My Dutch 172 phase 1

Since I mounted a K-tec or Powerflex dogbone today, I guessed it was a good time to shoot some photo's.
It's almost an OEM RS, exept for the R-tuner mapping, the Powerflex dogbone and the Nardi steering wheel.

lovely change the rear lights back...then drive it into a garage shut the door and put a huge padlock on it id say!

Mixed feelings about the rear lights, these ones look fresh and new. But I can understand your preference too

I'd say get out there and drive it, thats what it was made for lol. Obviously once the weather improves...

Is that a twin cat? I didnt know that ph1s came with twin cats, or is it a dutch thing?

 

[ben_r1]

No they all have that ugly lump of metal lol.

Nice. As said ph1 rear lights and refurb/polish the headlights will really freshen the front end up.

cant wait to ditch mine...

The 3M headlight restoration set is already at home, so that'll be done soon

And indeed, pretty expensive kat also if you have to replace it.

By the way, what wheel spacers are often used here? Subtle spacers..., not extreme ones.

 

[yeecup]

20mm for the front IMO

Very nice, the only problem is the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car. :rasp::quiet:

Haha, I'd say the same to you, but I think I'm outnumbered here

Don't like the interieur though... The blue accents are horrible, would have preferred it black. But I'm not going to swap dashboards for a phase 2, since It would loose it's identity. Swapping some dashboard parts for black ones from a Clio '99 RT or RXE would be a nice choice. But I don't know if I'm willing to put in the effort yet
