What have you done to your car today ???

[Andybluenoes]

​It will probably melt the plastic surround after a while.

Thats not good. Apart from put some extra thick washers between the new mounting bracket and floor of the car, I dont see how I can get the exhaust to drop down lower than it is :S

Fitted team heko wind deflectors, white LED sidelights

Fitted new sidelight bulb. Fixed headlight adjuster. Cleaned it.



Edit: upon looking at that photo, I think silver indicator bulbs are next on the agenda.

Today the clean up continued... Auto Finesse Tripple followed by Tough Coat.

Tomorrows job is to get a couple of coats of Spirit down for a bit of Waxy goodness.

^^Whats up with the splitter mate?

Fucked Carbon, stone chips in the lacquer and water damage, was going to spray it today but it was to windy so will see what tomorrow brings. Other option is to chuck it in the bin and fit a skoda jobby.

Wow, i was thinking about getting one of these, i didnt think they could get that bad, iv got a skoda one, im going to eventually order a cup one but its not at the top of my list at that price lol.

Personally whilst they look great (and mines about 4 years old) all the external carbon I've fitted has suffered badly with road rash and I wouldn't bother again.

 

[Kent91]

Quick wash and dry after work

​Get a 182 and invite your mate over for a hot hot time

Yeah its always been my fantasy to gangbang a 182

 

[Alan]

Drove it and was thankful it wasn't a Clio..

 

[J.B.]

Filled it up with super. 39.7mpg (actual) on the last tank. It said 41mpg on the trip computer, pretty accurate!

 

[Ray Gin]

Too manly?

 

[EvilPanda]

just striped down all cylinder head
​

 

[Alan]

Too manly?

Nope.. After a 182, R27 and a heap of shite 172, driving something with more go, reliability, style and class is more appealing.

 

[Alan]

Gurrrlll you gon' recognise!

what did you trade in the mini for?

 

[Alan]

what did you trade in the mini for?

I sold my 06 Works two years ago, had a 120d MSport coop (company bus), bought a 172 as project, money pit, sold that, bought a Focus ST2, didn't really bond with it, sold that bought a 2008 Astra SRI 150 cdti sports hatch, mapped it, didn't really make it much better, so sold that.. And now in this:

 

[Sash]

I know this isn't strictly clio related but it is french...

 

[dmallett]

Filled it with turf.

 

[Brian]

Almost CS colours there too, Sash!

:approve:

Right colours different order ;-)

 

[Lal B3N]

Had Brembo Max discs fitted and EBC Redstuff pads. Seem fantastic so far.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Fitted my speaker, Actually can have bass and the sound wont cripple lol

 

[Feates172]

Took my vmaxx coilovers off,

And fitted these

Thanks to Adam for helping me out with the shocks and parts.

Also recommended the cooksport springs. Good drop, and still leave the ride comfortable.

 

[J.B.]

and still leave the ride comfortable.

If you say so! I love mine, but the ride is far from comfortable.

 

[Feates172]

Did you go from standard to these?

I've never had standard to compare too. But compared to the ktec and vmaxx coilovers I've had, they are comfortable

 

[J.B.]

Yeah I went from standard cup shocks and standard springs, to standard cup shocks and cooksport springs.

I can imagine that they do feel more comfy than coil overs!

Great springs though. I'm okay with the ride, but passengers.... not so much :/
