Questions on a 182 rep

[Clio 1.5 dci]

I have acquired the front wings and front bumper to install this weekend. Only issues are the wheel arches - would my standard DCI ones fit, or do I need to order the 182 ones because they're flared wings?

Second question - I have the xenon projector lamps but will use my own ballast and ignitor kit (not the one that comes pre-fitted). What size bulbs are they, presuming they are H7 that fit in the lamps?

You need the front wings/arches, front bumper, arch liners (front and rear)*, rear bumper and a replica exhaust to make a 182 replica.

I can't help with the bulbs though



*i didn't bother with the larger arch liners. I cut my front ones out to accommodate teh lowz to be honest.

I was initially going to consider a 182 but it's cheaper to do a 172 as I won't have to fork out £500 for the modified exhaust. I suspect the 172 has the same front setup as 182? I don't know if the 172 rear bumper is much different to the DCI, but I don't think it can be very expensive - unless that needs new rear arch liners too.

You cut out your old ones, did it sit correctly/safely?

They're the exact same parts bar the exhaust cut outs.

The rear bumper is wider than the standard one so requires larger arch liners.

But I just left my standard ones in, iirc there was around an inch worth of gap at the very bottom.

Yeah, it was fine. It was melting/rubbing on the wheel when turning so I chopped them out

Yep knuckles is spot on just remove the front arch liners n leave the std bk ones in no issues will come of it

Won't the headlight and other things be exposed if the front one is missing? I'm on the lookout for a pair on eBay but I won't get it in time for my EU trip which is concerning in case its wet etc.
