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

Where do I get these from?:S

Taking the back seats out 30kilos gone, diddn't cost a penny & my dogs got more room and doesn't block the rear view.

You've put some effort into waxing that, very nice.

Photos I took. Check out the front wheel, curbed, looks like he actually drives it, although he can't see over it to park.

As long as I don't get a frying pan in the throat it'll be fine.

Cool as Fcuk! Call me a child, but ever since Mad Max i've allways wanted a car with a huge Supercharged engine sticking out of the bonnet! Won't be able to see where your going but nevermind. Brutal!

Well, after 2 hours of searching I think i've found what I want, any pics of these on a Iceburg 172? Ford Nimbus Grey.

As above, grey/anthrasite 5 spoke 172 wheels on an ph2 iceburg if possible. I know it's been asked before but i've been searching for pics but only found a few, and not many of them say which paint they used. I'm just going to use a rattle can as there not in the best nick, so pics and...

It's coming from the left frount when I give the wheel a yank to the right, it only does it sometimes when turning right. (Rear discs/bearings were replaced a year ago) I think it might be a wheel bearing but the searches i've done talk about a humming noise but I have a sqeeking noise...

WOW!:S Thats the most effort i've ever seen anyone put into de-badge a 172, I just pulled from the top and poured auto glym tar remover behind it, came off well easy, then wiped it over with more tar remover job done, took me about 3 minutes.
