First pics of my iceberg 172



  ex Clio 172 owner :(
Just picked her up yesterday, gave her a quick wash today and took some quick pics.

Car not polished or anything. Normally I spend longer but was working this morning and wanted to get out in the daylight, driving.

You'll have seen stacks of 172's like this but hey it's mine and I'm dead chuffed.

I'll update this thread with more pics tomorrow maybe.

As for plans for the car....

Probably Silvervisions front and rear, Cup splitter, possibly Cup rear spoiler, needs new tyres all round within a couple of months so I'll be getting probably 4x GSD3s or Exaltos, 3inch Powerflow cat back like I had on the VTS. Other than that, keeping it standard.

Had loads of good feedback about the car so far. When you're driving it, you really do feel a bit special. Turns loads of heads and you see people staring when at traffic lights etc.

I've been given some Diamond Brite, in two bottles? Stage 1 and Stage 2? Anyone tried this? Worth the effort?

Comments welcome good and bad (bad on a car like this?!)

(dunno why that second pic is small - supposedly same resolution as others)

Cheers for comments.

Nah, Bubbles, I'm a sentimental type of dude. I like my name even if it's a mouthful to say out loud.

Cheers guys.

Rich, nah it was parked up down the sea front.

Traded the VTS against it. Didn't get quite what I wanted but enough.

Let me just say, the 172 is a fantastic car. So comfy and refined. Happy to pootle along at 30 or accelarting hard. So many creature comforts and gadgets and turns loads of heads. You really do feel a bit special.

Quality car.
 
H&R coilovers. Single best mod i made to my 172 when i had it, even nicer than the semi inducing 63.5 supersprint race system i had on it.

Ah, had a feeling that's what ye meant but I'm not much of a mechanical dude and wasn't certain.

Nah, it'll not be getting lowered or anything like that. My driveway is funny and reversing on, with front wheels still on road and rear on drive, the clearance to the pavement is minimal as it is.

Only mods I'll be doing if any will be ones I mentioned in the original post.

Cheers for input.
