RB 182 project



Hi
My name is Tyler I'm 21 and I'm from Essex
Had the car just over a year now and have been registered on CS for more than a year also and use this website quite a bit, but have never done a project thread.
So here it is, I brought a few things fitted a few thing and took a few picture hope everyone likes.

Started of like this

Then I added the stripes (my brother does car wraps and stuff so it was free and I could take them of when I wanted, so I thought why not)

Then painted my callipers red to match the rear light, prefer this look over the yellow.

Then came the CS sticker (missing the "t" on the end, but I have a new one birchdown sent me for free, thanks)

Then came the F1 stickers (quite like these)

Then the rear quarter sport sticker

Then the car was left like this for around 8 months
I then went around America with my other half for 8 weeks and towards the end I started to miss the car so I ordered a few bit for it. (got back last friday)

Metal footrest was added (thanks davo172 looks wicked)

Also brought Eibach Sportlines and installed them (I like the look of the ride height on these, I'm not into slamming the car, not my thing)

This makes a big difference, and only 9.98 for all 4 you can't complain.
I also changed to a 3/4 number plate on the front, improvement is massive IMO.
cleaned badge. I also polished the exhausts but not got a picture ATM

I also brought front and rear strut brace and fitted the rear (red) not the front yet.
And also a de-cat pipe, that will be fitted when my hole in my mid section gets fixed.
And along with this will come new rear mounts as my exhaust has fallen a bit.
Few shot my my dads car before he washed it.

I went to NW performance yesterday to have a cambelt and service, it was an 8 hour round trip and I managed 45mpg which I thought was very good.
Ryan was a laugh did the job brilliantly and quickly, top bloke thanks mate.

This is how the car stands now.
Sometime this month the stripes are going to come off, wheel painted gloss (mates rates :D) Bullets black with RB letters, and I think I might do the engine cover RB as well.
Front splitter needs to be ordered for Skoda to finish the front off.
As for Cup spoiler, I'm not to bothered about this ATM but maybe sometime soon.
Also got loads of detailing stuff so this needs doing at sometime.
I will add stuff as I go.
Thanks for reading you can now wake up.
