Chris' Arctic Blue 182 FF

[-Chris]

Hi Guys, Well after owning a 106 GTi I thought it was time for a change. So I set about buying a 182.
Something which I have wanted for awhile.
I managed to find a clean example with Full Service History, And ended up buying it.

Anyway, here She is:

Current modifications to the car:

Xenon Bulbs Throughout
De-Cat
Pipercross Air filter
Speedline Turinis
Carbon Fibre Interior Strips
Team Heko Wind Deflectors
Sony Xplode Amp
Fusion Sub

Plans: (More to be added)
New Exhaust System (Suggestions Please)
Aftermarket Steering Wheel

Anyway, Here's some pictures:

Comments Welcome, Thanks

Looks great man, really nice photos. Look after her

Look forward to seeing your progress. You will have to stick a video up once you get a new exhaust system.

Here's some pictures during and after.

And the finished result:

Update.

Decided to clean up the Discolored Headlights tonight, so I made a trip to 'Halfrauds' and purchased the Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit.

It seems to have done the trick, and I'm really pleased with the results.

After;

I also finished off the Engine Cover by Lacquering it tonight. Will get it fitted tomorrow and update with pictures.
Just waiting for the '2.0L' And '16v' Stickers from N2Graphix. Hopefully they will arrive tomorrow!

Been planning on painting the Inlet Manifold for awhile now to brighten up the Engine Bay, So I thought I'd try and be different so I chose to have a go with some VHT Black Wrinkle Paint. For a first attempt at using it, I'm really pleased with the result. I applied 4 Coats and left 4 Minutes between each Coat to give the paint time to dry.

Here's some pictures.

Comment's Welcome.

Received my Stickers from N2Graphix today. So decided to refit the Engine Cover which I had sprayed on Monday as I wasn't 100% happy with the result I got when I did it. Got the Inlet Mani back on at the weekend aswell so here's some pictures of the bay as it stands.

Comments Welcome
