monaco before & after

[mattfarina]

I bought my Monaco blue 172 in November of 2008 and have been loving it!

Here's a pic of it shortly after I bought it

I've done a few things to it in the past few months and here's how it looks now

Mods carried out are:
*CS.net window sticker
*silvatec bulbs front & rear
*new size number plate
*ITG filter
*Yellow callipers
*PIAA white side lights to match the xenons
*Eibach sportline springs
*Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres on front
*Cupra R splitter
*Clear side repeaters

future plans are the RS tuner, matched inlets & possibly turinis

Comments are more than welcome

Very tidy!

It'd look much better with a Cup Splitter though... or a Ph2 Megane splitter for half the price.

My thoughts exactly.

Front plate looks fantastic, where did you get it from?

 

[m4rkie23]

is it legal?

 

[alex-avfc]

Dont think so

Thanks, its from fancyplates.com and the size is 520mm x 84mm if you're after one.

Not sure it's strictly legal however i've not been pulled for it yet *touches wood*

I'm in the RS tuner group buy (if it goes through) and probably matching inlets. I like the fact that you can't see the exhaust on the 172's so i think i might get a stealth if i upgrade.

I'm also going to get the alloys refurbed and get the dints pulled out of the bonnet and roof so all the panels are mint.
