well basically guys im in two minds weather to mod my 172 at all,as the exhaust is the only mod,but if i do i wouldnt mind it slightly lower and also im looking to respray my wheels again soon,now do i go silver again or do i go black?

oh and can i see some piccies of some f1 cups in different colours if poss on a black 172?

cheers guys

 

[JR]

Imo a touch lower and job done.

 

[drhowser]

i'd keep yours standard looking russ, to be honest. slightly lower agreed. but it's a great sleeper as it is!

 

[tedgeuk]

coilys and get ya wheels refurbed in white

 

[Nick_P]

Do your wheels in anthracite so then i can decide whether to do mine.... and drop it a bit

 

[Russ_16v]

well i think im taking ur advise on the suspension from justin (cheers matey ) so suspension will be the clio's fave spring set lol

im not sure on the wheels thought guys?

 

[TeZ]

i think white and Low.

Eibach's or apex then ?

 

[Russ_16v]

Eibach's all the way mate,just waiting till i have enough spare cash for a set of new front shockers,(saving for a house) im gonna chance using the rears it has atm as they were genuine new ones 30k ago

 

[JR]

Should look good

 

[Russ_16v]

cheers matey

i dont wanna stray too far from std though,as i love it really,iv got a new passat 170bhp diesel this weekend that i borrowed from work and though its lovely and got all the toys,i miss my clio thats sat all alone at work



wonder if she's lonely

 

[Ben.]

i say standard

 

[Russ_16v]

it is tempint,oh god i dont know grrr

 

[Ben.]

lol...im the same, not sure if i should start to modify my car...but its an easier decision for me as mine is a 1.2

i think yours looks great standard

 

[Russ_16v]

cheers mate i always love hearing good comments about her

how long are you keeping her for? if its a good few years then yeah mod away,but if not then save your money mate and spend it on a faster car,take it from someone who has learnt the hard way lol

this is why modding is so hard,because i like owning a near enough std 172

 

[drhowser]

if you want to see what it looks like with white wheels, i've a set of 2118's in the garage. not quite the same admittedly, but should give you an idea?

track wheels matey?

id love white wheels but id never keep them clean lol

 

[drhowser]

thats the ones! got some sick tarmac tyres on too!
if you're set on colouring yours, then it's got to be anthracite imo. might be cool to go a bit lighter than most seem to?

 

[Russ_16v]

ha lol fair play matey!

thats spooky because i was thinking maybe a slightly lighter shade,but i just cant make me mind up,i like black wheels,my old clio hybrid i did the wheels black and on my old golf vr6 i did too,but i cant make my mind up with the 17poo,iv never had a prob deciding before so god knows why im worrying now lol

 

[drhowser]

i've got these i'm waiting to refurb too. but for me any darker would be too dark.
but then, thats the fun of modding your car i guess.....

 

[Russ_16v]

so thats your road wheels i guessing matey?

 

[drhowser]

they will be, once i get them re-furbed. on super t's at the moment.
i think she looks evil on the enkei though!

 

[Russ_16v]

lol yea does look well sweet!

im quite sad tho,as i love the look of the f1s,i just need to pick the right colour grrr lol

 

[drhowser]

definately stick with the f1's. the only other wheels i like on the ph1's are the ultraleggra's, and there isn't that much difference.

how about a satin finish light gray?

 

[Russ_16v]

hmmm think that will be ok with the black paint mate? im open to all suggestions

 

[drhowser]

no idea to be honest! lol. you any good with photo shop?

 

[Russ_16v]

nope lol bloody rubbish,can anybody shop me my pic on the 1st page of this thread and give me an idea what my wheels would look like in dark grey and black pretty pls?
