Takes a while but you all get there in the end.

Yes, but the fact is it'd cost a lot more than selling yours and buying a 2.0. Seeing as the sport's look better in standard form there's no real point.

It does indeed 100% depend upon the car, and with the above car, my point stands.

I'm only on a track pad at the moment or I'd do it, but any colour other than silver and you're a plonker. Silver wheels says "Hi, I've got quite a nice car, it now looks fresh with 'new' wheels" Black and red says "Hi, I wish I was still 17 and I hope I get school girls wet with these...

So the world is streaming really is kicking off with a boom....

Wow

Who are you banning? I'm bored and curious.

What an awesome looking motor.

No work? Hard life!

Brilliant looking car, seriously aggressive.

Nothing better than watching pony tv in superb quality... lol!

So I can get a plain one, none of this bling bling crap around the top end? Looks like that dodgy city rover ffs.

I like the price, I may give a go.... On looking at the website, maybe not. The website it self looks like it's from the 90's and so does most of the selection on content.

Mugged off! I love these, I hate that silver crap around the roof, I assume it can come without though? If I weren't such a pauper I'd treat myself to one.

Get a load of coke cans/beer tins, cut the tops and bottoms off and put a slice down them. Cover in exhaust paste and jubilee clip in place. Sorted. /Properpikey

Reverse switch on the gearbox surely? Very cheap and easy fix, you'll get covered in gear oil though.

Yeah before your final layer of red, so flat it with very fine paper, final layer of red, 30 mins or less, then lacquer.

Flat it first IMO (if you haven't already), it'll give you a smoother finish. :)

Not questioning you, but am I totally wrong in saying that if you flat the top coat with very fine paper (say 4000) then the marks are so minor the lacquer 100% covers them up?? As I'm sure I've seen this done before. As someone who's used a range of different lacquers on (imo) properly...

It's lovely, but that gear knob is utter tripe. Shame.

No that's all good Jon, I think the main reason for my technique is because I've generally only painted up wheels/grab handles etc. so my finish has never needed to be utterly AMAZING. The 30 minute thing makes perfect sense, but seriously, look at different lacquer. You say it can't be that...

Hi. I'd actually listen to the above TBH, but I will offer other advice. If you're worried enough to worry about times, get some decent lacquer. From what I've seen, flatting back the final coat with some proper fine paper then lacquering leaves AWESOME results, I've never perscribed to the...

I'd be going with Scone's suggestion. Generic maps never do much to the 172 that I've seen/heard of. At least with a live map it's tailored to the characteristics of the car.

Keeps the prices lower for the rest of us, it's like Baghdad up there!

That mental Vish, I swapped the ph1 for a 320 and the price increase was £0.00, oh and a £25 admin fee. So yeah, it cost me £25 to put the bimmer on their insurance.

I don't even own one any more, so I've got no reason to stick up for it, but I'd comfortably get 400 miles from a tank except when commuting in REALLY heavy traffic.

Jesus! Didn't realise it was that much heavier! Thought there'd be less than 100kg in it!

Are you on crack? 25 and 27 MPG? 800 of those miles were motorway? My 172 would have easily done 43 MPG with that amount of motorway miles in there. (Same weight, power, "quality" of car)

I am 90% sure you're making this too difficult. Go to a breakers, cut off all of the headlight connections for a mk2 ph2 (non sport should work I believe). The ph1 sport has the following bulbs in the "light unit" Side light Dipped beam Main beam Indicator The ph2 light has EXACTLY the same...

Oh J dizzle..... The computer versions will run everything, so no issues there. As far as I'm aware there's an app now so that you can download the 4od videos etc to your mobile device too. The 27 screen is excellent, we have two in this house and I have the 13" MBP. I've had the 13" for a...
