My Phase 1 172

[Mike...]

Hopefully this works!

Just after a wash.

Plans thus far are;

F1's, Possibly in anthracite (Really hate the current alloys, just don't look right)
Sportlines
RS Matts
Osram Nightbreakers
White L.E.D side Lights
Possibly get front bumper resprayed as it;s stone chipped to hell.
New aerial if i can get the old one off, seems stuck on?
Also respraying my grab handles at the minute.

Any Comments and critisism welcome, Any idea for me to improve it?

Looks nice mate. Id agree with the alloys, the ph2 ones just dont look right.

Oh I want a metal foot rest too, does anyone know where they are available from?

Examples like this make me want a phase 1 over a phase 2. great work mate. looks ace. A lilltle bit of a drop on the phase 2 alloys would complement them a little better. although your best off with f1`s . very nice though mate.

( also the foot rests are in the for sale section under group buy)

That looks lovely!! I like the ph2 alloys, think they look good. A drop would look great, and maybe a ph2 rear bumper and rear lights.

all the plans seem like a good idea mate. 100% agree with the wheels they look s**t on a phase 1. car looks lovely and clean though,

the ariel should just twist off might need a helping hand ( i put a rubber glove on before twist it off and put some wd40 as mine was stuck on).

Maybe colour code the bump strips or get the phase 2 ones. also phase 2 rear lights seems like a popular mod to do on here, not sure if i can see one in the pic but you could get a splitter. or leave it completly standard kind of coming round to the complete standard way of thinking.

Might be worth odering a new aerial base aswell - will freshen the roof up - piss easy to swap.

 

[Mike...]

Thanks guys appreciate the kind comments.

The alloys will definately be going at the first possible oppurtunity.

I want the car to be as standard looking as possible really so the Ph2 rear end is a No no for me.

As for bumpstrips I was pondering Ph2 Gloss black whats anyone's opinion on that? It could go one of two ways either look good or be absoloutley gash!

Thanks for the tip regards the aerial dom, would never of though to wear a rubber glove!

 

[domjolly]

Yeah you look like a crazy mother fucker walk out your house with a marry gold rubber glove on but it worked for me lol

And I tried phase 2 bump strips in gloss black mate looked shite just looked like a cheap arsed part I didn't have the money to respray them, colour code them or no paint at all just the bare plastic

looks good mate, defo get some f1's back on it though.

 

[Jewson172]

Looks like a very nice example.

Love it. Miss mine, but strangely I don't miss the 182.

Cheers for the comments guys.

Just taken her out and got her all mucky again down some country roads into Castleton, nothing better than a quick car, some country roads, the sun out, windows down and music up! The temp was reading 24 degrees when I got back home, there are advantages to working nights it seems!
