Cheers Guy. I saw a chap on here with a Silver 182 with LEDA coils - I believe he's had engine work too from GDI. Be good if he can give me a heads up on LEDA? Prices, etc. Tyson.

^^^ Agreed mate - I was looking at black, but my first car was black, and a pain to clean! Opted for Artic as it doesn't show quite as much, and when you do clean/polish it - it really shows and stands out. GT_Gaz - Get Artic or Racing, you know you want too...;) Tyson.

Thanks Andy and thanks guys. I'll pop you a line in the New Year when i've sorted a few other things out. I dont mind travelling so i'll be coming down your neck of the woods soon enough. Do you have many time slots available during Jan Feb? I'm unsure on how soon you need to book? I'm guessing...

Awesome! Great colour. Tyson.

Colour-code and drop it....a LOT. Tyson.

I had previously read that HR didn't fit on to a 182. Does anyone know if they're developing or adapting their Coils so that they fit to a 182? What work has anybody had at GDI's? Gains/costings, etc? Tyson.

Seems a little cheap to me seen as its "Mint" - How many previous owners? When you say an independant Dealer who are you talking about? Not some pikey at the local Car Supermarket are you? Is it an import? If you do go for it, then make sure the warranty is still in tact, and do all the basic...

Looking good mate. Sorry to hear about your Bro - Nightmare! Tyson.

Certainly will Omar! 182 bhp in standard trim is enough power for a small hatch, i'm just looking to put it on a diet, and try and get around 200 bhp / tonne (or more), then look to do more engine work. I've heard good stuff about GDI so i will PM him/them in the NY. Thanks guys. Tyson.

Gun Metal or Anthracite imo. Let us know what you choose! Tyson.

^^^ LOL, exactly what i was thinking! Tyson.

Thanks for the welcome and comments guys. My insurance is that much because i bought my Authentique brand new with cash, so i chose to go on my dads policy and stayed on that for 3 years, so i dont have any NCB's! On the up side and as i mentioned before, my boss paid my insurance premium off...

Can Fred source them for cheaper too? Where is he based? Tyson.

19 with a 182? Crikey that is very good going! Hows the insurance? Good thing with mine is that my boss paid the insurance for me - 2.1k! £750 for HR's is what i had in mind so spot on really. Pictures of 182's with them on would be helpful! Opionions also would be good. :D

Excellent mate. Looks absolutely stunning! My choice of RS would be in Black/Gold if my first car wasn't black! Tyson.

That looks sweet! I need someone to shop them on to my RS! Tyson.

Dutty - What exhaust do you have!? Tyson.

Manchester mate. Holding it strong in the NW, lol. I've noticed that not a lot of members are from my neck of the woods? Could be wrong though. Are HR Coils the ones to go for? How much we talking? I'm not shy with money, but everything has limits! Stu_F - I wont be doing much to the...

I'm in currently on 30.9 MPG buts that because i dont go near a motorway on my way to work. I reset my Trip when i fill up, and it usually shows an accurate reading after a 20/30 miles or so. Mine is usually at 34/35 MPG, but because of this cold weather (and with me starting my car on these...

If you reset the Trip Comp everytime you get in then it will go up and down more frequently. I only reset it when i fill up my tank. Mine does go down when stationary at lights, but what the heck? You've got one of these cars for a reason! Don't be paranoid about fuel, just drive it! Tyson.

Thanks for the comment! I'm on very good money for a 21 year old, but i thought the HR Coilover set were only made for the 172? Correct me if i'm wrong. Tyson.

Hope you get it sooner rather than later! Fingers crossed. Tyson.

^^^ I'd agree with the rest! Cold air is better! Tyson.

Hi all! After reading pretty much everything on this site for the last week or so, i thought it was about time to say hello, so hello! A bit of background: I'm 21 years old and I previously owned a Mk2 1.2 8v Authentique - Why or why you probably ask? Answer is i was an in-experienced 17 year...
