Artic with carbon addiction



  Clio 182
This was the car when I first purchased it in April it some of u might remember it it's Rory's old 182.

It was in need of a bit of tlc

Since buying it the first thing to do was get the belts and dephaser done and get rid of the awful k-tec coilovers they had seized and also the strut tops had been collapsed for that long they had worn almost right threw the top of the front shockers.
Then it was on to sorting out the silver fog covers and a general tidy up

It was on to upgrading the brakes with
Genuine rear discs with bearings and abs sensors and genuine pads
Front brembo max discs with mintex 1477 pads
And stainless braided good ridge flexis front and rear
Pedal felt a lot firmer

Then came the start of the carbon addiction starting with a bonnet

Then fitted some 10mm 1.5 degree rear camber shims
Had the wheels refurbed in anthracite
And also had the bullets/ door badges done the same
And fitted a set of fk euro spec rear lights
And streamline carbon wing mirror covers

That left it looking like

My carbon addiction has since then grew to
Carbon fuel cap cover
Carbon door bullets
Carbon rear spats
Carbon wiper blank
Carbon rear badge
Carbon bumper strip
Carbon exhaust trims
Carbon fog covers
Carbon washer blanks
Carbon clio badge
Carbon front badge

And fitted a set of very very hard to find compomotive mo5s 16s et35
195/45/16 toyo t1rs

And have since relocated the battery to the boot and fitted a uk spec cup racer intake setup
Rs tuner 98 Ron map

Leaving it looking like

Carbon becomes an obsession ... i ended up building a whole car from it apart from the obvious bits like engine ,suspension and the tube frame

Nice looking car , but dont be afraid to paint the bonnet !!

Funny u should mention it I was talking to my pal who does all my paint work about painting the bonnet today and he told me why buy a carbon bonnet to paint it the same colour as the old one .
