Flame Red 172 - clean pictures!

[markhinton]

Gave her it's first proper clean today, quick wash and a polish using AG Super Resin. Didn't bother with the interior or the engine bay, but it isn't too dirty yet!

Pictures aren't great, it was too cold to mess about with settings so I just stuck it on aperature priority with flash on some of them:

Everything's standard atm, apart from the front indicator lights which I changed the bluey petrol coloured ones, and silvertecs on the rear indicators. Some white LED front side lights are on their way which should neaten up the front a bit more, too.

That's looking lush with you. I love flame red. Scrubs up very well. Wish mine was that clean. Good job!

Nice example you have there. Are those weights on your rims though?

You've not had the motor long I take it?

They are weights I'm chopping them in for some Turini's when I can though!

Not long at all, picked her up from Renault on Friday evening!

You found it at a dealership? Good spot. What did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Turini's in silver on a Flamer is something that I don't recall seeing on here... do it!

Too much I think £5,200 near enough. They had it up for £5,995 and I got some new tyres, pads, full valet, a tank of fuel and the cambelt changed for that. As well as a years warranty of course.

I know you can get them for a lot less but I was happy with this one, plus it's only had one owner and it has 32k on the clock

Gorgeous finish on that

Just gorgeous that!! Looks good standard tbh

If you opt for turinis let me know about your current wheels, im after some for my 1.2

Nice paint you've got there. I wish mine's paint work is in yours condition. I got some dents from the front bumper few weeks ago. I think it was from somebody's tow kit. But lucky it was just a little dent. The paint is still good.

Cheers

Alex I'll let you know, my friends looking to do the same with him 1.2 but if he doesn't go for them, I'll pop them on here and give you a PM!

Got to love flame reds tbh, i love mine

 

[hopey-182]

stunning.

 

[markhinton]

Thanks! since the picture I've changed the tax disk holder from a dealership whoring one to a red one which matches the colour of the bodywork perfectly! I've also changed the front sidelights to some white LED's, and the main beams to some bulbs which are a bit 'bluer' - sounds chav-tastic, but it really isn't! Just freshens up the front imo

 

[ijaen]

Mint!
Now I wanna give my engine bay a good scrub....

 

[cliolou]

love it marky makes me want mine even more now lol

 

[Ian_182]
