My 172 (new wheels and exhaust)

[bradfincham]

I had the exhaust fitted by race alloy back in october and havent had time to take pics of the system.

I also purchased some trophy alloys today and put them on.

I think the anthracite and black looks bloody sexual!

Gave the car a quick wash and now im back in love with her

Very Nice mate! How much is Your car lowed by?

 

[Jonaldinho]

Awesome car!

Like the wheels..

 

[Herdie172]

U need to get a cup splitter on to finish the front. Change your yellow side repeaters to clear and get hold of a cup spoiler for finishing touches! Then it would be immence!

 

[Adamhodg]

Looks good mate, youre right the anthracite goes really well with the black.

 

[bradfincham]

The car isnt lowered at all mate.

I wish i knew how to post pics rather than links from a fotki account. The forum guide is no help what so ever!

Cup splitter is something i fancy next, brakes need replacing too!

 

[hydeyho]

As said, clear/smoked repeaters, cup spoiler and splitter would finish that off great. You've got to love Trophy Turini's!

I like the wheels. Shame you haven't gone for a stealth exhaust.

 

[DebV6]

Looks lovely

 

[bradfincham]

stealth exhaust is a waste of time i feel. I didnt like the clear repeaters. Silver visions yes.

 

[medici999]

looks the sex. how much were the alloys?

 

[JMR]

Quality Finchy.

All round top job. Alloys look great.

What type of exhaust is it. Looks tidy, I went for a stealth when mine dropped off. However that looks the mutts nuts cut into the bumper.

ps, nice number plate

 

[Limca]

[TheCake]

Nice one Brad Liking that exhaust.

 

[Ali]

Lovely mate. Cup splitter, spoiler, Repeaters and my four pots would finish that!!

 

[bendee]

looks amazing them wheels were defo on my list of mods aswell as a cup spoiler.

 

[Peperami]

Looks ace finchy! Prefer those wheels to the supers, and exhaust is looking good

 

[caymanr26]

looking good mate - exhaust sits nicely as well. got to agree about the side repeaters though - I know they are only a small thing but make a big difference - orange looks gash!
did you buy the wheels brand new?

stealth exhaust is a waste of time i feel.

Eh?

 

[Rhino172]

sorry but I have to say I don't like the wheels against the black, other colours are fine...just makes them look like they should be black but they have faded...just my opionon mind...

exhaust look very nice though! any vids?

 

[S22 JGS]

niiiiice!

172.com - whats the point in spending the cash on an exhaust for a performance/better life gain when you cant see it. I think the stealth exhausts look awful on the 172 as it just doesnt make the rear look correct.

Mine done in the 182 style with the surround is the most factory fit look i have seen. And im my opinion is how they should have been made in the first place for aesthetic reasons

stealth exhaust is a waste of time i feel.

Eh?

As brad said, they look better with something there.
Face it, clio is a birds car, the least you can do is give it a dick! LOL
*awaits comments about the so called dick being at the rear*

 

[Dave S2K]

Very nice, I like that

 

[Rob.H]

Im loving the exhaust theres a 172 cup in stoke on trent somewhere with white wheels on with the same style exhaust cut in and i think it looks the nuts...by far the best for the 172 as i hate the magnex's that sit below the bumper!

You just answered your own question.

How can a stealth exhaust look awful? You can't see the damn thing lol. The only exhausts I like to see are dual ones, like the 182 or one on each side of the car, otherwise it's just another bland, horrible looking exhaust imo. As for the aesthetic reasons, you've just ruined that as now the back is no longer symmetrical, it was aesthetically pleasing before, you've just changed it's chi.

I agree with Rob.H though, it's a very good job and so much better than the exhausts that stick out the bottom of the bumper as that looks even worse!

i paid £400 for my system and some work on the cat. It has a lifetime guarantee and sounds the bollox and throttle response has improved greatly. Look at every other car there is has an exhaust to one side of the car, so your saying thats wrong and they need one each side?? I really dislike the twin exit ones either side.

Its all personal preference :approve:

 

[Gaz_]

i dont like the twin exhaust 'wheel barrow' look either

 

[Frozen_CLIO]

=o very nice i want some

 

[bradfincham]

cheers for the comments

cant stop looking at the bloody thing at the moment

 

[Nick_R182]

Looks good fella.

I really arent sure mate, ive seen it knocking about a couple of times. There not turinis's though, they look like some kind of speedline wheels possibly.....i only caught a glimpse of the car!!
