child in the back, doubt their on here but you never know.

Cheers for that, thats pretty intensive but i'm guessing it's the only way of doing it. My wheels are gonna need professional refurbing as the rims are not in good shape, so I don't think re-spraying them is an option for me at the moment. Thanks anyway for the link.

I need a bit of advice on re-spraying my 172 alloys. There not in the best nick, there curbed and the surface is blistering in places, I don't need them to look like a show car and I don't want to spend a week having a detailing w*nk over them, I just want to spray them a different colour...

WTF! I have no idea how a picture of a defender turned into a Corvette.:S But this was the original picture....lets see if this turns into another car.

There slow, unstable on normal roads, expensive to run, agricultural with no comfort of any kind unless you but a modern one that'll cost a fortune. But there still cool as f*ck!

I've got GCSEs, A-Levels and a BA Hons in photography and none of them prepared me for trying to make a living out of photography, i've met amatuers with far more technical knowlegde than me but no natural talent, and i've met professionals that know very little but make a bloody fortune...

I've lived in flats smaller than that!

Just think how p1ssed off you'd be if it was carbon fibre!

Nice! The thing I like about them is they look like they were fitted as standard, oh...and there p1ss cheap.:)

Love it, when I turn the 172 into a track car i'm having one of these as my daily driver. Don't like the wrap though, but then it's not my car.

The JMS induction setup is the V6 airbox, ive got one it's pretty good. Although there's nothing wrong with the standard setup and a Pipercross/K-tec panel filter (there both the same) Theres also the 172 ph1 airbox it has two smaller intakes over the one large one on the V6.

I diddn't, I just jacked the car up as high as I could, some peolpe jack it up over a curb or a step to get extra room, you just need it high enough to get a srewdriver or drill under it.

Those screws are fine mate. When fitting mine I drilled holes in the splitter through most of the tabs, lined the middle tab up with the middle of the bumper and drilled into the bumper with a drill bit slightly smaller than the screws, then screwed it in. Just repeat this till your done then...

Car looks nice mate, has it been lowered since photos? Looks a little high in the last one, got any plans for it?

They charge a fortune to do anything, although they make a nice set of Williams replica wheels. Best thing to do is get quotes from them and then get quotes from other tuners and the others will allways be cheeper. I went there twice for quotes once for me and once with a mate that had an...

I think it's the best aftermarket grill ive seen, way better than the steel one k-tec sell. The standard one looks good but so does that one, it's personal taste. Although i'd be a bit worried if it lets less air into engine bay, cooling and all that, and you were right about those wheels.

Interesting grill, where did you get that from, or did it come with the car?

Welcome to the world of 172 ownership.;)

Would look OK on an iceburg but one stone or close encounter with a curb and it's ruined.

Iceburg Ph1 172 reg ended in VAG Parked outside EuroCarParts 2pm

Some howlers there, but these are my favorites. Just epic!

Thank god I saw this vid! (55secs) I was thinking what it would look like as a carbon wrap, with a Carbon bonnet as I thought it might look good. I was wrong! Looks fcuking terrible. Reminds me of something
