Alex_C, don't ask me how but i end up looking at photo's of your car everyday lol. Looking gorgrous mate! Hopefully how mine will look in a few months time.
Will look better if you get RS wings skirts etc, I personally can't justify it for what the car is to me, from the condition of the car at the moment and money spent. With next year deciding the future in my life regarding finance for the next 5 years and beyond, the car is a lost hope for me if I'm honest.
And for the love of God, call me Curtis.
Did you buy the car like it, or have you had most of it done yourself? Love the fact it looks like it's had alot of time and effort into making it how it is today - most wouldn't bother due to it being a 1.2
And yeah have wanted RS wings from the start, just means it won't be happening as quickly as i'd like it too!
Bought the car kinda how it is, pretty sure I've bought, in order:
New battery
CF wrapped washer blanks
Engraved gear knob insert
172 Spare
New set of washer blanks unpainted
Full 182 Artic Bumpers/Wings/Skirts
New drivers side Xenon unit (current is cracked)
Set of 25mm spacers
Rear alcantra interior (just need fronts)
Carbon splitter
Cup splitter (hopefully on saturday afternoon if plans go well)
Turini's (With a full set of T1R's is afternoon)
Ofcourse, needs the front door cards and new dash to finish off the interior minus some nice seats. In need of spraying of doing something atleast with the inserts/grilles etc as they're fading. Might slap some 10% or so tint on the headlights, just to make them a touch darker. I got a quote for £940 (£1140 including parts I sourced) to get the exterior how I want it.
Needs a coil pack aswell, as the current one is nackered lol.
I can rant all day...
There's more to the list than that, just can't remember everything lol.
The car is a bogo expression model dude, so bottom half is grey, and the top half has holes in it, tweeker pod missing and terrible aligning centre vents etc. Entire new dash in and sorted. Was looking to fibgreglass a V6 style gear knob tunnel but, unsure if it's feasible or worth it.
I got the car 2nd of October last year, done approx 1800 miles now!
Passed my test September the 19th yeah, first car.
Coilies are great, Adam and Riad know about them in roundabouts lol.
Personally think it's a right mess but never mind.
It may very well be a mess in your opinon, but it looks lovely in the photo's lol.
I'm after a 172 as quickly as I can tbh dude lol.
Thats not normal Riad, thats shopped to f**k!
