I brushed it on, I don't remember what stuff it was tbh. I did them about two years ago & tbh they still look nice.
Try the place I pm'd you, if not them a decent paint shop should be able to help you out mate.
When ever I see 172/182 owners around, I clock their car and they clock mine, then they turn their head away so fast it's a wonder how they don't snap their neck:S I don't even get to nod to them etc, miserable sods.
I do get a few liking my bodykit though lol.
Saw the back end of it driving down the road where is Fifteen place is just now (opposite Moorfield's eye hospital)
Quite rare to see RS clio's round here !
I'd go to a specialist imo. New brakes after a few months seems mad, unless you've tracked it or it's driven very hard everywhere.
Tbh though if you do need pads etc, you could probably give the brakes a shot yourself, they aren't overly hard to change at all really.
^ just what I was thinking.
Folk say that the front of the phase 1 172 looks ace over the phase 2 car, yet when it comes to a mk1 vee (with the same headlights as the phase 1 172) folk don't like them :S
I like my car a lot, so sod the haters.
Basically it comes down to how many of the cars are written off & stolen in your area etc, plus how much it'll cost to repair the car.
Some (including myself) have had some cracking quotes (well sub 1k) on some pretty expensive cars.
My old man his it in in his 172, he doesn't get that warning. Have you tried putting the disc in again ? He's got he 2007 disc iirc, but even with the old disc it never came up with that message.
I can't listen to that vid here, so can't say at the min.
I've driven it once without the covers on & tbh it's really weird (but kind of cool:o) hearing all the noises the engine makes. I didn't realise how how hot it gets in there without them on, until I got back in it & realised it was...
The 'OMG' exhaust was dubbed that because of how loud it actually is. A lot of folk fit them but then get fed up with not being able to hear their passenger over the noise it makes (in some cases that could be considered a good thing though)
Mines sotck, but imo improving the handling on the...
There one that's meant to have been presented to Tom Walkinshaw, it has it's own plack on it. Afaik it's not one of the counted eight cars. It's on a Y registration.
A Mk1 vee is 17.0 to a ton, the mk2 is 15.5 secs. Tbh on the road there isn't much in the performance of the two imo (doing normal speeds) the mk2 is heavier (by 70kg) but it has more power (30 bhp or so)
As already said, on a straight the vee will be quicker, but on bends the vee won't be...
If I were to have either colour i'd have to modify it (just wheels or something like that though)
Imo, the jdm wannabe boy above's RB 182 is one of the best on here, spot on mods imo:)
LY 182 wise, the car that had the KKZ 171 reg plate on it, is one of the best 182's on here imo:approve...
