Stealthy 182 Progress Thread...

[jack_kemp]

haha cheers buddy! i think thats true of all black cars tho! still if its anything im pretty sure i have some kind of car cleaning OCD.. cant stand having a dirty car..so it kind of works out

unless its like a land rover or something that begs to be covered in crap

I can't be arsed with it all tbh. Mostly because I don't really know what the feckin hell I'm doing when it comes to detailing.
Buying some shampoo, wash mitt and drying towel last week was a massive event for me. lol.

haha im a nutter with it il spend ages on detailing but if you cant be arsed tell you what mate basic one but it works.. wash it the way you usually do.. dry it all off and use zymol cleaner wax on it..you can buy it in halfords for like 10 quid..

the car will look like a mirror after and the paint feels like polished glass gets the thumbs up from me

may go back to my airbox.. isnt idling too well with the K&N when its cold (when its warm its fine!).. sounds a bit lumpy.. but it does sound absolutely sensational when driving!

when the weather improves im going to spend a day and make a little build - false floor, perspex over the amps, and build another enclosure for that sub but running the comps and the sub together is mint! sounds incredible!

got booked in today to head off to Ashley Exhausts this friday for full custom built decat back system want some good ol decat pops and burbles please!!

 

[nobblebonce]

looks smart mate

do you have a link where u got your fog lights and side lights from, also how easy is it to change to fog light bulbs, do you need to take anything of the car

 

[rob_sri]

nah mate dont have a link but jus have a quick search on ebay

easy to change.. jus replace standard bulbs and a 5 min job

 

[Nicky Thomas]

This is what I am attempting on my own - not had much progress at the moment though will be kicking it all off ready for the summer though. Shame mine is not a 182 though think they look mint standard I want to try making mine look a replica of one.

Awesome project keep up the good work!

 

[rob_sri]

they look smart standard yeah! im happy with the way things are going so far.. should be mint in a few months.. getting the wheels powdercoated is very much next on my list of things to do after the exhaust on friday..

il get vids up when thats done

 

[rob_sri]

carbon fibre front badge, smoked side repeaters

fog light surrounds, engine cover, bullets sprayed gloss black

HID full beams, Team Heko wind deflectors

John Ashley mani (decat) back exhaust is fitted.. fr1cking loud! may get it toned down a bit but pops and burbles nicely!

polished inlet to be finished up and going to paint part of it too.. will probably done monday along with the wheels.. should have some more photos of the above soon to prove im not lying haha!

 

[Jekyll]

nice car, im liking the progress man. i noticed you've sprayed your front upper grill. did you use spray cans to do this?

 

[rob_sri]

yeah man satin black.. seems to have worked well!

 

[Jekyll]

Cheers. I took mine off yesterday and gave it some satin black. Was a pig to get back in though without scratching the paint!!

 

[rob_sri]

Looks pretty good mate.

 

[Christopher]

Looks ok bar the hideous calliper colour. The messy install's not my thing either.

meh i like the calipers... install is messy in the photo yes.. but as i said.. that was temporary after i finished getting things wired in at about 930 and it was too dark to carry on..

 

[rob_sri]

more/better pics to follow later on..

 

[Cunney]

o hi!

 

[rob_sri]

hai!! haha

you may of seen this already on ccuk

some general pics and some pics of some of the carbon stuff

the inlets aint finished yet the top part is going black with polished renaultsport badge... waiting till payday to buy some more paint!!!

better pic of the carbon rear

 

[stevecope]

loving the clio mate, i'm also on ccuk copie_luvin_leanne, i sell all the vinyls

i'm getting a clio soon also, whats better in your opinion do you think mate?

 

[rob_sri]

ahhh more familiar faces

its a tough one.. i think the 1.8 was slightly easier to mod with the irmy/steiny stuff available..

but this is quicker and handles better from standard with more potential out the box..

i loved my corsa.. best thing going.. and i miss it... but im starting to enjoy this car loads, its so much fun! just putting my own personal touches to it and its growing on me every day

just ordered new style renaultsport badge, bonnet bra (for the long journeys), 40mm apex springs are on their way to make do until i can afford some coil overs

got my eye on a trophey spoiler too..

ebay is bad.

 

[rob_sri]

oh yeah steve.. i need a rear vinyl for this... want something small for the rear screen same sort of shape as the no fat chicks one i had on the corsa.. any suggestions?

 

[rob_sri]

40mm Apex on, still waiting for my other goodies in the post.. god damn bank holidays!

going to be getting another service and engine clean tomorrow..

cleaning throttle body, injectors filters plugs etc... oil is still really really clean since not long been done about 2 months ago but going to look at everything and see what can be cleaned/oiled/serviced

more pics to follow

 

[Wests Renault]

looking good so far - need tyre black though

 

[rob_sri]

Haha! I ran out!

But funny you say that as i've jus bought a bottle

Turtle wax wet & black ftw

 

[jacaustin]

where did you get your carbon fibre wrap mate?

 

[Tombola]

Hello mate car looks nice! I see you sprayed your grill. Did you do it with gloss black or semi-gloss? Im thinking of respraying my grill, rear insert etc. Cheers.

 

[LeCar]

i know the theme is stealth, but the wheels & headlight inserts would look awesome in cream / off white
