All Racing Blue 182's on the Forum...

[Adamm.]

Its a good colour for not looking too bad dirty too, I know this as it's been over 2 years now..

Mines not moved out of the garage for three weeks now. Really wanted to take it out this weekend with it being dry but didn't find the time with having to keep my 2yr old entertained. Managed to get 4 coats of EGP on it over the last week though following a thorough paint clean with SRP. Completely OTT but looks absolutely stunning. Resisting the temptation to to top it with a paste wax as it looks so good. Need to make my mind up whether to keep or sell.

KEEP! And get pics up of the OCD!:smile::up:

 

[scotty10]

My rb never shines like that

 

[imprezaworks]

Cleaning it weekly helps lol

 

[Djw John]

So glad I cleaned it....

Did 40 miles today

 

[mossyv6]

Had mine about a month and cleans up well:

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Looks lovely Mossy!!:smile::up:

Thanks mate, still a few bits to sort but it is a lovely motor and a perfect partner for the Trophy.

Not sure if to remove the stripes or not?

 

[imprezaworks]

Oooft paul, nice mate. I say remove, @RyG would probably disagree lol

 

[VR46-G@Z]

As they are factory fitted they are not as offensive as if they were aftermarket... I'm not really a fan of them but removing might leave you with bodywork of different shades which would irritate me big time....

Love RB's with stripes! Looks fantastic mate.

Ignore old @imprezaworks !


My stripes have seen better days. So I bought some new ones! Once it's a bit warmer I'll be removing these and fitting new ones.

(You can see on the bonnet a bit of peelage)

(Exhaust has since had new hangers FYI)

@fairm010 fitting my splitter for me! Much love

 

[Jekyll]

@RyG Fitting a splitter is probably one of the easiest things you can do!

That's just laziness!

 

[Jekyll]

@Djw John Desperately needs spacers or wider offset wheels. They look really sunk in on that pic.

 

[Inequality Street]

Ryan, fitting a splitter is probably one of the easiest things you can do!

That's just laziness!

Drove to Windsor for it too 😂

 

[Jekyll]

Mate, you NEED to get tooling on your car!

Unless it's a big job, it's all pretty easy, even for beginners. Get stuck in!

Probably cost you more in fuel than what the splitter costs! Lol

 

[Jekyll]

Plate looks good though. Nice to see you keeping the stripes too. Don't see many with them on nowadays.

I will do soon mate haha. I was collecting the alloys in the pic too, so whilst there and as Matt offered 😂

Garage will be done this year, so I will have no excuse!

 

[Jekyll]

OK, I'll forgive you

There's always help if you need it and as you know, many of us are fairly local. It's nice to call on people but it does feel good when you accomplish something yourself.

Even if it is fitting a fabia splitter

@Djw John Desperately needs spacers or wider offset wheels. They look really sunk in on that pic.

They're extremely temporary!

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, they do look w**k!

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Have you guys noticed how Ford executives have been spying on this thread for inspiration for the new Focus RS launch...? The racing blue RS does look awesome and even has black rims, I'm in to old school cars more but I have a lot of want for that RB Focus RS...!

 

[CollieLaa]

My RB I've just purchased today. Can't stop staring at it haha

 

[imprezaworks]

Very nice. Welcome to the number one club

 

[CollieLaa]

Very nice. Welcome to the number one club

Thankyou!

 

[Jekyll]

Very nice. Welcome to the number one club

Doesn't look like a ph1 too me

 

[Dan.AS]

That's a beauty that.

 

[Jekyll]

 

[yeecup]

Saw this on Facebook, good to see your back in a Clio. Looks very nice

 

[Mr R.]

Looks good mate.

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks chaps.

Bloody clio's and there hold on you eh?!

 

[Mr R.]

Thanks chaps.

Bloody clio's and there hold on you eh?!

Pretty sure i wont have another one...:fearscream:

 

[Rubicon_]

Look forward to see what you'll do with this Mark :smiley:

 

[CollieLaa]

Gave it a bath today but the rain hit shortly after!

 

[KitsonRis]

And I am quoting now: "Doesn't look like a ph1 too me" 😂

RB is the only colour Ph2 I would have (ignoring the daily I have but that's not a sport!). When the Ph1 is "finished" I will be getting an RB daily.

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, yeah you busted me there Kit!

I've always said RB is the best 182 colour and always wanted one. Was going to tag you in the exhaust hanger thread, but you've seen now!

The bodywork is fantastic on this one for its age.

You also aren't having the suspension back, that is staying on mine!! haha.
Glad you are happy with it, presume there are plans for it?

 

[Jekyll]

It's quite tricked out for fast road atm anyway buddy, so not sure what's happening with it. Just nice to be back in a Clio again.

I'll be doing a project thread on it, but want to clean it first. Anyways, the BC's won't fit due to hub spacing. You still happy with them?
