172 rep sounds good, however it can get costly!! Personally I would choose projector headlights over angel eyes as these can look chavy. As for lowering, I would go coilovers, then you can adjust the ride height to what you prefer, you only need budgets… no point spending £££ on a 1.2 IMO...

Hello, The 182 was working fine as should on a trip shopping, when I returned to the car, it wouldn’t start but you can hear it turning over, the car wouldn’t jump off another car but I did manage to bump start it, possibly starter motor? However, the thing confusing me is the electrics have...

I was there in my BG 182, with the french flag grill, 3/4 plate, Turini's and CF splitter :D The LY 182 looked good and the meet was good!

I'd keep the left shoe on personally, right shoes are overrated anyway!

im heading down to that tonight with a few mates, shame about the weather but i'll keep an eye out for you!

Alternatively, you could consider a carbon fibre one?

I've heard soaking them in coke overnight free's up the adjusters? But i haven't personally tried this myself.

The exhaust trims are clipped into position, the clips are a rubbery plastic, (same as the fog surrounds). You will need to move the exhaust rather than the trim.

I had this on my old fiesta with Cosworth wheels, one of the rear wheels was noticeably more pushed out, and I was told it was tolerances, just a lot more noticeable when the car is lowered.

Cheers guys, i believe they are cup, in anthracite, however, they were on the car when i brought them. Is there any way of telling?

A few pics of my BG182 and a mates 172 in London graffiti tunnel i visited over the weekend. Pictures were taken with S3 so crap quality, also i hope the pics work! (new to photobucket) C and C welcome!

Just brought some of these, whats the best thing to use to bond them into place? Cheers

If this is what your after then V-Maxx will be fine, i run them on my 182 with no problems.

The steering wheel, drivers and passengers inserts just prize off.. im not 100% about the centre console, may have to remove the head unit but im sure someone can confirm this.

As said, BTM in Birminham would be the place to go. I would personally go eibach sportlines for great handling but they only drop -30mm. If your after more of a drop, have a look at some coilovers.

This.

Cheers for your help / advice guys! :D

Yeah that's my biggest concern, i know my car and a new car could be problems. But im weighing up if its worth the gamble and like you said, i will then have money spare for mods ;) think i just need to man up and go for it! LOL

Currently own a 05 182 FF with under 48K, had the car a year, no problems, just had a service etc., tidy car, needing absolutely nothing! I haven't taken part in any track days yet, but it's something i would really like to get into so I’m thinking to sell up, get a phase 1 and start slowing...

as said, bumper off. There is a step by step guide in the guides section, was very helpful and only took 10 mins to get off!

Check the earth, if it looks in poor condition try giving it a clean up. i had a similar problem with my friends 172 xenons.

I also seen this! had ITB's and possibly cams? looked good though!

There's a handful of cars (about 7 or so) going from Salisbury, couple of clios. Leaving around 6 for a steady drive there!

Well i fell for it and forked out the £55.. it’s not too bad considering the possibilities of what could of happened if i hadn’t changed it.

Got mine checked changed a few weeks ago. Although the check was free (under warranty), they charged me £55 for fitting the new catch! :dapprove:

give the threads a good clean up to try and remove as much s**t as possible (an old toothbrush works well) and spray some WD-40 over them and letting them soak for a while.

i will be up for this (coming from salisbury area). There's also a 172 and a 197 that will come down with me!

Cadbury's purple? Not massively lairy, but it’s a bit different.
