Will's simple 182 FF :)

[Will_bmx]

Hi all!
Going to keep this short and sweet, bought this car on the 22/6/13, its a 182 FF with only 67k on the clock, FSH and is a lovely example that was owned by cookie_monster on here before me. Only downsides were it had lexus rear lights and no front splitter, it also has colour coded rear bumper strip and fog surrounds which I wasn't a fan of until I fitted the correct lights (courtesy of a very kind forum member) and a skoda splitter, quite like it now! Anyway, here are a few pics of her now, I have fitted the rear lights, front splitter and I've just fitted some simple stickers to make it a bit more mine, these are inspired from the splitter on the classic maxi 5 turbo rally car Anway, hope you like it, I do! Not sure about lowering or anything else as it handles so so well and I'm sick of slammed cars! (MX5 on it's belly and an MR2 turbo lower than I've seen before).

Any feedback welcome as some individual ideas would be nice!
Cheers,

Will

Looking goood Not a fan of the Elf sticker, but the one on the splitter is quite nice actually. Just noticed the fogs are blue too, Niiiice

Big fan of the blue fogs.

Stickers are for heroes.

 

[Will_bmx]

Not many people seem to like the elf ones but I personally like them (hence they're on there ). Toying with going black on the standard wheels to finish it off... hmm

 

[banther]

Black looks gash. Stick with Anthracite / Cosmo Grey.

​Or new wheels?? Maybe go for some 15's? 2118s etc.

 

[Will_bmx]

quick photoshop (or paint.net!) of the black...
I did think 15's in white, it excited me a lot but it's a more expensive option!

 

[banther]

Well if you factor in cost of refurb doesnt work out too bad.

£250 should have you a new set.

 

[Will_bmx]

True but I can have them plastidipped for £95 black...

Naww lol.

Car looks lovely mate, not a huge fan of the stickers but I'm just fussy. Keep up the good work. fogs look good, didn't notice them before

 

[Will_bmx]

Cheers for the lights made such a difference!! Stickers are a love or hate thing, only a couple and I think it's just right, maybe some bmx ones in the rear window
The fogs have grown on me, hated them to start with!!

 

[banther]

YOu know plastidipping isnt permanent?

Also, f**k paying £95 - easy enough to do yourself.

 

[Will_bmx]

I do know this, which is why it's tempted me, incase I don't like it.
Also I'm lazy so cba to do it myself when it'd cost a fair bit just for the materials asfaik.
Might just stay Anthracite though tbf as with the splitter, lights and stickers I'm already proper happy with it.
Adamm.'s black wheels looked awesome with a gloss coat though...

 

[Will_bmx]

Lovely shot up Cannock Chase...

How can people tell the fogs are blue from those pics lol?!
I wouldn't do the wheels black. As proved by your photoshop it just makes the tyres look ugly and dirty

Pretty simple

 

[Will_bmx]

Pretty simple

Sorry but that made me laugh I know what James28 meant but LOL
They mean the surrounds not the lights themselves, just in case you were still wondering. :rasp:

 

[banther]

I was being pedantic.

200bhp. Thats £££'s in a clio. Not cheap.

 

[Mr Burns]

Looking good, Will. All those French car jokes and now the tables have turned lol. We'll have to get some SLR pics of it

 

[Will_bmx]

Cheers Stevie! Dude, have you seriously got 6000 posts?! Le f**k haha. Some slr pics would be awesome! Ps it looks like we swapped cars!

 

[Will_bmx]

Right then, thinking of what to do next. Can I have some second opinions on clearing it up completely, so debadging the back, colour coding the bullet and dropping the car?

Now

Photoshop of idea

Ultimately I know it's my choice but some secondary input would be appreciated.

Further plans would be different wheels, potentially 15's tbh and things to make it more comfortable in the cockpit, so smaller wheel, potentially a bucket seat w/harness and the usual touches like the dogbone mount etc to tighten it up.

Cheers!

Removing the stickers would be a good start..

I'm in this camp.

 

[Will_bmx]

BMX ones in the rear window are already gone anyway. Michelin ones on the splitter are staying, I'm 50/50 on the elf ones after I do the other bits. People seem to hate stickers on this place, a couples not gona hurt anyone

 

[Mr Burns]

I think they look way better on 15's, and they're meant to drive better too. Apparently.

Yeah I think so too tbh! As much as white wheels are a pain to keep clean they look ace on Arctic blue so that might be a route... Renault, sport and elf rear window sticker are now removed
