Opinions please on the black lettring on my 172's door bullets/badges

[D1CKY]

I posted this in the Clio Discussion section and was unsure if it was in the correct place so have posted it here now (Sorry Mods)

Today i went for black lettering on my door badges/bullets.

What does everyone views to the black lettering on my 172 door Bullets ?

As i'm unsure about it and whether i should leave them like that or go for doing them another way ? :S

well done removing the mudflaps.

Now it needs 15mm spacers all round (possibly 10mm at the back) and shes done.

Then a 182 manifold too
Reckon I should start a 182 manifold fitting service? lol

No probs. :rasp:

I quite fancy new wheels, so spacers may have to wait.

And as for the 182 manifold aint it a lot of f**king about ?

Yes it's a lot of fukin about, the subframe has to come off. Need to set aside a day to do the job. But then if you refit with a decat it really does have a noticable gain. It depends how much you value your time
Wouldnt recommend paying a garage for fitting though

And if i fitted one, is it possible to get the cat to fit in for the Mot ?

I heard K Tec do some kind of 172 to 182 manifold fitting kit :S

Looks good, this just done free hand mate? and what paint you use?

You need a custom length Decat pipe (100 off Ktec - not very well made actually ) and then the standard 172ph2 cat can be cut and welded to make it short enough (just) I'm doing my cat ATM.
The only fitting kit you need is new bolts and springs to hold the manifold and decat together as your will be rusted and probably not fit for reuse.
