Anthracite wheels on the silver looks the nuts, i'd get that done with the lowering too

 

[D4N13L]

Looks nice did u know someone left a baby in the back

I actually prefer the silver wheels to the cup wheels

lowered, YES

 

[DrR]

looks good, i think the silver wheels look like corsa SXI wheels though.

 

[Fletcher]

Looks tidy.

 

[Guppy]

Tad lower and a cup spoiler and you will be on too a winner there fella!

 

[hopey-182]

yes the person in the back is my beutifull little girl emily. she sometimes helps me clean it.

 

[Curley]

Like a poliski, but smaller

[hopey-182]

thanks for the comments guys what springs do you rec whats the diff between prolines+sportlines what do they cost new. would love collies but fundw wont allow.

 

[Curley]

Try searching but basically they handle the same but the sportlines give a lower drop and may not be as comfortable as the prolines. Both great springs from what i've read.

Im ordering sportlines this week

 

[DebV6]

Looks nice

 

[bennybrunt]

Very nice indeed. Defo lower it. Get some sportlines, i hear pretty good reviews from people on here about them. Think prolines or sportlines are around £100. But could possibly be wrong, so dont quote me on that. But very nice example of 182 there mate

the problem is b4 the clio i had a black 03 plate vtr dropped 50mm all round on apex springs ride was harsh the wife complained but it looked mint. had my clio 3 years now fron new always toyed with the idea of lowereing it cant get it out of my blood. dont want the ride to harsh if got a 3 year old as in the pics + we do a lot of country road driving in the summer.

fair point mr ! eibachs im sure its the sportlines give a nice drop but retain a comfy ride,i had apex on my 172 before i fitted my coilovers and thinking about it now they were awfull yet when i fitted them i was quite pleased with how made the car look.

im from fulwell is your photos took at penshaw way sure i see sunderland echo in back ground lol

 

[hopey-182]

yes the photos are at penshaw gary dont know where i got chris from. im from grindon do you rec coilovers whats the ride like how much they set you back.whats youre reg so i can give you a flash if i see you m8.

 

[whatisjustis]

Not many silver rimmed 182s on here that I can recall. Would look propper lovely with a decent drop.

Nasty registration plates though. Get a new, plain set from fancyplates.com

 

[Tigger]

Looks like it's in good nick

 

[*Clare*]

Looks good. Def lower it but keep the silver wheels. People tell me to do my alloys in anthracite but I think silver alloys look good against the silver paintwork.

my reg is gaz 3359 although the p plate is coming off soon as i think it looks gash now im older (wish id never put it on) im somtimes up grindon way so will look out,coilovers vary in prices depending what u want mine were more so to the cheaper end of the scale,they do make the car look much better and it does handle like its on rails(once set up) but as for comfort well there isnt any,any coilovered car will be firm shall we say.
