I love this car Dan. I'm 16 atm so driving a 1.2 clio but would love a 1*2 at some point lol

Exhaust looks BRILLIANT Dan.

Have you got a vid whilst driving it? Mines on its last legs, looking at the RS192 or Milltek.

It had something like this fitted with the standard heading but i've since replaced it with an aftermarket Head Unit :tongueout:

This is coming along great buddy, bit of a shame about the welds on the exhaust but now you can keep your ocd happy with a new one!

Dan... · Oct 21, 2014

Hydro-dipped goodies!... The engine cover is finished and ready for collection.

Hoping to go and collect it Sunday :smile: I'll now need to get my strut brace sorted as the bright red is going to clash with everything else haha.

Hope so! I'm not sure if it is going to work with the black inlets and fuel rail guard so I might have to get them changed but for now it should be good!

The exhaust is perfect, so much better than before [emoji1]

Such a tidy looking 182!

Dan... · Jan 3, 2015

Not much of an update but the car had it's MOT first thing this morning, thankfully it passed with flying colours - No advisories.

With Christmas etc recently I haven't bought much for the car but hopefully i'll get a few more things ticked off the wanted list over the next coming months. Speaking of Christmas, Santa bought me lots and lots of products to top up my detailing gear so I'm looking forward to some decent weather to start using it all. It's impossible to keep it clean atm 😧

Auto Finesse Kit
Autobrite Direct Kit

I've also recently contacted Mick at Diamond Motors to give me some quotes on a few things I want sorting out so hopefully that can be organised fairly soon ready for summer.

Hopefully there will be some more updates soon!...

Nice pic in the garage Dan - looks mint.

I'm just outside Lincoln and I've used @MicKPM at Diamond Motors the last couple or three years.
April (ish) he did belts, dephaser, front brakes, full service. He also replaced some missing covers that had been left off by Renault the last time it had been done (!)
Was in a spot of bother a couple of months back when I broke a spring into three, I left a message on Micks answer phone and he called me back on the mobile and gave me some good advice on how I could do it myself or where/what to buy if not going Renault.
If it had been ok to drive I'd had taken it the hours journey without hesitation.

You won't be disappointed - I'm happy that I've got his stamp in my service book

That's really good to hear, a few people have recommended Mick now so it's good to know my car will be in safe hands.

You may leave missing that carbon engine cover though. My Cup needs one of those hehehe

GavC · Jan 12, 2015

Absolutely love the carbon engine cover! May get myself one in the future [emoji14]

Haha, I doubt it is anywhere near as mint as yours :wink: I really want some actually but I have absolutely no idea what I could get away with without rubbing.

Adam93 · Jan 12, 2015

That's a lush 182.

Yea you're best finding someone who matched your setup, I'm on Cooksports so not sure it would be the same! Pretty cheap mod though, and it looks brilliant. Can't comment on the handling as I'm not really one for high speed cornering but it certainly looks smart!

Yeah, think I'll have to have a look into it, thank you though

I planned on giving the 182 a "quick wash" today, but it very quickly escalated into a lot more than just a quick one lol. Thought i'd share some of the random photo's I took along the way - Straight off my phone so nothing special.
Process was:

Autobrite Direct Pre-wash (out of Magifoam 😧 )
Rinse
Wash - Autobrite Direct Purple Velvet - Most amazing shampoo ever!
Rinse
Washed again using Carbon Collective clay mitt
Rinse
Dry - Autofinesse Aqua Deluxe drying towel
Autofinesse Tripple
Autofinesse Tough Coat - Paintwork Sealant
Autofinesse Spirit wax - First time using this and it's amazing!
Autobrite Direct for the windows, tyre's and plastic trim dressing
