Looks clean otherwise

Thanks for the advice, what would you suggest about the exhaust?
Also, do they just peel off the stickers?

Sorry, don't know much about cars at all

How would I sort the exhaust out - if it sticks out a bit far?
Cheers in advance

All depends what you want to do to the car. Personally, I would stick a Ktec or milltek on there but if you're not into tuning it up abit, just jack the car up and move it back. If you don't have the luxury of a jack etc then any garage will do it for about £20-£30.

I've notice you are a newbie so I would say this site along with http://www.k-tecracing.com/ will be your life savers. (a few other places around as well)

As said before, dump the stickers an move exhaust back. How you finding the audio set up?

looks great and welcome to the forum not too keen on the two tow bars

Well it's got a JVC KDSH9101 installed, good radio quality - I hope that's what you were asking lol.
I have got a question though, where the gear box is, there is the cigarette lighter, what's the compartment next to it (got a black cover on, but remove the cover it reveals a yellow connection) ?
I can get a photo, if you're unsure what I'm referring to .

Welcome mate!

RS Tuning stickers - Paul is a legend, so no worries with whatever work it's had done!

Exhaust is sticking out too far, need to get it up on some ramps to check that out.

Rear discs looks a bit rusty, either it's where it has been parked for a while, or that your calipers are not working correctly - A quick strip and clean will solve that

Nice little car there buddy

 

[jjgunner09]

Nice ride mate looks sweet the exhaust might be pushed back cos of ya engine mounts might be goin

 

[Andy Woodcock]

I'm guessing there is some work to be done on it.
best take it to garage & see what the cost will be - cheers everyone

 

[Andy Woodcock]

If the mounts are going, will it be a costly repair?

 

[Russ_16v]

No mate, easy to change and not expensive - contact Wests Renault (tom on here) as he works for Renault and offers discount to CS members

 

[danh90]

exhaust sorted and stickers then youve got a nice car

Welcome, as said I'm in the exhaust and sticker camp.

Under the ash tray thingy next to the cigarette lighter is the OBD2 port. Think that's what your referring to.

Ill look into getting that fixed
thanks for the input.
What is an OBD2 port?

 

[Russ_16v]

It is the plug you plug a fault code reader into to check your fault codes etc mate

 

[Andy Woodcock]

A right ok cheers.

Is he close to Sheffield? As that's where I'm from

Nice car mate. As already said get rid of the stickers and sort the exhaust. If its still on the original exhaust then you'll be better getting an aftermarket one (funds allowing of course) as the original usually rot.

Looking good mate.

Cheers Andy.
I'll have to look at the funds, but I can tell (with looking at other 182's) the exhaust is slightly further out.

Thank you all for the advice
