172 Cup Update

[Chris Mac]

update over xmas

SQD painted the wheels a darker anthricite with a lovely glossy finish, while i painted the wheel renault diamonds and front diamond yellow.

side bullets are now finished and on the car

Also, seeing it was christmas, i bought little Cup a present, hopefully arrive on Tuesday/Wednesday

Next up is MOT, then some kind of brake upgrade

 

[Tigger]

Very nice Chris, haven't seen this car in a while now - keep it mint

 

[sean_d]

Very nice

 

[RichCup]

Wheels look spot on!

Not sure on the 182 style exhaust tho...

 

[Gary-Lew]

What a bueaty,looks so clean fair play mate!, i would have gone stealth or prospeed single though as regaards exhaust, not a fan of the 182 look exhuast from k-tec.

 

[Tupps]

Too much black and yellow imo, bit of an overkill

 

[Chris Mac]

suppose everyone cant like it

i love it personally

 

[Tupps]

I appreciate the work mate, it's a tidy motor

Personally i'd just do 2 colours though - Black on blue with maybe yellow calipers... black badges with blue writing or something

Maybe i should shut my mouth and do it to mine?

 

[Bjorn]

Love the wheel colour, but the yellow makes it look a bit fussy.

Get them done in blue and it'd look spot on.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Looks tidy!

 

[Tigger]

For the record, I like the Yellow & Black touches
Do the rear diamond in Yellow too, and maybe the badges in Black if you're daring

 

[BREMBO]

Very nice, love the cups would look perfect on coilovers!

Not a fan of the 182 style exhaust though

 

[Eckascliovalver]

Exactly why im changing my cup up to common now mate but still looks good!

I clicked on the the thread title and i actually thought it was my car!

 

[B16DOE]

[D4N13L]

same here mate

looks tidy all the same

 

[Leeshez]

Brilliant

 

[type_rdriver]

Very very similiar too mine!!!!!!!

Good job mine is changing slightly soon lol.

 

[Bazzon]

Nice car but dont ruin the cup with a 182 style exhaust :< its a 172 cup!

Get a single slash cut

 

[Mr J Cake]

Looks fab. i agree dont ruin the back end and put exhausts out da bumper. Keep it stealthy. with a small amount of cash i reckon you could slightly mod the exhaust tips so they stay behind the bumper and point down slightly so it dont melt anythin or carbon up your back end.

And judging by the look of that exhaust u might end up gettin two lovely big black carbon depostits and slight burning above for sure and maybe around them because of there size and shape.

But just my opinion.

Each very much to their own it'll still look mean.


PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Englebert]

I think it looks pretty good but am not conviced its any better than stock. I think darker wheels make them look smaller, so a decking is needed!

 

[Eckascliovalver]

Very very similiar too mine!!!!!!!

Funny that i thought the same when you done yours :rasp:

 

[type_rdriver]

[Mawv]

[Tucker]

The exhaust is a big no no though.

it's a cup!

 

[Eckascliovalver]

Lol

Doing my wheels matt black mate:rasp:

Stealth ftw

 

[type_rdriver]

Stealth ftw

Track ****:evil:

 

[Ian_182]

My god.

Thats lovely

 

[wiley]

love it

wiley

 

[leeds_182]

I like it but would prefer the wheels in anthracite.

 

[pete_clio]

And judging by the look of that exhaust u might end up gettin two lovely big black carbon depostits and slight burning above for sure and maybe around them because of there size and shape.

I've got the ktec recessed system, looks fairly similar in the tailpipe way, no black marks for me!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

decking FTFW

 

[Chris Mac]

Fitted it last night, absolutely love it

And fitted my 5mm rear wheel spacers

[Guppy]

Looks like an Arctic 182 now

Wheels look awesome tbh!!

 

[Greeny.]

Nice mate

I dont think ill be doing my wheel diamonds yellow now though, why does everyone seem to be going yellow all of a sudden

 

[Tigger]

Very nice Chris, looks & sounds well

 

[Eckascliovalver]

Nice mate

I dont think ill be doing my wheel diamonds yellow now though, why does everyone seem to be going yellow all of a sudden

Tell me about it, i done mine about 9 months ago iirc now every second 172 on here has yellow detail.

 

[Englebert]

Not a fan, and a 172 Cup is a limited edition, so think fitting a 182 exhaust is very wrong!

 

[Chris Mac]

each to their own i suppose

 

[scott1205]

luv the wheels mate very smart car
