Fitted reg plate would look nice

 

[leeds_182]

3/4 front plate and new style badges can be done for less than £40 and would freshen it up.

That doesn't look like a standard exhaust?

That doesn't look like a standard exhaust?

Agreed.

Looks very smart though.

 

[Craig_fell]

Oh it's a long life from Northampton iirc! Forgot about that, sounds nice though.. Don't think it's under warrenty anymore as it looks like one of the hangers has been re welded. :/

I want the 3/4 plate & new renault sport badges but hesitant on the plate for the police.. maybe next month as this month I'm spending a fair bit on the timing belt/dephaser etc.

Must say I'm loving this site, within days of becoming a full access member my heater went, solderd a new MOSFET on & it's fine again.. Saved me a few £££ already! £12 well spent.

Looking forward to a yorkshire meet!

Welcome mate car looks good

 

[Mr Plums]

Love bg.

 

[Gally]

Welcome mate. Have a soft spot for the 182s just now especially BG. Small mods are best on the Clio anyway so never costs much.

 

[Craig_fell]

Few better pictures I got! What does the BG mean? Black gold? :S

 

[Mr Plums]

Yes mate, that looks great!

Tyre shine, 3/4 plates and spray your top grill satin/gloss black and your on to a winner.

 

[George182]

Looks lovely.

Best colour too

 

[Chi]

So far so good.. BG looks great when it's clean..

 

[Renault Wolverhampton]

these kind of pics remind me what colour my car is under all the dirt!

Funny Enough I just did a search on spraying the Grill after seeing that pic :cheers:Just made myself a shopping list, should all be bought around the 1st, inc 3/4 plate,3m Headlight Resto, silvervisions, a new splitter either Skoda or carbon (don't wanna pay £120 out though) mines cracked..

Need to polish it & wax it!

Thanks Guys!

My Birthday yesterday, so I got the parents to get me the Headlight Resto Kit, 3/4 Plate, Silvervisons & Budweiser.
Girlfriend got me a Dog bone mount from the guys on ebay.
headlight took longer than I thought so I only did 1, it was cold and dark

The one I haven't done, but this is pretty much how the other was..

Finished one, with silvervision.

Really want to spray that grill, but I tried getting it off but im scared of breaking it.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Looking good mate, the headlights look miles better now

 

[Leeshez]

Looking good. I must clean mine.

 

[cat171]

Looks nice, BG looks the nuts when it's clean :approve:

 

[Craig_fell]

I need some tips on cleaning it, but I Cba cleaning it in this weather, got a big garage so may attempt a dry clean.

Problem I have is using the chamois it drys too quick & leaves brown water marks everywhere :/

3/4 plate will be on in the next pics

 

[imprezaworks]

If I had a garage, I'd be single very quickly lol

Don't use a chamois - Its not the 1960s any more.

Pat it dry with this

Bought one, awaiting delivery.

In other news, broke my grill trying to remove it. the little plastic bar that goes behind/over/round the Renault badge just stayed attached to the bumper. Going try & bodge it cause I'm Skint lately.

My wife has a Long Life custom built exhaust on her RB 182 cup and it sounds stunning! one of the best sounding exhausts for 182's by far.

 

[Reyes]

Tidy!!!

 

[Craig_fell]

Forgot about this.. Exhaust has had its way with the trim surround

Watching my brother fix my dads Vectra, his 1.2 TCE in the back..

Also Got my splitter fitted thanks to the awesome group buy. £11 delivered. Thanks mattcreed!

But it soon got cold and wet so I didn't trim the ends.. the wheels don't catch if I wanted to go anywhere.. so itll be good till morning.

 

[jim cook]

Looks good dude ...... Me needs one of those headlight kits mine are f***ed ...

 

[Craig_fell]

They are good, but I need to get some protection for them, they're hazing already only did them other week. :banghead:

 

[Craig_fell]

When you've cleaned your car & you need to dry it but it starts to rain..

Perks of still living with the parents! Get to polish it for the Yorkshire meet on Sunday!


Question that's been asked & answered in different ways.. I'm using AG Ultra deep, should I be putting EGP over it?

Seen people say yes & no its a protection in its own etc & only if your doing this & that.. blah.
