2 weeks of ownership.......

[CountryBumpkin.]

I thought it was about time I posted some pics of the ph1. I bought it on the 21 August from Yellowbelly, after I managed to sell my 182. I have to say, I much prefer it over the 182. I also love the plate .

I must admit, they aren't my best pics :dapprove:. I'll get some decent ones @ Trax.

Post Trax detail.

Then last night, I thought i'd attempt getting some pics under lighting. Most of them were poor or blurry :dapprove:

There isn't really much I want doing to it, as it's already had a fair bit done to it.

Ph2 172 bumper
ph2 172 tailgate
re-trimmed steering wheel.

Ph1>All.



Ph2 sport bumper would look good on it man. & Not a fan of the 3/4 plate up front, looks silly as the slot for a plate has gaps.

Awesome though. Looks tidy.

Cheers mate, I just wanted somewhere with decent lighting. This was on the way home, so I thought why not.

thanks for the advice, i'll be sure to use my tripod next time. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing.

[Bluebeard]

[Will.]

Can we have some pics of the fit bird to? Or at least an address or number

 

[Ash87]

[CountryBumpkin.]

yeah mate, other plans now.

 

[Rob]

Looks really good, but you've made me sad. I really want silver f1's now, and Budgie's have sold, what a t**t!

Full width plate and you're onto a winner

I've got a second set sat out in the back garden

 

[Rob]

Talk to me...

Condition? Tyres?

Get a full width plate, pwease.

 

[Brett]

It looks great. Any reasons why you prefare it over the 182?

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

It feels much more raw. It's just a much more exciting ride over the 182.

 

[yellowbelly]

It sure is Dan, always hated driving my Mrs' 182 after driving that - look after it, oh and i still havent found a replacement :S

 

[yellowbelly]

[Bramley]

Not a fan of the plate but looks a nice car.

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

quick update

Thanks to 172Ben for helping me to spend my money. I bought his ph2 tailgate and rear bumper. Thanks to Lemonnobby who spent his own time in the dark to fit them

Not liking the rear wiper, so i'll have to get that adjusted.

 

[Will.]

Urgh. Do not want to be seen near that........


...Only joking, I love it.

 

[danzman1991]

Top 3 adv & disadv of the Ph1 172 over the 182?

I'm torn between which shape to buy! Swaying more towards the phase 1 at the moment though.. You car looks ace =)

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Ph1.5 :dapprove: Robbos will be nursing a semi, somewhere in France right now, with no idea why....!


Ph1 >>> 182.

Cheaper, better looking - looks further away from the 1.2's than the ph2 (IMO), more 'raw', cable throttle, cheaper tyres, .....

danzman - Where abouts in Kent are you ?

He was moist when i text him after i picked it up. A ph1.5 meet is being sorted aswell :rasp:

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Ph1.5s just dont do it for me at all. You're all baaaaad people. Speaking of bad people, I think the cross-dresser is back from France on Sunday. I'd better move house quickly so he can't pop past on the way home insisting we fix things that have fallen off á la autoroute...!

 

[Will.]

Send him my way. I'l happily see his face. He owes me a MMS

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Only as long as you tie him up and keep him there !

Where is this ph1.5 meet happening ?!

 

[Will.]

Can I tie him up with a chain and keep him as a pet?

I think I may invade this 1.5 meet....

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

its a ph1.5 meet . You aren't invited ph1 hater!

 

[Will.]

But I like ph 1.5 I never said I hated them anyway. I just didn't want one yet

 

[subarufreak]

looks nice

do you need to make modifications for the bumper? or is there any need 4 extra parts?
