Lemforder and Meyle HD are probably the best “pattern parts” you’ll buy Darren. 🙂👍🏼

Unfortunately not very thanks anyway mate. I want to try and replicate the OEM silver or have a nice bright silver as I think that will look best.

Lovely job on that scuttle dude. Looks almost familiar. 😅👌🏼

Shame they can’t get an exact match for the OEM colour in hydro dip. Really struggling to get some paint to do them at the moment.

Nice, what were your favourites in terms of looks and quality?

I’ve also found some scrub marks on the NSF where the arch has a domed section in it. The OSF doesn’t have this pressing. Anyone else encountered this before? Before I’m asked. Wheels - 15”x7” ET43 Tyres - 195/50/15 Toyo R888 15mm wheel spacers

So today’s little jobs. Service parts arrived from RPD so I cracked on with her oil/filter. First time she’s had Castrol rather than the ELF oil. Whilst under the car I saw quite a lot of dispersed oil which I traced as PAS fluid. Close inspection found a crack in the switch housing. So I’ve...

Theyre covered in ACF50, Dynax in some areas and wear these heavy duty covers so I think I’ve given them the best I can to stay in the best condition. Just want to be able to get out and try them properly.

Id say so yes. Generally Lemforder items are very good.

Cool. How did you mount the belt receiver?

Beautiful job mate, especially by hand. Great results, she’s looking better than ever. 😍

Get them on nice wheels and sitting properly and they’re one of the most aggressive looking little cars out there. Zero overhang, wheels at the corners, low and fat. Perfect. ❤️

Cheers for the feedback all, basically confirms my own thoughts. Going to order some paint this evening and refresh my originals a nice shade of silver. As said, the colour match is shocking but worth a look just out of curiosity. I think it’s very difficult to modify the exterior of the...

I think that’s the idea. 😅 But know what you mean. 🙂

As close to whole car I have without going outside. 😅

Looks nice Olly, What colour Anthracite are yours?

So a very kind gentleman on Pistonheads gifted me some colour coded door bullets. I trial fitted them today to see what I think. The colour match is miles away on my car but gives me an idea if I would like to move away from the OEM silver. My silver ones are original and have never been...

I usually finish with C2v3 or Carpro Reload. Not sure really where this fits in for me. Great product though.

Do it!! Amazing what a simple wheel swap can do to the cars appearance. The Turinis are beautiful but just lost in gloss black. Sounds daft but black wheels were notch at common when I did them. I put black wheels on my Escort GTi in 2002 when I was 18. I never saw another car with black wheels...

I think ultimately the best setup all round for looks and performance is 10mm front and rear. When the RCK hubs go on, I may drop to a 5mm spacer up front.

Me too mate. Can’t wait to get out. You wait, we will have sun thoughout this whole shut in. Soon as we are allowed out, it’ll piss down 😂 It’s worn gloss black Turinis since 2012. I think she’s due a change. Depending on height, spacers and offset, I found my Turinis scrubbing on full lock...

I need a new fuse box housing due to the exact same issue. Beautiful job. 👌🏼

Today’s job, Fit PMS rear spacers and wheel stud/nut kit. Also decided now the suns coming out to get my summer wheels on. Yes they’re doing “driveway durability testing” at the mo. But they have confirmed 100% that I’m done with black wheels. My Turinis will get a colour change at some point...

Loctite and tight by hand.

Fitted mine last week. What seems to be the problem, I found it completely straight forward.

Agreed. Sorry I assumed that was obvious. I just wondered pre lock in.

Interesting you boys saying this. When I removed the cup dampers, the OS top but was loose.

So, has the OP revisited another 172/182 yet? I’d be interested to hear how you got on? 🙂
