my 172

[STRAWBERRY BUBBLE]

I dream and long for a v6 but can't afford one and it's impractical for me but how i long for one.. now i was thinking (well and partly someone suggesting) that i buy a kit to make my 172 look like a v6!! my ears pricked up and i was seriously listening, can you get a kit to make a 172 look like a v6?? if so how much do you reckon it would set me back?? including the exhaust system and would i have to change anything or do anything to my 172 to be able to fit this kit on?? please help i am getting really excited about this thanks guys....strawberry..

Oh lord, don't do this, people have tried and they all look like complete shitboxes.

 

[gazcaddy]

Errmmm Nope. It will look rubbish

 

[STRAWBERRY BUBBLE]

really???? ohhh pooo!! I thought it would be my chance to have a half v6!! lol why does it look so rubbish then?

 

[Alan]

No.

 

[gaz44]

Just buy a toy V6 and be happy knowing that you didn't royaly screw-up your 172. It wouldn't fool anyone but yourself.

 

[DrR]

They look rubbish because they never looks like V6's

 

[Jonaldinho]

Do the opposite of the Nike advert...

"Don't f**king do it"

 

[Adamhodg]

They look rubbish because they never looks like V6's

Exactly!

It would be cheaper buying a v6

The kit looks gash there some pictures on here where it been tried many times and failed

ahhh get them away my eye's are melting!

 

[DrR]

If you could do it properly, by all means do it, but i don't think it would be possibe for cheaper then a real v6, and you'd be killing off a 172 in the process.

now the grey one looks 100% better than the gold one.. it doesn't look too bad at all just the wheels look too small for it don't you think?

Have you ever seen a real v6, the problem is that a normal clio is no where near wide enough.

 

[Chili Red]

Please don't even think about it...V6 replicas look utter gash. I've only seen one decent one ever but there's just no point.

 

[Day]

I think you should do it.

Anything to annoy those inbred cup owners

 

[cat171]

The only decent replica out there is the source (hi fi) ice car - that looks the nuts reason being is that it was build using genuine v6 parts, which I belive Matt Black supplied.

The rest of the replicas look soo s**te it's un-true.
If it means you have to save up for the real deal, save up & do it.

Oh god no..Do not even think about it! Every attempt, bar one, has looked utter gash!

Get some Coilovers, maybe do a bit of engine work, and subtle mods only!

Tys.
