Alternatively, you could consider a carbon fibre one?

I've heard soaking them in coke overnight free's up the adjusters? But i haven't personally tried this myself.

The exhaust trims are clipped into position, the clips are a rubbery plastic, (same as the fog surrounds). You will need to move the exhaust rather than the trim.

I had this on my old fiesta with Cosworth wheels, one of the rear wheels was noticeably more pushed out, and I was told it was tolerances, just a lot more noticeable when the car is lowered.

Cheers guys, i believe they are cup, in anthracite, however, they were on the car when i brought them. Is there any way of telling?

A few pics of my BG182 and a mates 172 in London graffiti tunnel i visited over the weekend. Pictures were taken with S3 so crap quality, also i hope the pics work! (new to photobucket) C and C welcome!

Just brought some of these, whats the best thing to use to bond them into place? Cheers

If this is what your after then V-Maxx will be fine, i run them on my 182 with no problems.

The steering wheel, drivers and passengers inserts just prize off.. im not 100% about the centre console, may have to remove the head unit but im sure someone can confirm this.

As said, BTM in Birminham would be the place to go. I would personally go eibach sportlines for great handling but they only drop -30mm. If your after more of a drop, have a look at some coilovers.

This.

Cheers for your help / advice guys! :D

Yeah that's my biggest concern, i know my car and a new car could be problems. But im weighing up if its worth the gamble and like you said, i will then have money spare for mods ;) think i just need to man up and go for it! LOL

Currently own a 05 182 FF with under 48K, had the car a year, no problems, just had a service etc., tidy car, needing absolutely nothing! I haven't taken part in any track days yet, but it's something i would really like to get into so I’m thinking to sell up, get a phase 1 and start slowing...

as said, bumper off. There is a step by step guide in the guides section, was very helpful and only took 10 mins to get off!

Check the earth, if it looks in poor condition try giving it a clean up. i had a similar problem with my friends 172 xenons.

I also seen this! had ITB's and possibly cams? looked good though!

There's a handful of cars (about 7 or so) going from Salisbury, couple of clios. Leaving around 6 for a steady drive there!

Well i fell for it and forked out the £55.. it’s not too bad considering the possibilities of what could of happened if i hadn’t changed it.

Got mine checked changed a few weeks ago. Although the check was free (under warranty), they charged me £55 for fitting the new catch! :dapprove:

give the threads a good clean up to try and remove as much s**t as possible (an old toothbrush works well) and spray some WD-40 over them and letting them soak for a while.

i will be up for this (coming from salisbury area). There's also a 172 and a 197 that will come down with me!

Cadbury's purple? Not massively lairy, but it’s a bit different.

They go fairly low, i'm running them ATM with 16" wheels, but the wheels hit the inner arch (lining) before you run out of thread on the coilovers.

I have VMaxx on mine, use my car as a daily and don't do track days. I would say they are good enough for what you need. Obviously the ride will be slightly harder, but still comfortable IMO.

why not buy a 172, keep on your driveway / garage or whatever and you can slowly mod that to how you want for when the insurance is right? You can still do subtle mods to your 1.2 (lower, wheels...) Just remember there's more to just buying and insuring, running cost of a 1*2 can get expensive...
