Arctic 182 progress...

[MrTom]

Looks very nice

Cheers mate, its getting there

You've done such a great job on this mate. I will be looking for a 182 myself in a few months time

Go for it Chris, they are great little cars for the money, not as good looking as the 197s/200s but they are fun little cars.

Thanks again

So yesterday i decided to do a bit of painting.


Steering wheel insert gloss black with original decal added in white...





interior stips in gloss black with original air bag sticker in white added...





Gearknob insert sprayed gloss black with white numbers added...





interior before...





interior after, it looks a bit better imo as i hate chrome although its due a clean and sprucing up a little...





Ive also ordered an alloy foot rest, also sometime in the near future ill be getting my steering wheel refurbished by snappy on cliosport.net.


I have also sprayed the upper and lower grill as well as the fog surrounds gloss black, they were origionally satin black but i fancied a change...


Excuse all the bugs, the car needs a clean...





Thanks.

 

[MrTom]

I spent yesterday giving the 182 a thorough clean inside and out, this car is spotless for its age...


Interior...




















Exterior...
























































Sorry for all the pics, its hard to pick out my favourites with the poor quality of my camera phone, so i put them all up lol.

Just WOW!

This car is simply the finest 182 there is. It really is.

Everything about it is purely stunning!

I had the same Toyos on the front of my 182 (sad I know, but I LOVE the tyre tread pattern ), and they wore down in about 10k miles. I have different on the front now, but yesterday I had another two Toyos fitted on the back.

Your car is so fit, I'd shag it!
[NOTE: the above statement is a joke - I am NOT a meccaphile] LOL!

Hahaha cheers mike, the tyres seem pretty good tbh, they grip really well in the dry.

Im having trouble with photobucket at the moment, i think ive used all my space up or something :001_unsure:

Thanks again everyone for the kind comments they are much appreciated

Great looking motor :thumbup:

Gutting, can't see your photos as you have used all your bandwidth

 

[MrTom]

I had a brand new sparkling wind screen fitted today due to a stone chip and a crack i got the other day by a car flicking it up onto my screen.


Im glad in a way because the windscreen was badly scratched due to the previous owner not changing the wiper blades, it was also looking tired and old so in a way im glad as it makes the car look a lot fresher although im £75 down








Looking all new again

 

[Giles]

nice car mate!

 

[Stevoox]

Looking real good!

 

[MrTom]

Im dropping the car off at the bodyshop tomorrow morning for the front bumper and bonnet painting, i cant wait to pick up my stone chipless car on saturday

 

[MrTom]

Passed its mot 1st time a couple of weeks a go with no advisories...

 

[MrTom]

Hi all, i picked my renaultsport 182 up on friday after having the bonnet and bumper resprayed, heres some pics after a detail by myslef, im really happy with the results...
























































Thanks for looking.

 

[MrTom]

I havnt updated for a while, not much has changed apart from the alloys which ive had painted in graphite grey.

I have also added grey nut covers and silver o.z decals to match the centre caps, ill also be adding wheel spacers in the next few weeks to give it a nice wide stance.

 

[MrTom]

A few up to date pics, since the last update i havnt done much due to a new addition to the family, i have added brand new front rs grills, a new rear number plate lamp and 4 new uniroyal rainsport 3's.







































Thanks.

Cheers mate, everytime i sort something cosmetically i find something else to sort :@

I havnt had a problem mechanically in two years.

Are the spacers on yet? If not, the new wheel colour makes the car look nice and bulky! And what happened to the heko's?

This by far the best looking 182 on the planet.

There... I've said it.

Peace

Hi shubz, yes the spacers have been fitted a while, i have 20mm fronts and 5mm rears, the oz's rims i have on at the moment are et37, the standard 182 rims are et45, so all together with the spacers and wheels, the fronts are 28mm spaced and the rears are 13mm spaced.

I could have probably got away with 10mm spacers for the rears but they are pretty close to scrubbing with people in the back.

Thanks alot mate, its getting there now.
