My BG 182 treat to some carbon

[Austin-182]

I have just picked my 182 up from having its major service today (il be doing a thread in the trader section about that) and i also had a carbon splitter fit which id bought a while back, wanted to wait the snow had gone first lol! My gf bought me a carbon fibre kit for my birthday so i had a go at making my own bullets, they arnt perfect but they look good and happy with how they turned out when it was my first atempt at doing it...heres a few pics ive just taken

Comments welcome as allways

Looks pretty stealth. How did you smooth the bullets? lots and lots of sanding?

Oh yeah, have fun with speedbumps and kerbs

 

[Jekyll]

Liking that big time. Might have to get me on of those front badges

 

[Gally]

Love the stance but the smooth badges don't work.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Love the stance but the smooth badges don't work.

This im afraid. Stunnin looking car but them carbon bullets let it down for me

 

[Curley]

Nice, I would of preferred the 2.0 on the badges but I doubt it would of been possible with the carbon kit. Have you thought about anthracite 2.0 16v stickers?

 

[Gandi69]

Spot on ride height in my books, on coilovers?

 

[Y7 ADW]

The stance is spot on. And I really like the carbon splitter, the bullets...not for me.

+1. I want this look too

 

[Scott™]

I totally agree with this. I looks fantastic otherwise.

 

[Austin-182]

Well lads im quite surprised ur not fans of the bullets, i like the 2.0 bullets but sometimes thay can look a bit tacky...as for the 2.0 sticker sugestion, no way that would look really tacky, i dont need to prove its a 2 litre lol

 

[cliosportap]

very low car
what coilovers do you have

 

[sava001006]

i agree the stance is perfect, and tbh i quite like the smooth cf bullets... mainly because i have some:rasp:

 

[Poopensharten]

A speed bump should take care of your splitter in no time...

 

[Austin-182]

Coilovers are GAZ and have siezed up so cant change the height, il need them off to have a propa go and thats just going to cost money...starting to think i may need to buy a new set for the money it would cost to get a garage to swap them to standard while i try and get them freed off

 

[Philip.]

Lovely that, but the splitter wont last long

 

[Chris205]

Nice work mate I like the bullets, smart and subtle. Get the fog surrounds done next

 

[Austin-182]

Yes mate a lot of sanding lol

 

[jim cook]

Very nice

 

[Benj88]

The bullets look ideal

 

[Christopher]

Apart from the silly tyres and weak offset, it's mint!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

perfect BG 182

 

[Wests Renault]

love it mate

 

[Austin-182]

lol you have some seriouse beef with my tyre sizedont you!? ive actually just had 2 front 195 40's put on again today, only reason is that my coilovers have siezed up so going to need to deal with that situation then i will be changing to a bigger tyre size...had to get these on today as tracking has made sides smooth and didnt want to have diff size front and back

 

[Austin-182]

Cheers Bifcaids and West's

[robbygraham]

Is your front number plate a pressed metal one, car looks really nice

 

[7unner172]

looks mint kid

 

[Austin-182]

Yes mate, front and rear, im changing them to standard and plain though with the front fit to the recess

 

[Austin-182]

 

[olliemilsom]

Car looks awesome mate. Do you get no rubbing at all being that low? Can you still drive it fast through twisties, mine isnt as low as yours but i have already had problems, want it lower

 

[kingchrissyp]

looks really nice but id be scared to drive it at that height - a little to low for our pot hole filled roads

 

[Craig.]

Love it :approve: add some spacers & its perfect imo

 

[AKFM1]

lovely!!!!

 

[Austin-182]

No rubbing at all mate, i do run 195 40 tyres though

 

[Austin-182]

Its way to low and ive gone off the low look, it is going to be raised a little bit at the front but coilys have siezed so will need fixing first
