Cheers Fletcher. Even if I haven’t got my 182 back will be great to get re inspired by these great cars. must get a big group going again 👍🏼 cheers all

That’s a shame. I thought it was a great club with occasional Meet ups. Have you still got a 172/182?

Hi All, A few years ago I had a BG 182. It was a great car. Has some nets up Micks & loved the car. Had a few differing cars since then. Golf GTi’s mainly. I’m probably buying back my original 182. Is South Central still running? & do you still have meets etc. cheers. Rog.

That wheel looks sweet. Great job by Snappy.

Hi Budgie. Thanks for your reply. How was the wheel with the seat leather? Have you got any pics? I really wanted as graphite a colour as I can. The black is best from Snappy I think as the blue is too light as you say. The seat leather will be the best colour but don't know what the finish...

That looks great. Love the perforated leather on the thumb grips & bottom section. Is that black leather?

What did you go for "Jesus" black? Any perforated leather etc?

Snappy is still in here replies after a few days. Busy I think.

Yeah. Snappy's work looks superb. Just wanted the best. Ol our match I could get. He sent me a leather swatch in black & the iris blue which almost looks anthracite. What have you gone for? Superb work. It will look great.

No. The actual leather down the sides. My 182 steering wheel needs a referb & im trying to keep it as original as possible. So was considering buying a second hand seat & seeing if that leather would be useable. Thanks for replying

Dear all, Has anyone on here used some leather from an old seat to re trim a steering wheel. I've been talking to Snappy & had a couple of Swatches sent but the Anthracite isn't quite the right colour. If anyone has used old seat leather id be interested in how it looks. Cheers, Roger.

Hi Paris182. Seen you at Micks a couple of times. I'm just doing my headlights. How did you do yours?

I've just been reading your post. I've just started mine. Usual discolouration. I bought a Meguires restoration kit but didn't seem too good. I then bought some wet & dry & have started with 1200 grit. It's much smoother but still hazy. From your post I guess I need to keep working at it & go...

A great day. Many thanks to the organisers. Plenty of heritage to look at. Cheers.

In my 182 I average 33. On the M25 this week I re set the trip & did 65 to 70 in top. It averged 47. Thought that was pretty good for a 2l engine.
