Aaaaaargh. Pains me deeply, but they do look good, the plastics tend to fade and go grey.Id maybe spray the side strips and handles black rather than plastic which is on there now?

Every village has one...
Nice car dan. Its good to see a standard one that hasn't been b*stardised.
(Although if it was mine i'd fit HID's, and ph2 rear lighs and a pipercross panel filter...)
Hids I might do then, Warren. Do they look good or just look like my Nan got me a voucher for Halfords?
ITG you gay.

There's only one mod (performance/handling wise) that I'd do for a road ph1. Whiteline ARB. More of an improvement than coilovers (bar the expensive brands).I've spent the last half hour going through the threads, wondering who this new fellow was, turn's out it was just India under a different name! Get a "was" fool!
Daniel, sounds terrible good, for me (and I'm right):
Properly re-trimmed steering wheel, (either that or an aftermarket one if you really want)
Coilovers or Sportlines if you're cheap
HID's
Ph2 bootlid (so much nicer and allows you to have the new RS badge)
Ph2 sidestrips and standard bullets
Maybe a cup spoiler too.
Done
Oh, and did it come from a certain Ed?

Again. Stop ruining threads.Ive never seen one with gloss black side strips or handles :S
When you take the standard stereo out, there's a yellow squareish plug. That's for the controls. You only need to remove the dash if you want stereo info on the clock display. I never bothered, but it's only a 15min job to remove the dash.Wheel isn't tooooo bad. Not proper fucked like a lot of them. But yeah, a retrim is potential.
Coilovers.
HID's.
Meh. Mebbe.
I kinda like the originality of the standard sides (this opinion is subject to change)
Brian is selling me his cup spoiler for £50.
Nope. Not from Ed.
Someone tell me that I don't have to remove the dash to get my stalk control on my stereo please?

Jodi, they aren't gloss black. Ph1 172's didn't come colour coded.

For the ph2 at least, connects2 do an adaptor that enables the screen and controls on an aftermarket stereo without having to remove the dash, just stows away behind the stereo
It's really easy fella. There's bugger all space behind the stereo as well, taking the dash off makes organising them much easier. Get everything on at once. By the time I'd got the stereo, bluetooth handsfree, stereo controls fitted, the dash had been off 4 times iirc.Hmmmm. I do want it by the clock. I think. But I know I'll drop/lose screws. Lol.
Different wiring in the ph1's. Might still do one, but not sure. MTAudio supplied mine, very good bloke to deal with too.For the ph2 at least, connects2 do an adaptor that enables the screen and controls on an aftermarket stereo without having to remove the dash, just stows away behind the stereo
