grill looks spot on indeed mate, nice fit

how about some GB style number plates and clear side repeaters? or is that not sleeper?

ignore what other people think about sticking another lump in it. it's your car, your money. I just admire people's effort whether it's to my taste or not is a different thing :)
cheers mate, yea iv got a few little details to add like the clear side repeaters, definatly want some new plates, need some silvervisions for the back and new mats etc.

no probs, good luck with the project :)

Batman how do u manage to pay less insurance for a modded car with a 172 lump than u would for a standard 172? Thats makes no sense, something is wrong there.

Try virgin car insurance for the standard 172 quote :)
 
phoned k tec today, need some 172 hubs soon so that i can fit a 172 coilover package and some new brakes. anyone reccomend some good coilovers for a 172??
 
deciding on some wheels when i come up with the money for them. either some 15" Speedline Turini's in anthracite;

or 15" Team Dynamics Pro Race 2's in white;

Opinions ???
 
Update;
Right, after a lot of consideration I am going for the K4M lump 1.6 16v instead of the 2 litre F4R. Reasons for this being;
-If i went for the 2 litre engine I would want to go whole 9 yards. ITB's, possibly even turbo and this would cost a lot.In time i could afford it but I also have other things to think about such as a very special girlfriend, holidays etc. The 1.6 should turn out cheaper and I know there is limited reliable power available.
-Until i turn 21, I only want a quick car not something stupidly fast, so therefore the 1.6 should do me fine considering i was looking at VTR's. This gives me time to save till I turn 21 which is when i would like a Cooper S or something else German.
-I wanted to do this project over time. a lot of people advised me to do it all at once as all the hubs have to be changed etc. I can do the suspension, brakes etc on my car without too much hassle if i intend to put the 1.6 engine in later on.
So the plans are as follows;
New wheels and suspension at the end of the month;

Everything should be looking the way I want it then so it'll be time for the engine;
1.6 16v K4M
plans for the engine are; supersprint manifold, possibly BMC or another K&N, havnt decided on exhaust yet, either prospeed recessed or a stealth (custom), cat cams, RS tuning remap, see what angel works can do for inlet.
As for resale, I am sure not many people will be looking for a car like this so it wont sell. However my brother will have passed his test when I buy a new car; Clio goes to him...for a price ;)

cheers mate, i would love the real thing, a 172 or 182 but i think this will be a bit of fun while im at uni. and again if i bought a 172/182 id be stuck with it for a while and as i say i want to go German next.
