3 years have flown by...

Well, she's 3 years old next week; 28k miles, oil changed every 6k, never missed a beat.

Gonna treat her to a wheel refurb and some new rubber before her first MOT... Wicked Wheels have quoted £50+VAT per corner (or £65+VAT for powder coating). They've also mentioned I could have them recoloured.

Anyone has a refurb and changed colour? I have a black Mk2 172 with original 16" alloys.

Should I go anthracite..? Black..? Williams gold..?!

What's the current trend..? Photos appreciated.

Cheers

Mine'll be 3 yrs old next month..... brings a tear...

 

[Batesyboy]

Yeah know the feeling.

Kept mine standard (apart from air filter) and not had any real problems. Tates Renault have been great honouring the warranty seeing as it was a JFTC import.

Time to consider an exhaust (nothing hooligan-like, I'm 35 now!) and maybe different suspension just to keep me interested... I've no real reason to change the car - it's all paid for and ticks all the boxes. Nothing I'd change it for this side of £25k to be honest.

Definitetly gonna do the wheels and get all my stonechips done. Had minor incidents with a pillar in a shopping centre and an over eager cyclist, both resulting in scratched bumpers but Chips Away can sort that too.

She's gonna look like new again.

I think you should get your alloys done in gunmetal.

Still waiting for pics of examples..!
