That side profile..Actually love this thing. LOVE.

Very kind, Tom :smile:

CSL comparison. Just noticed the genuine CSL has no headlight washers. Sacrilege!

Silver kidney surrounds too, you know it makes sense!

I bought the outer surrounds and colour coded them. I still have the bling bling chrome jobbies at home. They were far too in-yaaar-face. Ali prefers the chrome, too.

I need an E46 M3. I keep debating whether to do it or not, I just need to. Don't think the wife will go for it though, in fact I know she won't and that judt makes me want one more!

Looks fantastic!

Looked great when I passed you on Saturday.

Cheers Ben. When I sell the Megane I am so tempted to get another RB182. Trivial thing, but the smaller plate on the front really sets yours off as well

Do it. Brilliant cars, don't want to change mine until it dies.

Only noticed that just now. Get the standard ones back on. Immediately.

No chance. Was one of the first things I did. Hate chrome.

They really are. For the money, they are incredible. Look great, go well, decent mpg return and running costs aren't too bad either.

I'm just put off by the potential costs of vanos, subframe, smg and paying for dealer servicing. But in all honesty the biggest issue is wife approval! She's not a car person

2 of those issues are easily avoided.

You need caps on your strut brace pal. They're only £2 each. You need ten...

ForceIndia · Mar 24, 2015

How are you finding the brakes @Scutch?

Sam@NP · Mar 24, 2015

Let's be honest, it missed the running in service, the boot floor has fallen off, the rear springs are snapped, the head gasket has gone and the VANOS is buggered. 2/10 wouldn't own...Might as well tie it to a lamp post, it's such a dog.

Power it flinstones style through the boot?

Wow. Timeless.

You've done a seriously good job of that Scutchio.

Very very nice!

You know my thoughts on this Neil. How you getting on with Airbox! I have been close to buying an M3 over last few months, but I've fallen back and truelly in love with my Clio, so that's staying for another 6 months, minimum.

*Badger* · Apr 9, 2015

Makes me miss mine. Cracking motor.

Really nice recent upgrades.

Scutch · May 2, 2015

Few snaps with the CSL diffuser fitted. Still needs adjusted ever so slightly, as I'm very fussy. Then I'll decide whether it stays or not (this is the 3rd one I've bought but this one has stayed on longer than a day!)
