E46 M3, Clio 182
Picking up from Where Ash-J left off.. Can see his thread here: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/ashers-bg-182.773952/page-3
Picked the car up off Ash in December Last year and have a few minor things to do and wanted to keep a project file going.
First minor thing was to add a aluminium rest plate.
Before:
After:
Next up was to change the xenons from the grey 182 inserts, to the black 172 inserts. I bought some second hand ones that requried a referb. I used the Autoglym kit that attaches to a drill. Impressed with the results, not 100% perfect, but still very good!
Before:
After:
In the process of fitting:
Forgot to get a finished picture of the lights, but look much better.
Next up was a Whiteline ARB. Purchased brand new, again forgot to take a picture fitted / fitted.
Next on the list was some brembo 4pot front brakes.
Managed to source some second hand callipers on ebay, they came with 197 discs, which were no use to me.
Excuse the slippers! haha!
Managed to source some second hand brakets and extended braided lines to fit the 300mm discs, then bought some Brembo HC 300mm discs and ferodo DS2500.
Now awaiting for the calipers to come back from referb, decided to go black, with white brembo decal.
Next up on the list is wheel referb as im not too keen on the current colour, thinking titanium silver, have bought 5mm, 10mm and 15mm spacers to get the right stance, which will be put on with the brakes, also purchased some longer TPI Polarised bolts to go with the spacers.
New front splitter needed, as is cracked in the middle.
Overal, very happy with the car right now.
All the pictures taken with my phone (so may be poor quality).. sorry!
Comments Welcome.
