Monaco Blue 172's...

Hi Everyone.

Since there's a fairly large possibility that my Cup is going to get written off I'm looking at FF 172's as I still don't like the twin exhausts on the 182's and it does seem silly to mess about putting a 172 rear bumper on with a steal box.

I've seen a few relatively cheap, very low mileage Monaco Blue 172's for sale.

Can these be made to look great??? All the ones I've seen are bog standard so I'd be very keen to see some nice examples that have been lowered (prefferably on Turini's) with say a Cup splitter.

I love the Blue of my Cup but then I think I'd prefer the Luxury's and ABS of the FF!!!! (I'm a bit shaken up by the accident and although I don't blame the non ABS I think it would help relax my mind! lol).

Is Icelandic Silver just plain Silver??? As I've seen a few pics and they almost look like a Blue / Silver??? Similar to my old Avus Silver TT.

I'm not sure if a plain Silver would do it for me... If there was a more blue/silver then I'd be happy!

You don't deserve one after that remark. Philistine. :mad:

1) No such thing a 172 FF. It's just 172 and 172Cup.

2) It's Iceberg Silver. Not Icelandic.

But yeh, they can look great. Same as any car if you spend the money on it.

I like all the 172 colours. Understated but stylish.

I think you'd be happy with any, but you did have the best colour with your Cup..

lol... I've seen a girl driving one locally to me and it's dropped about 40mm i'd say. It does look stunning, but then in adverts they look a bit dull.

Mossy yours is stunning. I'm torn between Iceburg and Monaco now :(

My GF gets worried when I start looking for specific colours / specs... that's when you have to drive 5 hours to get one!!!! lol... (I drove 4 1/2 hours to get my Cup and 4 hours to get my TT as it was the colour scheme I wanted!)

So it'd be nice for a change to buy a car reasonably local.
