I'm a true 172 lover. I genuinely think they are the best car for under £2,000. For any use!
However, a 200 is nicer to drive every day. Not to mention that the 172 looks proper old now.
We use a company called Phoenix alloys in Bristol.
They do ANYTHING from painted to diamond cut to split rim refurbs. I wouldn't go anywhere else tbh.
Never even heard of any of the ones mentioned in here.
I have a 2004 dci 65.
I hate it.
But it's so cheap to run it's comical. £30 a year tax, £190 a year insurance and £50 of diesel lasts me 6 weeks at nearly 60mpg. (58 point something)
I've changed the expensive 185/55/15 tyres for 195/50/15's too. So the tyres are now uber cheap.
It will...
Ideally, you should have painted the centre caps seperately as you'll now have an 'edge' where they sit. If you get a bit keen with a pressure washer you could undo your efforts!
Look good though mate. :-)
If you're looking at putting it In a carcoon and preserving it as an investment, put it back to standard.
If you just want to look after it, then leave it as it is and enjoy it.
(Why did you sell the vectra for £380??)
