A couple of quick pics of the graphite o.z's fitted, theyre a little darker than i would have liked but i still love them.


Iv also got some graphite nut covers and yellow o.z racing rim decals on order, i know not everyone will like them but imo darker wheels go better with arctic/mondial blue...

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

I have added my graphite nut covers and my silver o.z racing decals today to match the centre caps, i did put some yellow stickers on but i didnt like them so ive gone more subtle...

I think they look pretty good now, although my shitty phone camera doesnt show it.

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Spacers ordered, should have them on in a couple of days.

With my rims being et37, and with the help from lawro, ive decided on 20mm for the fronts, and 5mm for the rears, so overall they will be 28mm spaced more than standard on the front, and 13mm spaced more than standard on the rear.

I didnt go any wider on the back due to hearing a lot of scrubbing issues.

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

A few pics of the spacers i have recently fitted, i had to take some crap pics mid wash as it was starting to get dark so i have no tyre shine etc, my phone camera is useless in the light never mind the dark lol.


I might have got away with 10mm on the rears, but i am happy with how it looks now, i do get slight rubbing on the front on 3/4 lock so i will probably add a bit of camber soon.


5mm rear spacers...

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

I have pm'd Andyrg today to ask about the turbo conversions he does.

I am very interested and i will update once i make the decision as to whether or not i am going to go ahead with it.

Im swaying more towards than away tho ;)

I am still awaiting my rear shims from dan@mad too, so ive no updated pics of these or the camber bolts fitted as of yet.

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Just got lost in this thread, the car is an actual dream mate. Credit to you and your attention to detail! Every link you've posted I've been close to buying but then I remember that I've only got my little 1.2 and I'm only doing little mods for a couple of years until I have the money for a 182 ;) maybe even push for a trophy!! But seriously, car is mint!

Cheers mate, its getting there now, hopefully it will have a little more power in the near future, although its not the do all and end all with these cars, they are so good overall imo.

Good luck with your future purchase mate?

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Camber bolts fitted today, i am really happy with the turn in now, i am still awaiting my rear shims.

Pics to follow when the shims are fitted and i have given it a clean.

I have been it contact with Andyrg again today and i have told him that i am going to have a think a bout the turbo conversion he does over the weekend and let him know early next week.

I just need to have a good think a bout things 1st :)

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

The other day i decided to remove my engine cover as i lost the metal clip for the oil fill part somehow.

Anyway, today i cleaned the engine bay properly for the 1st time in a few months, the pics are crap as always but it does look cleaner now.

Im not sure whether or not i prefer it with the cover on, but i wont be fitting it until i get a clip for the oil filler part anyway as it looks crap without that on...

The car needs a thorough clean inside and out but the weather is just not up to it yet.

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Decided to clean the interior today, carpets and seats cleaned and hoovered, leather treated, dash and interior trims treated, boot hoovered and a new magic tree.

Its spotless now apart from the stupid silver seatbelts!..

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Looks mint! I prefer cover off.

What's up with the seat belts? Someone been wiping their A on them?

I think i prefer it off too mate :)

FLOL, naah fortunately not :D Its there from when i prized a prozzy's bum cheeks open a lil' too wide with her thighs strapped up by the belts :D

They were like it when i got it mate, i have been too lazy to clean them tbh, they dont look as bad as that in person, ill eventually clean them.

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Fitted my 1.5 degrees negative rear shims today, if the weather holds up tomorrow, ill give the car a wash and get some piccys up.

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Still going boost?

I have had a serious think about it, and tbh i dont think i can afford it just right now, well i could but it wouldnt leave me with a lot of spare change, maybe in a couple of month ill be in a better position :(

I am due my 1st child on thur so i have decided not to be a selfish c**t, and put it off for a little while.
