Change the wheels/exhaust and replace with original grills and will look 100x better.

All of the above and sort that high rear plate out, hope u can sort this car

Not sure why this was left out, but it needs a good clean too!

Congrats, as above but check oil, brakes etc and make sure all belts have been changed. Looks like a boy racer has had this one.

 

[Taywaaa]

I've washed it since as it had been sitting on a drive for 2/3 months.

Cambelt was changed 10,000 miles ago and decent tax & mot, had a look all round, everything seems okay & drives okay, so im pretty happy with the purchase.

Didn't even realise the back plate was too high & i spent about 2 hours trying to sort my BMW plates out haha.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.

 

[plymcl172]

who did your cambelt and do you have paperwork to prove it? I know we bang on about it but if it wasn't done by a specialist then assume its not been done

I had no paperwork with my 172 so first thing I did was cambelt before I even drove it hard

 

[Taywaaa]

Yea thats a fair point, im dropping it round my mechanics tomorrow morning to get it all checked over.

​Hopefully is all sound.

 

[EvoFq3o0]

Good stuff, Get some pics up of it clean too

 

[GW200]

I've got a set of anthracite Turinis for sale that would look the dogs nuts on this

Attack those headlights with some wet and dry then Scatch-X. Will transform the front of the car once the headlights are shiny and that grill is gone!

That grill is bad, nearly as bad as the wheels and exhaust, that exhaust sticks out further than a fattys tongue in kfc.

 

[Taywaaa]

Looked at the grill in more detail & all 3 bits are with completely different sized fencing? haha.

Pay day tomorrow. Gunna get underway with some work on this car.

Thanks again for all of your unanimous comments.

 

[Mr Plums]

It only needs minor touches to be a nice car mate, dont worry about it

​Standard grill and wheels and it will look nice

I think your aerial is missing too?
