Sunflower Ownership-Attempt #2

[Hayley]

After some help writing off my 1st Sunflower 172 from a nice lady who took it upon herself to pull across me to get to her drive and deprive me of my ph-quick after a month of owning.. I've got another!

Its taken weeks to track one down that wasn't bent, accident repaired, a bin or just not yellow! I've driven everyone mental with my obsession with a sunflower yellow 172 but I finally found one that was right.
I'm seeing a trend; own a sunflower, buy a stupid exhaust (some Cobra Sport jobbie :/) and stick it on.. but thats going as soon as I decide what to replace it with!

I'm sunburned from what was a 'quick wash' but turned into 3 hours on the drive and a quick squirt of wax...then the local industrial estate for a few pix.

No major plans for it as yet; its already lowered about 30-40mm, hence my nicely scuffed bumper and lack of desire for a carbon splitter anymore. Its got the usual wear on the steering wheel, so will be replacing that & the exhaust fairly soon (providing this one last longer than a month!). Tempted by dark wheels or even 2118s but who knows.. the white looks pretty fresh for now!

That looks pretty cool, hope you get more enjoyment out of this one.

*Jealous* Looks great, good work with the photos; will have to have a look in at the next meet. Plans sound good as well.

Thats the plan!! Looking forward to some track sessions maybe...

 

[W17GLE]

Its good to see you have got another one I hope this one lasts longer than the other.

 

[.Gem.]

Nice

Sorry to hear about the first one!

If you haven't got one by the next meet; you can have a go if you like

 

[Hayley]

Nice

Sorry to hear about the first one!

Yeah; it sucked I was gutted about the actual damage underneath.. would have had it back otherwise!

 

[.Gem.]

Shame that... they're so rare too, you've done well to find a decent one!

Enjoy it chick, I've just lost mine to lack of funds, so make the most of having it!

 

[VeinAST]

Wow, what an exhaust!! Pics of the sunburn ?

Looks nice though. Do these get fading like the yellow Leons?

 

[loz180691]

looks nice

 

[Hayley]

Aww thats a bummer honey! You considering another RS at some point?

Rare isnt the word; seems people selling them don't know what they are though!

lol cheeky!!

I honestly don't know about fading... I'd guess they may?

 

[jamesybear]

looks very nice hope it lasts you for alot longer then the last one jus aviod woman drivers!!

 

[Sam]

i love it, bar the exhaust. its huge!! i love it though!

 

[VeinAST]

lol cheeky!!

I honestly don't know about fading... I'd guess they may?

Ah right, I dont think they do! French paint is better than German evidently!! Congrats on getting a decent one!!

 

[J0sh]

Looks good!

 

[AlexG]

Looks nice with the turinis! Exhaust is horrible though.

 

[Brett]

Lovely. Hope you have better look with this one. Your so lucky to find a good one.

 

[jesus]

Nice! Looks good on the white wheels

 

[Marky_]

New sunshine bus, yay

 

[fad]

Looks great (apart from the exhausts)

Would look pretty good on Anthracite 2118's or even a set of Anthracite Primas.

PH2 172 rear with a stealth is the way forwards

 

[Nick_P]

Loving the exhaust!

 

[Craig.]

im liking that with the white turinis, shame about the exhaust but as said you'll be changing that

 

[superbenji88]

It looks good with the white wheels, might copy you and stick my white O.Z F1's on mine.
Good to see you have another one

 

[mini_nick]

That looks awesome! my mate has just bought a ph1 and im well impressed with how it goes

 

[Craig.D]

NICE!!

think it would suit the wheels paint gloss black with yellow metal sparkle thru it because the side bump strips are black

 

[Leeshez]

Crackin piccys.

 

[StevenMc29]

Better luck with this one I hope. Looks like a good example (bar exhaust but your changing it anyway)

 

[Vish]

Loving that, except for the exhaust. Haven't seen one that wide before! The white wheels really suit it.

I'd normally say time for a ph2 rear bumper but the original looks ok in sunflower. Ph2 lights would freshen it up though.

You must be the only person to have had 2 sunflower yellows. Barely seem them advertised.

 

[Feirny]

Loooks nice, was snooping round your old one the other day, looking better these days

 

[Hayley]

my old one? Do you have it now? :/ It went to salvage auction.

The exhaust is horrid, I agree!

Wheels; I'm debating anthracite turinis with a yellow lip. 2118s or something totally different and start a new wheel trend...
Probably will stick a ph2 rear on it when I rid myself of the chav-ness! Cobra Sport FTL.

Ta guys!

 

[Ian]

If you haven't got one by the next meet; you can have a go if you like

Cheers. Think I'm going to brave a few insurance quotes in a minute.. will have to see how that goes. I'd probably just sit there and pretend to drive, don't wanna crash someone elses Sunflower, let alone your second one, lol.

Josh at Cliospares has two in for repair H; not sure if yours is the cat-d or -c.

As for wheels:

:approve:

 

[Hayley]

Those wheels look smart!!

If it helps I'm paying 1100ish, 0 NCB, 1 accident (3rd party fault), on the drive at night. I'm 23.

Ta guys!

I don't have it, Joshydee does. But she's getting restored :approve:

 

[JD]

Lovely looking car mate, not met you as of yet, will surely see it over the coming summer months.

[n0rm]

looking good H...lets hope you have more luck with this one

[The Chubby Pirate]

Im amazed you managed to un-earth another Sunflower in that amount of time

16" F1's are a must for it, and a stealth s/s i think

Whats the miles on this one?

 

[Naith]

stonking that fella!
