BG182 - Now with added silver

[Jekyll]

Swapped my 2118's recently with some turinis off a cup with Adalis off here. Gave it a clean and took some pics this morning before it rained.

Spec is:

Standard FF shocks all round
Cooksport lowering springs
Cup Turini's in high silver, ET37
Dan@Mad 5mm spacers all round

C+C welcome,

Thanks, Mark.

Looks so so clean pal. Much prefer that look to the 2118's. Shame you're selling up as it's a lovely car.

 

[arg_carra]

Very very nice

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks chaps. I should listen to you more often Rhys!

 

[MartinR]

Looks very fresh, but have to agree with above that the 2118's looked so much better.

still one of the best BG's on CS

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks martin. On coilovers it looked great with 2118s but it didnt look right with lowering springs. Needs lows to pull off 15s imo.

Thank you for the latter comment. I disagree as there are way more better ones on here imo but its nice to hear positive feedback

 

[jesus]

Looks even better than before! I never thought I'd say that.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Prefer the 2118's tbh. But as you said you need the 'lows to pull it off and you just can't achieve that look with springs!

 

[fez]

fresh really nice

 

[rs 1an]

I like the new wheels Mark they look good better save all these pics might not get any more

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, thanks Ian Hopefully a ph1 will take its place

 

[Gaz85]

it looks nice but preferred it when low and on the 2118s was perfect then

 

[Lawro]

It looks like a completely different car! I really like that on the silver turini's!

 

[Wick]

Always wanted those for my BG, so clean.

I'd personally ditch the red lettered bullets in favour of standard or silver sprayed, for more OEM look.

I think it did look best when it was like this, but the vmaxx was getting very crashy and I didn't want to pay for a new, better coilover set.

It does mate and looks quite smart in the flesh too.

Theres no point now Sam! Just need to decide whether to sell as a whole or split for parts. Either way, its going.

 

[Craig.]

Looks perfect on the turinis in silver mate nice & OEM. Ride height looks great in the cooksports.

 

[dano17439]

Looks lovely mate, was it you down Burger King Harlow sunday lunchtime? If so you may of seen my Arctic parked opposite

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks Craig I still think it sits a tad high on the front but you can't have it all on lowering springs! Certainly a good mod if you don't want to go down the coilover route.

Thanks Dano Yes that was me mate. I see you park up and had a look when we left for a cs sticker lol. Me and my missus was having a quick bite to eat and we next to your missus and daughter on the upper tier. Service was rubbish! Lol

 

[dano17439]

No CS sticker yet i picked it up 10.30 sunday morning lol. Yours did look awesome!

 

[rs 1an]

i just cannot believe you are selling that car, put it back to original spec yes, but sell it

 

[Tim.]

This is a great car, and one I feel I 'know' given the amount you've put into recording it's progress, I like it a lot, however, the silver wheels don't work for me. The Turinis are great (of course ) but if I had some spare cash I'd be tempted to get them powder-coated red to match the bullets. Feeling brave, Mark?

 

[hipwell]

I need some silver turinis on my bg. Looks great, but a good set of turinis cost a fortune, all the ones I see pop up on eBay are scuffed to hell

 

[Jekyll]

They are a small fortune, think cup ones are rarer/more desirable because of width.

I've seen a bg on red turinis before Tim, but I'm not that brave! I know its a bit of a sheepish mod and like many I preferred the look if the 2118s and it being in coilovers but decided to get a bit more practical and the 15's looked a little lost on the cooksports. Hopefully as it stands it will a bit more desirable to buyers.


Thanks all for the comments.

 

[welshname]

I keep looking at this b*****d thread.

Don't sell till May please. Thanks.

 

[Jekyll]

Lol, I'd like to keep it that long for you Rhys, however I've already seen what I'm after...

 

[Coops Mk1]

love it, nice and fresh

 

[welshname]

Lol, I'd like to keep it that long for you Rhys, however I've already seen what I'm after...

that makes me sad. What you got your eye on? PM

 

[Wick]

Are the wilwoods going with the car when you sell Mark? I have standard fronts with 2500's (And I'm over in Kent 1st week in October).

 

[Jekyll]

At first yes Sam. It's going in the garage to be looked at on tuesday. If it can be a cheap fix then ill get it fixed and the car will hopefully sell as it stands, barring recaro's which are being swapped for standards. If its a costly fix, I will split the car. I think selling the car with the wilwoods and turinis will hopefully be a selling point mate.

 

[Wick]

That's fair enough, it makes it very deirable

 

[rs 1an]

Sad day for cliosport

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, think your more upset than me!!

Dont worry mate, ill be back!
