Split personality - CS sheep/rebel (56K *pic ***** alert*)

[hydeyho]

Had my 182 over 6 months now, this is how it started >

I've now begun modding, some will be to everyone's taste (sheep), some will probably be hated (rebel).

'SHEEP' >

Trophy Turini's

Carbon splitter and Cup spoiler

Pioneer H/U

Silvatec bulbs

'REBEL' >

Yellow calipers

Heavy ICE install (custom fibreglass sub box, Phoenix Gold X12D4 sub, DLS MS6 components, 2 Alpine digi amps, 4awg wiring)

Valve caps (still not sure why I put these on, just found them lying about the shed, will only get nicked after 5 mins anyway)

FINAL RESULT :approve:

Planned mods >
Side bagdes sprayed to match wheels
Eibach Sportlines
Smoked side repeaters
RenaultSport badges from Clio 197 / Meg 225
Custom mats

All opinions welcome, but personally I love it :star:

 

[al]

Mint

Would ditch the install lol

 

[Adamhodg]

I like that mate, those trophy turinis really go well with the silver!.
Lower it on eibach's and the other mod's you have planned and it'll look sweet!:approve:

 

[DazG]

Good choice of mods fella!

Very similiar to me! I have trophy alloys, silvervisions, blueflame exhaust, alpine head unit.

I plan to get eibach sportline springs, red calipers and colour codes side badges!

 

[bendee]

looks very nice apart from the subbox looks rather s**t if you ask me, id keep them side repeaters and go for coilovers.

 

[JD]

beauty, very nice, the yellow really goes, im not a fan of painting calipers except black lol but those look superb, great job!!

not keen on install and like you say i dont think that you will have to worry about the valve caps for long thank god

great effort

jamie

 

[christurbo]

Take those metal caps off ASAP..... a couple of CTR + VX220 owners fitted them after a while they seized on making the valves useless.

 

[JD]

go for coilovers.

aye

smoked repeaters will go with the anthracite wheels and badges IMO

Thanks for the heads up Chris, I'll get them off as soon as I go out tonight.

I rushed the finish on the sub box a little, I'm planning on covering the whole lot in carpet and hopefully it will look a lot better.

Might get rid of it all soon though, think I've grown out of the thump thump thump now!

 

[Christopher]

awesome mate!

love what you've done.

some H&R's and you're done.

 

[DH_GTI]

lose the sub lol to heavy. what tyres u got on them alloys ???? size ??

 

[Jonaldinho]

Stunning!

The wheels and cup spoiler are tempting me! lol

 

[hydeyho]

awesome mate!

love what you've done.

some H&R's and you're done.

lol, if only I could afford them, plus my 182 hasn't got the cup packs so coilovers become a problem, just going to go for Eibach springs instead.

 

[UncleGrumpy]

Doo do do do doooo i'm loving it

Like how you've NOT gone down the tacky route and made it look like a dogs dinner, good stuff, did you get bum-raped when you bought the wheels?

 

[Christopher]

ahh

fair play mate, it's a good compromise.

 

[hydeyho]

They are all brand new Falkens, not sure what size should go on the Turini's as my 182 wheels had 205/45/16 but these have got 195/45/16. I do like the look of them though, gives a kind of semi euro theme with stretched tyres.

Thought I got a pretty good deal really, shelled out £525 including tyres from Ebay. Buyer said they'd been used for 35 miles but after close inspection they looked like they'd never seen any tarmac.

Thanks for all the comments folks

 

[ant]

if you want it to actually look lower I wouldn't bother with eibachs.

 

[Stev]

looks smart very nice

 

[hydeyho]

Not even the Sportlines ?? :S

 

[lee_cup]

depends how low, with sportlines it will drop it, but not a dramatic amount

 

[Revels]

Looks good, even if you did buy the same wheels as everyone else!

 

[Steviant]

Looks really good. I'd watch curbs or just cornering hard with those 195's on though.

The rims look very exposed.

They look much worse in the pics for some reason, they dont really seem exposed at all

 

[hydeyho]

Oh I forgot about 1 more mod

 

[Peter.K]

Hope I’m very wrong here but the tyre looks like it’s the wrong size (too narrow) for the wheel.

[Leeshez]

Vast improvment.

 

[JayR]

Lookin good mate but why does it look high or is it just me!? :S

Is standard ff suspension higher than the cup suspension?

 

[Kneel]

Looks good I like it, I think carpeting the box would be a good idea though. Dare I say it looks like a sub hanging out of a bin liner from the pics, sorry.

Yeah can see what you mean. Im no expert, but were the anthracite turinis designed for the 205 tyre rather than the 195? Or are they available in both fitments? :dead:

 

[Andy_J]

coilovers and your sorted mate!

 

[Blue4Ever]

All looks sweet mate, not keen on the install tbh but then that's not really my thing. Plans all sound spot on too.

 

[shaun_cliosport]

looks sweet mate,good mods you made there,especially changing to a cup spoiler!

 

[DebV6]

Looks good, very nice

I'm not 100% but afaik both 195 and 205 are fine on Turini's, I do love the slightly narrower look (as long as its safe lol)

Not sure Jay, I'm contemplating entering the group buy for Sportlines anyway

Well I'm seriously considering getting rid of it now, so if anyone's interested drop me a pm, I'll even carpet the sub box

Very tidy mate

 

[Ali]

Lovely.
