The SatinGrey 172s final ride

[ElkWorks]

With no job, no prospects on the horizon, and the wife on maternity leave, money coming in is pittence, so the clios gotta go. With mot and tax looming, i just cant afford to keep it, so im breaking it for parts, full list will be up soon. But thought i would go out and get some proper photos of it before it gets stripped.

Been a funny year of ownership with plenty of ups and downs.....

As i got it in all its chavvy glory

Soon wrapped white and red

then, a more sublte white and black, and a massive whack of cash spent at BTM making it sing properly

before going back to Monaco and losing the chopped springs

that was on the isle of man, having a great weekend visiting my folks, and thrashing the car

then i dropped it on coilovers, and got some spacer action

Then it was satingrey time, something i had been promising myself for about six months

and the final photos from today.

Jesus that thing changed colour more times than chameleon on a rainbow Looked good in the white though. Was they just wraps? How much did that cost to get done?

 

[ElkWorks]

cheers guys

yeh, just wraps

im learning how to do it as a hobby. done a few cars, but i can only afford shittier films atm, so the quality aint as good

if i use proper films, it comes out proper!

Shame that you have to sell mate but needs must. Car looks stunning. Great choice of colour too. Good luck.

if you do end up breaking it, i see you have some alcantara interior parts in the pictures, PM with what you have?

 

[ElkWorks]

[BREMBO]

Never seen this before, very smart!

 

[ElkWorks]

cheers dudes

went out in it last night for a proper final drive, through cannock chase, at 11.30pm, no traffic. god i rememberd how much fun this can be.

now trying to see if theres anyway i can keep it as an un-roadlegal track car. then just rent a trailer for track days.

id still save on mot, tax, and insurance, and be able to sell a load of the parts i dont need.

 

[Bobby.]

Loving the colour mate. I thought u would get a decent price for that as car just because of the exclusive colour...

Not a fan of the blended/filled front bumper it jut looks odd.
