Well hopefully I should make it to the next football sesh, picked up the 172 tonight so have something fun to travel in ;) (could be the one after though due to funds)
Good result mate! Loud? Quick? How you finding it to drive?
Did you buy it off steve per chance?
If it was you at the oval, you followed me down from blackfen to the oval last saturday, I went into lessness, you parked halfway down?
Car is finally upgraded now, so should be much more recognisable ;)
Cheers mate, told ya it was a good one I was getting ;) I shoulda popped by really being so close, but I think 300+ miles was enough tbh!
I was gonna say, I thought you was from around this way down down where they speak strange! Hope to see ya at the next meet then mate!
Cheers mate, needs...
Cheers mate, so much better than the 1.2 :D
I was REALLY unsure of them until I got down there, was going to do them silver as soon as I got them, but my god they look good in the flesh!!!
Yeah man, took long enough, lol!
These weren't "pics" as such, just a couple of shots off my phone...
Was that you I drove past today then? Just outside Dan's place?
Someone in a silver 182/172... lol!
Glad there's so much love for this car! Having a sport is easy, much more effort needed to get a 1.2 loved!
Lol, cheers mate
The paint work is brilliant, I never knew it would be this good, but its in really good nick!
As for the wheel, I really wasnt sure, and was gonna have them done silver, but I think they've grown on me and will carry on like this for a while!
Trust me mate, its worth the...
Cheers mate, its not just one he was selling, he used to own it, its lovely tbh!!
Lunch was bloody lovely mate, (we went to the willy wicket? I think) good to meet you, sorry I didnt have more to say, was a very busy/rushed day and I was like a kid at Christmas!
What was you actually there...
I went through there tonight! Missed me though didnt ya!
Were you the guy who was at the oval last saturday mate? I was in my pov spec 1.2 at the time!
In Bristol I met this funny talking chap and we chatted for some time... (nice chap I must say)
He then took a load of my money and the keys to my old car with a smile on his face :(
Thankfully he had something for me in return......
I am in love....
Full spec....
Smoothed bonnet...
Looks AMAZING mate, you've done a brilliant job with that spoiler too! (I hope you updated the other thread)
Recieved the wheel today, thank you so much mate, really appreciated!!!
I actually love this! lol! I'm just about to buy a ph1 but I think in the summer I might buy a shitter and use it as a car to learn on. Have a bit of a project going with my mates or something. lol!
Nice one Ahmed, how did you find it to do??? Tempted to do my new car white, but the orange stereo would drive me nuts, so I'd have to take that apart too.....
Indeed, just take off that black plastic boot lining, and then there are three nuts iirc... Not had to do at all!! Grommet from halfrods or local motor factors and you're laughing!
Treat all your plastics with bumper care after that too ;) will make the world of difference
Looks brilliant mate, colour looks so good clean.
The elf sticker needs to come off of the rear window though IMO. Will look much more tidy!
As for the rear wiper, just remove the whole motor assembly and put a grommet in the whole (or get one of the flush covers people sell on here) tidies up...
I knew you'd be in here like a shot when you saw it, just VERY sad its not going to fit a ph1.
Is it definately not possible Tom???
If its a lot of changes, what kind of changes? lol!
Bloody good buy that!!!
Is this the car that was out front when my mate came by to pick up those springs? I said look for a white clio, he said there was one at yours, but not a white one? lol!
That reminds me, must give away those springs as I never found fronts and ended up getting a whole set.
Looks bloody lovely Alex. Really liked the old wheels so wasn't sure when I saw you had turini's to go on, but I'm converted, suits it down to the ground!
I always think you under sell your car tbh, ever since you've got it you always mention the little niggles, which tbqh every second hand car...
Go to bed man!
Oh and PM returned :)
I'm quite sure there is three because the average french man (the type that buys a french hatch) is angry, so needs more than one, the average impatient french man (the type that buys a french hot hatch) is really angry, so needs as many as is posisble.
