The fig of £2700 you've mentioned will get you a minter staight off that wants for nothing. It might take a bit to get it, but it'll happen, there are aso tone of 172's out there.
To me, it seems like you're not finding much out there, so are settling for this one. As I said i'd not be...
Yep. A cup one fits a mk1 vee, as does the mk2 vee/182 trophy spoiler. I use mk1 vee's as an example as most have the early (ph1) boots on them (some don't) but it's all the same.
I'd be so wary !! If he's had a few & knows them then he should know that anyone clued up will ask about the belts etc, yet he has nothing to show for them being done :S Mickey Mouse if you ask me.
There are a lot of cars out there. Unless he's going to knock the money off for a belt change...
One cup pack is the rear spoiler (it'll have a red brake light in it) & the front splitter. The other is the suspension & anthracite wheels.
I'd go for one with both packs on it.
Re: Hertfordshire Photo Spot Locations?
I've no idea on locations etc, but if i'm given a postcode (that works) i'll come along. I can also update the thread title with the details etc.
Can I ask how much cash you ploughed into it ? Was it standard when you got it ?
194mph is mad !! What sort of times did it do 60 and 100 in ?
A quite new dude on here has one in Imperial too, iirc it has a 'Paul' reg plate on it. You may know of him ?
I have no clue about stuff mate. I just like the Megs one.
Actually if PM you a 'shopping list' can you tell me exactly which thnigs to buy ? I'm crap mate.
The ones I mention are off of those. The 172 (phase 2 five spokes are called alium) the dynamique ones that look the same are 15's.
182 wheels either come in silver or anthracite (dark grey) 16's in both colours.
Breakers, ebay. Or pay to become a member on here as folk sell them on here.
Painted won't look nice, black looks better.
You can sand the araldite off yeah, just be sure not to touch the splitter with the emery paper. I'd mask off the splitter round the glue bit & do it.
15's from a dynamique will fit on it, as will phase 2 172 ones (16 inch) they may rub a bit though. Phase 1 172 wheels (oz's) will fit on it.
Or even some 182 wheels, also 16 inch. Lots of choice tbh.
I'd go no bigger than 16's - 15's if you want better 'driveability' etc.
