Amazing little 172 - before and after

[David27]

So, last month my youngest lad and I bought this unmolested 31,000 mile (one owner) 172.

With a little bit of magic from Mick at Diamond Motors; some genius work from Snappy on the steering wheel; and a fresh set of Turini alloys - the car looks amazing. But what I can't get over is that the little car dives like new - it blows my mind how fantastic this 172 is!! Love this little car - keep the smiles coming..... A couple of before and afters....

I Still think an iceberg looks better on std wheels than turrini's.

Each to their own I guess, but in the flesh I think the Turinis give the car an edge…

Lovely condition that. Nice to see one not being turned into another “track” car.

Standard wheels definitely suit Iceberg more than the other colours, but turinis always look good IMO. Just needs some centre caps.
I’d never want to drive it at that mileage, no wonder it still drives like new.

Thanks - centre caps on the way . I cannot get over a 20 year old car with no creak, growns, clanks or any other 'old age' noises and she feels so planted to the road - untrue...

Loving this. I loved the iceberg I had. I hope it’s still got the recessed exhaust and the bumper isn’t cut?

Recessed exhaust - tick; no bumpers cut - tick; and apart from the wheels and steering wheel completely as she left the factory . Even has the little instamatic camera in an unopened box as provided by Renault in case of an accident...

personally id be getting some eibach sportline springs then just enjoy it, needs a little drop and they improve the handling and looks without ruining the ride.
