My new BG 182

[clio-0wner]

this project will probs take a while due to lack of funds at the moment as its going to reno for both belt kits done, new water pump, alt and de-phaser pulley but heere goes...

well its time to move on and start a fresh with a nice black gold (i think) 182 low milage 76k nice and tidy ish appart from few scrapes and chips here and there but its expected on a 4yr old car. unfortunatly the auto trader ad has gone so i cant steal a pic of how it was when i got it lol but im sure most know what a 182 looks like.
plans for it are the usual, lower on coil overs, cat back stainless system then eventually a sports cat, induction kit, bonnet bra, front strut & rear strut braces, urban camo samco hoses then just start with lots of carbon fiber stuff like fog surrounds, thumb grips, dash inserts, gear knob. but before all that theres an odd rattling in the engine somewhere and its also due a cambelt so be sending that to reno as i cba fannying about with taking the front bumper off lol

Mot said it needed a track rod, ball joint and rack end but it was just another track rod so i put 2 new ball joints on and 2 new track rods on i also had some powerflex ARB bushes which i had from the the old clio (they sent wrong ones) and luckly they fit this so heres a pic

also swapped my alloys over

then gave it a clean and detail with demon shine

heres one of the old car (from my other project thread) feeling sorry for itself tucked away at work lol also i said bye bye to all the stickers ha ha

got me some new dash inserts, there not to bad but tbh i could of done better

old

new

obviously more is to come in the future but due to the cambelt stuff costing the good side of £700 it wont be soon when ill be buying more stuff for it, thats all for now guys

Alloys not to my taste atall mate.

OEM look better IMO.

why go to renault for the cambelt/aux etc id rather go to a specialist on here imo, wheels are horrid im afraid.

 

[Clart]

Shite Stickers are shite.

 

[Tomas]

would look a million times better if you kept the standard alloys and just sprayed them anthracite

 

[Ash']

Your old clio looks chavy, new wheels on the 182 look horrid sorry.
