i'd buy one, especially if your planning on doing some mods to the area damaged (ie if it was a clio 1.2, and you wanted to put a 172 bumper on it)

ive seen a euro golf round my way with em on, looked good but did just look dirty from a distance, looks better on that colour though, as this was like a dark red :) to be honest the amount of people who drive around with shitted up numberplates, i dont think they'll bother with you

its almost impossible to say, as you use however many coats it needs. generally around 3 coats should be ok

yeah sporting 1.2 16v 96bhp standard. picks up much nicer than my current clio.

yeah - just keep plying it in your hands so your always using a clean section on the car.

looking like it will probably need bonding onto the original spoiler - so whilst not rocket science, it wont be totally straightforward. unless your planning on having a big bodykit i would try and get something more subtle such as a trophy/cup/utopia or even a carcept one if you want...

dont put them back on if your planning on using any sort of cutting compound/polish as its just a ballache taking them off again. i left mine a good week inside where it was warm, before polishing/waxing. then put them back on the car.

nope. get it all done - you wont regret it. looking around 200-300 depending on bodyshop reputation and quality

starting to see a load of 172's cropping up my area, however most are semi-chavved on big wheels, lexus lights and stuck on sticker stacks :banghead:

its a tough one, as the pug gti is arguably going to require more maintenace than a newer clio. i still prefer my old punto sporting to my clio as they're both 1.2 16v, but the punto was loads quicker, and just needed some good suspension to sort it out. also as the 1.2 16v corsa can be...

looks mint... ... but will look even better if i ever finish your other bits ;)

excellent photoshopping, but its a no from me too

already PM'd you about this, and replied in your previous threads. go to prospeed, powerflow, H&S, or exhaustsuk and get one made.

nice to see the splitter has survived lol

nice to see some of the people on here actually drive their cars :D

love that! get the engine in it now lol

i had a go at doing my side strips and used 2 cans at each stage. at halfrauds prices that going to be around £40 unless you buy the big cans of primer and lacquer lol

i was quoted around 300 for all that when i wanted my car done, but that was just 'normal' rate off the bodyshop - so no cash in hand deals. needless to say it didnt get done lol

on the 172 i think i'd always be tempted to go for a carbon one, as its not ott but is a very nice little mod.

glad you've seen the light and removed the turinis ;) its looking mentally nice now!

to be honest i think most cars there wont be finished, theres always more things to do, so go along for the hell of it ;) look forward to seeing the finished article :approve:

yeah, very professional, really know their stuff. I've used their laquer but not their primer, laquer was great cant comment on the primer, top coats have always been good :)

no no no, put the kit on, ten times better :)

might need longer bolts, never really used spacers so couldnt tell you if they're needed for 2mm. they should go on fine though :)

are you referring to the laquer? i used the exact same laquer and the results were very good :) because its acrylic and not cellulose i find its easier to apply

best thing i bought was a tin of leveller from halfords, really does smooth the paint, and if you get any patches of clouding in the laquer use a spot of this and it does tend to get rid of it as it reactivates the surface of the paint, also use a hair dryer whilst spraying to heat the laquer as...

i like the braids, expensive though! have a look on gdi's website :)

i never understand people who spend that amount of money on a car and then stick it on springs

looks mint, really liking those wheels :)

cheers imitation is the highest form of flattery :approve: tbh i'm quite happy with my car now, looking into new wheels, and having a half car respray to get her mint for fcs but thats basically it. will have to have a good nose at those wheels at fcs if your going, bet they look mint in real...
