Special. Very special *hats off*

 

[VIICarCare]

yup, thats done it for me

 

[Davis]

Great car! Looks stunning!

 

[Coby.]

Lovely car.... Dont do anything else to it.

 

[markhinton]

Really nice! I think a cleaner, smaller numberplate would finish this car off nicely!

 

[James105]

Probably one of my favourite 182's ever since I saw it and followed you at TDI rolling road day!

 

[Jekyll]

cheers guys

i do have a few more plans for it but "mostly" all the visual bits are done.

mark, i do keep thinking about the 3/4 plate. just not to sure weather its worth running the risk of getting stung £30 a time

Think it's £60?

I know what you're saying, but I've been driving my 182 with a 3/4 numberplate for nearly 2years now, and I had my 172 on one for a year before that and never been pulled up about it (or let alone pulled over, actually). Now I've jinxed it though lol

I reckon even if you get one just for show and pictures, attach your standard with velcro pads so you can whip it off and put the other one or, or leave it off altogether? That'd look smart!

 

[Kane.]

Looks mint mate.

 

[Jekyll]

james, i remember. been trying to think who that was for ages lol

yeah i know what you mean mark. ive never been pulled up/over and every time i look at them or look at mine i do want one. i think i will get one tbh then if/when i get pulled then i'll convert back to standard.

That's my plan too! I had the standard plate in my boot, but now I've got a personalised numberplate I'll have to get a normal sized one made up in that reg, and if I get pulled just bat my eyelashes and hope they let me swap them over at the side of the road with nothing more than a slap on the wrist!

EDIT: really quick photoshop, you know it makes sense!

it makes the car seem wider and more squat, DO IT.

 

[182_sport]

Really mint car

3/4 plate will finish it

 

[Knuckles]

Black cars always look so boring but f**k me your car is awesome. Hats off to you good sir :approve:

 

[leeds_182]

Sweet looking machine.

 

[Joe#]

Absolutely love it dude

 

[Nashy]

Stunning!

 

[Owen]

Looking good as always Mark. Any close ups of the bay?

 

[James105]

james, i remember. been trying to think who that was for ages lol

Haha. Yup, twas me! Car looked great then, and looks flipping brilliant now! Spot on!

 

[Jekyll]

Wow! Thanks guys

Yes looking at that i think i will

Black cars always look so boring but f**k me your car is awesome. Hats off to you good sir :approve:

Ive tried keeping it reletively subtle with a few nice touches and a black/red theme

Sweet looking machine.

Absolutely love it dude

Stunning!

Thanks guys

Looking good as always Mark. Any close ups of the bay?

Cheers Owen. Heres a couple i took, not today, but recently:

Haha. Yup, twas me! Car looked great then, and looks flipping brilliant now! Spot on!

Thanks James. Yeah its changed a tad since you last see it, but for the better

Thanks for all the positive feedback

 

[James28]

Love this car Mark!
Attention to detail is phenomenal. Plus always helps when your good at taking photos

 

[Kieran..]

awesome as ever mark!

 

[davo172]

Stunning mate
Love the engine bay !

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Looks photoshopped ! Every one is from the same angle with a different but similar background... use your imagination man, move about haha !

3/4 plate is a silly idea IMO. They are illegal, and they look daft. OK, you're unlikely to kill anyone because of it, but it's still not worth getting pulled for.

Apart from that, it'll do

What is on it, cleaning/sealing wise out of interest ? :boring: (there needs to be a nerd smiley)

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks chaps

I know what your saying rob, but I was limited to my listing as it was getting slightly dark and my original choice for scenery was blocked off

Cleaning products were (cough cough) turtle wax shampoo, poorboys black hole polish then poorboys nuttys paste wax

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Turtlespunk... LOL ! Shame on you.

Black hole isn't a polish

Nutty ? Is that a new flavour ?! :rasp:

Has it recently had / does it need a machine polish ? If so, get involved in gteqniq. Mega impressive stuff.

 

[joe18two]

thats looks really nice mate is that on coilies?

BG is choice of winners

 

[Tony172]

looks stunning mate done a awesome job!!

 

[Bobby.]

Really good stances looks just right possibly a bit wider on the rear would make it perfect are you using spacers? what splitter is that seems to stick out abit. Or is that just me :/

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good Mark.

 

[Gaz_]

Looks spot on that!

For me I'd prefer it a bit more oem with the engine and the bullets, but hats off like, looks well

 

[Adam.D]

Probably the best 182 I've seen

 

[PaulClioSport]

Pure clio p**n! I remember that yours was lowered on eibach springs? Perfect ride height!

Cheers rib will have a look at that. Looking at getting it machine polished in the new year after the exterior is complete.

thats looks really nice mate is that on coilies?

Thanks joe yes it's currently on vmaxx coilovers but will change to gaz or h&r's in the new year

BG is choice of winners

Your right, I'm looking at getting 20mm hubcentric spacers soon. Splitter is K-tec carbon one

 

[Clio RS 172]

[TheEvilGiraffe]

No probs Merk. You're welcome to use mine, just buy some pads/polish to suit

 

[AKFM1]

[Jekyll]

Looks spot on that!

Each to there own mate, im going with a black and red theme, so i thought why not do the engine the same too

Probably the best 182 I've seen

Wow! cheers mate. Im sure its not nearly as good as others on here, but many thanks all the same

Pure clio p**n! I remember that yours was lowered on eibach springs? Perfect ride height!

Thats right paul. I was on sportline springs when i had my standard wheels on.

engine bay is p**n:evil:​

Haha, Cheers mate!

No probs Merk. You're welcome to use mine, just buy some pads/polish to suit
