    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    To be fair Mossy, I put them in a warm bucket of hot water and Fairy liquid mix and left for an hour. Came back with a sponge scourer and the result on the right was literally a couple of minutes of going over with the sponge. I'd say it's got rid of at 95%+ of the sticky crap that was on there...

    Noise while pulling away / low speed manoeuvring

    Does sound brake/calliper related. As @Conor L says - a simple temperature check might help track down the issue. Be careful though, I've done it in the past where my fingers got too close to a calliper and those things can get HOT. Alternatively - front wheel bearing perhaps? Not sure how they...

    New 182 owner

    Morning - and welcome aboard! Was a 182 something you were after a while, or a bit of an on-the-spot purchase? ;)

    Dash clock stopped working

    Is the clock off completely? Nothing at all on it? Mine faded at one side on the 182 - so that only half of the display was visible. With any form of backlight coming into the car itself, I couldn't see anything on there. A few months later, I ended up replacing the battery and instantly the...

    White 200 almost wiped out by van

    I don't see what's wrong? Roofbox = additional 168bhp. Surely we all know that?

    Wide boys

    I’ll give you that. The 306 doesn’t look ‘that’ bad as such - certainly a hell of an improvement over some 205 examples. I mean, does this come with a free retina transplant with the purchase? :sick: So a perfectly fine 205 GTi is wrapped up in this? Like planning a date with a classy model...

    Wide boys

    Well - that's me joining the ranks of Savile then. Absolutely detest Dimma kits. For comparison, the hacksaw job that Wayne and his mates do to his 1.1 Peugeot from stolen Ford Focus body panels - look as artistic as the Sistine Chapel. If one word sums up the worst of the peak of the Max...

    Values of Nice Examples increasing

    Is that standard ride height on 172 Cups? Looks like the arch clearance is prepped to enter the Paris-Dakar Rally.

    My Comprehensive Notes from todays Apple WWDC Keynote!

    It's funny how we take to things in a different way. I'm the opposite and have a personal iPhone with a works Android phone. I've tried to make my Android phone a bit more iPhone like and simply given up. The interpreted beauty of Android is that it's anything to anyone. They can customise it...

    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    Thanks for that - it's something that I want to do. Not fussed about colour-matching as they are scratched/caught with people's nails, rings etc - just something to make them look better than what they do already.

    200 Cup Gordini #017

    This looks epic! (y) If it was in dog form, it would be a hyper-angry, snapping French bulldog with a bucketload of attitude!

    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    Hi all, Just after some advice and suggestions regarding the interior door handles on the 182. We all know about the crappy rubberised, sticky coating that comes on them and I was just after removing them and spraying them matt black. Is there a best-practice to this? Removing the remnants of...

    It was a badly seated valve I believe?

    Scottish highlands drive

    Such an epic place to drive - the further north you go, the less traffic and great roads that you seem to get. Loved the drive up to Cape Wrath and the loop back down. I think this was my favourite pic that I took on the trip - just summed up the openness and fun of the roads up there. NEED...

    Ah! Thanks for explaining that. I've been telling people it was a different 5th - lol. 😆😊

    Have you seen the new Ineos Grenadier, Chris? Looks much nicer than the 'proper' new Defender in my eyes. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-britishcars/ineos-grenadier-officially-unveiled/42677

    Cannot go wrong with old Porsches for coolness ratings. I'd love one. :cool:

    Lovely. Like a greener looking acid yellow from the V6.

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    I haven't got exact numbers through driving at the time, but it's a several hundred RPM drop off the standard 182 fifth gear - according to the dial. Mark @NorthloopCup might have some more accurate numbers to hand? I think it would be worth having it done with anyone's gearbox in bits and if...

    BG 182, tidy up!

    Nice - result with that paint issue on the roof too!

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    They don't actually specify an amount to pay - just anything really. It just got me a little wary when a payment for a place in Moscow came up. Probably legit, but I'll try the free Lite one for now.

    Clio 182 Bumper Exhaust Trims

    I get that - but £35 each? And I bet you'll get a postage fee added on top for something that weights what, 20 grams? There's a time and place to extract a bit of premium on a popular product. I bought one of the carbon fibre front splitters from KTEC myself in the past that I didn't think...

    @HardcoreJunglist - if your brakes are that bad - it might be worth looking into a refurb and into the brake lines themselves? Your car is now 15 years old and been subjected to all the crap that the road has to chuck up. My brakes were woeful - though the actual discs and pads were fine. I had...

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    I went straight to Pro settings and it's not that scary a place to be! I've since changed a couple of things, but not much to be seen in the Custom settings. Just watched a few replay sections that I have saved. I still can't get over how bloody good the audio is in this game. Have you...
