The sprayed parts have turned out really well, impressed. Are you putting the gearknob decal on the insert or leaving as is?

Every wheel in those pics above were painted with rattle cans bought from Halfrauds, none of them were lacquered. As they were track wheels they were just rubbed down and sprayed either in the store room or the back garden.

Re: Petrol Blue 182 Photo Shoot (Mega Pixel Heavy?) Added Pics Really appreciate ALL the comments in the thread, thank you. I've been out again this evening, i thought i'd head out a lot earlier as it's really sunny with little or no clouds. Anyway, i won't bore you again with too many photos...

I've owned this Petrol Blue 182 since April this year and this is the first time i've taken some ok photos of it as i've just bought myself a new Canon bridge camera. So i gave it a wash after work and headed out to 3 locations not far from me, i'm sure some will recognise the location in some...

They never do when the sun isn't about, i have one (for sale too) and the last 5-6 weeks it's looked brilliant in full sunshine. Typical british weather means you hardly see it at it's best which is a shame

Road rage ;) If you're fully comp insured could you not just pay the excess to have the screen changed?

Top work Austin, i was about to purchase a new pair of seatbelts (£150) but after reading your thread and seeing the after pics i'll be giving mine a damn good scrub!

My daughter has an I Phone 4 (bought 2nd hand in decent condition) it's on a 12 month O2 contract which i pay the monthly bill as the contract is registered with me. The 4 works for her for internet, texting, music. £11 a month: 300 mins, unlimited texts, IIRC 500MB data The trend nowadays is...

I'm actually using the PB as a workhorse at the moment, as much as it's enjoyable to drive everyday, returns nothing less than 36MPG tank to tank, i'd rather be using a $hitbox derv to run that into the ground and have the PB as a weekend toy. On some jobs i have the boot literally full of...

A shame, it's up for £3300 and it's in the classifieds at the moment

Rare 1 of 30 Petrol Blue 182, full fat, full Spax coilover setup, on 72k, cambelt and service done at great expense at 66k, K Tec goodies

I see people have painted the front upper grills in Satin Black to great effect, so i was wondering has anyone painted the other black plastics like the foglight surrounds, rear bumper inserts in satin black too? Opinions, yes or no or just use a decent back to black product? If anyone has done...

There's a Renault breakers in Benfleet (Manor Trading Estate) 1st Call Renaults, that's where i bought mine from for about £10

£42 for a new 182 gearknob with insert

I'll be dissapointed when i take my rear discs off to not find the deflector washers behind them, they were missing on my last Clio as well. G 172, out of interest how much for OE rear discs delivered? PM if you prefer

My rear bearings are going already too, new discs with bearings fitted back in March. Non OE fitted, so I rang the parts guy at Renault I know and he can do a set of discs with bearings pressed in for £98.50. For a laugh I asked him how much for just the bearings, it worked out only £4 cheaper...

That link above says £6.32 each with free delivery, i'm going to order them this weekend

I'm going to order a couple for my 182 exhaust, but find an alternative fixing to the good ol zip tie :D Tap and die set, threaded countersunk screw that goes through the exhaust bracket, through the polybush mount then picks up a tapped hole other side of the exhaust mount. Worth a try, will...

Yep it's me! I live just off the seafront, parking is a nightmare most weekends when its sunny so i have to park it where it is in that pic. Kayzee PM me for any details about it if you like

I'm surprised too but there we go, Pistonheads maybe? Failing that it looks like i'm stuck with it for a while :o

Mine looks OE on the exterior but full Spax coilovers and Scorpion stainless exhaust with K Tec goodies under the bonnet. Tried selling it private but no luck so part exing being my next option. I also don't have the OE bits to swap over either, i guess sourcing the parts over the next 2-3 weeks...

Seems like the bottom has truly fallen out on the 182 market?

Looks amazing considering how it started out, and you're local :)

I'd put 182 seats in and a mk2 dash, but keep the exclusive seats and store them

Yep, i have plans in the pipeline and the PB at this moment in time doesn't fit in them

That no one wants to buy! :D Exclusive would be ideal as a turbo donor

Only 9 miles from me, looks nice and £895... To be fair any phase 1 i'd own again would have a mk2 dash fitted straight away... Need to sell the PB first for my future plans to work

21" rings a bell, i'm using the Bosch aero wipers bought from E Bay for about £17 a pair (Aceparts) The second set for my second clio and they work really well and no noise. I'm sure someone's mentioned that OE wipers are one at 21" and one at 20" but a pair of 21" will be fine.
