What he said. Did mine in a few hours. Mirrors, grill, fog surrounds, rear wiper plastic. Just got the rear bumper insert and scuttle to do.

Yeah it goes on like water. I used humbrol enamel paint. Just to warn you. You can enamel over cellulose car paints but not usually the other way round. The enamel sometimes reacts and bubbles when sprayed over. If you ever spray over it you'd probably have to sand it back first.

I used a fine modelling brush. Took my time. 6 light coats to build it up. Light heat gun between coats to speed up the drying time. If I over painted I just wiped it off straight away. When it was fully dried I just sprayed some of the manifold colour in a small pot for any touch ups around the...

Looks great. Gonna paint the writing??

Found it on here. It was a naff carbon effect so just painted it mondial blue, then masked the lettering before satin blacking it with a rattle can. Had a spare Cliosport decal to finish it off.

Welcome. This forum is brilliant. Is it mondial blue or a rare iceberg silver? Might see you around as your fairly local:wink:

Looks sexy. Will look awesome when fitted. Do agree though seems a tad expensive but it's just an opinion. Post up some pics when done, can't wait.:up:

Showing your age then :laughing:. Cheers for the feedback :up:

should be ok. My inlet is just halfrauds silver for some rover. Just picked a colour I liked. Yellow on black would look awesome.

sorry for the slow reply. I just painted by hand using some humbrol enamal paint I had left from my Tamiya kit making days. Its camel yellow if your old enough to remember Nigel mansells Williams fw14b f1 car circa 1992. I had a huge model I made years ago. It did need 6 coats though!!

I just rattle canned my fuel rail guard and manifold with some Halfords paint. They dont get hot so didn't bother with anything too fancy.

yep that's the one. The front nut and bolt if you loosen it you'll see it has some forward and backward adjustment. Might take a few goes. I think from memory I just slammed it as far back as it would go.

I had this. Its hitting the sub frame. There's an adjustment on the front of the dog bone. The extending arm that bolts to the bottom of the engine/transmission is there to effectively tilt the engine slightly forward or back a few millimeters. Its black and bolts to the front of the dog bone. I...

welcome to the forum.

pic of mine, work in progress

Love the 172/182's but would never part with £4k for one. Bit of dealer tax added on for that price... That's almost mint Trophy money. Happy shopping though.

Yep. Cheers for that. Having a touch screen spaz out this morning :tongueclosed:

Talking about the pollen filter, hit the wrong button, doh!

I need to do this. Am I right in thinking it's under the scuttle panel on the drivers side?? Any info appreciated.

197 with the spoiler. 200 just looks a bit meh.. Just an opinion. See a gordini 197 on the way to work and it looks cheap imo. LY FTW :laughing:

RB 182 parked on luckwell rd, spotted on way to work looking lovely.

Hi dan. Can't make it I'm afraid. Bit gutted but family stuff has come up. Might try and make it to goodwood for Origine RS a few weeks later.

Nice little Clio. Wish my first car was that nice. Love the shiny-ness.

Welcome. Good choice. Pics up when collected, hope all goes well.

Flamer on avonmouth Coast rd @ 14:00 ish. Silver 182 with black stripes on bishops worth rd about 17:00 ish. Grey/Anthracite 172 in sainsburys car park, custom paint job??

Nice buy. I had the pops and bangs on my first 172. Fun for about three weeks then drives you insane. But your choice, have fun whatever you choose, love titanium's:wink:

Hmmmmmm

Here's mine.

I'd be up for this. If its good enough for dan@sjm then that's surely 1st choice??
