i think you should have the bump strips door ahndles and spoiler sprayed in black like the limited edition yellow fiesta ST looks better than just black plastic.

I'm defo sticking to the unpainted black plastics, i don't want the fridge on wheels look.
I can always tweek the final product by retro painting plastics but i prefer the unpainted look rather then glossy black
I would have a cup spoiler if they came in unpainted black plastic but for now i'm more than happy with the dynamique spoiler
Already got the new 45 profiles delivered Fred, I realised 50's are a better profile but i just hate seeing tyre wall (always has 205/40's on my turinis back in the day rather than 45's)
I work close to Robertshaw Racing so i'll be popping in there for inspiration
I'm getting the mirror casings painted white while is in the bodyshop but i'm debating getting a pair of unpainted black plastic manual mirrors off an 8v to keep up the black/white contrast
Won't be stripping it out, i've done that look before with a cage etc but now I do about 100 miles a day i need some comfort and toys
Should have it back from the bodyshop in tens days time (from yesterday) then a couple of days for me to put it back together
All the new bits will be ready and waiting to bolt on when i get it back so it'll be game on
nice one, its gonna look sh1t hot, great idea. The only thing i would change from the pic is having a white cup spoiler. but thats just a tiny thing, look forward to seeing it finished
this is gonna look amazing allways see a white 1.2 and ive been so tempted to get one and stick 172 bumpers on it its gonna look awsome white imo is the best colour for them.
Going to see the car in the bodyshop after work tomorrow as all the bonded glass was getting cut out today
Now to decide what colour to paint he calipers either black so they're not noticeable or blue the same as the writing on the Speedlines, probably black though... choices choices!
lol. Superb Rich. You dont hang about do you? A low mileage mint 172 stripped and reworked! Mental! Should look amazing when its done, and very original on the road
Thats exactly what I want something original yet subtle on the road, my old valver was like that and I loved it knowing i'd never see one the same anywhere
Wheels came from revolution.eu.com based in newcastle, I collected them so no postage costs plus I could inspect them rather than get them delivered and find one's marked or something
Tyres are Michelin Exaltos 195/45 from Costco
Don't think i'll be caging it to be honest as much as it will finish the look i do alot of miles and need comforts
