Busy day on the inferno 182

[paul]

Couple of pics for you...had the car for 2 weeks and already spend a while making it look like one of mine

Was never happy with the exhaust and didnt fancy a new one just yet (been there done that... so gave that a spruce up (back to better than factory finish) and also colour coded the inside trims

Really pleased with the results...what do you think...

Exhaust before

After

Interior trims (thanks fubar for the tip)

No exhaust before pic, but s**t me have you done a good job. Your exhaust rivals Rich's and his has never seen rain or salt!

Tys.

[Mikey]

very smart, its a cup !

 

[Guppy]

what paint did you use on your exhaust???

 

[Ryan k]

Where did u get exhaust from?? its different to the other lol pipe is on different side of the box on bottom 1

Or just looks like a different car hmm lol

 

[182joe]

Exhaust look spotless!!!

Pity the Cups dont have a steering wheel insert, that would look good colour coded i think.

 

[Gaz_]

the rear boxes are obviously sprayed chaps, i did mine!!!!

good work

get a proper steering wheel though asap, the boggo one really lets the Cup down... or even better, get a smaller one

 

[Middo]

looking good! i'd get an airbag sticker for the dash trims though just to make em look slightly more oe, bloody good job if its your first attempt at spraying too

 

[GarethM]

nice fella

 

[paul]

thanks

 

[R20 CWH]

[Christopher]

nope, 182 Cups had the same steering device as a dynamique.

 

[Giles]

:rasp: lol ye

I know they want shooting for putting a dynamique wheel in it. A proper RS wheel would be top of my list it makes such a difference.

It has seen rain now a few times!

Looks good but painting is cheating ;-)

Will be interested to see how it holds up to the heat.

Industrial Hot Paint

• Heat curing formula.
• Re-coat anytime.
• Heat resistant up to 650°c once cured.

Hot Paint has a heat curing formula that once cured, forms a hard, long lasting finish that will not burn off, chip or flake. It is ideal for any surface exposed to very high heat.




Sure it will be fine.

 

[paul]

A few of the concours guys used to paint the exhausts in my old car club, none ever stayed on long.

i was really worried about doing it...and have painted exhausts before...but never used anything that is heat resistant to 650...seems pretty good - i guess only time will tell..i went for a drive for an hour the other day (which is a big trip out for me) and it started to key better as it states (cant rub it off)

Does really look that good though..pretty pleased for 7.99..

 

[Rich]

Just need to paint the top of them boxes and the centre section now then

 

[paul]

lol...i might..but i already spend toooo much time under my car (so the gf thinks) i have a bit of paint left...i was getting really fussy/anal toward the end with 1500 grit when i got a few paint splashes (very small lol)

Hope it lasts......the gf keeps saying she wishes she has 4 wheels

She nice but not a Clio lol

 

[paul]

****update****

Another busy Saturday on the cup

just thought i would share a few more pics with you all of some of my handy work!

New mats arrived today...really pleased with them...fantastic quality - much better than the 182 mats that Renault supplied in the full fat

look very hard wearing

And also a few pics of my exhaust - carried on cleaning the suspension / springs etc and flashed in the pipe up to the center box - really finishes it off !(as suggested by rich)

Enjoy...

 

[Ryan k]

Cool looking good so far well done

 

[Mikey197]

Looks well good mate, lot of effort gone into cleaning it.

 

[Rich]

Not more paint

Not a fan of the matts, look cheap.
