Recaro'd Monaco

[Gav0896]

I managed to pick up a couple of recaro seats and subframes from a few members from the forum so decided to get them put in today

seats look green on crappy iPhone but I can assure you they are grey and black

also recently installed my plasma dials put black 182 wheels on, went a bit mental with 3m di-noc and also had the car on the bodyshop to get rid of all the little parking dings.

not the best of pictures but it gives you an idea.

Cheers

Not bad, take it to a nice location to get some proper pics.

You like that carbon wrap stuff don't you.

CS sticker could do with coming down the window a bit, all you need to do then is throw the back seats out.

 

[Ltfcpaul]

lookin good! Monaco is such a nice colour!

 

[skatedemonuk]

carbon wrap stuff looks good how much it set u back for it?

 

[Impey]

looks nice fella.
How come tho you have a casset deck?

 

[Alan]

Some interesting contrasts there..

 

[Davis]

love the seats! i need some for mine!

[Sam]

Looks lush matey!

As above, why have you got a cassette deck ?

Sam!

Just been looking at some Accord seats on ebay. Which frames did you use? Look good mate, how you finding them?
Do always look green in pics, thought they were green. Need to see some in the flesh, you say they're grey and black...

It has a cassette deck and a multi changer under the passenger seat just thought that was standard on a 2002 172

Noice car, not a fan of those dials though.

That's what my '02' plate had as well..

 

[Tigger]

Looks great that, love the Di-noc bits too

Looks good, have you painted your RS grill, it looks darker than normal? you got any better pictures to show of?

Will get some better shots next weekend after it's had a proper clean

 

[Cookson]

Looks beauty

How much did you pay for the seats?

 

[Chrisjk]

My old seat looks good with a twin, glad your happy.

It certainly does mate, still convinced that there is a slight colour difference between the seats but im sure Ill deal with it

 

[ABOO]

Difficult to tell from pics, but passenger looks more green, driver more grey..

 

[Mr Pants]

Don't like the colour of the wheels in contrast to the Monaco.

Otherwise looks lovely.

 

[Jamesl172]

very nice, looks mint

It looks that way when your looking at them from the side but when you look at them straight on they are the same colour, if it gets to me im sure I can have one recovered for not too much money.

 

[Millen]

Very nice combination of mods mate. Like the black 182 wheels on this, not usually keen but they suit your 172 nicely.

 

[Rubicon_]

love the carbon inside!

Don't think so my 02 reg Monaco has a cd player and multichanger. Carbon touches look good but not sure I could live with those clocks.

I like it apart from the dials..they are minging.

+1 :approve:

 

[richy22]

I really will miss mine once its sold!

 

[jobac]

like it all, good work chap!

Dials look loads better when lit up. I agree they are a bit marmite and do look a bit cheap

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

well nice! cassettes ftw tbh! only 10p a pop compared to CD's at £14

 

[Ash87]

carbon bits looks good

I've never been impressed with the plasma dials.

You should do like mine (have a look at the pics I'm cars for sale section). Changing te LED colours is the way to go. Looks standard but 1000times better.

 

[Gav0896]

Tbh that's the plan. Have a spare climate control and clock/temp guage so going to get them done. Just want a spare set of clocks as I'm sending all the bits to someone else to change the LEDs as it's beyond my skills

thanks for all the other kind comments from everyone
