Arctic 182 progress...

Personally, I've never liked the look of the 182 wheels - they look too similar to standard-model Clio 2 wheels imo :smile: so I'd say stick with the OZs which look great on your car, or get some 172 cup wheels?

I was thinking this mate, the turinis are a nice wheel and they are oem renault :thumbup1:

Keep the OZ and do them a wild colour :smile:

I was going to do them a wild colour, but i think im going for the oem++ look :smile:
 
I decided to restore my headlights again today, i started off with 600 grade paper, then 1200 and finished with 2500, i then polished them up with the d/a and i am really pleased with the outcome, i havnt got any before pics sorry..

I think the turinis would really suit it :thumbsup:

Good work on the headlights, they've come up really well. Gorgeous car you have there :001_tt1:
 
So i decided to fit my vibra technic mounts when i got home from work this morning after a night shift, i still havnt been to bed lol, i forgot to take one of the gearbox mount, but im sure we all know what a mount looks like lol....

First impressions are brilliant, the car feels so much more solid and tight, im over the moon, theres a little more vibration on tick over but thats the only downfall, although i quite like it, it tickles my balls.

I got home earlier this morning and the post man had left me these, im still waiting on my dash strips tho..

I have just ordered a gear gaiter with silver stitching, after payday i am going to contact snappy for a wheel refurb with silver stitching etc, im keeping it smart and simple.
 
I decided to fit my new gear gaiter today with white stitching, it will look nice when i eventually get a steering wheel re trim..

Booked myself in at the body shop Monday for a full rear bumper respray as its not in as good a condition as the rest of the car.

I cant wait tbh as its been bugging me for ages.
 
I finally got round to replacing my rusty old arch screws for new black ones, i will be replacing the ones in the rear arches tomorrow too when i pick up my freshly painted bumper :smile: ..

Nice little (OCD) touch with the arch screws there :smile: great attention to details, such a good looking car.

Did you make a decision on the wheels in the end?

Yes its the small things that make the difference :smile:

Im still unsure on the wheels as of yet mate, i might keep these but buy some standard 182 wheels and get them refurbished so i can put them on when i go to meets etc for the oem look :smile:
 
So i picked up my bumper and fitted it yesterday after having it resprayed, heres a few pics of the car and the bumper i took this afternoon, im over the moon the exterior now apart from maybe some standard mint 182 wheels...
