Thats a great colour.

What budget have you got to play with? Stretch to a Trophy?

By mikey? Much nicer to use than the ph2 wheel imo.

I just had the ph1 refurbed in real leather with silver stitching, looks great.

Same insurance group. Only the 172cup and the trophy are more expensive to insure.

Is that mates rates or normal price?

Get decent coilovers ie not gaz

I've owned both. If they were both in equal condition i'd get the 172. Cheaper, no slower, more mpg, better colours. If you're thinking of ever getting coilovers, makes sense to get the cheaper car. The exhaust is also cheaper to replace, which will need doing at some point.

I've always found F1's need to be slightly lower pressure's to get them working well.

A duel? Why yes. Here are the rules I abide by http://people.howstuffworks.com/duel2.htm

People look for a good sense of humor in a partner. I'd marry you.

You know me. Slllooooowwwww.

Sunflower pwns liquid yellow IMO.

Didn't seem to clever chucking that much cash at it. The splitter's costing nowt (exchanging it for some tings), the respray is under £50, the bonnet under £200. Can live with that, and as the bonnets black already any stonechips won't show!

New plans afoot. Getting the wing sprayed in a week or so, flame red (original colour). Then I've got a CF Leon Cupra splitter arriving soon. Then getting the bonnet carbon skinned.

Best colour for a ph1. Lovely.

They are what Halfords give away cheap in there wheel/tyre packages. Not great Steve.

Prefer the current face, the facelift seems to draw the front out, making it appear taller and narrower. See what the RS version looks like.

I bought the cup as I preferred it. Never been a fan of xenons, found the standard lights better with up-rated bulbs. Hated the auto-wipers, but the cup wipers needed upgrading to the batter stalk control. Was getting buckets so the faux-leather wasn't an issue, and I prefer AC to climate...

Cambelt is 5 years as well.

Nice. Look better with a CF splitter though.................................

Just noticed the fabric trendlines, nice!

The ABS WON'T be due to fuse removal, that also changes the brake bias to 50/50 IIRC. There's a separate way of disabling the ABS, PM Tom as he's done it. Will need to reverse the process. That'll sort the cruise as well.

I could get some pics if that'd help? The other workplace wouldn't be the driving experience place would it ;)

It's basically sticky vinyl. Protects the paintwork, requires removal by professionals, but thats usually included in the purchase cost. Talking 800-1000 for a decent job (ie bumpers off etc if going for whole car).

TBF thats common practice now, most 5 series I see have one dummy exhaust.

Thats the works version IIRC, should be good for about 22k!!

With the overboost a lot of them are dyno'ing at 200bhp standard! Yep, the 2004 facelift kept the SC.

"mature owner". Right.

c**t! It's his 1st time out, but I doubt the 'Ford' will ever see track work.
