Ash's Liquid Yellow 182

[Clio_fool]

Damn thats bloody perfect now. Those 2 shots of it in the bus lane show ly in a way not often seen and show that it doesn't need brilliant sunshine to look damn awesome. Jammy bugger I'm well jealous.

 

[Mr Plums]

Id sniff its oily knickers!

 

[andy_coops]

Looks bloody lovely that. And I've ordered a boot mat too as mine's horrid - thanks for the link.

 

[182_steve]

That looks awesome, great work so far making a good car even better! As mentioned above, I agree the bus lane photos are really cool as they show what a colour LY is

Interesting you went for the Milltek as that's exactly what I ordered for my 182 too, I too wanted a more oem exhaust, however mine was almost too quiet so bought the K-Tec induction kit to give it a bit more noise. The two together sounds great now!

 

[TonkaTruck]

Why have I not seen this... damn I miss it! I loved it on Turini's...

Was parked just a bit behind you! this was very much the best condition 182 at the show! Properly immaculate, loved the attention to detail!

 

[leeds2592]

That is lovely, only thing I'd do, other than the front grille as you've mentioned, is to get some spacers.

Nothing major to update, but bought a Renault/Elf genuine oil top up kit to put in the boot. It has a velcro back to keep it in place, just a nice little touch!

That's it!

losing oil mate?

 

[Ash J]

losing oil mate?

😂 not at all mate! It was bought for aesthetic purposes! 🙈 I love any additional inexpensive things I can buy that are OEM/Genuine Renault, sad I know! Probably never get used!

 

[182_steve]

That's not sad at all bud, I did exactly the same thing in my old Mk4 25th Anni Golf GTi, proper oil in the zip up VW bag Velcro'd to the side............ think I might get one for the clio too now ha!

 

[20vKarlos]

This car is beautiful and I now know that I MUST at some point get a Liquid Yellow Renault!

 

[joytodrive25]

Stunning car mate. Good effort :smile: How did you do the headlining??? It looks so much better than grey. And the boot mat is getting done!

 

[Ash J]

Nothing major to update on, but my OMP wheel and Momo boss kit arrived this week...

And then I managed to get round to fitting it today...

Looks better than it does in the pic. And has completely transformed the way the car drives/feels! Changing the wheel is something I always recommend to anybody, great mod, but equally a Snappy re-trim does look more OEM. I'm very happy with my suede OMP!

 

[Stay Puft]

Lovely mate! If you ever want to sell your trendlines..

 

[Ash J]

Lovely mate! If you ever want to sell your trendlines..

Thanks mate. Should I ever consider selling them then I will give you first refusal!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks good. And yep a smaller wheel is a great move imo

 

[leeds2592]

Nice looking wheel, what size did you go for?

 

[182_steve]

Where did you get the Momo boss kit? Having a bit of trouble getting one!

Looks really good though, are you getting a custom bracket with buttons to retain the cruise control functions etc?

 

[BlackGoldMatt]

Looks lovely mate... you came past me the other evening on the M27, I was driving the GF's car though, so you wouldn't of recognised.

Went for 330mm, perfect size in my opinion.

I got mine from Opie Oils... http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-91949-momo-racing-hub-boss-kit-mk7218r-renault-clio-clio-rs-twingo.aspx

With the ClioSport discount (10%) comes to about £63 which is a good price.

Nope I am not bothering with the cruise control functions, I never use it anyway so doesn't bother me.

Thanks mate, and I definitely wouldn't have seen you if you weren't in the 182 or the M3!

 

[182_steve]

Good to hear that about the 330mm as that's the size of wheel I have gone for!

As for the boss, yep, that's one of the companies i've emailed already and it's out of stock (even thought I notice it says in stock on your link!!) Just waiting to hear if they can get one. BUT.... that said, nice one with the discount, didn't know about that!

You'll be happy with the 330mm.

If you have no luck with Opie, then you could always get it from this place instead, comes to just under £63 with delivery so an even better price...

[182_steve]

Cheers for that :up: I've actually found one at a company called Merlin Motorsport based at Castle Combe so fingers crossed I have one and it's actually in stock. Failing that, the link above is my back up plan

 

[Stefan.]

Alrite ash, we need a catch up with these two....

Alrite ash, we need a catch up with these two....

Hiya Stef, yeah be good to catch up mate. Drop us a message/text and let us know when you're free etc, that'll be cool.

 

[Ash J]

Had it's MOT today.

New set of rear brake pads were fitted (they were low).

Also got my new genuine lower arms fitted at the same time...

Now has an MOT until 12 April 2018, no advisories!

Sad news is the car is for sale. Just accepted an offer for a new job which I start in April, and comes with a company car due to the travelling involved.

Unfortunately means LY has to go since I have nowhere to keep it, which I am absolutely gutted about. Ad will be up tonight.
