As long as it lasts well mate, I bought a foilatec kit from halfrauds for £20, gave the brakes a good scrubbing and 2 good coats. It was off in 4 months. Re-did mine with a good old £3 tin of Hammerite in the summer. I know what you mean about it being well worth the effort mate.

I got the parts very cheap through a Renault Tech friend.

Although all these bits i keep adding/repairing are using the coilover money!

Ah, the joys of a 172 eh?!
