New car

[JordonM]

Picked this up on monday night:


It's a 182 replica, but one of the best I've seen. The lad selling it actually bought it as it is now, so was unsure on the spec, but from what I can work out it has:
Full 182 bodykit
Ktec 182 exhaust for non sport
182 interior
182 steering wheel
Cup spoiler
Cup splitter
182 cup wheels
Xenons
Possibly widetracked hubs, might be spacers not had a chance to look yet
Lowered 60mm-ish, again I'm not entirely sure
K&N induction kit with CAF
Colour coded
Aftermarket alarm system
DVD head unit
Full respray in what I believe is Arctic blue

There's probably a few more things I've forgotten as well. It does also have the sport badge and the 2.0l bullets, something I will possibly be looking at changing. Plans for the future involve colouring the badges, flocking the dash, more alacantara interior bits such as the A pillars, some new wheels and a few other surprises

Looks alright. You'll have to get some better pics up when you get it.

Its beyond me why anyone would spend all that money (respray included) to make a replica.

Looks a really nice car, but I fail to see the point.

Surley buying one and insuring must be cheaper?

 

[JordonM]

Understand what your saying, which is why I didn't bother making mine a replica, and just went and bought this! Its had an insane amount of money spent on it from what I can tell, buying and insuring the real thing would definitely have been the cheaper option.

Great replica!!!

As above I really cant see the point in spending all that money to make one. cheaper to just buy a 182.

Oh you did the sensible thing, why spend, probably a few thousand on building one when you can just buy it finished!!

Looks a good one anyway mate

Exactly! Spraying the car would have surely cost the same as insurance if not more, even if it was a young driver. Don't really know why I'm complaining though, got myself a bargain considering the money spent on it!
