Daily MK2 180
 

I've always wanted a 180 for years but between 1 thing and another I've never got around to getting one, after randomly selling my daily ZR td last week I needed another work wagon.
Looked at a few 320 & 330d Msports but something wasn't right, this popped up on a local forum (only mk2 I've seen forsale in ages, 180s are kina rare over here) so I decided a viewing was necessary.

Onto the car.
2004 180 saloon in pearl black
93k miles with full service history
Belts etc all changed
Usual 180 spec
2 boot spoilers
Window deflectors
Hand free Bluetooth kit
Full stainless exhaust from the cat back
Decat pipe (not fitted)
Power flex engine steady mount bushes (top & bottom)
Gearbox rebuilt using steel cage bearings
Sheddist clutch kit
Sheddist bumper sag kit
Cold air induction kit with a cone filter fitted to the inner wing

Plans:
Lower it slightly
Light tint all around
Fit decat pipe
Enjoy it :-)

1.5 hour drive home and enjoyed every min of it lol.

Good weather today was a good excuse to clean it lol

Quick run around with Poorboys Blackhole and waxed with Autoglym HD wax.

Contemplating on weather or not to lower it. After getting out of a lowered hard as f**k ZR I'm enjoying the comfort lol

Looking good!
I am wondering wether to lower mine or not but my lowered and braced ZR just wants to bump me around and like you the zs just wafts along!

Nice looking car.

Great looking car, came up well with the polish.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looking very nice, a PB always looks fantastic!
Regarding lowering I have always found the ride to be easy enough to live with when lowering on motobuild springs, keep your old springs as a fall back just incase but I think you should be fine and am positive it won't be anywhere as harsh as a slammed ZR:)

Looking fantastic mate :)

Nice car - reminds me of mine.

I was goimg to lower my mk1 but as it handled well at normal height so I didn't.

It's my twin too!

Twice!

Cheers for the comments folks.

Very nice, best colour too :D

I'm sure that's my old car!

It looks like it from the back box...

Looks similar John.

Must hoke the tax book and check who the previous owner was lol

Well blow me away! Who'd have thought it lol

Receipt I found in the glove box (from Euro sport exhausts)

Pm coming your way mate.

That's awesome, back in the hands of a fellow member :)

Yeah I kept all the paper work! Should have a few service stamps from JB motors too. So glad it's still looking good and is being looked after :-)

Last service in 2010 by JB Motors @80k
Car only has 93k on it at the min.
When did you sell up mate? And was it to a Ni man?

Yeah 80k sounds right. It hasn't been far since I sold it. Must have been gone nearly 2 years now... I think the guy who bought it said he wanted it for a run around for his mrs... He had a focus rs if I remember correctly.

You have pm too :-)

Again - like mine.

Never left a members hands ;)

nice car deckz,good to see it turned up back where she should be back in the forum

Small update thingy lol

Beautiful car to drive, should have bought one years ago!
Smooth engine, far better finished than my mk1 and mk2 ZRs and pulls like a train.

Nice car. Enjoy! Great to see the past owners on here too.

Good to hear it is back and in good hands.

Nice looking motor mate enjoy it
