New alloys :)

It's slowly all coming together just paint to be done this weekend I think that's the majority of things

But the wheels look nice

I'll let the pics do the talking

The misses back to blacked my car too and washed inside bless

 

[Edd]

Paint job on the wing/bumper doesn't look great. But if it's just a cheap runner then fair enough.

 

[SBV116]

She could of back to blacked the tyres!!!! Them tyres look cheap and nasty.....

Other than that, as long as your happy!

 

[Heez]

NEED SKIRTS!

Wheels dont look bad!

 

[Chapster5]

I got some tyre cleaner for the wheels

 

[GavC]

Needs the dual optic headlights and clear side repeaters pronto to brighten it up! As Edd mentioned the paint job on the skirts doesnt look too great, may be it still needs a polish though?

 

[-Danman-]

Yeah clear side repeaters make a big difference but the wheels do look nice mate, they 15"?

Cheers mate I may have some stealth bulbs for the front knocking about after faffing trying to get the rear bulbs lol

The wheels are indeed 15" the cars lowered 40mm

I'm not a fan of the dual optics I wanted something a bit different than other 172's it's a replica so it's got 1.1 non sport headlights lol as said above I may have some clear stealth indicator bulbs knocking around somewhere and the paint is naff it was a quick rattle can job that I ran out of paint half way through it's being resprayed this weekend thank god and side skirts fitted

 

[GavC]

Trust me, dual optics are the way forward. The non-sport headlights you have look extremely dated Ruins the front end

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Not a fan. Wheels look a bit Halfrauds specialtastic and those nasty tyres need binning before you go sky-ground-sky-ground-ditch the first time it rains.

Wut ?

He didn't. There are no skirts...

WTF's a 'stealth bulb' ?

It's not a 172 and it's not really a rep either, is it ?! It's just got a 172 bumper and wings on. Nothing else

:S

I'm sure I've seen this in Wigan a couple of times?

WTF's a 'stealth bulb' ?

I was thinking this ha, yeah, atm im running with 1 crap tyre on the back left while my wheels are getting sprayed, all was going well untill the road got a bit wet and i find myself 90 degrees sideways on a bend at low speeds... oh dear me, as is said many times, false economy buying cheap tyres... cant wait to get my Michelins back on all round!

Buy half decent tyres

 

[leeds_182]

Even with ditch finders on you've got to be driving like a bit of a bell end to end up 90 degrees sideways on a bend IMO.

well i was following an l200 pickup (no-one i know) at the same speed and they got round just fine, mr accelera tyre was having none of it though!

might have had something to do with before i went round said corner i was parked on some grass aswell...

 

[Knuckles]

didnt realise how close newton-le-willows was, chapster, you up here often?

 

[Chapster5]

Evil giraffe- they are a lot better than my 18"s, tyre cleaner for tyres I meant make them black, stealth bulbs are the chrome Indicator bulbs it's how I know them to be called. How is it not a replica with the kit on? A replica is a "look-alike" am I wrong?


RDH - you probably have matey I'm knocking round there from time to time mainly Ashton.

Knuckles I'm usually about Wigan way every now and then for a mooch

Car is in for a paint today I'll have it back tomorrow
