Iceburg + Turinis + TLC = Happy Days

[JR]

As a few of you know i sold my Ph 1 172 at the back end of february and i was unsure what to replace it with.

I found a Ph 2 172 in Iceburg Silver.

So together with Burp we traveled to hampshire to see it and i purchased it on the very same day.

Now the car was not up to my standard, which is the reason why i have not posted pics etc to date.

But today i had time to clean it and fit some new wheels.

To date the car has had a major service by renault, new disc's and pads and the front with new pads on the rear. The brakes have been bled too.

The steering wheel has been replaced, as have the rear head rest's, and the 2.0 16v badges have been colour codded. Oh and a new Rs Grill too.

I might have missed a few things of the list though.

So here are some pics, the car still needs a machine polish which i have not yet got round to doing but here goes.

On borrowed wheels

The new wheels

After a clean

There is plenty more to do but that will have to wait or another thread

Thanks captain

 

[Schweppy]

It looks awesome and cant wait to see it in the flesh with the new wheels!

But...for gods sake Justin, at least wait all this time and use a REAL camera. You could have borrowed mine!

 

[Christopher]

Cup splitter ahoy!

 

[AlexS]

Very nice example and looks great on the turinis, lol @ the secrecy though!

 

[the_prophet]

looks much better, think i might have spotted you on the old wheels on the ring road about 1-2 weeks ago.

nice and clean though.

[Jay Payne]

At last, the big reveal! Lol......


As said earlier, needs to loose some of the distance to the ground and a splitter. No silvervisions yet either?

 

[Greeny.]

looks nice, cant go wrong with that combo, very safe.

They look like 182 headlights? Light grey to me, might just be the pics though?

 

[leeds_182]

Thats some serious tyre blackage.

 

[Bluebeard]

Not like.

Prefer the old one.

 

[Ash87]

looks ace, i like the bullets cc'd.

 

[Coby.]

Looks very tidy mate.... Turini's are always a good choice

 

[rob192]

Had the drivers door sprayed at some point? Looks a bit off, might just be my monitor I guess.

[JR]

yeh they are light grey, it was one of the very last 172's before they changed to the 182's

 

[beatjunkie]

Very nice, hasnt it got a 182 wheel too?or is it just cos its a late spec one?

Ryan

 

[JR]

Its got cruise control and a speed limiter as it is one of the last 172's, so yeh the wheel is the same as fitted to the 182's

[Ads_172]

Looks good mate, I'm a ph1 man all the way but it's a reasonable replacement.

Couple of choice changes and it'll look slick.
