The Pro races look cheaper imo and im not as keen on the style of the spokes. Smile They look good on some cars, but imo, dont suit the 182!

Suspension next anyway! Smile

Finally got some new pics of the small updates. NathJ painted a few bits and bobs. He also did the gear knob insert but i decided i wasnt keen on that and have swapped it back for a standard one. Smile

Decided to debadge the complete rear end, and replace the Clio badge with the pin holes, with the Renaultsport badge from the 197. I feel as if the old style 'Clio' badge gives the car a slightly more dated look. The steering wheel decal is on, ballsed up the airbag one though. Will get it sorted soon.


New Rear End.

Before

 


After
 


New Engine Bay Cover

Im aiming to sort the metals out next. Think they will either be polished, or sprayed a very light high power silver. Smile This will be the next update on the way, most likely next week.

Nice touches Dave. I'd like to get cracking on mine soon as well. Any performance modifications coming?

Not really, it costs far too much to squeeze extra bhp out of the Clio engine. If i did, id be looking at ITBs, which i cant afford! Lol

Suspension will get sorted though. Smile

We will have to organise a small 'Midland Old Boys' meet soon, Me, You, Jamie, Ross and those who have moved on from the 206 world. Cough not Jamie. Lol! Country lanes your way would be great!

Have decided to sell the Recaro's. They will be going on Saturday for the same price i paid. Theyre a bit annoying with the winding mechanism rather than the flip up/down mechanism in a normal hatch. Im also just not 100% on them, so i want to get rid and will spend a bit of the £500 on tarting the car up a bit more.

More updates coming in about a month. Smile

A bit will be going on my holiday, the rest on the car + other bits and bobs. Gambled my way out of my overdraft last weekend. Won £150 profit between Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Lost £10 of that on Arsenal today though.

Have bought a new gadget for the car aswell. Ill put a pic up in a sec. Smile

Cost £28 with the memory card and all posted. Good quality, going to have a play over the weekend. Bit cheaper than those cr*p GoPro ones. Razz Joking. Would love that, but my wallet loves this!
