[jim cook]

Great car, love the last Pic

 

[jack_davey]

Thanks guys, owned her since Oct '07, I've now got a laguna seca E46 M3, hence this baby is for sale, the only thing she wants for is a minor tidy up on the steering wheel if I'm being picky. Anyone got contact details for Snappy?

Awesome photos! Paint looks flawless, what detailing products do you use to achieve such a great look? :wink:

That is absolutely bang on!

It's rare to see a black car done justice in pictures.

My only gripe for such a perfect OEM car is the wheels, as much as I like 2118s, it either needs lowering or larger (Anth turinis) wheels fitted.

 

[Mr Plums]

my gripe is the fogs but its a stunning 182.

Whilst i agree

It is running sachs dampers, so it can be overlooked ;-)

 

[jack_davey]

Well spotted, she is indeed on Sachs dampers
The car is usually on a set of OEM Antracite Trophy Turinis, these are the trackday wheels and tyres.

The paint is pretty flawless to be honest. I machine polished the car shortly after I bought it with Sonus polishes and pads (They arent the most glamorous, but they certainly do the job if used correctly). Since then I've just been extra careful when washing and made sure the paint has stayed protected using a variety of different waxes and sealants. Before the photos she had a quick clean up with some autofinesse triple, it was then waxed with R222 carnauba wax and given a quick spray of Meguiars last touch quick detailer prior to the pictures being taken. Tyres were dressed with megs endurance tyre gel, and the plastics were just 'au naturale' for this shoot
It's very hard to keep a black car looking this good because it shows every imperfection.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Stunning 182, only things Id do if it was mine would be to have the wheels Silver rather than White and an unpainted grill.

 

[JackJack]

Stunning car

 

[Adam93]

Mega example Looks superb.

 

[Danix60]

[MiniRebel]

[Leeshez]

[mak2503]

I need to get my finger out and machine my car they do look stunning when cleaned properly.
What is the model number for the Alpine stereo? It looks quite nice in there.

 

[Aaronexx]

Extremely nice car and very good shots mate! What headlights are they?

 

[GM_182]

Wow - great pictures. I have no idea how you keep your car so clean.

 

[jack_davey]

The stereo is an alpine Ida-x305s
The headlights are 172 items with the black inserts, purchased new for this car

 

[jack_davey]

Thanks for the comments guys, this car really needs a new home though

 

[Jekyll]

Really like that!

 

[Abyss]

Proper minter!
