[Dink]

top work

 

[patty]

nice, will look class wen lowered!

 

[hydeyho]

Cheers for the comments guys.
I want to lower it 60mm but Im a bit worried about ripping the front splitter off as it is pretty low to the ground already. I need to get the exhaust mounts changed too so it sits a little bit closer to the bumper.

 

[SeanM86]

looks mint now, drop her 60mm and itd be perfect. Hate silver colourcoded bumpers/strips on blue cars so well improved.

i have the same reno splitter and mines is lowered 30mm , yesterday my wife (soon to be ex if she carries on) clipped a kerb and ripped one side off all fixed now but very wary now

I remember the car in its first guise much much better now needs some front fogs to tidy up the front bumper and lowered but its really nice , makes me think i want a 172 bumper even more now , we seem to be going down the same route



[Edited by The Big Yin on 26 May 2005 at 11:45pm as he noticed you didnt do the door handles when you had the other bits sprayed]

 

[Djw John]

Ouch Shaun, harsh but fair I say!

 

[hydeyho]

I didnt do the door handles as I wanted to keep a bit of a contrast (as I already have the blue and black theme throughout), plus, I would have to get some pre-primed ones from Renault as mine would chip to f**k from opening the door.

Cant afford to as all my $$$ has been spent on the car over the last couple of weeks

 

[subz]

nice mate, looking much better than when I came up to get the sounds, I take it the MOT went okay in the end?

 

[Clart]

looks 100% better. Not sure about the stickers on the skirts though

 

[hydeyho]

Yea ta mate, just needed 2 new tyres and a new clamp got the emmisions low enough. The MOT altogether cost 200, the work done at the bodyshop was 350, and my car tax is due soon, its gonna be an expensive month

lol, im suprised its taken this long for a comment about them. I know thye wont be to everyones taste but I do like them there.

 

[Clarkie172]

miles better!

 

[Weebl]

Car looks stunning hydeyho!
I was going for phase 2 rear lights but you might have just swayed me into getting a set of those ktec jobbies.
Silly quesion i know but its hard to tel in the light... what colour is that blue? (if its the same as mine il definantly be getting those clusters but mine (monaco blue I think) looks like a lighter shade than that so im not sure if itll look as good

 

[JoelDee]

Looks f**kin mint!

 

[JayR]

Looks cool mate as i said on the other forum you posted on!!!

Needs dropping 60mm and then it will look class imo!!!

 

[Mr172Mk1]

Looks sweet mate! although the exhaust is a bit dominent imo but big

 

[hydeyho]

Weebl - Im not sure what the colour is called, but the code is 460, its a bluey purple colour

 

[Weebl]

Thanks... not the same as mine but Im still very tempted with those lights

 

[Alex_225]

The original look was certainly unique lol but I have to say the makeover does make it look quality!!
