Having come from a 172 cup, to a Fiesta ST and then back again, I couldn't agree more. At first I hated the step down again but it has become easier over time lol. Car looks great mate and those roads look fantastic.

Loving the car mate, just been browsing through your whole project thread! In response to your last comment, it seems a bit of shame to sell such a nice example with all the time and money you've spent on it...

Some more updates. A lot of £'s have been spent recently, but slowly the car is coming together. A quick list of what i've done in the past month: Ordered some new Cup badges for the doors and rear. Also got some fresh Turini centre caps. New standard splitter also purchased and fitted. Looks...

I'd just sell it as it is for someone else to sort. Even though i'd happily pay around 2.5 - 3k if it was repaired, i'd still be put off by how it my effect me selling it on in the future.

Thought it might be appropriate to upload some of these. Spotted at Ace Cafe's Incarnation in Brighton the other day. Everyone loves a bit of ford content. So much want: This one got a lot of attention. No idea why. It's pretty subtle...

172 Cup, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

So since last posting I sourced a new front bumper complete with fog surrounds, fog lights and the lower grill from a Monaco blue 172, all for £70!. Got it sprayed and now it's back on the car. In the meantime I also had a go at refurbishing the wheels to varying degrees of success and now I've...

Yeah I felt sorry for the badger as well. I went back to see what was what. It was dead so it didn't suffer for long...

Thanks mate. There really was nothing I could do. It was dark and on a dual carriageway so the impact happened at 70 mph.

So I haven't updated this in a while and it seems like a lot has happened since. I'm not one to take pictures every couple of minutes so I've only got a few... Had the bumper fully resprayed and fitted a new KTEC carbon splitter as I couldn't find any OEM ones other than the Skoda splitter which...

You are right! I never even noticed that haha. Thanks mate.

Oh and today I fitted my own induction kit rather than pay for K-tec one which seems like quite a popular alternative after a couple of other users suggested I make my own and linked me to here. Only have rubbish phone pictures at the moment, apologies.

So the cup above turned out to be a disaster. Engine needed replacing and the garage I purchased from was less than helpful so after a lot of phone calls I finally managed to get my money back. I went and purchased another cup back from a friend who I sold it too only November last year. It...

LOL @gally I know my tyres are terrible. Went and got a quote today from a bodyshop i've used before, told me it would be about £370 and that was including fixing a few other parts including a scuff on the bumper and front wing. Everyone on here was right though. They confirmed it has been...

You are all scaring me right now! haha. I'll go get it looked at tomorrow and see whats what.

Ok guys i'll get it looked at. Cheers

Basically looks like the paints bubbled and then chipped away. Not sure what else can be done about something like this apart from an entire respray on that section / panel?

Hahaha. @Bear Head that's brilliant! Nice car btw.

Not bad. Would look better with Turinis though.

Agreed. There just isn't the right one about at the moment and i'm without a car :down:.

I've Been considering looking at this car after the last 172 Cup I purchased turned out to be a dog. This one seems good and it's quite close to me but what is up with its suspension!? Is it just me or does it look like it has been raised up by two or three inches. The arch gap seems a little...

Thanks mate. I'll let you know when I sell them.

Hello everyone, I've made another thread before about my previous 172 Cup which I sold in 2013. Got the new ST, change of circumstances in work and new priorities ( house deposit ) meant that it wasn't worth it anymore. I've since purchased another Cup however already had some issues. 3...

Certainly looks like my old cup. Miss it a lot

They are 17's, same size as the standard wheels. I suddenly feel very insecure about my brakes haha

Agreed. But they still stop me ok :p Yeah nothings changed other than the wheels. I doubt i'll bother lowering it tbh.

Decided to get myself some team dynamics pro race 1.2's, really happy with them. N0ddie's st may have inspired me a little... :P edited_one by C Gower, on Flickr epic shot 3 by C Gower, on Flickr epic shot 2 by C Gower, on Flickr Excuse HDR. Love it too much.

Looks great on them mate.

Glad you are enjoying it mate. Great cars aren't they. Not sure mate but as Matthew said, another guy on here had them and they looked awesome.
