My car

[182jwilliams]

A lot of things are going to be changed. Turini wheels in a couple of weeks with some Cooksport/Ebaich lowering springs. Give me some of your own suggestions on what I could do! Thanks

 

[pritchard-13]

The best cheap mods I done on my 172 cup was a 3/4 front number plate and a skoda fabia front splitter

 

[182jwilliams]

A good friend of mine recommended the skoda fabia front split. Where'd you get your 3/4 front plate? I think it looks smart

 

[Beasley Clio182]

Looks clean !! Silver vision indicators bulbs look good makes the blend in a little better IMO

The fabia splitter cost me like 15 quid of ebay genuine too and plate u get from fancyplates theres a thread on here that tells you the size u need ect I cant remember what it was just search it up mate

 

[182jwilliams]

Cheers bud!

 

[182jwilliams]

Beasley Clio182 thanks mate! I'll be uploading more pictures showing my progress of the car

 

[JimF]

Looks great in silver!

 

[Beasley Clio182]

@Beasley Clio182 thanks mate! I'll be uploading more pictures showing my progress of the car

Good man ! If you want see the difference have a gander through my project thread mate there's before and after in there ! Click the renaultsport 182 link near my name !

 

[182jwilliams]

JimF thanks mate

What the hell has happened to the upper and lower grill????

 

[Jekyll]

Don't get rid of the current splitter! It looks like a genuine Renault one which are £130!! Fabia ones are good if the car doesn't have a splitter but not as nice as your current one imo.

 

[182jwilliams]

I don't have a clue I brought it exactly how it is besides the black bullets, that upper grill looks silly. It's annoying the only way I can take the upper grill off is drilling it, that means leaving holes. So I'll be buying another one in a couple of week!

 

[182jwilliams]

Dr Jekyll I would like a carbon one, I'll clean this one up and see how it looks first

 

[Jekyll]

Get some g4 teqnique on it. It's only a little bottle for around £25 but it goes far and will do all your plastics back to black with great results. Have a search mate and see some before and after pics. Well worth it.

Carbon ones look great but they get heavily stone chipped and need relaquering every now and again. I'm going off my experience and I had 2 on my 182 at £130 each lol

 

[Steven103]

THANK GOD you're getting rid of those wheels. Have you considered burning them or are you planning to sell them on?

Upper & lower grill just looks like very thin mesh, I'd be amazed if it attached particularly permanently. Anyway if you do happen to need a lower grill I've got one you can have for £15 (collected?) and I'm in the same county as you!


You say you're changing a lot, are you going for a really clean look or are you thinking track day mods?

 

[182jwilliams]

Dr Jekyll thanks mate I'll have a look at that! I'll probably end up getting a carbon one mid next year lol, they look great.
Steven103 ha, they'll be going in the shed for a good while mate. PM me where you're located.

I'm going for a clean look mate.

 

[jjames]

i don't know if you will get cooksport springs, they haven't been in stock for over 4 months.

 

[182jwilliams]

jjames I've emailed them about 6 times asking if they know when they're getting them in and haven't got one reply. I think I'll go for the eibach sportlines anyway

 

[jjames]

yes i will go for eibach, i just wish the red came in black, a bit more subtle.

 

[Jekyll]

You can get eibach prolines that come in black. They only drop the car approx 15mm whereas the eibach sportlines are approx 30mm.

I can't comment on the prolines but I've had both cooksports and sportlines as sportlines are more comfier.

 

[182jwilliams]

jjames yeah I do as well.
Dr Jekyll I saw the prolines but noticed they only dropped 15mm. I'd prefer the sportlines I think

 

[182jwilliams]

So this morning I decided to take the 'Renault Sport' badge off my car. Looks so much better in my opinion.
Used an old bank card, (couldn't use hair dryer because everyone was in bed) warm water worked well.

First picture, the sticky stuff was still on the car, so added a little more warm water and started scrapping with the card lightly. Then washed the dirt off, dried the water off, then polished away

 

[jjames]

make sure you replace the orange indicator bulbs at the front with silver bulbs

[Jekyll]

Wow!! That's steep!!

You can get silvervisions off eBay for about £3 delivered!

 

[182jwilliams]

Dr Jekyll jjames I'll be getting silvervisions in a couple of weeks. Most probably off eBay lol

 

[Beasley Clio182]

Looks good mate defo get silver visions off eBay lol! I bought two sets and 1 bulb stopped working about 1 month later , they sent me a new one FOC as well! Can't moan !

 

[Chi]

I like the yellow fogs and Id get the new RS badge for the back.. Whats the inside like?

 

[182jwilliams]

Beasley Clio182 thanks mate, yeah I'll be getting them silver visions
Kangoosport yeah I'll be taking the clio badge off soon and get the RS badge, probably in the new year

 

[182jwilliams]

Kangoosport only thing I've done for inside is a snappy wheel. Want to get mats carbon and give a good clean. So I'll get some pictures once it's ready

 

[Chi]

Spray shack do some nice trim bits. .

 

[182jwilliams]

Kangoosport I wanna get the front sorted out and a respray, a lot of stone chips, dent in the bonnet and a couple of marks. And the rear bumper has a nasty mark on the corner, and a dent.

 

[Chi]

Good plans should be good. ..

 

[182jwilliams]

Woke up early and decided to give the engine bay a clean!

This is what I meant about having to drill the cover off that was covering the upper grill.

Looks a lot better I reckon! Ordering the new 3/4 plate and speedline Turini wheels tomorrow! Looking forward to it

 

[Amos91]

Dafuq was the point of drilling in place a grill cover? Oh dear.

Looks much better now!

 

[182jwilliams]

Amos91 I know, looked silly. Luckily the lower grill was only screwed in! Thanks mate

 

[182jwilliams]

A few more changes, amazing how the speedline Turini wheels make so much difference! 3/4 plate, silvervisions and the RS rear badge. With the Cooksport lowering springs delivered, should be fitted next week!
Still only half way there, but here's how it's looking now

 

[R-Sport.]

Looking nice- although all that money spent & ditch finders fitted...

[Feates172]

He will be getting Conti's in January Steve. Already mentioned he should change them at some point.

Let me know when you want the cooksports fitted Jake. Might be worth while you contacting Adam from Renault Wolverhampton in the traders section, and get prices for new top mounts and shocks all round.

This.

Tidy bus, but cheap tyres.. not a good idea, the way i see it, its the only thing that keeps you on the road.
