before and after..should i do it!

Looks spookily like an arctic blue 182 in the after pics..

Looks OK, but I like the Cups as they are, the wheels are so nice! Lowered would be good though.

i must admit..the 172 turinis have a habit of looking smaller than the 182 wheels..plus i love the anthracite colour, tom where bouts u from? and what tyres/condition are your wheels?

Dont tint the windows - IMO it takes away the "performance" look of the car and swaps it for the "11pm Friday night High Street show-off" look.

Id consider lowering the car, but not the wheels either. A strong part of the identity of a 172 Cup is the Turini wheels IMO.

Im with you on this Ben i love the anthracite 182 wheels but think you should stick with the Turini wheels on the 172 cup. i think you should leave the tinting too IMHO

I got my turinis done anthracite and never looked back. well better than silver.

Looks good on the pic there you should get a carbon splitter on it too. Look great with the lowering. The tints is a grey area (groan) Does look good but will it make the car a max muppet mobile? Someone in work said to me the other day that a modified car meeting was going down at the motorworld shop in Buckley. Does my head in people having me down as a boy racer.

why the after pic? Just get a picture od a Blue 182, and shop in the badges. The after pic does look good, but mainly because the rims are scaled more like 17" on 40 profile boots.
