About time i did a bit of show and tell

[phill172]

Well, after months and months and months of saving up finally got my 172 at the begenning of this year, after all my insurance was paid off i can finally have some fun with it..... so far the list is
Stealth Cat Back System
Green Induction Kit
Lowered 40mm on apexi springs
OMP Braces
Uprated discs and mintex pads
Frenchie plates
and sorted it out to have a gleaming engine bay.

Hopefully on the cards is a new splitter..debating on the megane ones, cup spoiler, decat, matched inlets and a chip....but this is all in years to come as this isnt being replaced by anything! Let me know what you guys think!

What happens when a cop asks about your plates? I have thought about it on mine...

Eeet woz on zee car wen I bort eeet. Hee haw hee haw hee haw.:rasp:

:lolup:

 

[caeteez]

Very nice. How much did the Apexi springs set you back?

 

[B16DOE]

how low is yours

 

[Ali]

Apex even!

looks ok. Like french plates, just not those ones.

 

[Dan@SJM]

love the plates!

thanks for the comments! i picked up the springs second hand from....cant remember her name, but she does lots of track days, lives near to brooklands! wierdly enough, my local town is a hot spot for traffic police and havent had one problem yet......touch wood, end of the day i have a vw beetle with 'non complaiant' plates on too, been pulled lots of times for that as its loud and low and its the one thing thats never been mentioned! hoping to get to my first big cliosport meet, at the grasshopper inn!

sounds like Maz to me!

any pics of the engine bay mate?

I know its been said a thousand times but thats because its such an obvious issue - get some silvervision bulbs for the indicators mate - will make the front of the car look much cleaner,

ALso Im not keen on the bonnet sticker - you should try and get a more subtle / rarer sticker - again I know its a simple thing but in my eyes shows the difference between someone that knows about their car and the tuning companies that know their s**t - e.g If someone has an LAD sticker on their car they havent got a clue!!

Oh and you will have to be careful parking there once you have your splitter fitted !!

My front plate caught a stone so I may try black/silver plates (my car is black) and see what happens. I have seen others like it around, mostly really nice mercs. Thanks for the info
