Hope it gets sorted mate, my alternator gave up 2 weeks ago. So that's the water pump, pas pump and alternator that have died in the last 18months, fecking French build quality!

Mine did the same two weeks ago, STOP and Battery light came on and didn't go off regardless of revs. voltage was 11.76 when the car was off, dropping to 10 something when on, limped it to the garage and it needed a new alternator.

That looks sweeeet BB.

I loved the look of black wheels on mine, only changed them because some 2118's came up on here

Chris - drop Timsmeganer26 a pm, he sells the samco elbows now and again in the FS section. I got mine off him, brand new, for shall we say quite a good price. Also interested in what they quoted you (thinking of getting the same parts done on mine, and wouldn't mind knowing for a rough estimate)

Looks like mine circa 18 months ago. Really miss how the silver wheels made the rest of the car look brighter

Looks good mate. Don't know of anyone upgrading the xenons tbh, but silvervisions tidy the lights up a treat and get rid of the fried egg look.

Know what you mean mate, need to paint my rocker cover/engine mount now that the car is on ITB's as it's really letting the bay down. Not sure on whether to go matte black or VHT silver (which i like because it looks OEM)

It's the right choice keeping the wheels white Chris. What colour are you painting the engine parts?

Re: Davesrealgood's Arctic Blue Cammed 182 I love this car Dave, so many nice touches.

Yep. Loved my old LS400, was a really great wafting barge. Ran sweet as a nut, even after it was run dry and the headgaskets were fried (not by me, incidently)

Re: would never buy a clio again :( ^ Hmm, i pity the non sport owner then. My alternator and PAS pump both gave up in the last 6 months. Have also changed had the aux belt and idler/tensioner too. Still wouldn't sell it though.

Was going to say get the 17"s done black, but sod that if turbines are an option

+1 I am loving the slightly softer nature of the 15" 2118's I'm now running, has taken the edge off the crashy ride on coilies

Re: The 'TeamAriane' clio... Ghetto goodness. Got a few funny looks when I listened to that video clip on the train earlier, they didn't appreciate the raw unsilenced power at full volume on the iPad. Oops. To be fair, it makes my yozza seem silent in comparison.

Boo. Mine made 167bhp @ flywheel today. Although it would have made 200bhp if I'd used ATF in the gearbox iirc ;)

Nice. Looks good on the turbines mate. Perhaps lighten the rear tints as suggested and bin the L plate

Looking good Dan. Just realized I haven't pm'd you back, will do so now. Much love.

Same TBH, in some pics I don't like it, but looks awesome in the OP's. Ride height looks spot on too, good work that man.

How does that work JD? Is it like spraying the car with Megs last touch? And if they are not wiping it off, how do they dry the car?

Both looking sweet Dan, looking forward to having a look at the r27 in the new year (and hopefully without the snow!)

Re: The 'TeamAriane' clio... Ghetto goodness. Saw this in the corner of the workshop when I was up at BTM earlier this year, couldn't believe the price you paid for it Naith! It's in better nick than my 182, fml. Any more thoughts on the colour of the wrap? Or is that off the cards for a bit?

I still had a massive arch gap when running sportlines, only got issues with the bumper bracket when I fitted coilys and wound them right down

All good in my experience. Car is low on H&R's and no longer catches the front arches during spirited cornering like the 205's did. Price was also a healthy amount less!

Would you ever go back to any of the others Dan? (like you have with clios). Or with the evo's and subaru's is it a case of once you have tried them, that's the itch scratched? have often wondered about "upgrading" to an evo, but the 182 is fast enough for me and don't fancy the thirst of the...

Non cup packed 182's run ET45 wheels as standard mate - same as the anthracite 182 cup wheels, only in silver

Love it mate

Re: **show Es Your Engine Bay** Looking sweet as always Andy!

Despite much encouragement from me, my mum still isn't convinced that her mx-5 needs stance. :(

I want air, just wish I'd had the balls to see it through on my last car.
