Hmmm... The alfa doesn't really do it for me. I think it looks dated.
I think I would have the subaru though - I think it looks cleaner than the evo and I think the BMW just doesn't look that evil or sexy.

I have a dynamique with 172 bumpers but dynamique wings (soon to be replaced with 1*2 ones). I have turinis fitted atm but will spacers improve things at the moment and if so how thick do I need them? What will they do to handling and looks?
Will I need different ones if I get 1*2 wings...
Grip on the road is worse.
On a track maybe but the roads are too uneven, potholes everywhere and if the grip does go (with them being snappier) the consequences on the road are far more serious than on the track.
As for the acceleration I did some calcs and worked out each wheel had a...
I just sold my 1.2 dynamique in black 02 plate 50k on clock for 3350. I had 27 people call up about it and 15 of those were desperate to arrange viewing. I think I could have got at least 3.5k for it.
You are looking at 4.5 on autotrader me thinks.
I wouldn't.
I did it and it makes the handling snappy, ride rough, steering all over the shop and after a while you will realise they look to big for the car.
Sam
Yeah mine is identical to yours but it looks lower :s
They guy I bought it from didn't know anything as he was a trader
Yeah mine if fully colour coded. But my side skirts look different to yours.
I do not have xenons - I am still missing those.
I have turinis instead of those wheels -...
I wasn't looking quite as new as 04 I was looking more at 02-52-03 plates but I thought the difference was about 10%.
Check out eBay - I found that is a s**t market for sellers and providing you do your checks correctly should be able to get one much cheaper than autotrader or piston heads

Pepsi I can't look now but I will PM you a car for sale on eBay - a 1.6 in black.
Alternatively seach my posts and you will find I made thread titled Just bought this - now having second thoughts or something like that.
I had an offer of 3300 accepted it was a 52 plate 1.6 dynamique in...
Yeah if it was a straight swap you would be insane!
The difference in price between 1.2s and 1.6s in reality is very small indeed!
I have recently done a lot of searching and I have found the difference to be 10% tops.
Sam
Ok I will have a look at that in a second
So far I have this on the car:
172 Side skirts (don't know what make they are I will get some piccies up)
RS front (with a splitter of some sort are splitters standard on these???)and rear bumpers
2.0 16v badges (I think I will change these)
RS...
Jamie, when you put your 172 bumper on did you change the wings too?
I have just bought a sport replica and the wings don't fit flush and I presume it is because the original wings were used and not RS ones.
Thanks dude
Sam
Yeah I really like Medici's grille.
How much are they? I have a 172 bumper and a RS grill at present so would the MS designs one look weird?
Thanks
Sam
Ok I might give him a shout.
Brian - purchased it.
Took a guy from a body shop with me that Dad knows and gave it a good check over.
It had been damaged from rear arch.
Side airbag was deployed and they have now got new module, side impact sensors and new seat etc... with receipts to...
Just purchased a 172 replica and it currently does not have xenons.
How much would it cost to purchase some, where can I get them from and is it a DIY fitment job?
I want to sell them in 6 months when I sell te car.
Thanks
Sam
Ok, that sounds brilliant mate.
What sort of time will you get to Newark?
I have work from 11-3 in Grantham (14miles away), would it be possible either side of then?
Thanks
Sam
I have just picked up a new car and I have noticed one of the turinis is only being held on by 3 bolts. On closer inspection and by taking the wheel off it has become clear the wheel locking wrench for that wheel must have been lost. They have therefore sheared off the bolts somehow so the...
You have to take all the foam out.
Renault reckon it takes an hour and a half to remove the old one and replace it with the new one.
You have to be careful not to damage the clips.
I have a K and N. Sounds brilliant and I think adds a little in terms of responsiveness but that is perhaps due more to the sound giving that impression.
Pipercross Viper is recognised as being good also.
