Spotted a silver 172, private plate with black wheels heading north bound on the A507 Wednesday evening, can't remember the exact time but we left milton keynes at 6pm and back home in Essex by 8pm so somewhere in the middle. lol.
You wouldn't have spotted me as I was driving a silver Golf.
After cleaning the GF's golf last week I applied a thin layer of C2 concentrate to the whole car (paint/ plastics/ glass etc) and application and buff off was so easy I simply do not trust it's capabilites. At least applying a wax you gat a visible layer on the paint.
Washed the car this...
Been slowly reading and reading and building up kit so decided to attack my GF's Mk4 Golf TDi in silver to get some proper practice. I'll put up pics later once they've all downloaded but it was in a pretty dirty mess.
I borrowed a megs G220 from a friend, and used a C.Guys Hexlogic green /...
Occasionally I would get a little flicker of pinks / purple colours across the screen that I just put down to the monitor not being that good (cheapy Advent). Today the whole screen had changed in its shading to make whites light pink, orange reds and yellow all now appear an inferno orange...
Wasn't asure if this should be in hear or media or photography, buit as the pics appear on hear I'm after advise on the best way to capture them.
I don't have any fancy SLR, just a Fujifilm FinePix but when I've tried before I never really seem to be able to capture them. Do I take it in...
I changed my inlets on my 182 at the weekend and got a shock when I looked at the inlet ports. Is this normal as I've not heard anything mentioned on here before.
Apologies for the mobile phone pic.
I know they like to ruff it up a little to get a better air / fuel mix but not expecting this
I've not really looked into the options previously for replacement mounts, but there didn't seem to be much available. I had the OE mounts for 4 years before they started to fail, replaced them with aftermarket mounts available but they have lasted a little over a year.
SO..... I bought 2x...
Blue 182 with aftermarket exhaust and gloss black 182 wheels passed me this morning on Essex Regiment Way going into Chelmsford, followed a few cars back before I turned into the Uni and you headed off into Chelmsford.
What was that exhaust??????
I've tried cleaning the silver seatbelts in my 182 with several APC's but they never come out completely clean, and nothing seems to remove the blood stain on them.
anyone know if the mounting points, buckles etc are the same on the 200 belts, thinking of loking into getting the yellow belts...
Coming along the Braintree by-pass this morning when I see a nice blue 200 pushing me along, pull out of his way as I had the dogs in the car to see it with full ugly front bumper (IMO) the std 5 spoke 17's and the 200 rear valance and exhaust trims, but with the 197 'RS' badge that I thought a...
I'm sure i've spotted your 172 cup around here and tesco's a few times now as I'm sure you have a private plate, then spotted you at the petrol station this morning.
I know the Clio badge has the 2 pins, is the RS badge the same or is it just stuck on.
Want to remove it so I can clean off all the rubbish between and behind it.
Whats the difference? Is it the length of time for durability? if so I wouldn't of thought the soft waxes would sell that well.
I'm looking at getting a tester pot of orange crush or bananna armour to se if it's worth the extra ££ for my LY 182
My dads been a renault mechanic for the past 20+ years and has plenty of random spares.
He has an injection computer for a 1.8 16v clio still in its OE box and wants to get rid. whats it worth if anything or anyone after one?
Right I've been reading through so many threads regarding this lately that I'm sick of the search function.
I'm after something to lower the car a little (but not much) and help improve the handling. My 182 has the cup suspension kit so I'm limited in choice. I've had Eibach Sportlines fitted...
My 182 is just about to hit the 60k miles mark which is only a basic service IIRC. In October / November time it will be 5yrs old so is suggested that a 72k mile service (cambelts) be done.
My question is do I have the basic service now then the full service in 6months time, or do the full...
Spotted a nice silver 182 lowered with silver speedlines as I pulled into Homebase at Tollgate, Stanway
I parked in front of you in a sliver golf. Was looking for you as I went round Homebase but didn't spot you.
Had an accident back in November where I went in to the back of a Mondeo, air bag didn't deploy and generally the the damage wasn't as bad as originally thought.Got the car back just before xmas and now the car picks up on every bump, hole, road camber or anything. Some time it pulls to the left...
Sunday afternoon/ late lunchtime saw a white Clio 16v, I think with white wheels coming out of Writtle onto the roundabout with the A414 heading towards Highlands Park
