Love the FRP, not a fan of the rat 172

cheers, its going to be porsche macadamia brown metallic.
She loves the puma mate, its a very good alrounder. She had a 106 gti before and it is abit quicker than that but the party piece on the frp's are the brakes and handiling. There amazing, You can really push them. Its only costing her £600 a year fully comp at 19 but for a 182 its £2000 which i really don't get. But yer it a great car. When you see one in your rear view mirror the stance looks awesome. The exhaust sounds great aswell, proper raspy with the crackels and pops on deceleration. We had a race yesterday with a random civic which had a b18 in and both on full throttle sounded insane. A must have car some point in your life.
Danny its far from finished yet mate, its a work in progress. Check my project thread.

Funnily you should say that Jamie they both suffer the same fate.
Both are up there with the best handling cars in the world but they sit high.
Nobody wants to touch Trophy suspension and according to FRp owners you have to spend k's to get anywhere near the handling while going lower, like bespoke suspension, rally style.
Off the shelf kits can't replicate the handling for some reason, similar to the sach dampers maybe?
That FRP sound gives me wood Tommy!

Best bet is to see if its been at pumabuild. I swear he pretty much remembers each one that comes in. Plus he datas/inspects each one that comes in. Ask for Alan.
Dan i work for a Daf truck dealership and on some of our models they came with the washer jets on the arms so i have one of those on my arm. Its a very stealthy mod which nobody spots

172 rep should be good when finished but I couldn't do the 'rolling around' in primer.

No worries mate. The first thing we did was took it down pumabuild and had the cambelt done. I think it was only £250 inc vat and parts. Well worth it for peice of mind and Alan does a full check over aswell.
Ah yes those pesky Alcons! My brother and Dad are both Ford master technicians.
Nothing is out of their league when it comes to Ford so they would be coming to look at it. It's also the reason for wanting to buy another Ford, makes sense.
I always said I couldn't have one as a daily and I didn't want finance or a loan again but the one i've seen has got me thinking big time!
Just waiting on another email back.

Sounds great mate youl have to keep me posted. If you get one make sure you get a miltek system.
Cheers Dave, well ive decided to get all of the work i wanted doing before i get the respray done. Im having my door popper fitted next wensday so i can fully smooth the drivers door. Im also having my non sunroof roof panel fitted and the ariel hole plated and filled. After that the rear arches are being flared and the petrol cap relocated and the fuel cap recess plated and smoothed. That work will all be done be latest setember. From then i will be saving for the respray.
