Hi. I just fitted my new rims on my 197. Megane 225 18". Looks loads better that the standard 17s. But I really need it lowered now. I'm on a budget so what's the lowest I can go with springs? As coilover are silly money.
last week 1 of the front main dip bulb's blew on my 172,i was bizzy at work and unable to get a new 1 straight away.friday night i had to nip out and the other 1 blew leaving me with just high beam and the side light's.
so yesterday a went and bought 2 new front bulb's(£22):mad:
when i fitted...
new full stainless magnex(twin oval)
brand new k&n
carbon bonnet,
17" mim alloys(brand new tyres) also full set of standard's.
momo steering wheel.
lowered 40mm,
leather,and all the other bits you get with them
70k on clock.
will have 12 m,o,t
bit of tax
not a mint 172 but good condition.
just had the first rev up with my 17" fitted to my 172.and im not going to race anymore with them on.it handled like a wet blanket.
so the oe 15" are going back on;)
racing on my private test track;)
lets just say i brought a cheap car,then sold it,brought another 1 which the extra money i made,and then another,then another,then another,then i ended up buying this.
so really paid more than that,but i paid with the profit;)and time but have now spent 1800 with all the bit's and pieces.
but...
yes i know mate. but 2 are fooked:rolleyes:
and i had them 17" in the shed doing nothing;)
so unless i can get 2 more straight 172 alloy's.the 17" will be staying
when i first brought it
and this is it now.after replacing the wheels due to slight buckle's in 2:S :mad:
and a nice new full magnex system:approve:
and it now stand's me £1800ish:rasp:
im not going to if it needs all that work and money spending on it.
i will do the rear end tho.
the reason i was thinking about it,is because the previous owner just used the car and abused it,he had a small knock in it,he replaced the bonnet to 1 which has now rusted:mad: and the oem bumper is...
doe's the mk2,phase 2, 172 rear bumper's and rear lights fit onto the mk2 phase 1 172
and what about the front end??????
as i do like the phase 2 looks better.
lad's i am very sorry for my friend's silly comment's.^^^^^^^^^^^
where did you keep with me to a ton????
he seem's to think because he's got a bmc carbon air filter and an argos peco big bore 2,it is stainless mind:p so and extra 500bhp so know has over 1000 bhp:approve:
last weekend at...
like what????:rolleyes:
i got the full system,that only had done 200 mile's and then removed due to selling the car!for a skyline.
for £150 and it really is like brand new. so i would say,it was a bargain.
just been and picked up my new stainless magnex cat back system with the twin exit.
has anyone else got that system?
what do they sound like?:rolleyes:
