This is my 1.2 16v to be used as a stop gap between my recently sold R53 Cooper S while I build up a bit of no claims for a 182.
It's had a few things done, tinted windows, 172 wheels, and RS interior. This is what it looked like when I bought it 😂
Rim protectors promptly removed and after a detail it currently looks like this. Yellow brake drums have also been replaced and painted matt black.
My plans for mods are only things that can be transferred to an RS or are cheap, so spacers, lows, colour coding and I might make an exhaust to make it sound less like an LDV van. Tints are only staying on for security reasons, I guess they look alright too. I might fit a 172 rear bumper if I find one cheap too, painting only costs my time :smile:
What tyres do people recommend for the 172 fitment? What's on there at the moment offer no grip whatsoever. I was looking at Toyo T1rs...
