yep that looks spot on giles, the way its gonna be i think

lovelt photochops guys, currently liking the bonnet yellow with colourcoded sides... i'm torn lol

ive made dash inserts and rear bumper strip from real carbon fibre, and used the real carbon sheet to create a few front badges. its not hard, just time consuming. i would never recommend trying to cover the roof or anything like that without a proper vacuum former. if your serious about...

^ cheers matey. right another photoshop challenge, carbon bonnet with colour coded sides please :)

all that needed was a set of euro style chromed split rims and it would have been absolutly awesome, workmanship looks mint.

I'd get a ph1 172 tbh, not that i'm biased or anything but they're much rarer and really dont feel like an 'old' car. engines are pretty much bombproof on em as well and you get little things like cable throttle, better airbox etc, basically better for carrying engine mods. just out of...

alot lighter, annoyingly not as light as my alloy one though :(. Defo thumbs up on the bonnet, not sure on the boot though hmmmm me thinks a carbon roof is also needed... wheres that credit card lol

i've got a 1.2 corsa SXi, which has pissed me off cos my girlfriends got a 1.4 SXi lol

a good ph1 on a lowish mileage (about 30k) your talking about 4k. ph2 5k, 182 8k very very cheap

lmao, trust me itll be a slow hot lap for a while ;)

3k? you'll also need to buy a good set of coilovers to make the car handle anywhere near as well as a 172. Your hung up on this 'i wanna be unique thing' but i dont see why u cant just buy a ph 1 172, and then make that unique, for the same money and incovenience as an engine conversion you...

Get pics of your old car up, that was a sweet looking motor remember seeing it on another forum

i know, i'm simplifying it immensly as i'm sick of writing the full process over and over again. If you want a full and detailled account of the process of spraying search for some of my previous posts on it including grits of sandpaper used etc etc

one of many people with problems! if you wanna know if its worth it pm adamhodg and i'm sure he'll put u straight. seriously the problems u encounter are ridiculous. Cheaper to just buy a 172 and then turbo it, will still be unique

i cant see it! damned little red x's

i think most of the people on here who have done engine conversions will discourage you from attempting one, they're just so damn expensive and difficult. Best to just get the 172 in the first place

i was waiting for u to call ;)

lol, mods are kinda done in the wrong order arent they? would have though wheels would have been first

not worth doing it yourself, if you've not practised on something else before hand it will look bumpy and a mess. They should fully prep the surface by fully sanding the strips till they're smooth (might be best doing this yourself to save some cash) then they should use highbuild primer...

everything looks spot on, defo one of my favs on here! how u finding the wheel? when i fitted my momo i found it really difficult to drive with as its so small comapred to standard

thats why i need a photoshop :D

will do matey

theres only 1 left ;) if i dont get that though a group buys a definate possibility for some c ustom made jobbies, depends if it suits the yelllow

its a secret :) but it'll cost me 750 quid so a big decision!

Right then, i'm pretty certain i'm not gonna get a replacement alloy bonnet on my 172, so i'm gonna get a carbon one. Just wondering whether to bother getting it sprayed or not so need a photoshop to decide? Also I know somewhere i can get a carbon boot with integrated cup spoiler, a photoshop...

ah right! was gonna say i loved my carbon bonnet over winter as they dont really stone chip ;)

no diesel either which is strange

looks much better mate, just out of interest, why take your carbon bonnet off over winter?

*edit* just seen the reg in your profile prob about the 4.5k - 5k mark
