172 Reindeer's are here at last!

[Tigger]

Finally got my "dream car" if you like to call it that :approve:

First official pics last night when I picked it up, a bit shaky as it was bloody freezing & I was excited lol

Have some other pics too from about 2 weeks ago when the car arrived over from Luton, need to load them up

[Tigger]

Thanks all for the comments
Yes I'm gradualy getting used to it. Accelerating in 1st is giving some strange but "common" noises.
Quite different to drive compared to the previous dci 82 Clio. Love it!

I'm a cautious driver at the best of times but being extra careful in the winter pays off. A relative had a nasty bang in the fog on the same night I lifted my car Thank God he's ok

nice one chap! That the old man fillin it wi fuel??

:lolup: lol no! That was the seller topping me up before going home with it

The car is mint inside & out and had no signs of being thrashed before it got a full check in the dealers over here.
It came from Norton Way Honda via my local Citroen dealer lol

Just a few little things I added to my stocking so far

I'm on the maxogen GroupBuy and I already have;
Polished K-Tec Strut Brace (from Adamio)
Carbon Fibre - Clio battery cover (from matt_trev) & fusebox cover
Standard 172 alloys (to get refurbed in anthracite)
Meggy footrest (craftwork of Turner172)
Honda CTR aerial

[kpowell911]

i take it your install is coming from your old car into this?

 

[Tigger]

i take it your install is coming from your old car into this?

OH YES! With some minor little cosmetic changes & properly wired for competing.

To me the standard audio is the only let-down with these little cars, I can't get over how much I like this car compared to most other cars I looked at buying. So when the install makes a return, all will be dandy indeed

 

[Tigger]

Can anyone reccomend a good replacement bulb for the full beam?

 

[Tigger]

Needs a wash soon
