My CC works fine . Keeps the cabin at a constant temp as it's suppose to do . Auto wipers are a good thing imo and work fine in my 182 as they did in my 172 , it rains , they come on , it rains harder , they wipe faster . :)
I'd rather have the toys than not have them ;)
It might be . But the guy who got the badges dipped was called FusionRS . Looks like he never ventures onto CS anymore so we'll probably never get to the bottom of how the badges are done and cost .
Only places i've seen on google are all in the USA ...
I wouldn't bother with dual layer discs and a dual layer burner . Just download " Clonedvd " it rips , shrinks down to fit onto a 4.7gb disc and burns all in one . I always use dvd's using Ritek G05 dye .
Right !!! Found the post about the white 172 with the Carbon Dipped badges .Apparently it's called Hydrographic dipping . I'm surprised it didn't take off tbh , it actually does look like carbon fibre from the pics .

Go for one with both cup packs . Roughly 80% of 182's were sold with the cup pack options , so it would be probably harder to find one without than with .
There was somebody on here , can't remember who now , who had their front diamond and bullets carbon dipped . Thats what he called it . Don't know the ins and outs of it , but it was some kind of paint and the effect when done was carbon .
I remember alot of people commenting on it , saying...
That'll be 2 white ones knocking about then in the Blackburn area . White's becoming so common these days ;)
It's been said before and i'll say it again . White should have been an option from the factory .
This man speaketh the truth . All the trim products just mask any white marks , same with any oils . WD40 if your gonna go for a masking product gets my vote everytime . Removing with the rubber first then using WD40 is the best way i've found .
That was the first thing i did when i bought my 182 , drove it home , up on the ramps and cable tied the cv boot clips . It seems to be quite a common problem that they snap .
If it's only a small chip you could try filling the chip with paint using a c0cktail stick , sanding and polishing .
Have a read of this :

^^^ Knowsit . Been mentioned 100's of times , low brake fluid level / worn brake pads . Do a search and you'll find lots of posts about it , it's a common problem .
They look fcukin horrible mate . I'm pretty sure you'll get the same response from most other people as well . Keep yours standard rear lights . If you want to change anything , just change the orange indicator bulbs for silvervisons and leave it at that .
Knowsit ;) Exactly what i did . Sold on Autotrader for the same price as so called " UK " cars were advertised at , similar age , mileage etc ...... :quiet:
Happy as the proverbial in sh!t
Paint it . As long as long as you prep it right , plenty of colour coats and lacquer it should be ok . Its only an inch lower than the bumper . Is that chipped to fcuk ??
