Tbh the alloys only cost me £50 with 6mm tyres so I refurbed them and they look sweet. I'm not bothered about the xenons. If some come up I'll grab them. If nowlt it's not a big deal but thanks for looking [emoji106]
So.... I've owned this since May. Here is how it was before and after.
Before
After
I've still got some bits to do and buy. But I think it's coming along well.
Exterior requires :-
172/ 182 arch liners
40/40mm lowering springs
Mechanically requires :-
Clutch
Starter motor...
I just got a call from CPW and they said that my iPhone 6 is being delivered to their store tonight and I can go pick it up first thing but I was warned to expect a long wait.
Mate I done the exact same with my bullet. I painted them the same colour as my wheels then painted the lettering by hand with a small brush with the caliper paint that I used. All they need is a heavy coat of lacquer now.
I went and bought some 1500, 2000 and 2500 grit wet and dry because the small little ones you get the pack are shite. I went over mine with a halfords basic compound first two times then with the one provided two times aswell. Come out awesome. I just need to buy some sealant for it now.
So I thought I'd share with you guys the progress that I have made and show you where I am at now. Tomorrow I shall be jetting off but whilst I'm away my 1.2 will be getting a full resprayed with the dents pulled out if not filled. The 182 body is being done also.
Its pointless attaching...
I use to work for a main dealer in Romford and when motablilty cars are at the end of their three year lease they usually come back battered. They only thing that motability can do is not pay them a potential £100 congratulations for not f**king the car up. Either way this will get repaired by a...

Well its a 172 rep / whatever I like lol. The alloys were a cheap steal. £50 off gumtree. All they needed was a refurb and there they are. The bullets were fiddley to do but they will look even more awesome with a decent coat of lacquer on it. No interior mods as of yet I wanna get the...
Im putting the 172 body kit on it with those refurbed 17s. Tbh all I'm doing is cheap small mods just to make it look good. We'll in my opinion good. The body kit is being sprayed and the whole body is being painted with a fresh coat of colour and lacquer whilst I'm on holiday to revive the...
Right I have/had a thread about my 1.2s progress but it reached the image attachment limit. So I took it upon myself to create an image shack profile purely to upload picture for you guys. Please share and like all you want.
cheers :rasp:

Right so this us the first post on a while. Today I started to restore my headlights. They are all smooth. Now I need to buy a cutting compound. Any advice what works well ? I also got my calliper paint delivered. I shall pain the callipers tomorrow but I though I'd share my bullets. The grey...
yeah I know it's cheap but Peugeot are cheaper and they have better keys lol. that shouldn't be an excuse for renaults lack of design. I doesn't really matter I was just wondering if there was any MOD's.
Right lads,
I'm posting this as I had a thought.... Pretty pointless thought but nether the less may prove to be informative.
Are there any ignition key/key fob alternatives?
Any mods done?
I only ask this as the original key is pretty bland and boring! I've see it done on other cars keys...
Okay guys. Just a quick update. Yesterday I stripped my body kit and bought some rubber grommets to fill the headlight washer holes. Tonight I've purchased a French flag sticker set to go on my RS grill from kieren17389. tomorrow morning I shall be taking the body kit for a little drive to the...
looking sweet pal!! Any chance you could find the guy with the french stickers and post his name up here for all to see cos I'll be more than interested in buying some..... cheers bud
Mate that front grill looks dope. I want one lol... I'm sure you'll figure out what wheels to put on it. just a friendly bit of advice 15" are standard size for a 1.2. 16" are standard size for the 172/182/197. and 17" are probably the absolute biggest size you can put on without the wheels...
Yeah I know this thanks pal. The big bold letters saying LEFT is a big giveaway. It was the first wheel that came out the shed. I was only trying it on to see what it looked like. But thanks bud!
Today I dusted the tools off, removed the standard wings, arch liners and front bumper to line up the 172 wings and front bumper. I also marked up where to put the brackets for the side skirts. I thought they would be harder to fit but tbh it was quite easy. ATM the brackets are only held on...
So .... Today has been very progressive....
I picked my refurbed wheels up got tyres put on them and balanced.
i also went and picked up a full 172 body kit which I got for £100. Both bumpers wings and skirts (with fitting brackets). All safe and sound except the top grille. If anyone has...
