Non-Sport Flamer, Opinions needed!

[GeorgeH]

Here's my non sport flamer, stuck on ideas where to go next, wanting a 172 rear bumper, but is that just going to look like the rest? Check out the new purchase of the sport spoiler though (if you click on the pics they get bigger)

Cheers for looking!

If that was mine, the only other money I would spend on it is wheels and lowering.
Looks how a non-sport should after that! I like it.

Oh, loose the tow eye though. Spoils a nice car!

The tow eye looks really weird on it.

I'd concentrate on some alloys before you add a 172 bumper.

For little monies colour code the door handles, stubby aerial, 3/4 front plate (stuck on not screwed). Get rid of the nipple ring. Good effort so far tho, looks lovely and clean

Beatn to it!

I have one, but it suits my car I reckon. Not everyone agrees with me, but they're mongs.

Thanks for the comments, I'm uming and aring about the nipple ring, but it looks abit bland without. Hmmm wouldn't mind some 172 alloys. But I enjoy the comfort, would sportline lowering springs require new shocks?

 

[Christopher]

A 172 bumper and wheeltrims will look retarded. Get the Dynamique 15's if you're that bothered.

You won't need new shocks with springs either.

As said, here's mine with the ring. It only works if it's got a bit of a motorsports thing going on, IMO.

 

[GeorgeH]

I see what you mean, towing eye may come out. Do the 172 alloys come in 15" at all? Thinking those and the rear bumper!!

 

[gunner3011]

id deffinatly get a set of 172 alloys on it mate and also lower it! 172's are 16" mate, the only other ones are the non sport alloys which are 15" and similar design to the 172. sportlines wouldnt need new shocks although IMO sportlines dont drop it enough, mines on apex springs atm untill ive got the money for coilovers and every one moans about a harsh ride but tbh i havnt noticed a harsh ride as yet!

 

[Christopher]

Both are called 'Alium'

172's had them in 16"

2004 onwards Dynamiques had them in 15"

 

[jim cook]

Very tide that mate . agree with the lads needs some new wheels.............

 

[Slinkey]

Exactly the same car as my buddies. His plans are to colour code, coilovers and some nice light weight 15" alloys. Whether he gets round to it or not though

Did you colour code the bumpers yourself? My friends extreme isnt colour coded?

Cheers, that's what I'd be after, 15" look right IMO, will have to wait until A mint pair turn up though. If anyone has some for sale drop me a pm

I think if you go for the 15's, you'll wish you got the 16's as soon as you get them on.
The 16's don't go for much more on here. Keep an eye out!

Well if it does get dropped it will be on sportlines, so 45mm. 16's may look better, want to stay oem look. Guess I'll leave them till last n see what looks better.

Cheers

Non-sport on 16's:

Yeah looks good, but I don't think I'll pull it off as I'm not going that low. Sorry to disappoint and going against the grain, the 172 bumper is on it's way! Looking forward to getting that. Any body know how easy on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard taking the door handles off is?
