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 .

Welcome to CS . Enjoy the site :)

I just remember whoever it was saying his mate did the badge and bullets and they were " carbon dipped " .

Yeah thats the one . It had a leopard print engine cover as well . I wasn't imagining things then eh lol :)

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 .

Mine . RS blue and anthracite .

Should have got a decent printer like an Epson . I'm sure somebody did recommend them :quiet:

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 .

Collinite 885 and 925 owns the lot imo for durability and ease of use :approve:

Welcome to CS mate :)

Mine snapped on my 172 , not just popped off .

A quick way to tell if a car has xenons is that it'll have the headlamp washer jets . They have to be fitted by law to any car that has xenons .

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 .

Welcome to CS :) I see all the sharks are out with the one liners lol . I wonder why ;)

Finally , spotted you at last . The Nimbus was lookin' good :cheers:

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 : http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=27

^^^ 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

double post ....

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 ??

If you want to be pedantic Optimax was 98 , V Power is 99 ;)

Lookin good mate , enjoy the car . The sidelights do look very orange though . Get yourself some leds , they match the xenons alot better .

Well said that man :cheers:

Mondial blue paint code is D43.

Both my imports had the VIN number displayed on the dash , on the passenger side . The later 182's didn't have etched windows , i'm not sure if the earlier ones had or not .

Cups were Mondial Blue or Silver ;)

Yeah it's a FF 172 ;)
