bg 182 on fresh wheels

[hipwell]

I got my wheels refurbed the other day as the standard anthracite was dying and crumbling.

i got them done in a gun metal, slightly darker than standard anthra but i didnt want black.

the pics do it no justice it looks good in person.

i know i know, i need tyre gell big time, thats next on the list.

any other minor mods you think i should do to make it look a lil better?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Nice. I had mine redone to a very similar colour.

Get some tyre shine too!

 

[Triki]

Needs tyre shine and loooooows

 

[hipwell]

aye i know i need shine.

also i would love to lower it but if i go any lower than 1cm then the car will scrape coming over my drive lol

 

[Triki]

Sort your drive out then ......

 

[hipwell]

lol not that simple, all sorts of funny angles because the street is a hill lol.

im thinking a carbon splitter would compliment it nicely aswel but not sure if i can justify 120 quid for splitter lol.

 

[matt.lund]

get a more 'looooow' clio friendly house lol but the carbon splitter looks the nuts on black cars

i know, that will be my preference when i move + big garage not full of dads motorbike lol.

Hmm, not seen one on a black but seen one on an arctic and it does look nice.

How much did it cost to do the refurb and painting?? if u don't me asking

 

[Scott™]

I can't comment as you have no tyre shine on.

 

[hipwell]

120 for all 4, the finish on them up close is amazing aswel as the front one were curbed to hell and now there like new. rbw limited in rotherham is where i got em done

tyre shine will be on in a few days, got to get a few nights out over though yet lol.

 

[hipwell]

after a quick layer on meguires tyre gel and some wax coated in egp.
also my crap sticking on of the new rs badge lol, oops

 

[Coby.]

Looks good.... Tyre shine always helps a car look clean.

Silvatec Indictor Bulbs next on the list?

 

[Cunney]

I still can't decide on whether I want that new RS badge or not lol

[Coby.]

Cool, I currently live in barnsley with the GF but lived with the parents for ages in Scholes. What you upto tonight? wouldn't mind checking your wheels out, im thinking of getting something similar done.

 

[Coby.]

Could always paint up your side badges as well but depends how far you want to take your colour theme

Obviously I have an Arctic Blue 182

 

[Coby.]

Some I did on my Girlfriends Black Dynamique

These were a tester before doing my own and I realised I needed more Lacquer.

 

[Wick]

Front and Rear... Available from Halfords for about £15ish a pair iirc.

Or ebay knock offs for £3 a pair

 

[Coby.]

Well yeah you can buy knock offs as well but some are not that great but then again some may be great.

 

[Kane.]

I like it, nice to see someone keep standard alloys.

 

[hipwell]

yeh im thinking of doing that to the bullets as mine are going a bit moudly lol. I think black would be too much though so im going to go for silver with black 2.0 16v. Those lights will be first tho as they do look pretty decent. off to halfords next thursday when i get paid lol.

Erm tonight i will be seeing the mrs as she comes back from uni but im free for the next few hours if you want to pop up mate as its my day off today.

cheers kane, i do like the 182 alloys, its just a shame there to heavy compared to turinis.

[hipwell]

Yeh mate sure, Desperately want to take some decent pics of the car aswell, you know anywhere decent that isn't 100miles away lol

 

[Jekyll]

Carbon front splitter and fog surrounds look ace imo. (Excuse my dodgy trainers and manky fog light!) then lower it. Then alter your driveway to compensate.....

 

[hipwell]

lol ano i keep thinking the same as the back garden drive shots are getting incredibly boring now lol.

i was thinking of trecking upto derbyshire to get some as soon as we get some nice weather and the nights are getting longer but most nights im not home from work till 7 so its a bit difficult atm

Same here. There must be somewhere closer, maybe up just before woodhead?

 

[hipwell]

Yeh thought about that too, but if you go up te othe way towards like bakewell there loads more spots at the top of the mountains if you like lol, and get get some decent shots

 

[Blue Mez]

We'll have to do that then mate, would be good.
