#1: rttam's winter driver Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 7:42 am ---- not too keen on driving my 180 in the ice and floods this winter. used to have a 206 auto as a daily but this died last winter so have been looking out for a cheap runaround and i managed to aquire this which iv done a bit to and should be ideal over the bad weather
thoughts? there will be haters but its just a cheap runaround so im not overly fussed tbh just wanted to give it a bit of street cred
have since dewiperd and debadged the bootlid but not got any pics yet

I bought it for my gf but its much better on fuel than my cc and im not afraid to use it when its icy. I bought it off a friend for £100 because it wouldnt start, new battery and a few bits and bobs from the scrappy and its as good as new HAHA!!
Yours looks a lot cleaner though. I did start t-cutting hers but i got bored after one door, so it looks like a different white to the rest of the car.

Dewipering a 'winter car' is a step backwards though.
Are the 16v wheel centres alloy or plastic?

#8: Re: rttam's winter driver Author: johnboy1989, Location: South walesPosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:21 am ---- Ive always loved them i want 1 just like that like you said for the crap weather and i would have 1 of them any day

i live in the countryside and the roads are quite often badly flooded coupling that with the k&n typhoon behind the foglight is a bad idea
plus the idea of all the salt and grit over it worries me im very ocd when it comes to the 180 lol
i do agree about the safety bit tho i was scared to hell driving it on the dual carraigeway to start with lol got used to it now loving the fuel consumption too

yeah cant wait to try the plough haha
probably not a good idea but i was bored so de-wipered it lol
yeah they are alumnium always worried when i had the alloys on my old van if one flew off it would kill someone haha i check there secure regularly though!
