Pics would help, depending on depth, length etc... Small scratches CAN in some cases be touched in with a paint pen then sanded down and polished back up... but if its deep and nasty you will either need a respray or a smart repair done.

Cant stand anything swinging about from the rear view... magic tree on the indicator stalk is the place for me

Im not familiar with exhausts, but it looks like it broke off after the cat flange, so hopefully someone will confirm, but that fitting kit should unbolt off and leave the cat ready to bolt a new exhaust on.

Just read from the start, some nice mods, your picture locations are fantastic, i need to hunt more for a good location for a shoot. More of a fan of the smart fast road look i think you had going than the track look you've gone for towards the end but i still like it !

Diffuser? you mean like on the rear of a 197? Or do you mean a splitter?

Bad luck mate, im going to be getting the RS192 i think, a few on here have it and like it, Its not the platinum standard of exhausts but i think it sounds good in a few videos so might go for it around or after xmas. http://www.rs192.co.uk/page1.htm

I have bills from the previous owner, and my middle silencer doesn't look OEM, so id take it to a exhaust place and possibly get a new silencer fitted or price on up. The exhaust you've linked i think are made by toyo sport, i asked for a name and that's all i found on on here, i don't think...

Looks nice mate.

Go to an exhaust place and get them to weld it together?

Depending on what engine you have... http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1013&appid=4 f**k me thats expensive though! EDIT: oh last time i looked it was just the adapter plate for 40 odd...

Cheers.

As above please, is the trophy's exhaust the same as a normal 182? Thanks.

Re: Headlight lacquer on your 1*2 gone a bit "funny" ? very impressed with this ki I started with 800 and wish i didnt do that on my old lights... took me ages to get the deeper scratches out, strangely my 182s lights are in very good condition even though i was fully prepared to have to be...

581 offset iirc http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Vehicle-Parts-Accessories-/131090/i.html?_nkw=offset+silver&_catref=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m1538

That picture you've linked is god awful! nice find haha.. If it was me, id get a recessed system or a stealth, if you search you will find some examples so you can judge what they look like.. But as with most things on cars, if you want it to look nice you will have to spend a little bit of...

Also like this, goes together well.

Ok fellas cheers, yeah when i was looking at the car i said to him have they been upgraded, he said he didnt know, but the owner before him has had them changed i think, only way to know will be to whip the bumper off i guess.

What exhaust is on the RB please?

I searched "Osram xenon" but didnt get my answer I have what i think is standard white 4300k bulbs, the previous owner told me he had to have new bulbs and levellers (i think) due to an mot failure, so im thinking i could possibly have some cheap D2S bulbs in there since the change, the light...

Just read your thread from start mate, nice upgrades and progress, shame the exhaust doesn't sit snug but its much better than it was before.

Nice purchase Tom, will be following the progress on this.

Your cars got loads of potential mate, just had a look at your project thread. If i was you id go for a few sheep mods, things like bucket seats and racing pedals on a 1.4 wont look very good. I think your trying to attempt the track look, and i don't think its working, its either all or...

In my opinion, spend your money on something else, no one will see them but your feet... Spend the money on something that will be seen or used better.

Definitely not too young, there are people double your age still enjoying a Renault Sport Just offer whats fair and negotiate on price, although obviously don't take the piss, just take in consideration the condition, if the belts have been done and servicing etc.

http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/exterior-coatings/c4-permanent-trim-restorer/ This is a semi-permanent plastic restorer, search my name and find my project thread if you want to see how the application and finish looks like. Edit, the exhaust surrounds with the heat... C4 has worked well...

Ok cheers for the advice, ive got a trade card so might get the repair kit and fit it, Yeah ive reset it a few times, i think in all honesty me jacking up the exhaust mounts is whats cause it to either crack or work lose and cause the blowing... Hopefully ill have a newer system put on anyway

Yeah ill get it on stands and have a look i think, the max MPG im getting was 31.7, and im driving like a granny sometimes to see if it can improve, with the noise... i think its blowing and possibly losing me some power... maybe not but who knows. If i find a leak, the paste stuff just...

PM'd TIG cheers So i need to turn the head unit up to the maximum id sort of listen to day to day, and adjust the levels so it sounds right? Is sub level control on the head unit settings? i have subwoofer: on/off/reverse and then i select on from that and it goes into the Hz settings...

Cheers for the reply mate, ive done the heat shield fix, just used a bigger washer like the guide. In the many receipts for the car the previous owner went all out at Renault and one of the things was a new exhaust part (which im not sure, but its not the rear back boxes) and a new fitting kit...

When i bought my 182 i didnt notice this metallic rattle i now have at low revs and cold... Although since having it for a short time, i used the copper pipes cable tied in place to raise the tail pipes a bit, After that i had a clunking noise which i found to be a loose heat shield which is...
