Hey all

Picked this up the other day.

Its my first 182 after 5 years of driving 1.2s its a dream to drive.

Planning to fix some bonnet chips and give it a full detail then a new exhaust (thinking scorpion 192) and improve the handling suspension, dampers etc.
Still a Newbie at this but should be fun and will get some better photo's!

So today I decided to fix the bonnet chips on the car.

Started with a snow foam wash then used some Autofinesse obliterate to strip the bonnet of wax then cleaned the chips with some vodka then a final rinse. Masking taped around the chips just so I can remember where they are, then set about filling each with paint using the toothpicks. Two hours later I applied the clear coat, sanding down and results tomorrow.

Thanks,

Cup springs will need replacing soon so probably going to swap them for sportlines then add a whiteline ARB when there's another group buy. Also hoping to pick up some 2118 alloys at some point in the future.
