CS Gold 182: changed Exhaust tips to shorter stealth "diesel type"

[steve172sport]

ha fair play to the bloke if ur gonna f*ck sumthink up f*ck it up properly

 

[Hutchie]

i hav to hand to you mate your exhaust made it into our convo at the ne meet shows how bad they were

scott you dont beat around the bush, when telling someone there car looks sh!t

and on that not fix your headlights

 

[micloi]

I was going to change the bumper to the 172 one to hide the tips but maybe I won't.

I think I will keep the car as is. If I manage to draw so much attention maybe it is worth it !!!

 

[Gaz_]

Its the wrong kind though

 

[swirly182]

Wish I was as cool as you.

 

[AlexS]

I can't be arsed to read all of it, they don't look great but i can see the logic, is there no way you can get a 197 style diffuser fitted to the rear bumper?

 

[fUbAr]

I don't like them.

I can understand where you're going with it, because I don't like the 182 exhausts either... however those new exhaust tips are still clearly sticking out from the bumper, just pointing down.

All you seem to have done is replace the stright tips with some bent ones.

The tips now are completely level with the bumper, before they were sticking out about 5cm (if not more). That's why it will be possible to either close the holes or replace the bumper with the one from an 172. I could even remove the tips completely after I put the new bumper as they are only attached with a screw.

hmm... you would need the tips pointing down behind the bumper, otherwise the exhaust smoke/vapour would get caught behind the bumper.

Thanks for the tip. I will leave the tips on pointing down(ish) then.
Will get a quote on Saturday for modifying the current bumper and I am already on the lookout for an 172 bumper in case that quote is too high.

How did I miss that! It needs the picture made into a fail image tbh!

You are joking right? Your not going to keep it with those biblical fails hanging out of the back are you?

You have completely ruined your car if so.

I am begging, no I am demanding you put a proper exhaust on and make it look like its supposed to, or you hide those "things" hanging out at the back.

Im still not convinced this is a joke tbh, its to much of an epic fail to be true.

 

[Tucker]

not to mention your exhausts will burn two holes in a 172 bumper if they point directly at it

 

[micloi]

Why do people reply without reading all the posts .... Waste of time IMO

Alex_tull1: From 3 posts ago: "I will leave the tips on pointing down(ish) then."

mcpheel197: from same post "Will get a quote on Saturday for modifying the current bumper and I am already on the lookout for an 172 bumper in case that quote is too high."

It's ok though, helping take the page number to a double digit, let's see if we can have a triple one (100 pages anyone???)

Respect - gone.

what it would it say under the pic? :approve:

Modifying, ur doing it wrong.

"change isn't always a good thing"
Love warren's tho.

 

[micloi]

There's a new theme now. Describe the picture.
Love it

lol thats a good one. Fail pictures always need to contain the word "Fail" in them.

Id love to make a fail picture from one of the original pictures but im at work.

I love all the why didn't you get a 172 instead comments god forbid he might have preffered the way the 182 drove and wanted that colour and those wheels.

Thats like saying I paid 3 grand more for a 182 because I didn't like the 172 alloys, rather than just change them!

Get your new bumper on a post a new thread - I want to see!

 

[Ash87]

nasty.

They are right you know. I should have got the 172 and change manifold, alloys, paint it, clock the miles down a few thousands and refurbish the interior to make it newer instead of buying the 182 and making the exhaust less visible.

Well, now I know for next time ...

 

[Daz.]

^^^ I'm glad your learning young man

 

[micloi]

A temporary solution until I replace the bumper:

 

[LFCJosh]

ffs man, no need for everyone to be dickheads tbh
welcome to CS

Thanks

No worries mate, it was fun while it lasted

I think now I will get back to enjoying my car, those B roads are awaiting.

 

[Daz.]

Temp soultion actually looks good!

 

[clio_luke]

starting to look a bit better. those tips are/were hideous! what have you covered the cut-outs with?
just be carefull that the fumes dont melt/flake the bumper. those tips looked like they were aiming straight into it.

 

[micloi]

I covered the cut-outs with flame retardant aluminium tape (can withstand +100'C). Over that I used (temporarily) some carbon effect vinyl until I do this professionally or change the bumper.

Does not look great but it is not too bad either. Should be ok for a week or so.

 

[@rt]

looks alot better than it did before, would get it sorted asap though, prob be cheaper to buy a 172 bumper, and then you could get most/all of your money back buy selling your current one!

 

[riz]

Back again to ROFL, temporary solution looks alreet. Better than your system with Downs'

Bag yourself a 172 rear so many of them being broken now will be the cheaper and less labour intensive solution

You drove around with a shopping list on your RB, ergo you are never allowed to criticise anyone but Lusty.

Looking for one but on Ebay there are very few and not THAT cheap.

Any recommendations where I could get one from at a good price?

BTW I was quoted £200 to have mine sealed and painted which is not cheap at all!

 

[micloi]

Just finished patching it up. It will do fine for a while, even from close by it looks OK.

Now I need to find a cheap 172 bumper without any cracks or a friendly body repair shop to give me a good deal in fixing my current bumper. Anyone know anybody near Warwick or Coventry?

 

[fUbAr]

good effort!
