looks good matey should have had the door handles done tho.....;)

thinking the same
 


Yeah, everything sourced from the net, took me 8 months and not alot of cash.

Just really like the look of the 172, could afford 1 but at the time the missus didnt have her own car and couldnt drive, hence the 1.2 engine.

wings & front bumper were black, sideskirts red, rear blue, spoiler is black.
 


damn very nice mate thats what i wanted done but decided it was too much work.

you missed the door handles, get the paintable ones from renault come in primer!
 


Yeah will do that next, need to get the top grille and rear bumper insert, and thats it complete from the outside.

Now........where do I get an interior??
 
  R26


Very nice mate.

Needs my 172 wheels on it to finish it off. :)

Anyone wanna do a photoshop please. Standard 172 wheels
 


Seen one on ebay, for about a grand, running gear, loom n ecu, the lot basically.

Went for £920, that was cheap. Just didnt have that sorta cash kicking about to waste on an engine, as I started my own PC business a few months back.

nah, dont see the point in 2.0 badges at all, why kid on.

Wish it had a sunroof, and lights cost a fortune do they not?

Might paint the inside of the lights, although im unsure.
 


Ah those were the days eh........lol

Yeah Im really pleased to say the least.......

Thanks for the good comments folks

All I need to do now is put the lightening stripe along the side........joke btw!

Looks mint, I thought resprays were at least a grand? How come u got it done for not a lot of cash?
 


A mate done it, but hed paint anyones car for a cheap price, and hes good.



Reason for mucho cheapness is that he is still at college, although only four months to go.



Hes opening up his own bodyshop soon i think
 


Looks superb mate, thats what Im looking to do to my car once I save up some cash. Where did you get everything from? Bumpers, skirts etc? How much did it cost in total if you dont mind me asking.

Oh, and if your mate should open up a bodyshop Id certainly pay the place a visit, done a VERY good job by the looks of it.
 


Well I had to source everything, I got the front end from a guy on this site, swopped my front end for his, carzone & wings.

The rear bumper was from glasgow ish .

The sideskirts were from ebay.

The spoiler (Different one from 172) Ill try and get pics. was also from ebay.

Total cost inc painting was about £700.

Not bad when u consider the look.
 


Yeah £700 is pretty good, it looks absolutely superb, and i think those pics have just convinced me to do the same with mine. Just needed an idea of how much £££ Id need.
