Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

[Fletcher]

Was parked next to you at Chieveley before the convoy up on Saturday, me and my mate were admiring the car haha

Where abouts do you live? I saw your post about the Hindhead tunnel so i'm guessing it's local

Cheers.

I live in Chandler's Ford ( near Southampton)

Cadwell is amazing!

Have you ordered the passenger seat yet!?

Not yet :quiet:

Car needs some TLC, and new brake discs/ pads :dapprove:

Think I am going to purchase another set of 2118s and some sticker rubber not sure what colour to get though.

Should I get another set of anthracite, or some white or silver ones?

 

[tom172cup]

Black with 888s sounds good to me
