Some current pics of my car, pretty happy with it at the minute, need to get a replacement for the std wheels after coming off 17"s, but with moving house and things they haven't made it yet, getting some of these though asap :

Very tidy mate!

 

[Gareth]

cheers

 

[benji&eka]

which exhaust is that??
tidy by the way

 

[seb]

looks cool.

the wheels will look smooth as silk when you get them!

 

[Gareth]

magnex cat back

 

[Middo]

wouldnt bother getting the turinis in all honesty. prefer the 172 ones on silver cars

 

[DjTimP]

:S look at the size of that exhaust!!!

 

[benji&eka]

not seen one with twin tails before (must get out more LOL)
nice

 

[Gareth]

it is a bit larger than I would like, but there wasn't as much choice back in the days when I bought it, no K-Tec Stealth etc, etc.

 

[Turkish]

How can you drive with all the rear headrests up that would piss me right off.

 

[Middo]

lol - i took mine out for ages, but the holes annoyed me even more

doesn't bother me that much, but each to their own.

 

[Nafoff]

looks really nice mate.....i think those wheels suit it...maybe in gun metal or anthracite

 

[Adam]

lovin it.......
exhaust is fit

 

[Christopher]

great looking car mate.

superb example.

 

[Norris_309]

Lookin Good mate
I actually like the standard 172 alloys on there
I'm sure turinis will look spot on too

 

[Ali]

Beaut Mate!!! Spot on!!!!

 

[Rick]

Very, very tidy. The standard wheels suit silver 172's best IMO. Is it lowered?

 

[Rich]

Like it how it is too, I'd be tempted to get a set of std rims refurbed in the graphite grey tbh.

 

[Gareth]

don't really like the std alloys / coloured or non-coloured, LOVE the Turinis, but want something different to the standard Silver, it is lowered with Eibach Pro Kit (15mm I was told at time of fitting, d-tweeks) Also want something a bit more 'open' to let the brakes breathe better :

 

[Ali]

ooo there nice, what are they?

 

[Paul C]

looks really clean mate! im not a big fan of the std mk2 wheels but they look really nice on your motor mate!

 

[wozzaa]

Might be a good idea to do the calipers so there silver again they look a bit tatty with all the muck on them and will let down the way the disks and wheels will look once fitted.

 

[Dave S2K]

Nice and clean! Like your 2nd pic, 3 years eh, i've just passed 2 and loving it!

 

[pecan]

Looks very tidy, apart from I hate seeing 172's with exhausts on show.

 

[Gareth]

the brakes are BB-Tuning Power Slot Discs F&R and Pagid Fast Road Pads F&R :

the calipers will be done before the wheels go on, thinking silver or yellow.

 

[Paul C]

i would go silver on the calipers mate.

 

[Gareth]

yeah probably will.

 

[dannyboy172]

Thats more than -15mm, surely?? say -40mm?

I got mine booked in for apex -40mm springs tomorrow

 

[Gareth]

it was 15mm dead on f&r when fitted ( more than 2 years ago now ), so they will have settled some more, but wouldn't have gone more than 20mm i would have thought.

 

[Hotshot]

yellow calipers! will offset everything so nicely
