Exclusive 172
It's currently a friends car and has just passed its mot too, all the belts done last year with receipts to prove...

Was thinking on a re spray until I found out its an exclusive...

What do people think? Should I keep it the same colour if I buy it?

 

[Mar172]

It would cost a lot for a good re spray , may be better putting the money into the right colour car with all the right bits .

 

[littlemissnaughty]

I thought that originally but now thinking new light weight alloys and coilovers...

 

[zeta]

Keep it OEM, can't be many of these left that haven't been bastardised. Looks like a clean example from the pic

​IMO ofcourse etc..

 

[Mar172]

What the condition of the car like ? Inside & out & service history , what colour wheels would you put on it ?

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Lots of service history....
Not seen inside yet but I'm told its in good condition....
Outside is in good condition too...

If I bought new alloys maybe a bronze colour? Mayyyyybe

 

[littlemissnaughty]

 

[Mar172]

Bronze would look ok stick some lower springs job done .

 

[Dave999]

Looks like a nice base. I quite like the colour

 

[Mr R.]

Coilovers, F1`s and a Cup spoiler. Job done.

 

[l33th3tr33]

Keep it as standard as possible, remove the sport badge and you've got a nice sleeper right there.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Coilovers, F1`s and a Cup spoiler. Job done.

Is the spoiler standard that's on it?

Is the cup spoiler a little more obvious?

 

[McGherkin]

Bronze alloys on an Exclusive do look nice.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Looks nice think I would go a touch darker on the alloys

 

[Flat Eric]

Bronze alloys on an Exclusive do look nice.

Utter filth!

I love exclusives!

 

[aucky]

I now wish I'd bought Andy@Birchown's. I love a good Scarab. It's like BRG but not lame.

 

[Jonjibbles]

Looks real nice! I was very tempted to buy one myself, ended up buying a ph2 instead yesterday

I've been looking at them also....

 

[Poopensharten]

I loved my Exclusive (the one above!) would happily have another

 

[Jonjibbles]

I've been looking at them also....

It's an aweful decision to have to make and never look after you've bought...it can hurt

 

[littlemissnaughty]

What is the difference in a cup spoiler?

 

[McGherkin]

It's a little bigger than a normal one.

 

[chaz1234]

Looks pretty decent car mate. That Number plate must be worth alot as well

 

[littlemissnaughty]

It's a little bigger than a normal one.

Still with a brake light?

 

[McGherkin]

Yeah, it's just got a slightly bigger 'flick' to it.

Then you have trophy/v6 spoilers which are slightly bigger again.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Ooooo I like.... Add that to my shopping list....

 

[peanuthead]

Yeah still has the brake light, make a big difference to the rear. Looks like a decent one, although not over keen on the bronze alloy idea

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Trying to think of a colour that would go with green....

 

[aucky]

Super flakey silver

 

[Flat Eric]

Call me stupid,

But what colours this?!

 

[Flat Eric]

Super flakey silver

+1!!!! Nothing beats fresh silver alloys!

 

[aucky]

+1!!!! Nothing beats fresh silver alloys!

Except anthracite. Fast points dontchaknow!?

 

[McGherkin]

Call me stupid,

But what colours this?!

Blue.

 

[Flat Eric]

Except anthracite. Fast points dontchaknow!?

True Dat! Although I sometimes wish my 182 wheels were silver

 

[Flat Eric]

Blue.

Monaco? Mondial? Can't tell in the picture

 

[aucky]

Scarab Green iirc

 

[Richyy182]

Buy it and keep it clean and standard. Awesome car.

 

[Spinksy]

Just to throw a spanner in the works.... aren't those Williams wheels on the exclusive above gold not bronze?

this one:

I would say gold would go with the shade of green better than 99% of colours...

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Buy it and keep it clean and standard. Awesome car.

Would keep it standard apart from coilovers and lightweight alloys....

I would always keep the original parts too to put back if needed.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Plus trying to avoid it looking like a Williams
