Looks good. Always fancied doing this but heard its costly and there's no real weight saving?

The plate cost 165 eur from renault en fits realy well after wacking it alot! I did it for my exhaust and there where holes from lpg system. I need a pic off a original 182 boot.

That looks good, what exactly was involved? Cut out the old wheel well and weld the new plate in?

Was there any weight difference between the 182 plate and the 172 wheel well?

It sound like a lot of work for what ?
