Yes m8 there just the standard callipers took ages to do.

 

[Christopher]

minter!

looks great, especially for the age too! :approve:

 

[Englebert]

Looks pretty good actually, even the silver 182 wheels kind of look ok.

Have to say though, painting OEM calipers red and putting on Brembo stickers is pretty ghey.

I dont know - ifs its done well hardly anyone would know any different - admittedly people that know their s**t would spot it but to the average boy racer etc they would look genuine. Its not like he has stuck huge BREMBO stickers down the side of the car - they are quite subtle

Mate, does the 182 back section fit easily onto the 172 centre section? Any mods needed to underneath of car?

My 172 rear bumper is marked and could do with replacing and my back section needs replacing and I'm tempted to go for the 182 look like yours.

Cheers.

Engine looks well good too

Hi mate, love the Brembo look! What size transfer did you use? Would you be able to post a few more close ups of them? Thanks!!

The exhaust system that I have on is from K-Tec and is a nice sounding system to and you don’t have to do any modding it just fits on the original mounts. The rear bumper is an original 182 one as I did not won’t to have the 172 bumper cut in case it looked rubbish.

[d4ve86]

hello mate, what areial is that? did you replace the whole thing? is the quality affected?

 

[Brand86]

Mint - looks good. But sorry have to agree that putting Brembo stickers on non- Brembo brakes is pretty lame. Like the red though! And the tinted windows look really good on the silver.

Yeh I like the shark fin aerial too - what make is it, looks like the Saab one? Looks the nuts.

The shark fin I got from ebay the link is below. It wasn’t as easy as I thought 2 get the old one off as I had to take the back seats out and most of the panelling in the back to get the roof liner down. But once it was eay to change.

I agree to some people that the brembo look is not as good as the real thing but you really cant tell till you close up. I am saving for them but its taking a while as there £1000

Thanks for all your comments guys

I go the carbon cover from ebay, but it’s the same one you by from K-Tec. I have not notice any gains in power from the car with the 182 look Exhaust system. And it sound mint m8 just a nice sound. I did have the stealth system on my car from K-Tec but that was 2 laud and it had to go made me ears bleed lol. Hope this helps.
