Not much in terms of plans for it, already got full stainless exhaust system, ITG Panel filter and apparently been remapped, not too sure as there's no paperwork and idle is a bit lumpy....

Idea's so far are a set of Heko's, set of pressed plates and maybe tint rear windows....

Comments / Suggestions welcome ;)

Nice looking motor mate. (Y)

[darrensvtr]

Nice,had a 172 cup and loved it,look into a k tech carbon fibre front splitter,nice little touch.

[jeffchiz]

nice.. dont like the black wheels, sprayed back in silver would make it look more 'classy', or even better a set of good old turinis

[Gandi699]

I dont mind the 172 wheels in black/grey, I'd get a cup spoiler and remount the exhaust in a cut out in the bumper. Always looks good on a 172 that mod, wouldnt tint the windows though. Whats it like on the brakes/suspension front?

[Mike_08]

As said, with an exhaust of that size it'd look better recessed in the bumper with a 182 surround. Tinted windows would also look tacky (imo) but each to their own. :y:

[shell-vt]

looks ok when was the belts ect last changed. what exhaust is it thats fitted??

[Mike_08]

...also needs silvertecs.

[MickyWelsh172]

Wheel's were already done like that, pretty poor job too, painted straight over the balance weight, so when it got re-balanced, there's a git silver mark, lol.

Been looking at Turini's, hope i can get a swap lol

It has got the Cup spoiler mate.... And ive thought about getting the bumper done to fit the exhaust. Brakes are sharp as fuck compared to my old vtr, lol. But because its lowered you feel every little bump :(

Can you just openly get the 182 surrounds?? Thats what i wanted to do.

According to service book, belts were done at 61k, now on 89k. But the garage that done it havent even filled the book in properly ffs! Just a cheap exhaust system i reckon.

...also needs silvertecs.

Whats Silvertecs lol

[jeffchiz]

silvertecs are chome bulbs mate gets rid of the orange tint in in your lights from the orange bulbs

been looking at some 182 trophys and they all have the speedline turinis really would like a set but ive just bought some speedline chronos which im very happy with :)

[leeroybrown]

Dont forget the 182 trophy has a different offset to a 172.

So sticking the wheels on and lowering it you may come up with issues.

[saladdodger]

Really like these

[MickyWelsh172]

Think ill just keep the alloys the way they are till i can afford to get them done Anthracite professionally.

Also don't fancy paying £15 or whatnot for a set of bulbs lol...

its not a cup spoiler thats fitted..

[martin1985]

really nice car mate! i might get my self a 182 for my next car in a couple years time. there is a nice blue one in my street i keep saying to my self wish it was mine :(

[Whirly]

Think I've seen this on cliosport.net like said above a set of silvertec bulbs, how about a skoda splitter instead of a ktec one there only £12 and a cup spoiler would finish the back end off. A cut out for the zorst would neaten it up but nice car bud not bad miles too :-)

[MickyWelsh172]

Thanks Whirly, the guy i bought it off said it was a Cup spoiler? Looks similar to the Cup down the street too?

Skoda splitters on eBay are they?

[Mike_08]

Cup spoilers have a duck tail look with a different brake light they're also different to the Trophy and V6 ones. You can pick them up for about £100-150ish second hand but may need painting to match the iceberg silver.

The best looking splitter is a proper Cup splitter but they're not cheap and neither are the carbon ones from KTR (these also make you want more carbon and that gets expensive). The Skoda ones do the job and are nice and cheap (about £12 from Skoda) but they don't look as good as the Cup ones.

You can get the 182 surrounds off ebay. This is what I'll be doing when I get my quote back for my exhaust.

[MickyWelsh172]

Cheers Mike :)

No worries, like mike said above there are a few spoilers for clios, cup/v6/and the normal ones, can get the splitters direct from skoda i pay'd £12 for mine finished off the front end nicely :)

[MickyWelsh172]

No real updates to the car, other than getting the tyre's sorted for now. Found out it doesnt have a Powerflow system, just a s**tty bodge job by a lad on 106Moaners.

But anyway, needs the fan resistor heater module replacing/repairing, so set about getting that out, ready to send off.

Getting some wind deflector's and Pressed Plates for my birthday from the missus

Obviously, want a new exhaust system soon :)

[chris205]

I've got a heater resistor in good working order I can send you out for £20, let me know mate.

P.s plans sound good

[MickyWelsh172]

Are you breaking a Clio or just have this lying around?

[MickyWelsh172]

Mate of mine, Dave_C has just got himself a 182, thought we'd take a few photo's over the beach....

Definitely need my alloys respraying Anthracite!

[RickP]

Looking good! Got any more plans for it?

[MickyWelsh172]

Looking good! Got any more plans for it?

Got a new Ktec Stealth Catback system on the way, to replace the Magnex.

Needs a new back bumper as this one has a cut out where the old exhaust sat, the a fucking good service.

After that I'm gonna be getting it remapped on an RStuner :D

[MickyWelsh172]
