i would advise widening your search. i travelled two hours on the train to crewe to look at a 182. my mates thought i was crazy but when i saw the car i knew it was worth the travelling...even left a deposit and caught the train the following week again to pick the car up.
its sod's law...
looks nice mate! i wanted either a ST or a 182 but went with a 182, would defiantly of had one is this colour tho.
if it was mine id look at some breathing mods....with a air filter and better exhaust ive heard there a tottally different car!
Sounds sensible if it was mine id be keeping it standard and having it looking immaculate for now :) also the front bumper is crying out for a splitter.
you going for standard discs and pads or aftermarket?
yeah i think they look much better anthracite.
yeah the skoda fabia spiltters are cheaper but if i remmber rightly they arent a exact fit, im sure you have to cut a bit of each end, but easily done.
someone correct me if im wrong!
Looking good pal :) cracking on with some modifications aren't you :)
whats the future plans?
also what gear knob is that would quite like to change mine cos the standard one is quite worn?
when looking for a 182 i looked at all the colours they were made in and the first colours that caught my eye most were Artic Blue and Racing Blue so i knew there and then i wanted one in either colour.
8 months later and ive just bought an Artic Blue FF 182 so just go on the colour you prefer...
If i was in your position i'd definatly consider the mk 5 ZS. if just upgraded to a 182 after owning a ZS for 2 and a half years. very fun car to drive, handle well and a decent amount of power. the only downside i can say about them is the rust, i couldn't get rid of it but apart from that...
Oh so your the other person that was interested :) I know pal it was too good a price for me not to get it. I was gonna wait for a bit to contact dave cos I didn't think there woild be much interest around xmas time so I'm so glad I did get in contact and go see the car or I would have missed out!
I know and its the only one ive been to look at so ive fell lucky because i would have had standard one no questions asked, but i probably would have wanted the mods it has got! so im chuffed to bits with it :)
so i sold my mk5 zetec S at the weekend and went to pick this up today.....
As some of you may know the car belonged to 'Badger' AKA Dave. It's a Full Fat version with only 38,000 miles on the clock with FSH. It has a few choice modifications which include....
Recaro Trendlines...
bad luck pal i live in arnold and ive recently been seeing a silver 182 round ill keep my eye out for it and if theres any damage to it ill make a note of the reg number
good job you realised in time pal! im quite lucky because my local garage actually send a letter out a month before my MOT is due. obviously this is done so they get the business but least it reminds me ha!
