Something a little different

[Jake-ere-1993]

So brought the 182 a few months back, completely standard. It now stands like this...

New RS badge
Cup spoiler
Coilovers
Anniversary Golf BBS wheels
Carbon badges front and rear

Next to come:
Exhaust system
Black bullets
Satin black upper grill, lower grill
Carbon fog surrounds and rear bumper insert


C+C welcome

 

[cat171]

The wheels look awful on it.

 

[Craig-S]

They aren't Anniversary wheel's, they look like mk3.5 cabriolet wheels.

I do quite like it though.

 

[Knuckles]

I was expecting far worse, good work

 

[Mr Burns]

I think it looks alright, but the tyre profile is too small IMO.

 

[CrippsCorner]

I really like that! Wish I'd been a bit different now.

 

[SkidMarx]

I agree it needs more tyre profile and maybe some more front camber with some spacers. Think they would look really good then.

 

[Mr Plums]

I think it looks pretty good mate, different but good.

 

[bennettxo]

Looks good mate,love gold wheels on a black car

 

[Tim.]

Good for you, BGs can look lovely!

If you're going with the gold wheels gold bullets would look great!

 

[Alan]

Shockingly bad, IMHO of course.

 

[Steven103]

Ride height & impractical tyre profile screams McDonalds IMO on an otherwise harmless car.

 

[DannyR]

I'm sorry but it's a Y reg 182?

 

[Matt e]

I'm sorry but it's a Y reg 182?

private plate probley

 

[DannyR]

Well I've never seen a private plate in that format/number before!

But regcheck shows it as a 2004 182! Weird, it cheapens it somehow!

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

The plate is a private plate.

Thanks for the feedback. It needs some spacers and a little camber on the rear but really happy with it.

Tyre profile is 50, which is spot on for what I wanted.

"Screams McDonalds?" No I just wanted to do something different from the norm.

Not to everyone's tastes but I love it and love the colour

 

[wozza182]

I like it mate and I think with some spacers it will look spot on.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

While I not too keen on the style of the wheels I think the colour goes really well with BG. Good effort mate.

if you weren't yourself, you'd now be the subject of death threats and ridicule by the cs.net Illuminati !

I like that. Nice to see something different! Look better than the 2118's people fit to them imo.

 

[leeds2592]

If it isn't on Cooksports and Turini's, a lot of people on here will say it looks s**t.

I like it though. Agreed some spacers would finish it off nicely though. What coilovers you running?

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Thanks for the good comments! I know Turini's or F1's are peoples main choice which is why I didn't want them!

Coilovers are only the KTR ones. I had Vmaxx on my 172 and reviews said they were a better choice so went with them and I'm impressed so far!

Spacers are on the list, just to measure up for size and I'll order some

THIS

 

[Steven103]

Oh no I'm not knocking you for doing something different at all!

I just think slammed & gold wheels on a black car are the number 1 & 2 mods for the typical "car cruise" type 1.2 Clio.

 

[Rob]

I actually quite like it.

 

[imprezaworks]

Like that, wheels look good against the black

 

[cb10]

Think it looks good mate, its good to be different, .

What's weird about his plate? a letter, three digits, space, three letters LNNN LLL perfectly legal or does any thing registered before 2000 not compute for you

 

[steve32c]

Gold bullets and smoked black wing indicators the clear ones spoil the effect......

f**k me, I was stating I'd never seen a private plate in that configuration.

Ones of that format are usually either 111, 222, 333 etc... Or 100, 200, 300 etc. just never seen one with that combination of numbers.

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Cheers for all the good comments! I'm either going to do just black bullets with gold writing or wrap them carbon. Tinted wing indicators are defiantly in the pipe line!

 

[Cub.]

I'll have to keep my eye out for this around Reading, not seen it yet!

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

I live in Reading and work in Twyford! Only ever seen a couple around. Hopefully can make it to the meet on the bank holiday and see some/meet people there!

 

[Dimmock197]

i think the wheels look smart mate! nice looking 182

 

[James28]

I think it looks quite good too to be fair, bit too low at the back mind

 

[Jake-ere-1993]

Just ordered some sprayshack bullets which will make a massive different!

 

[B00mer]

I like it :approve:

 

[matthewstearn]

I really like it mate. Nice to see people trying different things. We cant all have Turnins and Silvervisions can we.
