Already have plans in my head dear ryan! she's in mint condition inside and out as soon as i saw her i said id have it, even though its not the colour i was after!

 

[Rhino172]

ooooh, are these ideas going to be shared or it secret squirrel situation?

 

[Hazza]

It was Insomnia...

 

[Timmay]

very nice

 

[Pistol Pete]

Another one, very nice.

 

[Sash]

well, These are only ideas at the mo and will need loadsa money saved!
Possibility of a complete re-spray in liquid yellow with ollie's 172 wheels re-furbed in anthracite, with 172 bumpers and skirts fitted and sprayed at the same time.

Ive already had my stereo fitted along with new infinity door speakers front and back (early xmas pressie from Beau!) my 6x9s, custom built amp box with new amp too (another early xmas pressie from Beau) luggage net (from a 172) and boot liner! did have a splitter but id need to lower it considerably to make it look right, so might as well wait til i get the 172 bumper etc plus zurich are as$ wipes about modifications so wait til july nxt year til i can grab my years no claims off them and run!!!
Beau also taken the anti resinance filter off to make it sound throaty but thats easy peasy to put bk on again

Anyone got any other ideas let me know.

 

[TeZ]

1.2?

 

[SteveC047]

Very nice car, that is pretty much identical to the 1.4 I had. I loved that little car, but the Trophy was calling.

Looks in great nick look forward to seeing the progress.

 

[Rich]

Looks clean - enjoy.

 

[Coby.]

Looks Very Tidy, Your plans sound expensive with a Full LY Respray

Andy

 

[Dcds4]

sweet but that cs sticker is gash

 

[Sash]

Tez she's a 1.4 Dynamique+.
Cs sticker is peeling off anyway only been on 2 weeks... rather poor i reckon!

Yeah LY respray will be expensive, but i dont plan on changing her for a long while yet, as she's very low milage 27k and in such good condition.

I doubt the saving will start til after xmas now!

 

[HartZ]

Looks nice and tidy.. good choice

 

[Rhino172]

LY respray! blimey girl! get saving as soon as...

all due repsect it's a very good upgrade from Bacon...poor thing was on it's last legs for a good while..

 

[Brasseye]

looks nice colour........ be good to see it at a meet

 

[Lia Giba]

looks good, enjoy!

 

[Andy.1.2-16v]

Woop woop same colour as mine, very nice too....

 

[Marky_]

Looks like you've found a very tidy example there. Nice one.

 

[Sash]

LY respray! blimey girl! get saving as soon as...

all due repsect it's a very good upgrade from Bacon...poor thing was on it's last legs for a good while..

still is on her last legs is poor ol' bacon! took her out for a spin the other night, after getting an attack of the guilts! still drives as outragously bad as before but still is my ickle bacon!

the new one has a new name now, she's called amber. hopefully getting new registration plates on her too.

The colour i think is similar to a LY just darker tones.

All in all im very happy with her

 

[Duncx]

Looks nice Sarah, good choice.

You'll have to bring her to the Xmas meet next week.

 

[biglad58]

Nice

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

Oh wow, that's really nice Sarah. Love the colour too, and dare I say it, a vast improvement on Bacon? You are going to have some serious fun in that. Well done Miss!

 

[Ollie82.]

I'd save the money Sarah and keep it the colour it is now!

 

[Sash]

thanks for all your replies. the re-spray is only an idea guys willl take an age to save for anyhow!

 

[GarethM]

nice

 

[mikey_172]

it look good at the meet!! rather than spend all that money on it would it not be cheaper to have a sport ?

 

[Sash]

Well mikey, no is the aswer to that, as the greedy barstewards that insurance companies are they wanted over £2000 for a 182/172!!

 

[mikey_172]

but how much would it cost to convert it get the wheels done and a respray

 

[Sash]

about £3000 but bear in mind im in no debt atm, if i had bought a 182 in ly outright id be paying it off for 5 years! at a total cost of something like £12000!

 

[Stryker]

you gonna put the 172 wheels on that you got off ollie?

 

[cat171]

I'd save the money Sarah and keep it the colour it is now!

Yup me too.
Only if the paintwork was proper cack & the car was battered would I consider a re spray. As it looks nice i'd leave it

 

[DebV6]

Aww, looks really nice Sarah, enjoy

 

[Cookie]

Silver is a nicer colour Sarah, spray it that instead

 

[Sash]

Liquid or nowt im afraid!

 

[Sash]

Ok maybe if i cant afford to change to LY, then i'll just colour code and do 172 rep with bumpers and skirts etc in this colour.

Is there much difference in the cup spoiler and the standard spoiler?

 

[Limca]

nioce sarah
