PM Mattblack. He sells them for about £180 each ready to go. Much cheaper than Renault.

Lol at people worrying taking it off incase they go to sell their cars and someone questions it. Even if someone managed to notice and thought it had been in a rear end crash, I'm sure the first thing they'd do is ask, and/or check the bootwell for signs of repair. I think I'll take mine off...

Go for a carbon bonnet. Titanium is the best colour to pair with Carbon fibre IMO.

You're probably looking between £200-270 including fitting.

I have a brand new small pipercross in candy red if you fancy swapping? It was spare and never used.

Yeah, you're going to look like an eegit driving around without a bumper. If it's a phase 1 or 2 1.2 bumper, they're ten a penny on ebay anyway, so just do yourself a favour and cut a hole.

To be honest Inferno, I think Revels was going along the lines of it being pointless in the sense it was called a Cup, rather than the benefits of purchasing it over a non-cup 182. It's still an awesome car, but doesn't quite live up to the Cup name the 172 version created. But again, it's still...

Lol... here we go with the legality debate. I have xenons on my Cup buddy, just swapped the lights over, plugs are the same. You need to take your front bumper off though.

Do the the exact same damage to her car again. Then tell her, "Now let me show you how insurance works...." ...if you're feeling somewhat guilty of course ;)

Really? I dropped mine from more than that, it bounced, landed and fully sunmerged into a puddle. Works perfectly, except for a nasty dent on the side.

If you were using a standard rotary polisher, then as FM said, sounds like you've burnt through. If it was a deep scratch (ie: one you could catch with your fingernail with no problem), polishing would not have helped, so you would have had to get it painted anyway If I were you, I'd look as...

True. I didn't read that only part of the wheel was like this. Out of curiosity, what colour is the whels going? If it's black, I wouldn't worry too much about minor imperfections. It's silver that will show up everything.

probably. The plastic lips are quite flexible.

Use a bit if thinners to remove it all, apply a very very light haze of primer, leave it to dry for 10 mins, then apply a slightly thicker coat, do the same again and keep builing up in very light coats untill you've covered the repair/wheel At the moment, your primer is reacting and cracking...

Lucky you never bought that 182 bumper, because the hole spaces are different!

You'd sell your car for a tenner because you don't like them? How much would you sell it for if you liked them?! ;)

Probably about £400 depending on any dents/scratches needing filled, and the condition of the original paintwork.

Go and enjoy yourself. For the love of God. It's just a car. Go fully comp next time eh?

Yes. It's a modification.

£1200 seems a bit over prices to me. I own a bodyshop, if I were you, I'd go down the scrappies and find a second hand bootlid and back bumper. I repaired a dynamique and sourced a silver bootlid, with glass and spoiler for £70. You'll get a bumper off ebay for £20 max. Get those bits yourself...

What carot is the gold in the paint?

Spray it black and laquer it.

WRC's. Paid 600 notes for 16"s with wheelnuts and delivery from POTN.com

It's just 4 bolts matey. Easiest panel you can remove IMO. Just remember to unplug the washer jets. You'll need someone to help you lift it though. Word of advice. When you do eventually bolt the carbon one on, lower the bonnet carefully incase the alignment is off. Save yourself a scraped...

No problem. I'll post pictures later and PM you to remind ya. It's mainly of the spoiler and the Cup being resprayed. There's a few pics of the roughness of the black carbon effect plastic though

... there's a 'bold' button?? ;)

It's cliche but have you tried Elephant? At least you can keep your mods. I was with them the frist year, then directline, and back to Elephant. I'm about £980 including wheels, exhaust, IK, 'Interior changes,' and my yet to be fitted 'lowering springs.' Not a bad deal. Managed to get the...

They're not leather either IIRC

My car runs alot smoother with VPower. I keep thinking I'm fooling myself and switch back to super unleaded. Then I'll stick VPower in and it just seems so much smoother and 'warmer' from the go. I dunno. You'll probably want to drive it all the time at first obviously, and my old Dynamique...

The quality of the fake carbon bits are pretty poor. I know someone's going to argue with me, but we had a brand new 197 Cup in and I spend an afternoon taking off the spoiler, sanding the rough black plastic edges (along with the skirts),filling pinholes and dents in the worst peice of genuine...
