alot of mixed (slated ) reviews ...... 1st day didn't go very well , i don't need to justify anything ............. it's mine and to the good reviewers
thanx . feels quicker than when it was original . money i feel in my own
eyes , well spent . only listed a few main mods . but obviously not for the
hard core modders . everyone to their own . but to get slated that bad
was uncalled for ???? the money did mount up to near enough 2 grand .
tinted windows most expensive . will keep plodding on ..........

Just because someone says they hate the car, that doesnt make it not a genuine reply. They might be out of order but its someone opinion, an opinion they are freely allowed to give.
But anyway I agree if you like it like that its up to you, but I wouldnt be seen in it.

A well built VW
If we all had the same taste then every cup would look the same , do what you want regardless of others opinions after all you see it the most and need to be happy
Remapped derv Golf
Not what the 172 Cup was meant for but like Fred says its your car do as you please. As long as your happy thats all that matters.
Welcome to Cliosport.net
I can't understand why they are called Lexus lights? My neighbours IS200 lights are a totally different design.

If it was standard and just had the stripes on and nothing else then i would think it was okay, but even without the stripes it would be better. everything else is just a waste
If you've spent near to £2,000 on tinting windows, stripes, an IK, lexus lights, exhaust, bee sting aerial, then i'm afraid to say that you've been short changed.
And there is no way in hell that you would be pushing 185bhp from an IK and exhaust. An IK may (key word MAY) give you 1-2bhp on a COLD day if that. exhaust again maybe between 2-5bhp, nowhere near the 13bhp you've claimed.
okay i know that its a slating but to say all these things about your car and pull a dozen tongue smilies seems rude to me. if you hadn't have done all the tongue smilies then i wouldnt have said anything, but it pissed me off frankly

172 Cup
I'm not going to slate it or be unessesarily rude either but by the same token I'm not going to lie.
I really don't like it and impo it looked much better before. Ultimately I guess it depends on what type of person or group in society you are trying to impress.
Either way it's your car and your money so welcome to CS.

Not a fan of the exterior mods tbh but fair play. Btw its very unlikely your car started with the 172 bhp like most on here (certain cars off the production line were better than others) and your list of modifications would not be able to attain the figure that you are stating. Folks on here have spent a few dollas to attain that figure and have the rolling road papers to prove it.

lol considering there is a good few 172/182s on here past 200bhp, some as high as 225bhp i wouldnt say they were to scared, or gelous!
Gotta love this welcoming forum...
If you like it mate then nobody elses opinion matters, I think the stripes are kinda cool and look good against the blue. Not a big fan of the rear lights or sunstrip though. The exhaust would look really cool if you cut out a section of the bumper and mounted it a few inches higher.
If you want to go for proper power then speak to a few guys on here, they can get you nearer that all important 200bhp mark.
BTW, how old are you?

MKIII 138
so 1200 in the country, 400 crashed, 300 wreked with daft mods. hmm.. i like it my cars becoming quite rare as people dont wanna buy wreked or chav`d up cars.
btw i havent looked at the images as i dont wanna upset myself.
2k on a cup could have gained a genuine 190-192bhp removing back seats and you have 190bhp pertonne , proper rapido.
edit* chris`n`nics cup did low 14`s 1/4mile on 185hp i think about 14.3 or 14.1 with another 10hp you could of had a cup (just) in the high 13`s low 14`s
C&N`s cup was 1/4miling easily beating scoobs and CTR`s with that power

Not being funny mate, but people on here are good at sensing BS power figures. Your not the first person to do those mods and a fully enclosed ik gains maybe 1-3bhp and a full cat back about the same on these engines. As the 172 begins with 169bhp in the first place (172ps) then you mnay now have about 175bhp max. The leads wont make any difference to power at all, but no doubt look better than standard.
When all is said and done, its your car, I dont really give a damn what you do it just be aware that you shouldnt always believe the ads claiming the power increases on what you've bought.
