Ghm's LY 182

[Ghm]

2 years since I let the AB 182 go and still couldn't get the thrills of these wee things out of my head! Was on the hunt for another 182 for a while to be honest, but really waiting on the right one to come up as I have a Leon FR as a main car anyway. Luckily made contact with Dan a fellow CS'er and made the long trip from Scotland to Wales on Saturday to collect this truely immaculate LY 182:

The interior is literally spotless and don't get me started on how clean the engine bay is - seriously can't rate how highly Dan looked after the car. Once I get the chance, more pictures will follow of the interior, bay and the current mods on the car. I have a few things in mind to make it my own: front splitter, private reg and possibly look at colour coded bullets as well.

More to come.

Lovely car in a gorgeous colour, looks great.

Really not a fan of the standard 182 wheels though. The colour is good, it just needs something a bit more racy to finish it off

 

[Ghm]

Thanks mate, absolutely yes - thinking darker alloys as they work so well on these to give it that more of an aggressive look. That's also on the to do list (payday cant come quick enough.)

 

[Ex-User (72296)]

Lovely motor. Needs turinis though!

This must be @LiquidYellDan old car?

 

[Typhoon]

Personally not a fan of LY but that does look spotless! Bet the drive home was fun!

 

[Rubicon_]

Would love one of these for the garage, looks great mate!

I'd 100% keep those wheels, suit it well.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

What a shed! Ha ha[emoji41]
Thanks for the kind words.[emoji106] I will miss the car greatly.... Does offer comfort knowing it's in good hands and I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Glad you got home safe and was a pleasure to meet you. Hopefully catch up with you at a CS festival in the near future [emoji106]
Will follow the thread closely.

Nice avatar pic. Looks good

 

[Andy_Miller]

Looks awesome I love LY 182's. I tried to find one when buying mine but they are all so much more expense

 

[Lou]

Nice to see another LY in Scotland.

Just saw this on Facebook. Turns out it used to belong to a friend of mine from carmarthen way some time back. Small world!

What size spacers are on the front as wheel's fit great in the arches.

I bought it from Jonathan if that's who your referring to?
Or the Renault mechanic that owned it originally?

That's the one - Jay (Jonathan).

Thanks everyone, don't want to change too much as its more or less A++ at the moment - just a few subtle changes here and there. @LiquidYellDan - :smile: the looks on the way to and from work from all ages just puts a smile on my face, just such a beautiful colour. Your ava pick isn't too shabby either :up: and the drive as you can imagine was second to none.

Posted on the CSOC page on Facebook and that is where Jonathan saw, he even posted a picture of the car when it was in his possession:

Dan will know for sure but, they are Mylan Designs spacers that I do know but heres a link to his project thread.

 

[Ghm]

Alright, show off! :tonguewink:

Haha, at least we are winning at something in Scotland ( scoring more LY 182's )

 

[Djw John]

Nice to see you back in one. Will this be kept in the same permanently dirty state as the last one?

:tonguewink::up: Haha cheers John, you bet... See you're in a RB now though, well in! Next meets are going to be colourful as.

Mylan design 20mm hubcentric I believe. 10 or 15mm stub axle spacers on rear. I'd have to scan my thread to find out for sure!

 

[mossyv6]

^^^^ Thank you, does look sweet.

 

[Djw John]

:tonguewink::up: Haha cheers John, you bet... See you're in a RB now though, well in! Next meets are going to be colourful as.

Aye instead of me being in a red and brown car I'll be in a blue and brown car!

 

[Scrooge]

I think anthracite Turinis would finish it off nicely. Certainly nothing darker.

It looks great as it is tbh!

Turini's are a call alright, might be on the cards in the future! But good news first part has already arrived in the post for the clio. Just need to wait a little while longer to fit these:

If they look a little too big at the front, i'll look into the 3/4 plates instead and have these at the ready should the 5-0 get interested.

 

[Ghm]

Love car parts in the post days, fabia splitter this time around.

 

[Ghm]

Just thought I would add a wee picture I got today when the raid stopped for a minute of the LY and the Leon together.

My baby [emoji20] lol. Hope your enjoying the car mate. I bought my replacement for the Clio today. Travelled 2hour 40 to Oxford to get it. Lol. Ah well, it's a nice one. You like a bit of VAG, so you'll probably like this

Going to get a touran bumper, or maybe colour code standard one. Nice though. Like it


Any other parts on order yet? [emoji4]

 

[The_Pirate]

Thats stunning that.

RB and LY pull off the standard wheels so so well! Don't change them!

Ahh can't beat a bit of VAG boost now and again eh but what a beauty Dan, that is actually stunning. I'm sure you will turn it into something even more desirable! Would love to see it colour coded at the front along with maybe the plastic down the sides?

Nothing else ordered on the parts front yet, you pretty much had it looking as I like - not really sure what to add! Just itching to get the private plates on.

Just noticed a little typo on my last comment, rain* not raid lol.

Thats stunning that.

Cheers Danny - nope you're 100% right I did contemplate Turini's today but think I will settle for a refurb of the standard wheels in a slightly darker anthracite like the last 182.

 

[The_Pirate]

Aye they honestly suit the standard 182 wheels so much! Turini's are nice but the standard ones win it for me!

 

[LY182DAN]

Agree, think the standard wheels in anthracite really suit the car, absolutely love mine.

Standard wheels, staying

In other news private plate on, sorry about the poor picture quality, fading light and properly the dirtiest the LY has been since I bought her - weekend really cant come quick enough.

 

[leeds2592]

Lovely this.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Plate looks great on! You getting the wheels refurbished then mate?
Can't wait to get log book for caddy so I can put my plates on

 

[Ghm]

Cheers guys, yup hopefully get her in for wheels refurb within a fortnight or so - going for the darker anthracite like we mentioned before.
Haha I know the feeling all too well Dan, come home from work - most important thing was not hello but is the logbook here yet?

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Cool. It'll look brilliant on darker anthracite

Sad times..... Lol

 

[Ghm]

not LYing here at all Dan, but i'm loving it - can really see how well looked after a car is when you get right into the cleaning, which happened today.

Got some carbon vinyl wrap for the front bumper inserts, to tidy that up - I will have a few before and after shots later for that.

 

[Ghm]

What a difference this made, the subtle things..

Before:

After:

Did the same to the other side but they weren't as bad as the before pic above. :up:
