Fitting a 182 Body kit to a std 1.2

[Barron]

Any advice? Hard job or? Do you need to cut any of the bumpers down?


Thanks
Carl

Your are better off making a 172 rep for the exhausts


For that you will need:

Front bumper ( I am selling one )
Rear Bumper
Turinis or 172 5 spoke alloys
Wings
Spoiler (either cup or sport)
Splitter (if you are goign for cup look)
CC door handles and strips
Side badges
Tailgate sport badges
Full interior
RS grill
RS steering wheel

if it's just the body panels you want to change, you need the following...

front bumper
front wings
side skirts
rear bumper
arch liners

^^^ you guys forgot the engine, and rear brake drum to disc conversion, and the instrument / speedo's

Its also a big list to hit the Insurance Company with !!

Check how much it will put your insurance up before you start buying bits...

1) Cost of getting parts
2) Getting them sprayed
3) Insurance Premium


Could well end up being a big whack!

really liked mine but wish i hadn't bothered, cost a lot to do and didn't get the return when i sold it....

 

[Giles]

^^ looks good

 

[The Ironist]

that looks amazing. did you do it yourself or did you have it done?

 

[Josh@Renparts]

did it all myself, the beatifully clean paintwork is al though. he PC'd it for me..

Is it possibile to fit a 182/172 front bumper to a STD Clio without buying 182/172 wings?

Thanks
Carl

 

[clioruss]

ask InSoMnia in a PVT he has done it.

they dont fit great - there is a gap between the wing and the bumper.

shouldn't wheel spacers be added to the list? ive seen a couple with 182 wings, and its pretty obvious looking at the front that the wheels are set in too much

 

[Barron]

Yeah i know thier will be a gap but that is solvable, are the 182 bumpers much wider? and would it look stupid fitting a 182 bumper to a STD if the bumper is wider than the centre of the car?

 

[Barron]

Another thing, is it a major operation to change the wing?

 

[C.slicker]

Changing a wing is quite easy IIRC.

I have some non RS wings that have been made to fit a 172 bumper.

You can have those and the bumper for 200.00 if you like?

Thanks

[Barron]

very nice :O is that with standard wings or 172 ones?

 

[clioleo]

i also had a 182 front bumper fitted to 1.2 standard wings on my extreme, looks fine and took 15 mins to fit, just got to trim down the fixing brackets on the 182 bumper, and it will fit no problem

iirc to do the whole lot including buying the car it cost around £3500

 

[SCOTTY2HOTTIE]

looks lovely, just get the doorhandles sprayed

 

[InSoMnIa]

from memory

front bumper 2 bolts 4 screws
wings 7-8 bolts/nuts (one inside wing requires inner arch removing)
rear bumper 4 bolts
