Could you not have the current engine repaired? Would be nice to keep the original engine.

@dablk Has a set for sale i do believe.

Excellent mate. Just don't sell the 182 for peanuts as its a lovely motor.

What you got?

My biggest worry with a decat is increasing the flat spot that these cars suffer from. Can be mapped out but of course an added cost and inconvenience. As for noise I'm not sure tbh.

Buy a set of decent second hand recaros or don't bother buddy. They look gash and when you start adding subframes, sliders etc you won't be far off the price of the recaros, the recaros will also be easy enough to shift on afterwards if required.

Yes they work very well - had them on 2 x 182's now. As for fitment you simply cut ALL the old black rubber out of your original mounts and slide these in with a bit of fairy liquid.

Somebody has fitted a standard squib (no cruise control). So yes you need one as per your photo - fingers crossed that should sort it.

Yes mate you need BMW 1 series. Have a quick search on here and you find the link. About £30 I think.

As above push screwdriver in bottom hole, lever the holes into alignment, put top bolt in then remove screwdriver and fit bottom bolt. Easy.

Yes more photos please :)

Epic............

@CDES

Yes all good over here in sunny Sheffield you keeping well?

Hi Darren, face looks to be diamond cut which will need re-welding and cutting back - not a cheap repair. Is the grey painted area marked also? factor this in (if it is) and then possibly not matching in colour :( So: (1) live with it (2) buy a new wheel - would be my preferred option...

Looks like he has already done it judging by the trickle stream going under the rear of the paxo.

Good question :) And how much you been quoted? Keep us updated.

I have just paid £10 for a 10 day listing. No more fees involved.

Thanks for letting me know and quite disappointing for how much they cost.

Tpi polarised rust? Really fancied some so I'm glad you said that.

@barnesautos Have you bought anything yet to do this set up as I know a man that is currently stripping a full kit from a Trophy. Try @dablk

Gorgeous :) But yes calipers black and centre caps same colour as the wheels.

Thanks for letting me out matey :) @AJR182

Awesome matey and i'm so happy you're happy with it :) and I couldn't think of better person to look after it. I think I need to change my avatar now ;)

Wow 1 post in 4 years! Yes you do win a prize :) As for the removing pops and bang (without the need of a garage) you could buy a second hand rs tuner OR a second hand ecu kit.

8 x 13mm nuts underneath, disconnect wiring plugs under the seats, lift seats out both cars out and swap and refit. Best to disconnect the battery for 30 mins to depressurise the airbag system on the car with original seats in.

Only about a fiver mate.

I know it sounds strange but worked on mine. Disconnect the plug and spray with brakes or carb cleaner DONT use wd40 as this doesn't dry properly.

I had exactly the same recently on 2 of my clios and for strange reason I cleaned the wiring connector under the passenger seat and sorted both.

Yes mate - lone nose pliers and thin fingers, lol.
