Busy morning on the 182

[paul]

Hiya all, ive spent most of the morning on the 182 cup :approve: had all the wheels off cleaned the suspension / aches / painted all my calipers smooth black and finally got the exhaust finished!!! Gives them a much cleaner look! Not the best of pics but you get the idea! (new camera on the way so ill get some better pics soon) and before anyone asks yes it does get used

and i spent a bit of time on the engine last week! after it had been to the dealer!

Really pleased with the way its coming on.. 19200 on the clock

very clean, good work! :approve:

I would have done the calipers satin or matt black though, the gloss just looks too shiny behind the wheels.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Are you trying to get one over on Rich?

 

[nth]

how do u find the time to clean it like that, wouldnt wana drive it if my car was that clean. . .

 

[fUbAr]

to be fair, Rich spends more time on the paintwork where it matters... Paul seems obsessed with his car's crevices

 

[Beef-Mc]

Thats because you can't see it's Inferno on the bottom :rasp:

Hammerrite do a Satin Black that I reckon with a small drop of silver in it may match the factory colour. I am lucky mine still look like new.
