My 172 Cup



  Breaking 172 NV676
Finally got it lowered at the weekend so went out with a mate for some pic's so let the whoring begin! I know most probably wont like it but feel free to flame away.

Last 2 picture's make it look like it's screaming for a good detailing and machine.

I kinda like it, there was one with the same paint scheme for sale in Nottingham few month back and it looked awesome.

I think if anything there's a little too much yellow on yours though. Certainly stand's out though :)

Nice Pictures. Like the yellow in the wheels and tow strap, its good to see something different. But the bullets and diamond are over kill imo.

Nice pics but I don't think yellow and blue works. If you're happy with it that's all that matters.

The last couple of pics have been over played with by my mate so make it look worse than it is.

The bodywork has quite a lot of carpark damage that is next on the hit list.

There are also some more plans afoot that I have a feeling will make it more unpopular on here, but it will be very different and even more marmite.

Not 100% on the colours yet or even if I am going to take the plunge and go for it. But a camo roof and part of the bonnet/wing.
torn between this and going down the safe route of carbon

Love the wheels, not keen on the all the other yellow bits. I'd recomend a black roof :) our cars would be very similar then

love this, looks awesome! stickers are a nice touch i reckon sets it off nicely, your roof plan sounds nuts! but i would have said the same about the yellow buts till i saw these pics
 
  Breaking 172 NV676
Its lowered on the K-tec Gaz/KTR coilovers which go to a max of 70mm. The back is lower but wouldnt say its dropped 70mm more like 40ish, but with no rear seats and the jacks and other bits all taken out there is no weight over the back so I am sure it will settle lower in time.

The front did start off as low as it went but it sat on the arch liners. Spent few hours adjusting it up so it didnt rub, modified the bumper mount on the drivers side slightly with a hammer too. Thread wise it is the length of a wheel bolt and 4 threads from the bottom, or to get a normal trolley jack under the sill you need to have a couple of mates to push on the roof.

Liking the bright alloys fella! Loving the stance too, but agree with the masses, the little yellow stickers in the front bumper are a bit too much. Apart from that - ace! Was the direction my Cup was going before I developed a love for Carbon...... :S

Silly question, how have you fitted the tow strap? Have you cut the lower grill so that it passes through back to where the threaded hole is or used a long bolt to space it out? I can't make it out from your pics....

"modifiied it with a hammer" LOL

I really like the wheels, looks great. The camo might make it look like it's a joke instead of serious car....

It is MG Trophy Yellow



There is a couple of newer pictures kicking around on here somewhere, I acquired a vinyl cutting machine and someone kept making comments about the colours so had a little play one evening.... Ill dig out some pictures.

Sorry mate but i think you've spoilt it with too much yellow. As you said though its marmite! long as you love it!

Great pics by the way!
 
  Ph 2 172
Love it mate. Got balls to put the vinyls on the bonnet but i think it looks awesome!! Doing something similar to my flame red 172 at the minute. Will definitely be a marmite car and i know for certain i will get some stick off people on here. Lol.

Very bright and attractive car but the vinyle on the bonnet is rather OTT but defo got balls to do it!
