Rear bumper, cup spoiler, front bumper with wider wings bolt straight on, but can be fitted to standard wings with a lot of work.
Nice colour too btw.

ahhh brilliant thanks for your help i'll look around the market place for parts now and thanks!

For the effort I don't personally think its worth it. Would look nice with a 172 rear bumper, colour coded front and side bump strips, cup spoiler.

hmmm yeahh I know what you mean.. but tbh im not thinking of changing the car for a while now (as im just about to turn 18) and insurance is a Bit*h even now and will be for a while, so im not looking for more power or anything, so id just like to make it look nice lol :L i think il take your advice on board and do it in stages.. it may look how i want it too with only a few changes

Will probably cost you just as much as the extra insurance premium to get all that work done tbh.

A lot off modified car insurance companies only charge for power mods, so visual is free.

What a lovely colour! i have the most comon non sport colour which is silver seen in my avatar <<... I have modded mine slightly and was going to do a 172 rep, but once you start doing it you realise how much it really costs. and to be honest ive stopped wasting my money to make a wanna-be sport and just saving the money so i can get a real 172/182 in the future... by the way im only 18 too.

Colour code it and leave it at that, will look the dogs bollox
!!

 

[MattP182]

thanks for all the help and advice, ive asked my insurance company about it, and tbh it doesnt really make much difference to the already extortionate price im paying now lol! so that wouldnt be much of an issue..I guess the main problem would be how much each part would cost to get sprayed :S and thanks for your imput Gary and DCI RAZ, Gary Im liking your clio too how much do you think im looking at for the colour code side of things?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

shouldn't be to much, give spray shack a pm ( traders section )

Don't see the point personally but each to their own.

I can see where your comming from.. but I'll not be able to afford insurance on a larger sized engine for a while.. so I might aswell create a little project...the car has just done 59k miles..so theres not even any point getting rid of it just yet either

Without wishing to sound like your Dad... Have you checked with your insurance about mods yet before you go buying body parts !?

Not being funny but 'real' RS's are almost free these days. It's really not worth the bother. Just save your cash and you can have a proper car in much less time ! It'll cost you a fortune to get them bought and sprayed up. You can get Ph2 RS's for £1500 without trying very hard.

haha exactly what my dad said! but yes I have checked! makes some difference but not a lot tbh! :L and hmmm i see...so a lot of people are against the idea?

Have a go at colour coding yourself, if it goes wrong then proceed to get them done proffesionally. Worth a go

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

In a few years time, you'll look back at it and go "What the F**K did I do that for?!".

Go on holiday with your mates, save for a house, blow it on booze and hoes but gluing bodywork on to a small French hatchback to make it look slightly more like something it's never going to be which you can already buy (for probably less than your current car is worth) is just daft.

Anyway, you won't listen to a word me or your Dad say so go on .. get on with it.

haha no when you say it like that it does sound a bit of a daft idea tbf, im not closed minded..im happy to listen and take on board peoples opinions maybe il stick with a few less expensive changes

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Bit of colour coding won't hurt, unless you chop your finger off or inhale the fumes perhaps.

Where are you from ?

What a lovely colour.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Tbh, this might seem daft, but I have made my DCI into an almost visual 172 rep and I have come round to the conclusion, it's not worth it for a car thats not going to be anything like the reall one. On the other hand, its your pride and joy, you mod the way u want but be prepared for the things that come with it. Stay with the attitude of ' clean subtle and tidy ' rather than mod mod and then get upset in years to come when you look back.

Not trying to be rude or insulting btw

Agreed with the comments about save your cash! I'm 21 and wish I hadn't spent the money on modding my previous car. It was a 1.2 Punto, once it looked how I liked it I got bored with the lack of power and then couldn't sell it as quickly as most buyers want a totally original car. So when it came to buying my 182 I had less cash and had to wait even longer for my 1.2 to sell!

Save the money, I think your car looks nice as it is tbh!

Haha couldn't have put it better myself!

Colour code it, but don't waste your money making it into a rep. By the time you've finished you could just buy the real thing.

Aah, was king to say I have parts for sale but I can't post them

 

[MattP182]
