My petrol blue girl!!

[Flat Eric]

Looks tidy. I still want to see one of these. Hope there's one at FCS this year.

 

[PP200t]

Here's the most recent pic of her. Satin blacked the wheels, added grooved front discs and had the centre silencer took out as it was rusty and blowing. Think she looks nice now.

Looks great that mate, love the colour :approve:

 

[leeds_182]

Not a fan of the black rimmage.

Thanks mate.

Not a fan of the black rimmage.

A few people aren't to be honest, elkworks called me nasty names!! Lol but I like it, I think it looks 'mean'.

 

[Gandi69]

What discs did you go for? Black 182 wheels I dont think work on many colours but oddly I dont find that too bad

 

[Brookie.]

The black wheels do nothing for the colour mate.

There was one on here recently with silver Turinis and the colour looked great against the Petrol Blue!

 

[GSKingsbury]

Looks like it needs a splitter !! Gorgeous colour though =] !!

 

[Lal B3N]

Lovely colour. Think it needs lighter colour wheels though.

 

[.Steve]

Guessing thats not a common colour? Never seen it before, looks lovely though. IMO the black wheels look good

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Off topic but, drilled and grooved etc, does that not just reduce the surface of the braked disc there for reducing your braking ability? Not a brake expert or anything but thats my thought from my Science gcse

 

[Gandi69]

trade off as it supposedly better with heat dissipation at a slight trade off with pad life. Are you going to notice on a clio though? The answers no, hence most people use the "normal" discs. Drilled discs can potentially crack around the holes. Ive run a set of drilled discs with no problems but its a niggling though in the back of your mind and something else to keep checking for

 

[DanEdser]

white wheels would look better IMO

Did have a gen one, but it broke, then I fitted a skoda splitter but yanked it off on a curb, just need to refit it.

Yeah, extremely rare mate.

I only got them because they were cheap and I like the look, not for the performance side. I do keep checking for cracks etc.

That'll be mine - erm thanks (can I say thanks in someone else's thread?)

I actually like the black wheels (I liked the sliver too though!)

Need to sort my brakes too.

Oh, and sort your bullets now they don't match the wheels - just kidding!

There was one on ebay once with white 182 wheels- looked terrible!!

Yeah I saw that one, white 182 wheels. Looked sickening!!!

 

[PP200t]

One from this morning after adding wax yesterday.

 

[PP200t]

Haters gonna hate!!

 

[PP200t]

Fitted my ph1 gearstick yesterday. In my opinion it looks great and feels better!!

excuse the rubbish!!

 

[Flat Eric]

Is that a standard ph1 gear stick? Looks great either way.

Looks good on black wheels too. I'm still waiting to see one of these. Come to the next west mids meet.

 

[PP200t]

Hi thanks!! Yeah a standard ph1 gearstick. Fitted it yesterday, was a bit of a pain ( and in my stupidity I fitted it wrong) but i really like it.
I am going to try but I'm working till 8 that day so unless I can get out of it, I will have to come to another. Gutted isn't the word!!

 

[Poopensharten]

Phase 1 gear sticks are great!

Just not when its -3* outside lol

 

[PP200t]

Yeah yesterday morning it wasn't cold out but my knob was cold to the touch. Took some getting used to!!

 

[Addicted]

I've gotta say while it does look good with black wheels (I don't usually like black wheels but it looks nice here), the silver make it look the bee knees, probably due to the fact they're so rare so standard = win!

 

[PP200t]

One from today!!

 

[Flat Eric]

Looks great! I want to see one so bad. Got to admit. I'm in two minds with the black or silver wheels. They both look great.

 

[PP200t]

You will see her soon enough, I promise you!!!

 

[Gandi69]

cameras have a hard time capturing this colour well, you've done a good job there

 

[PP200t]

I know and it was only an iPhone 4s pic with the standard image enhancement on!

 

[Djw John]

Looks good piers, ph1 gearstick looks good as well, I should've supplied an old iPod sock as well, that's what I use every winter!

 

[PP200t]

Thanks john! Funny you should say that cuz it was freezing this morning!!!

 

[Djw John]

Just you wait, I've used one in -13! That was defo a glove job. DO NOT lick it to see how cold it is

[PP200t]

Lol that would be something I'd do to be honest!!!

 

[G Ster]

That looks awesome with black wheels! Petrol Blue has to be the best colour for a 182!..

You're not wrong!

 

[PP200t]

Nope, not wrong at al!! Thanks for the comments!

 

[PP200t]

Interesting find, looking through the booklets that came with the car tonight, I found the original leaflet for the sale of the car, and the colour is listed as being 'paddock green'.
