Clean RB 182 - then & now

[Jack-D]

After a few weeks of sourcing and fiddling with some bits to tidy the car up, I finally fitted the last piece, my new rear bumper (after I opened my gate into the old one) :banghead:

I was up early this morning due to the delivery man, so as I was up I decided to get the bumper fitted and give it a clean before the rain came.

Here's a picture from the day I picked it up:

And a few from today:

My 3/4 plate fell off during the flooding we had, but as I've already been pulled for it once I think I'm just going to invest a new full size plate.

Thanks

Lovely! My 2nd favourite colour after BG

 

[imprezaworks]

Loads better, great colour

 

[Coops Mk1]

lovely

 

[Knuckles]

Looks awesome. I love rb

the exhaust could do with emigrating a bit north easternly though

 

[Ferris!]

very nice mate

 

[Dan...]

That's tidy!

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments

I'm not sure what to do about them tbh. I've got the powerflex universal mounts in, which helped move them up more than they were but it's still not enough. I think the system needs to be removed and refitted.

Nice and clean looks great.

[arg_carra]

[MonacoDan]

Looks great, what's it lowered on?

 

[Jordi17]

What size spacers you running on this?

 

[Daniel]

That's lovely! Needs the exhaust sorting out though.

Very very nice none the less.

Thanks chaps

It's lowered on Cooksport springs with 15mm rear & 20mm front spacers.

That's lovely! Needs the exhaust sorting out though.

Very very nice none the less.

Cheers

As said before, it's got new powerflex mounts so I guess the only option I have is to take it off and realign it all.

 

[Mr R.]

I have a big soft spot for RB.

2nd picture looks great. :approve:

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Looks lovely, just needs a 3/4 plate(sod the cops) and the exhaust hang sorted, otherwise it's divine!

yeah they can be a pig to get in the right place, I just use some sod off massive zip ties to get it all central (RS192)

Hi mate what bolts are you using, are they TPI ones?

 

[Jack-D]

Looks great that

Thanks mate I still need to order some pads and discs off you but keep forgetting.

I have about 10 normal plastic ones trying to do the job ATM. I think something more heavy duty is needed...

Hi mate what bolts are you using, are they TPI ones?

Yes mate, TPI bolts

They needed trimming down a couple of mm to stop them bottoming out on my front spacers though.

 

[Ash.]

That looks fantastic.

No worries! Just PM me whenever you're ready

Cool, thanks. I want to get some but have read many times that they go really rusty after about 6 months :S putting me off a little...

Thanks, appreciate the kind words

I've read some bad stories like that too. I just try and keep on top of them as much as I can, cleaning them up with a brush every time I clean the car.

New style RS badge look better than I thought, potential new purchase for mine.
