How badly does the top RS Grill (on a 1*2) get stone chipped?
I've got a carbon fibre dipped on, but unsure whether just to put it on for special occasions (such as shows/meets) or leave it no permanently...
Just wondering if anyones had any experiences with dipped or even sprayed grills, and...
Bit of a bump here but a good read, I'm half tempted to upgrade my speakers and get a sub, and your setup sounds just about perfect!
Did you fit a second sub after?
Few little things coming along on the 182,
Fitted some Cooksport Springs, which have helped get rid of some of that massive arch gap, and I'm hoping they may drop ever so slightly more once all settled

Well this is embarrassing....
Fitted my Heko Window Deflectors tonight, and I'm having problems!
Fitted them like normal, sticky tape, 2 clips each side, left window for over an hour closed to let them settle and sit properly
Problem is back of the window keeps catching the rear of the wind...
Which way around are the rear cooksport springs meant to go?
Front are obvious, due to different size at each end, but the rears are exactly the same size.
Is it so the text is the right way up, or so it's upside down?
I would of taken a couple of photos of the spring, but bloody didn't...
Being really lazy and cheeky here as at work and shouldn't really be on here, Is everyone still using the the parts from the original links/post?
Or have people found different/better alternatives?
Cheers!
Original links are these ...
Loving the car buddy, looks spot on!
What's the point of being able to swap between low and high boost on the switch?
Also, what spoiler is on that other LY? The one with the blue bumper.
Almost looks like the non-cup spoiler with an additional spoiler on top?
Thought I better update this thread!
Ended up ordering some PS3's from Oponeo, ordered Friday just gone midday....and they arrived Monday late morning!!
I'm bloody impressed tbf, cheaper than anyone in the UK, free postage and I bet they wouldn't (physically couldn't) arrive any sooner...Big...
Overall Tom, fairly good - but I'd be lying if I said they were mint
I'm trying to look in the photos to see if I can see any marks, but I'm struggling haha
I'm sure they do have a couple here and there, I know the one on the rear right has a slight scuff
I'll briefly explain what we did, as on the phone now and it's not the easiest - new hanger was welded on, then fitted to a tigersealed exhaust mount after people recommending it a lot, I'll admit it doesn't look the prettiest but certainly does the job, besides who will actually see it...
It's a custom made exhaust made by a company in Lancashire
If I'm honest for £360 I'd be fairly disappointed - just the fact one of the exhaust hangers has come off (hence why it was so low) after only 6 months. I've got to admit though, it does sound amazing!
I'll upload some more...
That's why I went for it, was really after Arctic Blue but one coming up as tidy and low mileage as this was doubtful
I'll admit it's not perfect, there's a couple of stone chips on the bonnet, the odd small scratch here and there, but I was very impressed for a 10 year old car
I reckon...
Thanks buddy, overall for a 10 year old black car I'd say it's in very good condition! Obviously been looked after
Yep, original cup splitter fitted, which is a perk! They are stupid money to replace, when you think you can get skoda ones for not much over £10!
Right, sorting the exhaust out was tonight's plan, and made good progress
How it is currently :
And how it will look :
It'll all be welded up tomorrow and mounts sorted, but I'm just currently deciding how much I want it to poke out :
Think that's what I'm going for, but I can always...
Oh don't you bloody start lol
Still wish I went Arctic Blue ngl, but the chances of finding one as tidy and low mileage as this we're extremely slim, especially as I was starting to get impatient haha
If I lived in town I think I'd stick to the black, as it does look lush cleaned...just not...
Did my very first detail on the car today, well infact it's the first time I've actually done the full works - clay, polish & wax
Quite pleased how it went overall, couple of things learnt and which I can improve on!
So took a couple of snaps whilst the sun was still out :

Thought it's about time to start a progress thread for my 182, since I've had it a couple of weeks now :

Got to laugh, went to order the Goodyears from Camskill and they've taken them off their website!!
Looks like I'll be ordering some PS3's...just deciding between Oponeo and MyTyres (same price)
I would get them from TyreLeader (either the GY's or PS3's) as they are almost £10 cheaper but I...
Interesting that you say that, I spoke to my local fitters and they don't have Asymmetric 2's, but they do have GSD3's at £85 per corner (fitted and balanced) but reading the reviews on here, they don't seem the best : http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Goodyear/Eagle-F1-GSD3.htm
Just goes to...
Just looking at the PS3's, and there seems to be a couple of different versions :
My tyres list 3 different versions, one is obviously different at 83V (Rather than 87W), but what's the difference between the GRNX and non GRNX?
Also, Camskil (which I'd probably order them from), list two...
Cheers for that, just been on their website - not too bad at £30
If I'm honest I prefer it to the standard black faces I think, just looks a bit more modern IMO
PM coming your way now buddy
Before you start all shouting at me to use the search bar, I should point out that I have!
People tend to recommend the Goodyear's as a cheaper alternative than than PS3's, but these were older threads when the price difference was quite large, but now the price is within £5 on each tyre so...
Does anyone offer a LED Conversion service on here?
It's something I'd like done but no way would I trust myself to do it
Ideally after a Blue and White scheme like this :
I'm assuming the clock faces were changed in this one, due to being white rather than black?
