nice, dont like the roof vent or boot spolier, but rest is nice

 

[182_blue]

Loads better without the stickers tho mate

 

[tiff_needle]

yeh they were extremely difficult to get rid of. They came off ok but the glue resin stuff took ages to go real pain.

 

[cat171]

looks loads better now, i would take the tape off of the number plates next,
plus take the rest of the prima stuff off of it (the door badges etc) as you have no need to advertise for them.

 

[tiff_needle]

The red on the number plate is inside the plates, would have to get new plates to get rid of it. Yeh will probably get the writing off the windows and may replace it with something else if anyones interested

 

[cat171]

get a new set of plates for it, i thought it was just tape - surely they arent legal ?!

Great car, but i would change wheels and put bigger one on it

The car line is very aggressive, and wheels does not follow that

 

[tiff_needle]

I could go to 19s I think but I may lower it a bit more instead. My opinion on the wheels has totally changed, at first I didnt like them but now with the centre caps off they kind of resemble btcc wheels and look way better

I would like to put one of those ktec half cages in the back with the detachable bar so people access to the rear seats is still kept think they r about £300

 

[Ali]

is that a 172 under all that?? Looks a bit random, argree with comment about spoiler and vent, spy a carbon bonnet "Greggs selling one cheap" and a Vee spoiler would make that look the b****cks!

 

[Chris n nic]

I agree with AJR. V6 spoiler and std rear lights (maybe Mk1) and it will be spot on

Chris

The carbon bonnett greg is selling wouldnt fit its for a phase 2,i wouldnt go any bigger with the wheels if i was you,18s are gonna slow it down never mind 19s

Gorgeous car

Agree about new plates and more subtle spolier

Id put a Mk2 phase 2 boot lock surround on aswell

i think the wheels are plenty big enough, any bigger and it will bollock the ride up

 

[Ali]

What did u change Remedi?

 

[Remedi]

I removed the bonnet vent, roof vent, spoiler and lowered it a little.

Smoooooth.

[Remedi]

[Jamie _Swales]

I would love this kit, but if it was mine it would be on coilovers.

Get it lowered, and see if you get get hold of the splitter they have on the super1600s at the front

Totally. Meg 225 engine wouldnt be shy either.

 

[tiff_needle]

Thanks for the remedi, interesting to see that, its amazing what youve done, but as im looking more for a super 1600 replica look rather than an individual customised look I prefer it with the spoiler and vents even though they may be a bit touch and go tastewise.

I have been pretty much astonished with the reaction this car gets I came out of halfords today and there was a kid taking a foto of it! And when I came out of a shop after getting some lunch these two bikers were walking round it putting there faces up to the window. V6 drivers - is this what you get all the time?? as I have had a few "headturners" and stuff in the last couple of years some in the good way others in the bad way but this is on a different level all together

As for the wheels you can already feel the difference compared to the standard car, stuff like being in third when normally you would be in fourth at 40mph so I think I will be sticking with the 18s

looks more like a v6 with some funky rear arches !

 

[Remedi]

^^it does look V6-ish

No probs tiff, i was bored hehe.

We definately need more wide arch beasts on the forum

 

[tiff_needle]

Yeh I was told by prima that while they have done loads in france and europe, this is the only one they have done in the UK
