Love it!

Why oh why didn't renault do them in white from the factory?!

 

[Gaz_]

Loving that car as a whole

 

[Remedi]

You don't own s**t cars do you? lol

Looks stunning.

 

[geordieracer]

Was that the boot lock surround off ebay Rich?

Looks mint!

Would love to come and have a look at it next time I am home in the North East.

 

[GarethM]

[Josh220]

[DrR]

Looks mint, what exhuast is that?

 

[C.slicker]

Can you do something with those badges? I just don't think they work...

 

[JD]

looked superb at fcs, even better now lad

where did you source the cup spoiler from (or is it just painted matt black and if so how )

jamie

 

[Rich_16v]

The boot lock surround was from ebay 99p plus postage... £53 from reno

The exhaust is from AAS in newcastle, hand made not off the shelf so its quiet as a mouse with only a slight rasp under hard acceleration

Cup spoiler was bought new from Craig172 at the FCS then I had it painted in a matt finish to match the other plastics

 

[Da]

:approve: Top work fella!

 

[JD]

nice rich, how do they do that then? can you get a matt finish that is lacquered etc i presume?

 

[peter182]

stunnin

 

[DH_GTI]

nice !!!!

 

[harper1]

that is stunning, bet its a headturner.

loose the elf stickers tho?

 

[bradfincham]

Is white a colour that was standard? That looks the plums!

 

[JD]

no brad mate, should have been though

 

[Christopher]

perfection!

my favourite 172 ever.

 

[Bluebeard]

Friggin Awesome!!

 

[graham_172]

lovely motor

 

[philmots]

niceness! exhaust sounds a similar deal to mine

 

[John185k]

mint but badges look wrong imo

 

[KI8RKW]

I must be the only one to say this... But i really don't think the wheels suit the car. :O.

Everything else is perfect down to a perfectly shaped T. I just cannot get away with the wheels on this car.

 

[Ollie82.]

Gorgeous!

 

[len_beach]

Get the coilies on and the Dynamique spoiler back on and it will be exactly how you wanted it.

 

[Big Iain]

Yeah stunning and if keepin the badges move them down a tad imo

 

[RickyP]

The car looks fantastic!

 

[ukaskew]

Amazing car, only just discovered this! Read the full 25 pages of the original thread just now. Quite surprised at how cheap this project appears to have been as well.

Funny as reading all the opinions, 'this bit looks s**t', 'I would paint this bit, looks rubbish otherwise' etc etc (about 10 pages worth!), glad you've kept to your plan. Can't please all the people all the time, they should find the money/balls to do it if they feel that strongly

 

[gazbenger]

like the boot surround, not a fan of the matt black cup spoiler tho

 

[lemonnobby]

Looks mint mate i have one of them boot surounds on my toolbox at work lol.

 

[JR]

perfection!

my favourite 172 ever.

Gorgeous!

As above, looks spot on fella.

 

[Greeny.]

Spoiler works really well, not sure on the boot lock or arrow though. Apart from that its total sex

Now strip the b**ch, cage and bucket it!

 

[Djw John]

Just keeps improving!

 

[kully]

not bad at all , still too many black bits for my taste but still cool

I knew it wouldn't have been to everyones taste but I like subtle stand out cars that are 'different' but to most people it doesn't stand out at all which suits me fine

I'll defo be keeping the silver badges against the poverty spec black plastics otherwise it'll not look like a Cup Racer despite peoples anguish

[Benbosh]

I dont say this about many cars but your car looks awesome. I always loved white cars (first car ever was a white 106 s2 rallye) it is a lovely looking car the clio and in white it just sets it off a treat.

Well done that man!!
