i would go for the most bassy rear speakers possible and have the ones with most trebble up front for the best quality of sound.

that car is awesome! love it. engine bay is stunning! the black looks great.

tom was silly to get rid, they look incredible! front just needs to go 10mm lower, rear is perfect. do not paint your badges etc white! dont you dare! will look far better anthracite or maybe black.

yes its worth it imo. makes the driving position slightly better. lowers the seats by about 10mm. there is a guide on here with pics. just make sure you replace the thick washers that you remove with thin ones if you want your seat to slide back and forwards. takes no time at all too.

matte black, with matte black wheels and mirrors

that pic looks like greeny's car. if so im pretty sure its peugeot steel grey. i would do them that colour. dont like white wheels especially on black cars.

^^ i think the battery covers look a bit naff. i prefer spraying the terminal box instead. like this. i had a go at making a battery cover from an old bath pannel. did the job. i tried to design it to keep the cold air in the right place tho with the top feed removed to the airbox.

i disagree. but thats your opinion so its fair enough. shame you don't really get on with it. lovely car.

slam it on anthracite wheels! looks good tho. love lupo's.

trust me it can handle more than 230bhp. my mate at jabbasport has one, think its running 300bhp at the moment at least and the power is very useable. it is insane now its running kw's, 4 pots and r888's :cool:

nice to see something a little different. i like it, not the shark fin tho.

sounds good to me too beij. looking forward to it :)

powerwise. on a 172 i would say 182 manifold, uprated exhaust, espace v6 airbox setup, rs tuner, inlet matching. not huge gains but it will rev better.

you will find more info/advice using the searh. i would say the first things to do would be slightly uprated (fast road) discs and pads, braided brake lines, fresh fluid, coilovers or fast road suspension setup, decent tyres. no power increase but a much improved car.

240 mile trip sounds a bit much to me too. might be up for it another time tho. is the plan to go to rutland water then, or hunstanton?

really like that tom. looking good mate. i did just prefer the turbines tho.

awesome!

red. bright red!

i do like r32's and that one looks very nice. but ed30's get my vote every time.

really like that. looks awesome! grille intake is pretty smart.

best bet is go to your local quick fit. same donut (cat mani washer) as in pug 306's i think. quite common. i call in at quickfit and they gave me one for free! beats renault and k-tec prices.

i love ph1's. looks good, like you say it just needs a little tlc scratches taken care of etc. lay off the caps lock!

but miltek make their own decat. pretty cheap too

flol at the bumper! the shape and the bad colour match. and the flames down the side! haha!

that is a terrible car!

chrome wipers yo!

come along :) we sometimes have my mate in his ed30 tagging along too, nice to see other cars even if they can destroy ours.

i am indeed. work for a.j bird barthrooms. who do you work for?

had plans for then but i should be able to shuffle things around, 99% sure i can make it. 1. beij 2. richo 3. tom (Wests Renault) 4. Dean (presland1990) 5. davis88 6. tommy g 7. tom84 8. Dolby (donphan) 9. clio_luke

the stock exhaust system and wheels really let the 182's down imo. the wheels dont look too bad but they are very heavy and do not allow much air circulation to the brakes. and the exhausts just look too small for the cut-outs and sound cack and get holes in them very easily.
