[shaun172mk1]

[cat171]

Nice one Martin - great deal you got there

 

[Jonaldinho]

Nice buy Martin. Just be carefull with it!

Its amazing how you feel the leash has taken off when you go 1.2 to 2.0.

I was far too cocky to begin with!

 

[VIICarCare]

Lucky bugger! well done luv

 

[KI8RKW]

You lucky what not! I cannot even get 1500 on my 1.2 under the same circumstances. I must live in the f**king ghetto lmao.

 

[adrian182]

good choice on car mate drive careful. 1500 pounds bet thats on ur dad insurance?

 

[Inodaz]

did you ring them upto get the tpf&t quote, as i am 18 too and have been saving for a 172, but they wont give me a quote for the tpf&t as they dont recommend it.

 

[R20 CWH]

guid stuff martin well done chief

 

[Ali]

That is a bloody good quote...Surprised they do 3rd party for your age and on a grp 16 car!

Enjoy.

 

[Martin_172]

yeah i rung them up for it, and they were fine with it, no laughing at me, infact the guy on the phone was brilliant.

and nope thats not on my dads name, car and policy in my name with only my mum as a named driver as it brought it down £500, probably if i had payed it monthly it wud have been £2300 ish

 

[Giles]

nice one

enjoy your insurance bills lol

 

[tommyboy]

at 18 that's a good price mate!

I'm 20 and my Leon Cupra R is £1300.

 

[Martin_172]

just had the coilover'd 1.2 out and now im thinking am i making the right descision? the wee thing just went round a bend at 110 then slowed to 70 for a roundabout lol with the exhaust poping and banging.

im not sure im doing the right thing now!

 

[Djw John]

Once you.ve coilover'd the 172 it'll do the same!!

 

[Martin_172]

think its staying standard (who am i kidding! lol) although i love my 1.2 its really been a waste of money when i think i could have probably bought the 172 in cash if i had saved the money i spent modding!

 

[Djw John]

Yeah true, but when your modding its a little cash each month, buying a 172 means a whole lot of cash straight off!

 

[Martin_172]

yeah lol, might try and promise myself i can only mod it if i pay it off early!

 

[Jay Payne]

i said that about mine, but a set of eibach's and a ktec stealth have already found there way onto it

 

[Djw John]

yeah lol, might try and promise myself i can only mod it if i pay it off early!

yeah yeah

 

[172boost]

Put the 172 on eibach sportlines and it will muller your 1.2

 

[Martin_172]

thinking of getting them just to drop it slightly and firm it up a bit, but want to put 15's on it like the 1.2 because i hate the handling on 16s but dont want to ruin the looks! because 15s only look good when its slammed.

without 15s and firmer dampers its never going to handle like the wee 1.2 lol

might look into H&R or Bilstein coilovers

 

[Andy1.2]

any pics of your car mate?

 

[Martin_172]

172 or 1.2?

 

[Andy1.2]

172 or both!
