Si's BG 182

[si_hartlepool]

I've owned the car since the end of November 2011 and I've made a few changes subtle changes since then.

When I bought the car it was standard apart from;
Milltek cat back
'Austin-182' Alcantara A pillars and handbrake cover
K&N Apollo induction kit
Painted diamonds, bullets and Clio badge

The K&N soon went in place for a standard air box

After seeing the quality of the workmanship of the A pillars, I paid Austin-182 a visit so he could trim the gear gaiter and the interior mirror covers in alcantara

And finally I fitted some Sportlines yesterday. They still need to settle in so it will end up lower

Gutted about the wiper...got it sorted?

Alcantara bits were about £80 all in i recon. Austin's a nice guy though so if you're interested give him a shout

I'm curious how long they'll last as well haha

They've been done for about 3 weeks now and they're holding up well. Saves dressing them after a wash as well

I might even do my bottom grill and mirror surrounds.

 

[TonkaTruck]

Lovely car!

Parked next to you a few weeks back and admired it. Stunning.

Sneak preview of my freshly painted dash strips

I also learnt a lesson.....don't draw comedy c***s on your mates van then ask him to paint something for you haha

Looks like the drivers one needs painting again haha

 

[si_hartlepool]

Dash strips, steering insert and gear stick insert professionaly painted anthracite with white decals.

They're so shiny you can't show the colour properly in a photo haha

 

[Leeshez]

Nice. A job well done.

Cheers mate the colour goes really well with the standard greys in the cabin and the Alcantara bits.

I prefer them to the carbon bits before.
