Cracking - Same as the missus! Needs the splitter though, will look even better once it's on! BTW - Which exhaust system have you got, finishes the back of the car off nicely!

Any feedback on how you're getting on with your Redtop? Did you notice any difference after losing the weight of the old battery? Cheers.

Just a quicky - I removed the Engine Hoist Brackets from the 182 today, and they weigh approx. 495g (with bolts). So nothing to get too excited about, but it all adds up, and for the 2 minutes it took me, worthwhile. P.S. 495grams is probs about £1 million quids worth of development on an F1...

Cheers Tigger, that XSport Racing site looks pretty promising! See what they say when you hear from them!:approve:

Yeah, think it's J45.

Lol! Maybe I'm just too used to doing jobs myself and only having to pay for parts! When you put it like that, I suppose it's not too bad, but generally, I still think Renault are expensive - certainly in comparison to Subaru, Peugeot, Honda and what was Rover! Anyway, I'll shut-up now so we...

No wonder we havn't heard much about Renault going down the sh1tter under this 'credit-crunch', it would seem their Service & Parts departments are keeping them ticking over nicely with those prices! And I thought Subaru were expensive! Not a shadow on Renault! I'm sure you must be able to get...

Have had a good look around, and can't seem to find a Fibreglass bonnet for the 182, but have heard back from K-Tec regarding their Carbon Bonnet. As I'm sure you all know, the Carbon bonnet they sell can be painted, fits onto the same connections/catches etc., and in the pics, even houses the...

Thanks for the advice Paul RN, I'll have to look into this... Does anyone know who does Fibreglass bonnets???

Love the look of Carbon Weave, but just don't think it would look right with the rest of the car being RB, would leave the underside unpainted though! Want the car to stay looking standard basically.:boring:

Think this is going to require a little more research! I'll come back to this thread if I come across anything promising! Get a feeling it could take a while though!

I guess you're probly right Alex X93, it doesn't really look too promising as far as an Alloy Bonnet is concerned! I've just emailed K-Tec with a few questions about theirs etc. Fitment, Opening, Sprayability, Weight etc. See if/what they come back with, probs in the week. Thanks alot for the...

Thought about bespoke fabrication, but yep, the £££'s issue is there with that one! As for the Fibreglass idea from Jamesstone - how did I not think of that one!? Jamesstone - have you done this yourself then???

Thanks guys, I'd heard they were OEM on a few of the early 172's, but just wondered if anyone had ever heard of an aftermarket (but standard looking) one for the 182? As for the weight, obviously I want it to help shed a few pounds, but I know the steel one isn't exactly heavy either! But yeah...

:bump: Anyone!?
