no i only picked the plates up on thursday and fitted them over the weekend. Wont be on track untill middle of June, there not going to be as effective as the race car ducts becasue they are flush with the bumper, but at speed air should travel through and hit the calipers. I wont be able to tell how good the cooling is as i havnt been on track with the 4 pot set up before.
I dont have the dimensions to hand, next time i jack the car up ill try and rememeber to measure them.

i obviously know they differ from 172's due to the zaust etc.... not sure between early and late ones....etc etc....thats too in depth lol.
i just found it interesting that it looks like its been welded in yet the pattern on the boot floor matches everywhere....
can you still get the tow eyes dave?

Car is now fully stripped and taken all the tar out ... except for the bit on the roof, will tackle that one day.
random picture of rear bump stops from today,
Fitted my rear race car tow eye, didnt have a chance to cut the black plastic strip before it rained. will do that tomorrow.
(thanks to ben_P for the M16 nuts and washers!)

I was getting annoyed with the BTB exhaust as it looked a mess and i needed new mounts so i took it all off when my decat arrived yesterday and cleaned it up.
New parts, 2 rear mounts, decat, manifold to cat fit kit and cat to centre section clamp + hot paint!
Im going to refer to this as doing a "paul", im not proud that i have painted an exhaust but it looks much better and tidyer. I also did NOT clean every little part under the car!

nice work, looks tidier, i painted the rear part of the backbox as it was slightly visable, i painted it black so it hides it.

Am I missing something when it comes to 2118s? Why do people go for them? Do they offer some sort of handling advantage because I would have thought the standard 16s with 45 profile tyre would give less tyre roll and better handling?
