Stealthy 182 Progress Thread...



  Clio 182
glad i've finally seen someone with an LCR splitter on a 182. I've had one sat in my garden from my VAG days for almost 2 years. Its finally found a purpose!
 
  Clio 182 FF
Mint,that car has sure got some shine goin on,as i've always said only get black if your gonna look after it,good job dude....
 
  BG182FF
lovely car mate, love it. Have you sprayed your bottom grille and fog surrounds satin black?

Also, the cupra splitter looks great, something different to the fabia/cup splitter.

god damn facebook compression ruining my photos :'(

still here we have the painted cupra splitter..

smoked lights.. erm.. thats about it visually..

still the other day after alot of cuts and swearing managed to successfully port my inlets with a dremel.. yes.. for a seemingly small job it took the piss to do!

251256_10150209373284864_515699863_7332553_29885_n.jpg


:D ive also removed the acoustic valve and replaced it with a CAF to the lower grill.. all in all it seems to like being able to breathe a bit better with these mods.. when i first started it it was revving high..(i presume because of the new amounts of oxygen it could now gulp) and after a few seconds it adjusted itself.. taking it for a little blast round some back roads it seems much better!

p.s

after a friend was having trouble with his corsa the other day i went to see if i could help..

half hour later..

found your problem mate!!!

this is not what to do to a z14xep..

also opinions please... dark anthracite, black or any other color for the wheels... looking at getting them powdercoated this week
 
  Stealth 438'd 182
Nice wagon that mate, need to cut much of the LCR splitter?



Have you painted the insids of the headlights? :)

not really that much tbh.. jus the centre clips need to be trimmed down and the sides trimmed a little then screwed into the bottom of the bumper with self tapping
screws :p

and yeah did the insides black and painted the indicator reflectors black inside.. looks alot better IMO

Looks lovely mate!

thanks pal, I've given it a full detail with a machine polisher last week which took me about 12 hours!!!!

il put the pics up later tonight :p

Awesome looking car mate. Just really clean. the way it should be! Also loving the Cupra splitter!

i say keep the black looks brilliant, as for a spoiler have you not thought about a trophy/v6 one to be different to a cup spoiler? just a thought
 
  (s)Low Dynamique
Looks stunning, stealth is a great theme! And in my opinion your wheels look perfect in black, so I'd keep them like that if I was you ;)
 
Doesn't everything supercharged look stealth ? Plus nice car but a cs is never gonna be stealthy they are far too noticeable :)

Get a smartcar lol
 
  Stealth 438'd 182
Aother meet at Bassetts is needed i think mate :) another tunnel run through queensways ;)

yes!! definitely mate!!

anything new with the clio bud?

well spose another small update.. fixed my headlight brackets after a small altercation with a rabbit on a country road..

wheels are done.. dark anthricite.. not too sure on them yet! well... I love them but im not sure if i prefer them to the black.. il get some pics up.. they may go black again yet!

bought a cup spoiler too! off shwebb on here.. just need to buy a new brake light from renault for it and get it sprayed up.. should be done by the end of the week..

dewipering it tomorrow too..

so pics tomorrow i guess!
 
  Stealth 438'd 182
cup spoiler gone to painting should be able to get it on tomorrow :D ordered a new brake light from renault too as the one that was in it had cracked slightly.. just so its mint.. most people probably wouldn't notice or care but im proper picky!
 
  Stealth 438'd 182
well another update.. been a while!!.. after failing miserably on the map front after JMS shut down and Henk stopped making RS Tuners I got bored and money started burning a hole...then i saw a set of turinis that caught my eye..picking them up tomorrow and delivering them to Sweeney & Sherlock Birmingham to get refurbished.. (possibly the best ive ever used and quite well priced.. proper powdercoat job with all the treatments)

.. still have no idea what colour.. im really tempted to go for black again!!!!!!

anyway even then there is progress! and Turinis to go on before the end of the week!

Cup spoiler on and petrol cap repainted by Spice paints (absolutely mint job would highly recommend!!) and replaced the old cracked brake light with a new unit :).. almost £40 later! thanks renault!

off with the old..
