Duffman's (Dark) Chocolate Orange 172 (Long Running Project)

[Duffman_172]

Oh and I forgot to add this one, not to everyones taste but he was a legend and should be remembered!!

I also thought I would post some video links to my Santa Pod runs at the weekend, weather could have been better but a good result as my 15.3010 was enough to beat my mates best time of 15.4040 in his Saxo. Running commentry thanks to mine and my mates missus lol

Average was 92mph mate, my mates average was 89mph

Need some matched inlets, panel filter and a re-map before I go down again and see how much difference it makes!

92 is pretty good like. Last time I went I was averaging 14.9 at 91mph. I only hit 92 once..
Did you have your full interior in?

No mate, rear was completely stripped, even down to the spare wheel being removed.

91mph is not a bad speed to be hitting the end of the strip at to be fair!

Cheers mate, the camera I have is not very good so had to use my Iphone (which is also crap) so yeah they really don't do it justice, really happy with how they came out after spraying them myself.

Need to get the rear diamond done now and finish the Clio badge and that will be the rear sorted!

 

[liam172cup]

are you going to do the diamonds in the centre caps orange?

Looks nice but the badge on the front and the bullets look a little ott. I would do the badge black along with the bullets. Paint the 2.0 16v part orange.

I am watching some wheels in the style I want on Ebay so shall see how that goes, if I don't win them then I know someone who will refurb and spray my wheels for cheap so may get them to do it instead!

I am toying with the idea of changing them but I must admit I do like the colour and the way it looks!!

Good read that mate.
I've just got a set of 182 wheels, so my orange ones are gonna come up for sale soon.
I'll PM you when i've got a bit of time to clean em and take some better photos.

Lovely orange finishes inside. Not a fan of the wing mirrors though!

How much was the steering wheel re-trim by the way mate? I need mine done!! Also was it hard getting the backing out of the dask to colour it?
