managed to get the splitter on today. Was a pretty straight forward job. Hardest part was probably trimming the edges at the right angle so I just used electrical tape to get a visual of if and got a thin circular blade to cut off the overhang. the second pic gives you an idea of how much bigger...

few photos after cleaned inside. one photo before the splitter is fitted will post another after ita fitted and one before I put some cooksports on

update: new plates on, French flag grill stickers (I made these, can make more) and have bought a Fabia splitter but I'm yet to fit that.

did the camera take your avatar picture by any chance? :P just kidding

cheers mate, an old fella had it before me, is in mint condition to be fair. When inwent to look at it the guy told me it was mint so I thought yeah yeah, here we go. When I got there and saw it was like showroom spec. well happy with it :) i like the original alloys. Must admit I'm tempted to...

have now got the plates on and have ordered me a fabia splitter. will add some photos when ive got it fitted. I'm on the prowl for some cooksport springs and have posted over on the wanted section. if you have any or know of anyone selling let me know. sportlines would be ok aswell as long as...

cheers for the reply's. what's the reason for changing back to OEM topmounts with standard shocks? and why wouldn't you run aftermarket springs with non cup shocks? if it hasn't got cup shocks on I will be changing to them but just curious.

looking to get me some cooksport springs for the 172 (non cup) my questions are; the previous owner has had ktec topmounts fitted which leads me to believe he may of changed the shocks to cup shocks. However he may not have so how do I tell the difference between standard and cup shocks? also...

cheers. is there any difference in ride height between cup and non cup shocks? I only ask as the guy I bought it off has put ktec topmounts on so I'm not sure if its standard shocks or cup.

are these ok to run with non cup 172 shocks?

will jump in here save starting a new thread. how come opie don't stock elf oils? was trying to keep it to elf as that's what's always been used in it.

can do nath, just need to make sure I'm a definite first as work is getting busy. 99% I'm there though.

Got it off already. Had to snap the chrome surround to get the plates out then unscrew the backing plate off. 3/4 plates on now :)

lol boomer, I was thinking the same thing

I'm there. :yes:

ugh!

ok. Keep me posted.

yeah was going to say I will go if anyone wants to meet me there for a look around?

looks good. I will prob be signing up.

found the website a bit confusing (mobile version) so is it £25 a year, 7 meetings to take your car round the track and then the proper sprint events you can enter if you feel like it? sounds quality if I've read it right.

how havn't I heard of this place? Steve, pm me some info :)

also true :) if you don't trust the guys doing it I would go to one of the specialists on here for a job like this.

great night, thanks for making me feel welcome all. took a detour on the way home for a late night spin :p

I will be there on time. Just got back home

ok mate. I will be there, just a matter of what time. Don't wait for me for food, ill get something on the way.

mines going to have to change to a maybe there now. Courier driver has just dropped a pallet while loading. Could take some time :@ what time you staying till?

I wasn't fussed anyway, you should see my local :) just put the 3/4 plate on and got rid of the chav surround. Looks so much better.

3/4 plate just arrived so will have one on now :smile: ive been told this pub is a pint and a gum shield hahahahha well you can see me in my avatar so if you see me wondering around aimlessly, help me!

ok, I will try and get there before 7.30 anyway. Will be in a black 172 with no plate on the front :p

how will I know who anyone is? Knowing me I will go and sit with a family party and start talking cars
