Ph2 172 Pearl Black Transformation

[ChrisNineteenNinety]

Started out with a very standard Ph2 172

And now currently

So far it's been mainly cosmetic changes such as the having wing mirrors, bullets and badges resprayed in liquid yellow. Also new number plates to replace the old moldy ones.

Main changes were a set of Michelin PS3's and new alloys. I opted for 205/45 16's at the front and 215/45 16's at the rear
K-TEC Stealth exhaust system with a silenced decat
Induction kit (unsure of make)
RS Tuner remap
And the dreaded cambelt change :coldsweat:

Now ready for a full brake change

More to follow!

You need to black off your grills, it's letting it down especially with the bright yellow near it!

Expected someone to say that I too like the standard look but just wanted something a bit different.

It's my mates but it's only up the road and I can use it whenever so it is convenient :up:

Yeah definitely, it is on my to-do list along with the mirror trims. I do have the fog lamp surrounds finished in satin black so will do the same with the grill.

No particular reason, other than getting them for cheap. Though it does feel a lot more stable and less twitchy.
They also sit nicely.

for drifting obvs....

Obvs, why else

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't really get why you have wider tyres on the back unless rwd hero. But hey if it works crack on

 

[ChrisNineteenNinety]

It is unusual but it does work and I have no significant drawbacks
