My brothers 172 Replica

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

My brothers got a 1.2 16v Dynamique and we decided to make a replica.
When he bought it, it was completley standard except for the door handles and bumpstrips were colour coded.

So we collected together the full Full RS bodykit... filled in any scuffs or holes and sanded down with wet and dry

And got it professionally sprayed, resulting in a perfect colour match.

So we striped down the car and started to add the parts

Sorry the pictures arnt amazing, will get some more up when the weathers nice again.

Next to follow...

Lowering springs
172 Alloys
Passenger fog light surround
Splitter
Renault sport door sills
inner wheel arches

Any other suggestions welcome... more to come

Whats the colour called?

looks really good, the haters will say their piece about the door badges, however its a replica so....

rather than lowering springs id go for 182 hubs and dampers, then you can use either 182 springs or 2nd hand sportlines for similar money! and atleast it will handle and you can use 172/182 brakes!
