My R26

[Kris86]

Had it just over a week and been far too busy with work to get some pics so took a few lastnight, enjoy Dont know if its silver or nimbus, dealer said nimbus and it is alot darker when next to a silver car so i dont know..

Mods so far are..none.lol Some new conti sport 3's and a renault parrot hands free and some new mats will do me for this month. Birthday in september though so stage 1 remap and new brakes all round(if funds allow), some recaro stickers for seat bases as it looks bare and ill be happy.

Thanks for lookin

Very nice...

That definitely looks nimbus, when compared to mine, which is mercury silver:

 

[Kris86]

yeah it does look darker, good good i read somewhere there is only a handful of nimbus R26's as they werent available to UK customers but some slipped through.

Yours looks very very clean, what products did you use mate? i used SRP and EGP on mine.

That is JUST Megs Gold class shampoo... planning to give it a full detail sometime soon

 

[Kris86]

looks to have been well looked after then bud!!

That is JUST Megs Gold class shampoo... planning to get Luke Booshy (<3) to give it a full detail sometime soon

Looks good buddy! Shame to see the 182 to go, you miss it at all or can you not hear me over the turbo spool

 

[Kris86]

thing i loved about the 182 it was good on fuel even when ragging it and looked darn good after being polished. Other than that..no dont miss it

 

[leeroybrown]

WOW, that is mega rare.

Its defo nimbus silver, same colour as my current 225 trophy!

Awesome

 

[Kris86]

How rare do you think mate? Cant find any data on R26's sold and how many in each colour..

 

[Ribena]

That is gorgeous, I don't think I've ever seen a nimbus R26. :approve:

 

[Mr Pants]

Lovelyyy! These have grown so much on me the past couple months. Serious contender for my next car when that extra years NCB arrives.

 

[lbrench]

looks nice mate now get it to paul for some stage 1 goodness

 

[Reyes]

I want one. I hate my 225.
I need an R26.

 

[Cunney]

How does the R26 compare when steppin out of a 182 mate?

Very jealous!

 

[Christopher]

Fu cking epic bus.

The colour of champions.

 

[Kris86]

lmfao thankyou mr munson

Chuffed with it..just needs a few bits as said stg1 remap, recaro stickers,wheels refurbed and brakes all round and ill be happy then. Not bothering with an exhaust, liking the peace and quiet compared to the annoying at times miltek on my 182.

Oh and Cunney. Although i loved my BG182, the R26 is something else. Is alot like the 182 but the grip from this thing is unbelievable. Love going around roundabouts in 2nd and accelerating out, you know the LSD/good tyres will pull you out every time. Your welcome to a passenger ride as your local mate!

As standard, i would say a 182 isnt too far away tbh, to 100 im thinking the R26 will be 3-4 car lengths ahead. But it does like a good drink, my 182 i could get 40mpg easily with mixed driving, iv rarely seen 30mpg in this but i am yet to go on a decent run on the motorway yet.
