  Audi TT 225
Any 1.2 owners wanna sawp front ends with my 172? Bet thats hours of fun... put a different colour door on it... and opposite wing another colour. and steel wheels! then go make the big cars look silly ;)

lol the car was a category d when i bought it and theres still a big scuff on the bumper.lol i would have kept my steelies but they wont fit over my brakes now!lol
 
  Audi TT 225
bummer steelies would have been awesome, leave the scuff in the bumper too
And if anyone asks what you done to it say eco-tek and some cheep brand of air filter ;)
 
Mint, I love this, see if you can find some steelies that will go over the brakes, get a tartan rug on the parcel shelf, national trust sticker and you will be away, ultimate sleeper.

Downgrade to the stock old setup that will go round 14's or else get some 15's all Mk2 phase 2 use them as spare and a few use them as normal wheel i think with trims.

Thats sounds just like Matts TT was. Made a resaonable hot topic on seatcupra when it only had a its 172 engine with cams etc and pulled from one on the motorway. They'd have had a real shock when it had the turbo engine fitted.
 
I love it!!! It reminds me of a freind of mine used to have a e36 bmw with a m3 engine.

It had 316 on the back and had granny alloys on it and it was always dirty and battered (completly standard).

He made grown men in subaru's and porsches cry!!! :cry:

After he them beat they looked like this= :eek:
 
  RB 182
Love it! Its always been an ambition of mine to have a sleeper, started with a 1.2 Nova with a 2.0 Turbo under the bonnet!

Stay away from me!
