Finished, then time for a change (pic heavy)



  172 & RSi
Been a lot happening in the last few weeks in terms of me and my car(s). As most of you will know I had a 1.6 16v RSi, which I loved to pieces and had done quite a lot to. Well I picked up a new interior for it from good old ebay :) 172 exclusive styleee

Not content with that I decided to refurb my wheels on my day off as they were a bit of a mess, I thought I would do anthracite as I've been wanting them anthracite for ageeesss.

At this point I felt my car was pretty much finished, only needing a few bits and bobs here and there, so I hatched a master plan. My gf could sell her car (Saxo WestCoast), she could have mine so I don't have to sell it, and I would look for a 172. So the hunt began...

It had to be Monaco and had to be in good nick, whilst staying within my budget. After a while of looking I came across exactly what I was looking for.... It was at a garage not too far away, 1 lady owner from new, 48000 miles, totally standard and immaculate, came with 12 months MOT and a warranty from the garage.

So went and viewed it, test drove and I couldn't wait for it to be mine, arranged insurance and drove it away, I now officially own a RenaultSport :D

Slightly gutted about not having the RSi anymore but thats why I gave it to my gf, still get to see it and mess around with it, never want her to sell it though, if she ever does I'll buy it back :)

Got them home and swapped the wheels over, which I thought would be great, but since putting the OZ's on the 172 I don't know if I like them anymore, so they will be going up for sale/swap.

Pics of them both as they stand now...

Thanks for looking.
 
  172 & RSi
Should edit the post really, just taken it off the drive for the first time since fitting the wheels (not taxed and waiting for cover note from insurance) to have a proper look at them and I think I've completely changed my mind, the look just how I'd imagined and once it is lowered and has some other mods to tie it all together it should be awesome :D

Will upload the new pics later when I can be bothered lol

Have already ordered my own set of silvervisions and smoked side repeaters don't worry :) Got lots of plans for the new one.

I really love the look of the 172 wheels on the RSi so might get a second set so I can swap and change as I can't make my mind up about the wheels. 1 minute I love the, the next I hate them, time will tell I suppose

Might attend the RS meet, driven past when its been going on a few times so could actually get involved now lol.

Cheers for the comments
