I removed the custom centre caps from the Williams wheels and painted all behind the cap in black to tidy it up. After a full cleaning session I am curious what people think without the caps fitted: And yes I know the standard exhaust is hideous but waiting for a slot in my mates garage...

Re: My Inferno Orange 182 Project Thread - Fast Road/Occasional track day car.... Finally got a day off so sorted all my bargain Milltek system out. For the grand sum of £180 I have a Milltek catback with 2 centre sections (1 is going to be a straight through section for trackday/summer) 1 is...

Yeah but they have silver writing rather than the orange I want. Will be ordering new I think

Looking at either anthracite or carbon bullets - quite fancy carbon at the present moment

Winter tyres are awesome - put mine on yesterday ready for winter, second winter out of this set, used them on the Ka last year and never once came near getting stuck. Unbelievable in the wet and like night and day compared to normal tyres in the snow My personal recommendation is Vredestein...

Cheers matey - plenty more to come in the next few weeks

No with 1 mile old Eibach Sportlines

Proper winter tyres: Vredestein Snowtrac 3 - are awesome in cold wet weather and when everything is covered in snow

Providing I don't get kept back at work on Sunday morning I am there in the Clio as the XR4x4 may have been sold :dapprove:

Looked a black one but only saw it once I pulled around lights. After a 14 hour shift my eyes weren't looking at cars haha

Some of my fords I have owned over the last few years: Escort 1300 XL: Focus 2.0 ESP: Focus ST-2. Had this a few years and went through 2 main phases - tiger striped (stage 3 around 320bhp/500Nm) and non striped (stage 4 350-360bhp/600-650Nm): And my favourite phase...

Re: My Inferno Orange 182 Project Thread - Fast Road/Occasional track day car.... Cheers - it looked a great little car but it had some minor issues under the skin. Well wheels are in getting painted now and should be ready at the weekend, also will have some custom renault centre caps if it...
