Monaco Blue 172's...

[SteveS Cup]

Hi Everyone.

Since there's a fairly large possibility that my Cup is going to get written off I'm looking at FF 172's as I still don't like the twin exhausts on the 182's and it does seem silly to mess about putting a 172 rear bumper on with a steal box.

I've seen a few relatively cheap, very low mileage Monaco Blue 172's for sale.

Can these be made to look great??? All the ones I've seen are bog standard so I'd be very keen to see some nice examples that have been lowered (prefferably on Turini's) with say a Cup splitter.

I love the Blue of my Cup but then I think I'd prefer the Luxury's and ABS of the FF!!!! (I'm a bit shaken up by the accident and although I don't blame the non ABS I think it would help relax my mind! lol).

Is Icelandic Silver just plain Silver??? As I've seen a few pics and they almost look like a Blue / Silver??? Similar to my old Avus Silver TT.

I'm not sure if a plain Silver would do it for me... If there was a more blue/silver then I'd be happy!

 

[SteveS Cup]

I need some inspiration for the FF's and a bit of cheering up TBH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Si]

any excuse...

 

[SteveS Cup]

Ah! Looks amazing when polished up!

You don't deserve one after that remark. Philistine.

They're lovely as standard, maybe on some anthra/black/silver wheels with a decent drop.

1) No such thing a 172 FF. It's just 172 and 172Cup.

2) It's Iceberg Silver. Not Icelandic.

But yeh, they can look great. Same as any car if you spend the money on it.

 

[Fletcher]

Best colour for the 172 IMO.

 

[Brett]

Monaco's the best colour. I hated it at first but i've really changed my mind lately.

 

[TimR26]

Best colour for the 172 IMO.

Knowsit

They look great in standard form

 

[Nick172Cup]

Best colour for the Mk1 Clios IMO. Mondial Blue for the Mk2's

 

[bmh.01]

Monaco is a mint colour full stop, only that and flame that i'd really consider for a 172. Still miss mine at bit tbh :dapprove:.

Someone one here still has it (or did).

 

[123stevevw]

Monaco is THE colour to have

 

[dannybmate]

^^^ totally agree!!!!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Tiggers and Si's are cracking.

 

[Alexander]

Best colour for the 172 IMO.

Yep.

 

[brucey106]

lol... I've seen a girl driving one locally to me and it's dropped about 40mm i'd say. It does look stunning, but then in adverts they look a bit dull.

I do apologise! And stand corrected! lol.

 

[Slammed172]

Oh go on then; bluey/silver. Quite a lot different to standard Titanium silver on the 182's.

In that case, save yourself £4k and pull the girl.

Meh, what does he know. He drives a Saxo.

Is that Iceburg?

 

[the_prophet]

yep the actual best colour....

 

[jez4130]

Love my Iceburg but, I was thinking about selling up for a monaco recently, and I still am. An old granny drives one by me, looks awsome! except for the granny driver..

 

[liamjinx blue clio.]

bit bigger.........???

 

[legohead01]

i have one of these. and would like to ask whats the best wax to use. as its a new year and would like to try somethin new

 

[Revels]

I like all the 172 colours. Understated but stylish.

I think you'd be happy with any, but you did have the best colour with your Cup..

 

[jordan172]

my girlfrinds old one, should have bought it off her really

 

[m0ssy]

Mine from last years FCS...

Plenty more pics if you look through my old posts.

Cheers

I use victorias concours wax.

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/victoria-wax/victoria-wax-6oz-concours-wax/prod_234.html

also started using a few layers AutoGylm EGP before the wax. dedication to shine is a must. lol.

 

[beatjunkie]

Mossy wins hands down, just looks the nuts!

 

[matts-clio]

Where are you from? seen a damaged blue 172 cup local to me and my missus drives a monaco 172 private plate N11 BAT

live in knighton / presteigne powys

 

[SteveS Cup]

Nah... I live in Surrey... South of London.

 

[SteveS Cup]

Mossy yours is stunning. I'm torn between Iceburg and Monaco now

My GF gets worried when I start looking for specific colours / specs... that's when you have to drive 5 hours to get one!!!! lol... (I drove 4 1/2 hours to get my Cup and 4 hours to get my TT as it was the colour scheme I wanted!)

So it'd be nice for a change to buy a car reasonably local.

 

[DMS]

Iceberg = best colour

Mine after a wash and a layer of Dodo Juice "Light Fantastic" just as the night was drawing in:

My old one, I miss it!
