They really are, and as the cup doesn’t have side airbags they are a nice easy swap with no warning light!

It's ok I'll let you off haha! To be fair I would buy a RB if a nice or low mileage one came up

Yes I would say so, only briefly sat in it though lol

Fitted a set of Recaro Trendlines on Jon Foz frames. I always missed these from my Trophy as for me they are really comfortable!

Not far away at all! Will no doubt bump into you at some point bud

Yes he is brilliant did in 15mins what I had tried to do in 2 hours haha! I’m in Takeley by the airport mate you?

Big thank you to @AlexW for coming over today to remove the coilovers and fit my new cup suspension and Cooksport springs with new mounts etc. And for replacing the gearbox oil. I also fitted new Cup 172 badges Before: After:

Already owned a Trophy, have a 172 Cup, the PB 182 is the only one left that I for some reason have a desire to own.

Certainly a marmite colour but I really like it.

This is the colour:

Hi Guys, Long shot but does anyone know of any Petrol Blue 182s with lowish mileage (sub 80k) out there? I have been looking to buy one for approx 2years and I know they are rare so thought I would see if anybody could help or if anyone would be tempted to sell theirs. Thanks, Chris

Really easy mate literally popped top out, wiped it down then applied vinyl and about 4 coats of lacquer.

Very true, I have the final bits being done on Saturday so will have to have a think after. Still really really want a Petrol Blue 182 so may sell on and hunt for one of those.

The vinyl was literally just from eBay and then I used a can of spray clearcoat from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004SNLNY2/?tag=cliospnet01-21...

You know me too well!! To be fair it came in at £504.63 which I don't think is bad at all.

Looool! ? It was but as most things are nearly complete bar the engine bay I started to think about selling and buying another one or going OEM+

Then these arrived ?

Fitted a sport hazard surround as the previous owner had fitted a non-sport. So hard to find good condition used plastics but at least it’s orginal! Any other suggestions? Before: After: Also got a new passenger side mirror cap as the orginal had some scratching on it, need to machine...

Got under and had a proper look and it had just literally popped out. No rips or tears etc so oil has been ordered and Alex is popping by next Saturday to reattach and fill the oil back up. Thanks again for peoples help :-)

I will drop him a message as he lives around the corner, thanks.

To be fair it’s all part of the fun. But I’ll get someone to do it for me so I know it’s done right as I have zero experience! Been quoted £250 by a mobile mechanic I use for tyres for fixing that plus fitting the suspension on each side, fitting a new exhaust and fitting a Brembo conversion...

Oh dear!! Is that a simple fix for a mechanic? I will need to call someone as its wayyyyy beyond me lol.

Whooooooops; there is now a huge pool of oil under the car ????? Time to call a mobile mechanic! Any recommendations? I am near Stansted Airport.

Only one side is up; if i cant do it ill bring up the other side as well and try that. Thanks again.

Ahhh I was scared I had to be gentle with it! Will give it a go and change the flip flops to shoes lol!!! Thanks everyone.

Hi Guys, As some of you may have seen I have been getting my 172 Cup back to standard(ish) mint condition. Part of this was changing the coilovers back to 172 Cup shocks with cooksport springs. Have the car on axel stands and removed the coilovers. Have built the new suspension and the top nut...

It’s the little things! Lol; but bigger things have been arriving in the post each day this week so more to come.

If I could that would be great! Thanks

I did not actually know that Tony. Thanks for the info. Hope you are keeping well mate.

Hi Guys, One of my a pillar sensor brackets is broken, and I really can’t find anywhere to get them. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you. Chris
