My Iceberg...

[SteveS Cup]

So, I had bought this 172 last month after my disaster with my last 172 Cup and I wanted to make a diary of the progress almost as hopefully a lot more will happen over the next few months!

This is how it started…

I got it home and put my Turini’s straight on it! I also put in a KnN panel Filter.

Next was my 300mm Momo Team steering wheel…

Then I had a day free to fit my K Tec coilovers…

I then found out about the Skoda Fabia splitter, so I wasted no time in calling around and I got one last Thurday (1/4/10) and got that fitted on Saturday along with some Silvervision bulbs…

That is how it currently stands. I’m going to give it a good all over clean next Saturday when the mrs is at work and try to take some decent photo’s!

So current spec is now…

Iceberg Silver 172
Cup Turini’s with Toyo Proxies
K Tec Coilovers
Momo Team 300mm Steering Wheel
Skoda Fabia front splitter
Silvervision Indicators
KnN Panel Filter


I have a long wish list but my main plans are…

Solid Top Mounts
Matched Inlets
New Engine Mounts
Remap


I also need to do something about the “solar corrosion” on the passenger headlight (I’m hoping my mate still has the 2 brand new headlights he told me he had!).

Apart from that I’m loving the 172… I really under estimated the performance having owned much more powerful cars previously so it’s all smiles here!

Oh, I forgot! I fitted clear side repeaters on the first day as well which make a huge difference IMO and my aero wipers and new numberplates should be here by next week!!!

Looks cracking! I love the headlamps!

Very nice, i was going to mention the repeaters but noticed they had been changed a couple of photos later!

Got to love an iceberg! Looking well

What number plates are on the way? front one to fit the recess?

 

[SteveS Cup]

Thanks guys.

Yeah it's a 520x90 front plate and just a plain rear plate! I don't like the GB sign on the plate.

 

[Sanders]

Looks good mate, plans sound good

 

[SteveS Cup]

Thanks guys!

Managed to log on at my pc at home so i'm now a member!

 

[Snakey]

Excuse the pun but...

Looking Cool

 

[SteveS Cup]

Thanks.

Get your Cup spoiler on Steve makes a massive difference! Car is looking good. Loving the steering wheel too which is odd for me.

 

[SteveS Cup]

Nah I prefer the STD spoiler. It follows the roof line better.

Thanks, I love the steering wheel! Pics are shite, looks much better in real life!

 

[SteveS Cup]

Ktec SS Stealth exhaust has just been put on... I'm off out now to find a few tunnels!

 

[Davis]

that skoda splitter fits really well! car looks nice btw!

 

[SteveS Cup]

Thanks mate... The splitter is near enough perfect... For £10 is an utter bargain!

Starting to get used to the exhaust... it seems so loud as I've been driving it with the std exhaust for sooooo long!

They're quite a bit louder then standard!

 

[SteveS Cup]

TBH Fletch I think it's where I went from my 20vt Polo which was loud and stripped out to my Cup which had the exhaust on which seemed quieter than my polo then to this 172 which was std... so the exhaust seemed quiet on my Cup but loud on this... If you get me!?? lol.

I like it, but it's a bit boomy at low speeds. Sounds nice on over run! And also on full chat... it's just at low speeds ie in traffic or through high streets when you don't want to look like a boy racer! lol.
