My new 182 :D

[Pep]

Well, here she is!

Picked it up yesterday and it is awesome! Love everythign about it!

Plans are:

2 new PE2's - Tuesday
Eibach springs - Possibly this weekend
Silver visions - Whenever
Petrol - as and when
Splitter - fitted today
Sort out dent and a few stoneschips - whenever i can

The splitter is from a pug 307, £35 all in, it's nice and flexible so won't shatter, and looks the part I think.
A before and after pic of it fitted:

Then just a few random ones. It needs a quick clean but not got round to that yet!

 

[Aluco]

wheels look good against the silver

 

[RDH]

Very nice indeed. Love the contrast of the wheels to the colour of the body. Splitter looks good too.

 

[Christopher]

Awesome Joe... looks immaculate!

 

[paul]

shes killed some files LOL!

Looks just like my old one!

Looks lovely bet your over the moon!

get it cleaned

 

[Pep]

Yeah they are all flies on the front!
Just waiting for the sun to drop a bit and I'll get the fly remover on it before they bake on too much!

Few stone chips, a small scuff on the side trim and a dent in the roof, but paid a very good price so not fussed at all

very nice mate im gonna get my pics up in a sec

 

[paul]

how many miles are on the new toy :approve: ill look out for you!!

 

[Dan 172]

Look like a nice example.

Splitter looks good too, looks standard.

 

[Pep]

It's done a little over 35k miles. FRSH including the 36k & aux belt at Renault last week.

Yeah, put one of these on my mates 172 as well, looks nice and subtle and almost original except for the split line in the centre. Bit of a ballache to fit, and it doesn't look 100% in person, more like 90%, but for the price I won't argue!

 

[paul]

sound good then! you need to change your avatar!

 

[Marky_]

Nice one lad!

 

[drummie]

[C.J]

Nice. Some black insert Xenons would make it 100%

Never spotted it on ebay!
But no, was from mansfield in nottingham.

Thanks for the comments, I love it so much!

Need to limit my driving though because one of the front tyres is borderline illegal and can't get them changed until Tues afternoon, gutted!

 

[Alan]

Peach matey...love titanium wi both cup packs..

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks good.

 

[terribleclio]

i thought you'd bought chris's 182? But either way it looks good

 

[Pep]

^ I did, but the sale fell through as Chris couldnt find a car and couldnt let his go to me.

This came up for sale and it is awesome!

 

[Pettsi]

Top job! Best colour from my biast opinion!

Plans sound good.

 

[Whiteley]

Very nice, good feeling at 19 isnt it :approve:

I love it!

There was a few lads who I went to school with used to laugh at me when I was 18 and still had my 1.2 Clio when they had 1.6 astras and focus's. Yesterday I called at my local cash machine and saw them, their jaws hit the floor when they saw me get into the 182!!

I love rubbing it in their noses, just because they did to me!

 

[Pep]

Now I have the sportlines on after a bit of messing about, I can notice a subtle difference, feels a bit better on the road too, whoop whoop!

It'll get lower in a few weeks, give it a month then get the tracking alignment done. Never bought a car that didn't need it done, makes a surprising difference. Looks good.

They have already been run on a car for about 1k miles, so I don't reckon they will go much lower, but I'm really happy with them.

Was gonna get the tracking done when I get 2 new tyres on tomorrow afternoon, will it make any difference to it leaving it longer even though the springs are already bedded in?

Springs should be fine if 1k miles on. I'd get full alignment/tracking done, normally costs £80ish this way.
