Winter Changes - the cups have gone!

[Topgeartom]

Couple of changes for the ph1 since most of you will have last seen it.

Had the cup spoiler for about a month now. Its made a big difference to the back end.

Picked up a brand new set of 1.2s from work at a price i couldnt refuse. Brand new tyres on them, so the cups can have a rest from the winter salt.

Pressed plates should also have been on for these pictures but Royal Fail have lost them, so its more waiting now.

I cleaned the car but took these halfway through a big old drive across the dales so it was already filthy.

Before:

After:

And a rather boring video i took from the drive.

Cheers
Tom

Looks good Tom.

I noticed you had black wheels the other day but i thought they was F1's

 

[Jordi17]

Nice, awesome wheels.

 

[Brookie.]

mate that looks awesome, but i've still got a soft spot for your cups
we need to get together soon, it's been a while.

i drove past you a few weeks back, gave you a wave...not sure if you saw me. you looked like you were driving to work.

 

[Fletcher]

Nice. TBH I prefered the ATS cups.

 

[Addz]

looks great to me

 

[Slammed172]

Love it mate, much prefer the 1.2's.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

That looks SO much better !

 

[.Gem.]

Looks very tidy that!

 

[Christophe]

[laz5758]

That looks sick Tom! We need to arrange a drive sometime mate! Holla back

 

[The Dark Knight]

I like both sets of wheels, are you keeping both sets?

 

[jamescolli]

Nice one Tom, the 1.2's really suit the 172

Might be on the hunt for a 172 soonish

 

[Harpham]

Love the sticker, have the same one on my car

Looks alot better IMO now aswell!

Btw, where have you ordered your pressed plates from?

 

[Edd]

I want a cup spoiler now!

 

[Topgeartom]

Cheers everyone.

I do rather like them but to answer the question the cups are still here and will be going back on when the weather gets nicer.

James - if you need a hand looking when your back over this way mate give me a shout.

The plates are coming from ebay via plate-mate.

Very nice.

Have fun on those tyres though. They came with my pro races, and are awful :dead:

Was expecting them to be complete arse, but ive been pleasantly surprised by them in the wet. Not had the chance to give them a run in the dry yet.

 

[Dave..]

Hmmmm, I always used to struggle with wet grip and wheel spin.

Can't spin my paradas in second anymore though since changing tyres

To be fair though, that wasn't normal road driving

 

[Davis]

i much prefer the new wheels, looks a lot better

 

[Topgeartom]

Just discovered from my photobucket stats page that the video i posted has 239 views from an unknown source, compared to 35 from cliosport. Bit concerned about that so ive taken it down.

 

[mphgoose]

Looking very nice mate, the cups were very cool though. Liking the photo style too, you must be handy with a camera or some photoshop software!

 

[.GAZ.]

Thank god, those cups are tragic! Looks a million times better now! Needs ph1 rear lights too.

 

[JD]

Prefer them Tom, being honest!

 

[Aluco]

I like it.

 

[Tigger]

I loved the other wheels TBH but it still looks good, those pics are class!
