Greigzy:
So, bit of sh*t evening on Friday, but thankfully rectified now.
When I bought the car, I noticed a wee bit of wheel wobble at 70 miles an hour, put this down to wheels needing balanced and thought nothing more. On Friday night, I was off to see a pal in Huntly, so filled up and thought I would check the tyre pressures - fronts down at 1.5 Bar . Filled them up and went on my way, but something didnt feel right at all. Drove like a Granny to see my pal Kris in Banchory, to be greeted with this:
Holy sh*t! With the right pressure in them, it made the deformity really bad and probably why such a low pressure was in them! Managed to pick up a pair of cheap but high tread tyres from a pal, so fitted them today and put the Pilot Sport 3's from the back onto the front - good news is that they look pretty new too. The rears will get replaced when I am back from India next month.
Managed to give it a quick wash too, and took some snaps. The photos make the paint look better than it is.
Greigzy:
Nothing much to update.
1.The interior is in lots of bits away for carbon work.
2. Got a chip in the windscreen sorted
3. Got my plates on. Ends up it has a US front grill which is cool.
Strangely, my Dad was offered this car in early 2015 as a p/x for his A3 3.2 Sline. Going by the details Dad has, it also has a stage 1 remap.
My pal Andrew kindly took some photos took which came out really well.

Very good looking car. Great pictures :happy2:
JGTTDI:
Looks great Greg, it was my younger brothers Clio 182 you bought.
When he had his Clio I had a 172 Cup but sold that on and back in a MK5 myself.
Looking forward to the updates.
Cheers J

Great looking car Greg. Ive been looking at the Eibach Spring/Bilstein Damper combo - looks like they go a tad lower than I expected :happy2:
