182 ownership a year on

[James-H]

I upgraded from my 1.2 8V to a 182 FF just over a year ago. So I thought a little look back over the year was due!

Not long after I got got the car:



While the world was watching 'the Royal Wedding' I was having fun with the polish:



Got bored one Sunday afternoon so cleaned up the engine bay a bit and painted the cover matt black:

New set of discs and pads all round-Brembo HC front discs, Renault rears and Ferodo DS2500 pads:

Eventually the exhaust rusted through so time for a new one-RS192 (needs a bit of adjustment still but it's a bit cold at the moment!):

And most important mod of all:

Also made a couple of friends through the year:

And managed to find my own parking space:

Thoroughly enjoyed the last year and absolutely enjoy the car I dreamed of owning while I was rolling round in my 1.2

I drive some pretty powerful and exotic cars in my day job but I always look forward to getting in my 182 at the end of the day.

Cheers for looking.

No major plans for it.

Probably get a set of matched inlets at some point and a mild re-map. Nothing extreme seeing as it's my daily drive for the foreseeable future.
