Dans BG slow project

[danh90]

Whoever decided to get those wheels done red was a genius

ha its like he knew they were one day going to end up on a BG

 

[danh90]

Looks so good with the red wheels. Should be excellent on track with the ast's and r888s

All the gear, no idea comes to mind ha

no it should yeah was happy with car last couple of days and that was as standard just needed tweeking abit hopefully will be spot on now.

you get those wheels coated yet mate

 

[timps]

No not yet, Still deciding what colour and what tyres to put on but I'm in no rush so they will just get done when I get round to them

 

[imprezaworks]

dont get what you mean lol

The tyres you sent me

 

[danh90]

Ah right you've got them on yours now should get some pics of your car up

 

[imprezaworks]

Not actually on the car, more taking space in the workshop lol. I never seem to get much time recently. Will take loads of photos of our trackday and stick them up. Sister has nervously booked so all systems go.

 

[Rich_172]

Awesome mate. looking forward to seeing it at Oulton on 17th

 

[imprezaworks]

You driving matey?

 

[danh90]

Awesome mate. looking forward to seeing it at Oulton on 17th

Cheers mate Will you be coming down m1 on the day past Sheffield

Think the wheels look absolutely perfect mate, fit the car soo nice and I like the tyres too, the white writing gives them a proper racey look and I agree with the calipers being black the yellow is kind of clashing with the wheels. The carbon wrapped stuff looks good too, pretty nice for such an awkward thing to wrap.

I need a 182 in my life haha

 

[Harpham]

Looks great matey. Will it be at TOPO?

 

[Jekyll]

Dan, that looks ace mate. Really do like the look of that and loving the tyre paint combined with the coloured wheels too.

Like you mentioned, you've got a few colours going on there so getting the calipers black will finish it off.

Glad to see the carboning went well. Did you use a hair dryer in the end? Make sure that after you've done the rear bump strip, you save enough for the interior lol

thanks bud, it wasnt too bad i thought same as you that it would be really akward but a hairdryer works wonders makes it so much easier

it certainly will be mate, you turning up in the sunflower loved your stalking thread the other day lol

haha is that how you started 1 or 2 bits then everything just got covered lol,

i couldnt believe how much a difference the hairdryer made was so much easier, yeah i did them yellow as i think they went well with the anthracite 2118's but going to go back to black at the weekend that will go with both wheels

wasnt too sure about the tyre paint but its grown on me a couple of bits have faded on them id imagine its just like a paint pen you used would you happen to know mate

 

[Jekyll]

Yes, although now you may get the carboning bug lol!

Like I said before, it's a god send. Saves you stretching a ripping! Just a tad of heat and viola!!

Keep the tyre paint mate, like scottharrison said, it looks racey

 

[danh90]

ha no im stopping at the rear bump strip honest lol

 

[Jekyll]

We'll see.....

 

[Harpham]

it certainly will be mate, you turning up in the sunflower loved your stalking thread the other day lol

Fingers crossed mate. Hopefully someone will snap up my Ph1, so that I can have the Sunflower

 

[daveski]

danh90 have you been to Diamond Motors recently? Think I may have seen your car.

 

[danh90]

Right the BG got a little clean today shamefully i didnt do it the kosovans did too cold for my liking they did a half decent job tbf, for all of 15min it took them. took it to an old industrial estate for a few pics. Im afraid they were taken on the iphone 4s as i dont have a top notch camera (yet) and also im not a photographer so just average pictures guys quite a few,also first proper pictures of it sitting on AST's

C+C welcome

 

[danh90]

danh90 have you been to Diamond Motors recently? Think I may have seen your car.

yeah been a couple of times in last few week mate. clio and its fuc*ing wiring!! you the lad who wants some 2118's mick was telling me about

 

[daveski]

Yeah I was walking out when you arrived, have a blue 172.

Car looked great and I would love some 2118s, cant afford them at the moment though

 

[jenic]

Looks good, what are those caps on the 2118's?

 

[danh90]

No idea mate bought them off a chap on here and they came with them, think they look alot better with them in.

lost my front 2 though last trackday i did so need to try and source 2 the same..

 

[danh90]

Before anyone says anything i know my front tyres has been fitted the wrong way, had them done yesterday morning will be going back to be sorted monday! why not do things right the 1st time

 

[Cr33do]

That looks great Dan. And I find the iPhone 4s takes pretty good picture too, for a phone.

Just a thought. I see you have got new tyres on the front since we put the ASTs on- is the rotation correct on the drivers side?

Nice work with the carbon wrap too- I told you the hair dryer works a treat with that stuff

read the above post from me above mate lol

yeah suppose its not too bad for a phone anyway too good of a camera would show the defects

yeah it wasnt so tricky after all i managed to get the fog surrounds out without removing the fog only reason i did though as one of the fog screws had rounded so couldnt get it out lol i was suprised how much it stretches when warm i just thought it would rip.
mike said about something special happening to the 172 engine? spill......

 

[imprezaworks]

Pics look ace

 

[guysy]

Looking very tidy mate, nice car.

 

[danh90]

Car may be up for sale in next few week, cup wheels and suspension will be going back on,
will have 2118s, yozza and decat and AST sportline 1's up for sale not definate yet but more than likely anyone interested in anything give me a pm

 

[Meek_racing]

Sad news Would be a shame to sell after all the work done to it!

 

[Rubicon_]

Sad news.

Car looks awesome!

 

[chriscummins7]

Don't do it!! Such an awesome car.

 

[Jekyll]

I think my computer is playing up as ive just read your selling up

 

[danh90]

erlier i was 90% selling now im currently 50/50 such a hard decision it just doesnt get drove.. Finally got it just how i want it plenty of money and time later

 

[Jekyll]

keep it mate. looks a great example and for what there selling for atm its not worth it imo.

 

[danh90]

I know what you mean the moneys crap at minute even for a very good example,,

You just want me too keep it so you can tempt me to do some more wrapping

 

[Jekyll]

haha seriously though its worth keeping. does look great in the above pics and you'd only be craving another one a few months down the line after selling up just looking out for a fellow low 2118'd, bg182

 

[danh90]

haha love the 2118's i need your seats though!!!

by the way if your ever down this end give me a shout and you can remove my rear bump strip as i couldnt get it to budge,, although it was like -2 when i was doing it
