Yeah I thought it looked good and saved cleaning them every 5 mins, especially after the secondary cat was removed.

Brilliant results there, the colour is so much deeper! Flame red is a beautiful colour. I got sick of cleaning my tips after I had the exhaust modified, so sprayed them black. 🤣

I’m sure I read somewhere that renaultsport had the engine from Nissan but spent all the rest (or most) of the budget on the gearbox which is why everything is pretty standard with regards to brakes, seats etc. the brakes aren’t bad as standard but as you say some special bits would’ve made it a...

God I’m sure I remember back in the day when these were cheap! And then the price shot through the roof as people wanted them and they’ve never come back down.

I don’t recall mine rubbing the slam panel, it was a tight fit but didn’t cause any problems in my time with it. Good that you have a spare though

You need to get the hot side pipe replaced with a metal one too. The original ones are prone to breaking.

I’m struggling to find the brand to be honest, but they weren’t really expensive ones. Even the cheap ones I tried didn’t throw any errors though.

I upgraded both low and high beam to led just to have both the same. It was worth doing and looked and performed a lot better. However definitely get decent ones because of the beam on some is terrible.

I ran led bulbs in my ph1. With a decent set they were much improved. The problem with the headlight swap from ph2 is you need a custom loom I think, and I’m not sure many people make them anymore. Obviously if you can you could do it yourself.

Malta.

It’s in Malta. So right hand drive and drive on the left as England do. I doubt it’s a factory car, but looked to be an initiale model judging by the colour and specs.

Spotted today, the colour was beautiful but it had a full 172 body kit on, 182 interior as well and the wheels even looked well spaced. Only thing it didn’t have visually was a 182 style exhaust.

the good thing is it would be safe because the original mounts will (hopefully) have been used. The only problem is the dvla I think have to be notified and stuff in case of accidents.

Yeah looks to have been added on. Bet it says 4 seater on the logbook though?

Potentially added by somebody, it wouldn’t be hard as I’m sure all of the mounting holes would be there. I wanted to do similar to my abarth punto as for some reason they made those 4 seaters instead of 5.
