Could someone please P-shop my wheels bright red...

Cheers

Nick172Cup · Oct 1, 2009

Dont do it! Would look terrible with the standard 172 wheels! Turinis on the other hand would look sweet!

Though in all seriousness to pull off a bright in your face colour its needs to be multi spoke kind of wheels instead of chunky wheels as it looks a bit too OTT!

Ali · Oct 1, 2009

Winter/track wheels. BTW do the std rims fit over the 4pots...

Yep, knowing me i'd never get around to fitting them anyway.

Nick172Cup · Oct 1, 2009

See if they fit, if they fit get them on for winter as they are so you can get the turinis painted for next year

Winner winner to me!

Feirny · Oct 1, 2009

Thanks mate, i'm not keen though

I think i need to go red turinis with lunar grey TBH :approve:

Ian · Oct 1, 2009

Turinis definitely work better in red.

Finally another fan of Lunar Grey (although I dont think you really need to change from silver to grey to make the red wheels work).

That looks mint, though the red is very viscous.

Yeah, iceberg silver and lunar grey aren't a million miles away.

Yes, fook knows what colour red that is, candy apple maybe?

Feirny · Oct 1, 2009

Yeah something like a candy apple, it's a nice colour though.

No not done it yet, i'm going to wait until it's a track **** before i do it.

Nah...besides change of plan now mate, the 172 will be going back to standard in the very near future.

TimR26 · Oct 2, 2009

Why? So your not going to turn it into a track car.

Fletcher · Oct 2, 2009

atouba said:

Nope...It's going to be a daily driver.

Nick172Cup · Oct 3, 2009

R26R? Selling the H&R's?

I can't afford a R26.R mate, bloody extension

More then likely going to get a 172 cup/ph1 and strip it out, taking all the parts of my 172 and turning that into a daily driver.

Something like 197gaz's old cup

Nick172Cup · Oct 3, 2009

Fair play matey, start with an easier base and in the best colour for the RS (mondial blue)

Yes mate, i do like mondial blue. Just got to find a tidy example now.

Nick172Cup · Oct 3, 2009

Tidy, what for? If your going to turn it into a track car getting a minter would be pointless I think.

Jamie · Oct 3, 2009

Spend the respray money on mods.

Car looks really nice as it is Sunny Jim.

Well not a minter, but something half decent around the 3.5/4k mark

What made you change your mind?

Well the GF was going to more the likely get a Fabia VRS, she now quite fancies having the 172 back as her 'daily driver' instead...

Also TBH i don't really fancy stripping the 172 to within a inch of it's life as i/we quite like the luxuries

That frees me up quite a bit of cash to turn another 172 (hopefully cup) into a fast road track **** moving over the.
H&R's
4-pots
Maxogen etc.

Nick172Cup · Oct 3, 2009

Seems a good idea to me! You can get a half decent cup for like 3k now, get on with it!

TimR26 · Oct 3, 2009

You should get an induction setup like Nick's and sell the maxogen to me

Nick172Cup · Oct 3, 2009

Tim has a point! Money to be made there Fletch for Bimarcos

I've already got some money set aside for the seats

TimR26 · Oct 3, 2009

Fletch, before turning her back into a daily driver you need to track it once.
