From rat to showroom

[Siidd]

Ok so I posted a while ago when I first brought my 172 had some crazy ideas and was advised by just about every one to leave it alone but I went ahead and done it any way and this is what happens

i know it looks very s**t then the other day I looked at it and thought what the fcuk have I done so the restoration started today got rid of all the stickers and the bonnet wrap and gave it a good polish with some paint restorer and this is we're I am now ( a big improvement I know )

i know the alloys are dirty I started raining

[Siidd]

[keechy]

R26r? LOL. A massive improvement though.

 

[LiamR172]

What sort of dick puts R26R stickers on a 172.

 

[JezzaMac]

At least you have realised! Looks much better now Clear side repeaters and silvervisions lol

 

[Siidd]

New bumpers and door trim next and as for the r26r I gave me at lest 5 mor bhp lol

 

[Saner]

What sort of dick puts R26R stickers on a 172.

That's a bit harsh calling him a dick!

Looks soo much better now

 

[Siidd]

Dick may be a bit harsh but a stupid idea none the less you dick

 

[Knuckles]

ahahahahahaha! glad you saw the error of your ways

but wtf where you thinking? that couldnt have been further from rat if you tried

 

[Siidd]

I honestly wish I know what was in my head but as said thank f**k I woke up lol

 

[Matt W]

You must have been extremely drunk.

 

[Siidd]

I like that excuse I might use it

 

[b1lly]

[chriscummins7]

LOL!!

It looked hilarious with the 'rat' stuff and R26R stickers. One of them cars that I would genuinely laugh at driving by.

Looks much better now mate, got yourself a lovely looking motor!

 

[pastieman]

Kids this is what crack does to you

Glad you kicked the habit and sorted yourself out

 

[LiamR172]

Sorry if that was a bit harsh, but i really dont get it. fair enough if it was ''Renault Sport'', or ''172'' but R26R has nothing to do with a clio haha.

Anyways, looks far better now, gget your grill sorted and leave it at that!

 

[Gally]

We won't speak about the abortion it was before. Well done.

 

[andywa]

Looks miles better mate. Any plans for it?

 

[PP200t]

Looks really good mate, good that you realised. However it is your car and your opinion about how it was before is all that really matters.

 

[Siidd]

Yer thought I might get the bonnet wrapped lol no not a the moment mate maybe some new bumpers and colour coded door trim will have to wait tho got cam and aux belt change on Tuesday £££££

 

[Siidd]

Even I thought it looked s**t mate man enough to admit my mistake tho lol

 

[Djw Dave]

If i ever meet you, ill buy you a pint for seeing the error and bringing it back to its former glory.

Congrats dude.

 

[Siidd]

I will take you up on that beer just finished detailing it so what you think

 

[Tunst]

needs some F1's

 

[Matt W]

Some new numberplates and that will be mint!

Also tyreshine.

 

[Siidd]

I like the bbs alloys my self nice contrast against the green just my opinion

 

[Siidd]

Number plates are a bit pants trip to halfords for some new ones

 

[Siidd]
