[Scrooge]

I agree carbon looks a lot better on black cars, a lot less subtle. Each to there own tho I have a 5 door nobody likes those lol

Good work mate...you can always swap for a 182 when you can afford the insurance and recycle a lot of pieces on it!

I got lucky that in my country a few years ago they passed a law that allow to get the same insurance class of your parents if you live with them for the 1st car. The 172 is the first car i own and i pay 680 euros a year!! It would be around 3000 without that law.

cheers mate i wont be swaping parts over to a 172 though

after xmas i am puting on 172 rear axle and brakes seting up abs and cross drilled and ventilated disks upgrading brake fluid and fiting braded hoses - all in preperation for the 172 engine being put in

cheers

 

[Gardus]

Isn't it dangerous? Here if they get you with a different engine in you can risk to lose your license and even your car, and if you have an accident with others involved the insurance doesn't cover.

 

[Mcaff]

dont worry mate will be declaring it long term project everything will be kept legal wouldnt risk it lol

cheers mate at the start went for an all black theme but wanted a bit of colour and when i got new caliper carriers it was 2 tone silver and black so decided to do it yellow. got a spare set of wing mirror covers coming going to do them yellow see how they look - cheers again

 

[guysy]

Fair play mate, on the non sport calipers i really think the fronts should be silver or black and the drums just plain black but thats me personally, Also ive only ever liked the coloured wing mirrors on track look cars.. But again its your car

Less is more imo.

Carbon bonnet looks spot on!

 

[Mcaff]

drums on mine are black for now but will have the disks on back in new year - as for the wing mirrors im just going to try it to see how it will look not sure if i will keep them you never know you might like them lol

i totaly agree with the less is more but bordum brings me to do things to it only thing setting it apart from the rest of the crowd really is for 1 its not a sport and 2 it has a carbon bonnet

apriecate the comments cheers

 

[nozzy15]
