lee's titanium 182 progress thread

[lee_car]

Thought id start a progress/ owners diary for my titanium 182, bought from a dealer a couple of months ago anyone know it (FX05 0AL)?

found out it needed a new dephaser next day after taking it home but the dealer paid for this work and a new cambelt kit, I also bought a new water pump which the garage fitted for free while he was doing the dephaser.


I had a artic blue standard a few months ago but sold not long after getting it due to second baby but regretted it.

I plan to keep this for a while now so started this thread, car came with a piper cat back, itg panel filter, nearly new ds2500 pads, fresh refurbed wheels, no melting or damage to thumb grips which was pretty hard to find, so these extras saved me a few jobs as these were planned for me to buy anyway, other plans so far

fresh services
rear discs came up as a advisory on last mot so will change these
wheel spacers
cooksport springs
cup spoiler
decat
led side lights and silvertec bulbs for the others
maybe some silver turinis, last 3 cars have had dark wheels and had the 182 alloys on 2 cars now getting abit bored of them
replace a few bolts in engine bay and a few other areas to tidy up
debadge as the sport badge is starting to come away

im also starting to get into the detailing side of cleaning, used to just go car wash but having seen some of the results its got me trying lol

cheers lee

Looks really tidy and came up a treat after the wash!

Its not the most rewarding colour though after a good wash and polish, sadly, nonetheless, it still looks really tidy.

Yeah know what you mean about silver did all by hand but looking for a da polisher and some other polishes see if I can get abit better but not expecting too much
