My LY 182 FF

JamboM3 · May 14, 2010

Hi

Not really posted up any pictures, I dont have a great camera so apologise for the pics.
I purchased the car from Steve aka Rsport cars in December and have been over the moon with it. Downsizing from my "dream" car (E46 M3 Cab) i wanted something that made me smile everytime i drove it and had some toys still.

Here are some poop pics, plans so far include Treadlines if i ever find a set i can afford

And possibly painting the interior plastics in Piano black as mine are a bit sratched

2004 LY FF 182
Janspeed Exhaust + sports cat
Alpine x305
Osram diadems

Anyway here are the old hack (Miss so much

)

And heres the bean tin:

Anyway suggestions and comments are all welcome

clio looks lovely

would love an M3

.GAZ. · May 14, 2010

I wouldn't go for Trendlines mate. Pole Positions are far superior!

Car is lovely, how does it compare to the M3?

Mr Pants · May 14, 2010

Lovely!

I love LY. They look awsome no matter which angle you look at it. I want.

JamboM3 · May 14, 2010

Gaz, I like the Treadlines as they are OEM

M3 is obviously in a completely different league to the bean tin. But the Bean tin is just as much fun

Miss the power though!

Lovely choice of colour, LY is stunning

Mmmm, nom nom nom. The beemer looks awesome mate. And the LY looks superb, best colour by far, and yours looks like a prime example!

Awesome. Love LY

top colour, black dash inserts with LY decals would look good and maybe a ali foot rest.

great car mate the best colour IMO too

Think of the fuel you will save after the M3 !!

JamboM3 · May 14, 2010

Thanks for all the comments

i have been meaning to get an ally footrest as it seems odd to have 3 metal pedals bujt no footrest to match'

fuel savings alone make this worth it, yet im still skint. Dont understand how that happens in life!

.GAZ. · May 14, 2010

Get some DTH ITB's

ScarySquirrel · May 14, 2010

Looks great, although I'm not keen on your indicator bulbs.

You can never have too much LY :approve:

JamboM3 · May 14, 2010

Jamie thats very strange lol

I fancied a Megane but couldnt justify fuel costs etc, very nice liquidyellow

Andy-182 · May 14, 2010

Looks really nice mate!

R-Sport. · May 19, 2010

Looking good fella........

Nice to see your looking after the car--

I thought I recognised the drive!!!!!!!!

freemo77 · May 19, 2010

ive never seen any other car that can pull off the yellow that some people have their 182 in. really makes it stand out. that m3 is delish though! am guessing the reason your getting rid is the running costs or similar because that is one beautiful car

JamboM3 · May 20, 2010

Thanks Steve.

Yeah M3 had to go as i want to buy a house and i was spunking huge volumes of cash to put petrol in, service, tires etc. Plus it was an 02 car, getting near 80k so sold it while it still worked and still commanded decent money. Missing the BM bad, but the Clio is so much fun im not that bothered tbh! If ever i get the bmw blues i just tap the trip stalk back to mpg and breath a sigh of relief lol

DebV6 · May 20, 2010

Very nice, lovely colour

VeinAST · May 20, 2010

Nice M3. Perfect colour combo. Shame you've had to get rid.

Gally · May 20, 2010

Lols at you checking the trip computer! MPg must be nice!

Not a bad replacement right enough, nowhere near comfort wise but a lot more chuckable!

JamboM3 · May 20, 2010

M3 is just as chuckable

Just cant go mad in small car park like spaces with it

Thanks for all the comments

JamboM3 · May 20, 2010

Small update

WIll be fitted when my OEM style Renault stickers come for the logo's etc...

Et voila:

Also go this handmade metal footplate, looks great

Here's a before and an after:

Comments/opinions welcome

Looks nice mate, i'm after going for OEM look dash inserts myself, thinking piano black with red stickers, make sure to update the thread when you've got them in!

Andy-182 · May 20, 2010

Looks nice, liking those mods mate

SteveS Cup · May 20, 2010

Looks good!

Your M3 is identical to my mates old one! I do love them but the costs / issues with them scare me TBH... Purchase cost is one thing... but going into BMW for anything with an M3 you're coming out of there with a 4 figure invoice in your hand!!!

I fancy a facelift 330ci convertible soon me thinks.

Atleast you're enjoying the Clio... I downgraded from a 225 TT 2003 (slightly modified and I was getting around 20mpg) and I'm loving being back in a small hot hatch. They are so bloody cheap to run!
