Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Door pillar badges are now off!

When I bought the car it had 'cup' but the '172' part was missing; bought replacements that last all of a month or so, so I've removed it all now

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Your cars perfect mate, what polish/wax do you use? can never seem to get my 'berg that shiny

 

[oliver.james]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Cheers, I usually use dodo juice supernatural wax

Last lot of photos was Auto Glym super resin polish and extra gloss protection.

Some have drivers side de-locked, but a lock on the passenger side still. I think it's from a certain date/year

Cheers both! I think the 2118's suit it so much more than the turinis did!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

This might have been covered already, but I didn't realise 172 Cup's could come with a/c and climate control?

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

It's an Olympus SLR, nothing particularly expensive

They've just had the lightness channel sharpened

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

i like my ds2500 pads. Car looks great dude

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Not really an update, more that I've given it a well needed clean this morning and thought I'd be a photo *****

 

[Greeny.]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

lovely

 

[ben2904]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

What size do you choose on fancyplates for the front number plate?
cheers

 

[oliver.james]

I can't remember the exact size off the top of my head, but I used the guide in the guide section on here; written by Revels iirc

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Looking lovely oliver, Im now all set to go and give mine a cleaning now but the weather is terrible

 

[oliver.james]

Yep weather is terrible here now too! It started to rain not long after I'd finished cleaning tbh!!

 

[oliver.james]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Been thinking of getting some Recaro Pole Position's

Ideally, I could do with still gaining access to the rear seats, but I do fancy fixed buckets :dapprove:

I believe they side mount, is there any solution that would allow access to the rear? Or, am I going to have to opt for reclining sports seats instead?

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Car looks awesome mate! Love the wheels, does it feel any different handling wise With the 15's on?

I prefer how it feels on the 15s personally

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

With regards to plans for the car now; Recaro Pole Positions, JMS RS2 inlet and Wilwood's

That'll keep me busy/happy over the coming months anyway...!!

I had my insurance renewal to pay out for earlier this week too, which had increased a little this year to £850, despite now having 5yr no claims and no points, etc. Seems to be a common thing that insurance prices have heightened this year :dapprove:

 

[nufctoon]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

yeh i got 2 years no claims and im over 25 the price has risen 250 from last year. nice plans dude did you sell your turinis

 

[oliver.james]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Yeah mine's about £200 more than last year! Annoying, but sadly a necessity!

Yep, Turinis have gone; I only have my 2118's now

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

your car is mint mate! i always say that to you looks wicked on them 2118's might get some myself :approve: not a copy cat or anything:rasp: LOL.

cheap tyres is fine with me but it will need sum serious slammage! im thinkin of going for black turbines or 2118's at the mo

 

[SteveS Cup]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

With regards to plans for the car now; Recaro Pole Positions, JMS RS2 inlet and Wilwood's Also get rid of the 2118's and buy some more Turini's.

These plans sound good mate!!

Seriously though, PP's are my favourite fixed buckets, that JMS intake just looks amazing let alone what it'll do to the performance!

 

[DanBMX]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

nice looking car, mines is in a similar silver so now i know what it would look like.

but yours looks really good!

 

[oliver.james]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

haha, I don't want anymore turinis...much prefer the 2118's...

PP's and 4-pots will be soon I would think, then the JMS intake a little later

I'm not really in a rush to get it all done though, I'm happy with how it's driving and looking and really enjoying it at the moment

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Lovely car

But more interested in your name, I'm Oliver James as well and you obviously have a surname starting with a 'C' as well, how strange.

Can we marry?

 

[daddycool]

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

love your car. how come you went with 15" alloys to replace the 16" standard?

lol!! Sure, why not :clown:

I've always been a fan of Speedline 2118's; figured I was just about low enough to pull them off!

I read a good few report on here beforehand of people changing to 15s and favouring the feel! Having had them for a little while now, I'd agree with that too!

Also, can't grumble at the prices of 195/50/15 tyres!
