[Jekyll]

Ill be looking doing that to my ph1. Not a lover of the original wheel tbh.

 

[Harpham]

^ standard with a Snappy retrim FTW. (That's my plan anyway)

 

[Jekyll]

I just don't like the standard wheel Paul. I still want to keep it renault themed but with a better wheel.

If/when I get my ph1 that is! Lol

 

[Djw John]

I'm going to get my sabelt retrimmed in leather at some point.

 

[welshname]

Do it. Jenic did his trophy one and it looked superb.

 

[Jekyll]

John, get some pics up when you do if you don't mind?

 

[Djw John]

It'll be next year now but yeah will do. Any spare cash is going into the caged shell we've got

 

[nobblebonce]

love the front of the ph1's

[robmuns]

Its a sabelt wheel think Renault Wolverhampton on here (Adam) do them for about £150 but I got mine second hand

Looking at all these silver ph1s I think I prefer colour coded side strips. Ph1 strips that is, not ph2.

 

[daveski]

Phase 2 side strips ftw

 

[barnesautos]

@Dr Jekyll. I can't have any face lift bits on mine . I've always liked colour coding bits.

 

[Djw John]

Phase 2 side strips ftl

Fixed that for you

 

[Mr R.]

Looking at all these silver ph1s I think I prefer colour coded side strips. Ph1 strips that is, not ph2.

You have no taste.

Im lost for words.

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, at least colour coding ph1 strips on a ph1 is better than putting ph2 strips on? C'mon you got to give me that! Lol

 

[welshname]

It is. But it's still broken.

 

[Mr R.]

Leaving it alone and allowing the black to brake up the sliver is even better.

Its not a PH2.

OME us where it's at.

 

[daveski]

Better not post any photos of my car in this thread....

 

[barnesautos]

^---- lol

 

[Djw John]

I like you, you'll go far.

 

[Adamm.]

Ph1 strips if you want them to stay plastic, ph2 strips if you want colour coded. That's how the cool people do it anyway.

 

[Rob]

Ph2 colour coded strips are 100% win.

 

[Mr R.]

Ph2 colour coded strips are 100% win.

You know nothing.

 

[daveski]

Ph2 colour coded strips are 100% win.

Finally someone with some sense in this thread!

 

[Mr R.]

Guys its not 2002 where you couldn't afford to buy a ph2 so tryed to made your ph1 look like a ph2. Flol

 

[daveski]

I'm not trying to make my phase 1 look like a phase 2.

Colour coded > black plastic

 

[Jonathan]

For me the ability to code the 2.0 badge nicely on the PH1 side strips is the main issue for using PH2. On a similar note has anyone done smoothed PH2 bullets with 2.0 16v decals (as spray shack sells) but in the PH1 font ? that would look nice I think.

 

[Rob]

I was a ph1 owner before you even knew what one was

It's not trying to make something look like something, the ph1 strips are utter pov spec off of a standard 1.2 8v or whatever, the smoother, far more modern, and far more in keeping with the styling of the car ph2 strips look so much better it's unreal.

It's the shape that's vastly superior, oh, and the badges, none of this colour coded lark though, just original proper silver badges. Lovely.
