My 182 OCD cleaning and project thread...

[renclio]

Well suppose i better start up a thread for my new car. Its a 54 plate black/gold 182, is in dire need of a machine polish and for me to full clean out the wheels and arches but the interior is spotless. Has 58k on the clock at the moment. Im delighted with the car. Non cup version but coilovers and cup spoiler at some point and cup splitter or Fabia splitter and it will be perfect.

The only issue with the car is that the exhaust is hanging low on one side. Have had a look at the exhaust is rusty as fook and one of the supporting brackets has snapped off so the first thing to do is to get someone with welding skills and a new supporting bracket of some form.

Here is some pics after a very quick wash today, will be getting a full machine polish soon, de-tar and clay.

This is how the exhaust sits for the moment, anybody help me out with this ?

Will keep this up to date

Looks immense mate oh and pm a mod and move it to clio media!

Can't wait to get my hands on it. Hope you dad was happy with the job on the lupo.

 

[Djw Dave]

Looks nice little dude. You know ill sort out any suspsnsion/service/general mechanics for you. Cheap prices too

 

[DrR]

Looks nice, but whats with the stupid fish eye camera thingy?

Also exhaust, just look under the car, should be obvious what's wrong.

 

[Djw Dave]

On and may i be the first to say it needs silvervisions/cup spoiler/splitter/eibachs etc etc

 

[renclio]

Not a fish eye its just a wide angle lense, and that's the way I roll mate lol

Have had a look and needs a bracket so will get it sorted out soon

I will be following the sheep way I think

 

[Kane.]

Looks mint.

 

[alex-avfc]

Looks nice mate I'm sure you'll have it up to your standards before long.

Bit of a wheelbarrow look going from the rear at the moment lol!

Yozza time for that exhaust!

10mm lens and you still cant get the whole thing in the picture haha !!

I'd bet it's the exhaust hanger that's shot. They're crap. Stick your head under the bumper and have a look see...

 

[renclio]

Thanks for the comments everyone, as soon as I get my hands on a second hand miltek they will be going on, seems that they are quite hard to find though

 

[koi]

So you bought it then :approve:

There was a offer on the Milteks on here the other day

 

[Djw John]

Looks good Cal, read up about Milteks though, I've heard a lot about wleds cracking on them, Having worked on Alans 182 with the Yozza I'd reccommend that every time, built so well and easy to fit, even for me and Dave

Looks good mate I like it, the interior looks brand new.

 

[renclio]
