Saw my mate earlier today and hes done a few nice changes to an already great car as standard.
He has had the car about a year and a half, it was totally standard with both cup packs when he bought it.
While he was at mine i took some pictures. Hes just fitted a Whiteline RARB which has made a good improvement on handleing along with a small drop over standard.
Other modifications are remapped ECU, full exhaust system, uprated airfilter and improved brakes. Not forgetting the wider, lower offset 7x16 inch 172 wheels with sticky rubber.
Comments welcome, good or bad

Cheers. they were powder coated and he wasnt keen when he first got them back but have grown on him. Imo they look better in the flesh.
I think he will be doing a few track days next year so will be good to see how it goes!

Turinis look amazing on cliosports. I had them on my old black 182 and it looked much better than the standard ones.

He went for the normal 182 because of the creature comforts and it was low milage example for the right price!

The wheel colour is different but it works, I like them. Test drove one of these once and was amazed at the handling.
