Slight Image Change for my 172!

[MARK A]

When I bought my 172 off of Danny it had been treated to some racing blue badges and dash strips and I have never been 100% sure about them. They looked a little strange and it seemed most people either loved them or hated them. They did seem to draw a lot of extra attention to the car and I was always a little woried about leaving it in certain places. This prompted me to go a little steath! I've colour-coded all of the badges and interior strips to match the body and have painted the previously scuffed centre caps the same colour too. I know this doesn't sound a lot but it has given the car a much more subltle look that I'm hoping will stop it standing out quite so much! I also needed to give the car a little personal touch of my own. The blue bits were Danny's blue bits! Sorry to take them away mate

Looks like the arse is about to fall out of your exhaust centre section though. lol

 

[TJ182]

Probably looks better in real life but the badges seriously need to be silver. Dont liek the wheels etiher but up to you...

[Christopher]

awesome

matt black callipers needed!

nice work mark

 

[MARK A]

Guess the calipers will have to be next I'm glad PPl like it, I wasn't quite sure if it would be better, the 'blue bits' were cool but the black is much more what I like, nice and subtle! I think the Zorst is fine, just sits a bit low, I'll check it tomorrow though

 

[GinandGasoline]

all black looks good..... a git to keep clean though!

 

[lewisniven]

god that looks awesome, wanna swap? hehe.

[Neil G]

That looks great.....wish my car was black now.

 

[MARK A]

That looks great.....wish my car was black now.

I spend an hour and a half cleaning it yesterday. Drove 3 miles down the road, went through a puddle, now it's filthy again! It's not all good having a black car

 

[Englebert]

Glad you changed the badges as that was the only thing i thought spoiled it.

I used to own a black car and they just look so good when clean.....problem is they do show the dirt so much

I own a silver 172 now so can get away with being slack a bit more when it comes to cleaning it.

 

[DebV6]

Looks great, love it!

 

[young_lew]

Fooking sexual

LOVE IT!!!!

i like 172's for the fact they look like sleepers anyway, but this one is awesome

 

[Jayb 172]

love the all black look

 

[MARK A]

I think there's a fine line between subtle and boring! My Dad has a silver 172 that's standard and it looks a bit naff really. I think the cup spoilers and Turini's are a must! The fact mine sits lower helps with the look of agression! The 40 profile Yoko's look way better than my dads 45 profile Toyo's too, they're like tractor tyres! I wanted the car to look special but not stand out too much! It's a tricky balance!

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice

 

[Adamhodg]

Very stealthy love it!

Just checked it and all is fine, although it does look a bit funny from the side. The centre box does run level to the floor and then the rear pipe has to go up and over the rear beam. This is why it looks odd! The angle of the sill doesn't help!

 

[MARK A]

Glad you changed the badges as that was the only thing i thought spoiled it.

Even did the nose badge too!

 

[GinandGasoline]

smoked side repeaters would look cool too

You can hardly call 45 profile tyres tall lol...TBH 40 profile tyres must compromise the ride and these days with more and more potholes everywhere I wouldn't risk it.
