What todo with £150 for modding

[ChavyBoy]

Have some spare cash by chance and wondered what to do on my car with it ?

Should I get it lowered or not ?????
Mesh out the front Grill ???

What other mods can I do for £150 ? I know not much but any ideas what I can do to make my baby look a little different ?

 

[JillyB]

Im being lowered for £160 (hopefully)

Ill lend you a tenner Chavy

 

[MarkB]

Can I borrow a tenner too Jilly??

 

[ChavyBoy]

You are so sweet.... Bless but maybe I can afford the £10... Bless your little cotton socks....

 

[Glennclio16v]

For £150 i would definately be getting it lowered!! Youll be surprised how much better it looks and rides!
Money well spent!

 

[ChavyBoy]

Cheers Glenn,

Actually does anyone know how much the Mesh grill on the 172 costs to do ?

 

[telford_mike]

Stick to things that work. Lower it!!

 

[VX-Tony]

But lower by how much ?
(might cost more that the £150 if you tell your insurance co)

 

[OutKa5t]

Like I said at the weekend mate - Lower it

 

[JillyB]

My insurance is going down £32 when i lower it, but then i think my insurance company is on drugs

 

[Roamer]

Yeah get it lowered

Unfortunately my insurers (Renault) hammered me when I got mine done though, charged me £105 quid until june 24th next year! gits....

Now theyre gonna get me for the exhaust as well...... I will defo be looking for a new insurer next year

 

[VX-Tony]

JillyB - going down ? Who do you insure will - do tell !!

 

[JillyB]

Direct Line - its a mistery

 

[JillyB]

*mystery

Actually does anyone know how much difference if any a strut brace will make to the 172, I suspect you would only feel it on the track though ?

 

[Nick Read]

Definitely get it dropped Ivan. 35mm will do nicely although I dont know if you can get -35mm springs off the shelf. Get some better shocks later.

Alternatively, for 150 notes you could get LED washer jets, a Motorsport sunstrip, Viper stripes, LED valve caps, and a stick-on bonnet vent.

 

[ChavyBoy]

Nick the last set of accessories sounds sweet.

LED washer jets here I come

And the Vipers strip are a must

 

[Rick]

Those motorsport sunstrips have got to be worth at least another 10bhp!!!

Rick

 

[ChavyBoy]

And the LED washer jets ?

 

[RM172]

Get it sprayed Silver.

Nice one ivan..... modding time
Definately lowered!!!
then go to bank and get a £5000 loan and go loony on mods!!! 19s, custom exhaust, engine mods, sound system, a few bits for bodywork to make it not loo too high on the 19s then finish with a flip paint.
should hopfully come within budget, if not go get more.

 

[ChavyBoy]

JamesG the RED 172 comes with a flip paint work

CB,

150 notes cos a long way towards a NOS kit, you could get most of the piping and the tank, then next month get the solenoids....

Oh and the tiny little NOS sticker on Ursulas Skirt will make her look ultra cool! (especially cos its not there just for show like on many cars )

 

[Mav]

PS cos = goes to people in the real world

Ivan,

Why not pop into JJB Sports and get yourself some white trainers and tracksuit bottoms ..£70??

Then into H Samuels for a gold chain..£25

TKMax for some sh*tty ill-fitting jumper and huge logo on the front £50

You have £5 left for a big Mac meal or a baseball cap.

Looking like a t**t £150

Having a decent car in the first place..priceless!!

See ya Sunday. m8y
