Titanium MrBlonde

[MrBlonde]

As some of you may know already,i had an accident in my Cup & hit a barrier.In a nutshell,Raining very early cold morning on AD80rs (close to the limit) back end stepped out going up a banking corner.Still Drives fine tho,just wasnt worth me repairing,So decide on getting a 182 but in Silver.

So i found one and got up early on a Sat morning to head to south wales.

So this one is on 53k 2 owners & one of the very last ones & standard,previous owner also has a lovely Mars Red V6.

So plan is to get all the good bits off the cup & transfer onto the 182 then break or sell the cup as a whole car.

Couple of Photos of the Cups damage

Wouldn’t it of been better keeping the 182 stock been a late car and low mileage.

jeez, I got old.

sorry.

No idea why - but I actually prefer it on the standard anthracite wheels...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an 06 reg!

I dont like them Wheels,i still have the Pro 1.2s for summer tho 😁

 

[imprezaworks]

Very nice. Was never a fan of the silver but this looks spot on.

 

[MrBlonde]

Also to remove headlight washers & get a PMS Shifter.

Thanks mate,i love the silver.Will look so good in the summer all cleaned @imprezaworks

 

[Louis]

This looks lovely. Super fresh!

 

[Stay Puft]

Looks so weird on an 06 plate, but looks very tidy. Mental how much better they look on turinis

 

[Matthew]

Wheels have improved it massively. Silver on silver looks so much better than the standard wheels.

It does mate & its on B14 so can make it sit just right.I have a set of Pro 1.2s also buy considering just keeping the turinis on it.

 

[Matthew]

1000000% keep the turinis.

 

[leeds_182]

Just thought, these don’t bob up the tax bracket do they on an 06? I know the 05-06 scoob sti’s went from 280 to 500 for the tax for the same car.

 

[PP200t]

Car looks lovely. And total transformation just changing the wheels.
move never seen An 06 plate 182 before.

 

[Usr117063]

@leeds_182 Its the same, mine is an 06 but on a 55 plate, silver as well!

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks everyone for the positive comments,still just the start but it looks great already.Should be all done ready for CSF 😁

 

[Stefan.]

@MrBlonde the other avatar was cooler (in the carport/shed)

 

[MrBlonde]

Also going to change the Red Calipers to Silver.

 

[Darren61]

So fresh, always had a soft spot for titanium (used to own one which probably is the reason) despite how “common” the colour is.

Side profile with turini’s on is epic! Having it on an ‘06 also cool

 

[MrBlonde]

Been looking to get my Pros repainted for next summer,maybe in a nice grey.But then i also love the Silver on Silver with the Turinis.

Been thinking on these colours for example.

The Pro's on the old Cup in Gloss Black

 

[Martin.]

I've got Gloss black on my titanium. They look pretty decent to be fair. Not as good as white does though, in my opinion.

Never seen silver TDs on our colour car though so can't comment on them.

 

[MrBlonde]

Not to sure on white,but also tempted with Silver bit then i have that already with the Turinis.
Photo of your on Black Pros mate? @Martin.

 

[Martin.]

[MrBlonde]

Couple more upgrades.

Bought some new Shim Spacers as the old ones on the Cup were a bit crappy to remove.

Also a BMS Shifter with brass fitting.

 

[Clio182mike]

Nice to finally see the new car. Hope to see it about some time!

 

[BaileyWolves]

Sad to see the cup go mate was a lovely car but the 182 looks wicked as do all the cars you own. Let me know if you plan to break the cup as in need of a few bits , good luck with the new project 👍

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks Lads @BaileyWolves @Clio182mike will update soon as fitted rear spacers plus fitting the BMS shifter.

Yes will break the cup soon or try to sell as a whole

 

[Crybert]

That is a lovely looking thing. Makes me want another

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks mate @Cribert


I think i will keep the turinis on it and get them painted in a nice silver.
Not sure what to do on the Pro's,Paint a grey colour or silver

 

[BaileyWolves]

I been toying doing my turinis anthracite

 

[Martin.]

turinis need to be silver all day long

 

[MrBlonde]
