MY REPAIRED & UPDATED Mk1 172!

Christopher · Jun 24, 2005

As most of you know my car was vandalised recently, leaving it looking like this...

I collected it from the bodyshop today!

Had some choice mods done while it was in. Mk2 bumpstrips and rear bumper. Plus i colour coded my 2.0 16v badges the same as my wheels.

Sorry for the pic-fest but im so bl**dy happy right now that it was nessasary

Thanks to CHRIS172CUP for the bumper and A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO SHOWED SUPPORT AND BACKUP A FEW WEEKS AGO.

enjoy...

Thats lovely!

Happy you got it sorted quick! Wish i could get mine done so fast!

Daz. · Jun 24, 2005

Close up of the repaired damage my boy!

Looks really good with that bumper on - didnt think Id like it as much as the standard one - is it just me or does the picture of the bumper in the first pic look a different colour?

_Kenny_ · Jun 24, 2005

Thats looking absolutely spanking mate, damn fine job. Happy for you after your recent troubles

the only reason its been fixed so quickly is that the money was allocated for H&R Coilovers

still glad i got it done though!!!!.......coilovers by mid-summer

its the light mate and the fact im using a camera im not used to. i though the same at first, but its a great match.

thanks for the positive comments people!

Ooo gwan mate that dash would look lurverly..

By this rate it might have been easier retro fitting the front end!

Now theres a thought

Turkish · Jun 24, 2005

looking good fella, bet you are glad to have it back and in the right shape.

Christopher · Jun 24, 2005

Dean - yeah, a whole new 1/4 panel, i wanted it to look perfect. not just a bashed out panel.

Loony - it feel great to have the car back to how it should be. im a bit dissapointed about not buying the coilovers....but the other mods make up for it.

thanks everyone.
