DC5 in White so it needs cleaning every other day. Wheels are a nightmare lol. Love the look of 172's, they look mean from the front.
Fox go away, stick to ya crappy beamer barges.

They also said that the 182 was 'best hot hatch ever built' in their 2004 review!

Very nice mate. Have you got any more pictures of the red callipers?
I'm painting mine this weekend, I was going to do them black as everyone over at CS.net says "If they're not Brembo, don't show them off by painting them red", but they do look pretty good on yours.
Nice mate, i bet that is a nightmare to keep clean! Mine had just been waxed etc in that pic, which i normally do quite often but not been able to with the weather we have had recently
Yeah it gets dirty quick in winter, but white it excellent for hiding small stratches and stuff like that. Don't regret white at all.
Your wheels look immiculate as well......My mates 172 wheels were flaking like hell. There a nice design.

LOL. DC5 - top hatchback.
(And I'm not laughing at the fact it's almost a coupé, either)
Yea, only got this one though mate after i did them last.
I painted mine on the car, wasnt too difficult to do.
It's CAT D, even says so in the advert?

Do you think if I painted them red and didn't like them it would be easy enough to go over them again in black? Assuming I used a wire brush to get most of the red off?
Depends on the paint, i used Hammerite which was quite thick. Should still be able to paint over them though if you chose to.
Yea
Well you can compare a 197 and a DC5, you can't really compare a DC5 and an M3, they're just... different.
Ya get me?
lol what have we started, I just used the M3 as it was the first car around 11k or so that came to mind.
My point was just that whole thing of 'ooh if you add on a bit more..', where does it stop
Got no qualms about the DC5 though, nice cars.

I just bought some coilovers. Late night on a whim purchase. Oops.
Ooops sorry was getting mixed up with the Trophy
Just wait out for a mint 182FF, it has all the toys xeons, cruise, climate control and ESP and ABS and AC auto wipers etc etc... A much much better everyday car!
All the toys do intrest me as they would most. But the 172 Cup being so cheap and (so I've heard) cheap to mantian and run?
It really depends on how cheap this 172 will be.

I don't think a 172 cup will be any cheaper to run than a 182. They're practically the same car (bar all the little bits and bobs pointed out about)
