That is clean but my god are they ghastly. Lots of stick on tat IMO. The skirts make it look like it has swollen lymph nodes like the bloke on Van Wilder.
How much do you charge PB and where are you based?
Apparently the Accord Type R seats are the same design as those in the Trophy. They can be picked up for peanuts in comparison.

Would the subframes simply unbolt allowing fitment...
I filled with fibreglass then a skim of P38. I then masked and sprayed the entire recess to ensure good coverage. The overall colour match isn't brilliant but it isn't noticeable due to the recess.
You don't 'need' to drop the subframe but it would make life much easier.
You have to contort and twist under the car to get the sockets onto the sprung bolts. It is also a 2 man job as someone will need to hold the bolt heads from the engine side of the car.
I would say to set aside 2-2 1/2...
IMO a decat isn't an option on a 172 as it is such a nightmare to change come MOT time. It really is the most awkward, hateful job in the world.
I'd hunt around for a cheap sports cat' then you don't have to worry about your MOT.
My Janspeed 200 cell cat' was £50 ;)
He was happy to pay £5100 for the car as it stood. No aspect of the car has changed import or not so £5100 is still fair.
Take it down to a nice and easy £5k or tell him to jog on.
Get yourself a Trophy/V6 spoiler. They're not as common as the Cup spoiler and they also use the original brake light.
There's one on the 'bay at the mo'.
Cracking guys, something to go on there. I've got my eye a cheap coil on Ebay so will give that a crack along with the inspection of the coils for cracks. I'll give Mike a call as well tomorrow.
Strange how I get more answers to the question on a Clio forum than I do on 2 Alfa forums.
Out...
It certainly is mate, or a V6 item depending on your inclination. Hence the Silver 1.2 Trophy bit just to throw people off of the scent.
I don't think the car has ever been clayed before. It wouldn't take anywhere near as long next time around. There appeared to be metal filings on the...
My girlfriends Alfa has always had a nagging little misfire at very low rev's. I have replaced all 8 spark plugs and cleaned the coil terminals which initially cured the problem but it has since returned.
I have now come to the conclusion that a coil is breaking down. Is there any way of...
Exactly the same mate other than the lock surround. The phase 1 has a small surround incorporating the lock. The phase 2 has a larger surround with a Renault diamond push button instead of the lock.
