1.6 to 182!

[roberto.]

Well, after finally seeing the back end of the 1.6 on Saturday, and many nervous phonecalls last night, im now a 182 owner to be!

Just been to take some photos of the car, as its down at the garage for the night, getting the belts and waterpump changed in the morning. To be more precise its a Racing Blue 182 cup. Not perfect, wheels need a refurb, lights need polishing up, wing mirror has a scuff and theres some pathetic silver gear knob on it. Other than that its on 65k and has service history.
The interior is spotless, and the steering wheel hasn't hasnt turned to cheese sauce yet.

Should be picking it up tomorrow! Now for some very s**t pictures.


From this:

To this:

The pictures make the paint look like its been sprayed by Donald Duck, however the pictures were taken in a garage. This and the fact it was dark really dont do the car justice.

Nah mate, its just being stored in the spray booth after it had been valeted.

 

[markhinton]

Looks like RB overspray on the floor

I'm just kidding, looks lovely! I'd really like a RB if I was to start over

The steering wheels only tend to melt if they are the ones with thumbgrips and yours is a cup so will just have save steering wheel as any other clio
