New 182 owner.....love it :)

[Chr15 86]

Hi guys

Just bought a 182 and absolutely loving it. First Clio I've owned, First Renault actually.

It was supposed to be stop gap whilst I was waiting for an insurance payout after someone ran into the back of me but after a week I'm completely smitten. Only thing I'm not sure on is whether to buy a cleaner one or sort the few issues with this one.

Quick question, is it worth becoming a paid member to access the parts for sale section? I.E is there many people selling used 182 parts in there ?

Cars currently got a Ktec exhaust system but was damaged at some point so now has one ktec tip and the other is a just a generic tip (looks pretty much the same so not a mess). It's also sitting on some Team Dynamic wheels which I can't decide if I like or not.

Definitely become a member mate, its an awesome forum, plus you can sell things, sell a fog light for example and within the hour you'll make your £12 back.

Welcome along to 'THEE' forum.

Hi mate. What wheels?

And yeah be the best £12 you will spend

Welcome.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I'd recommend signing up. The £12 will have paid for itself after the knowledge and information you'll find on here. Also there are lots of parts available in for sale sections.
One pounds per month.

And with regards to the Clio, I'd not sell up to find a cleaner example. Sort the niggles on yours out and make it your own

Thanks

Funny you mention a fog light, I need one, my drivers side is a little misty on the inside. Also want some lowering springs but ideally just a 20mm drop.

Will get signed up shortly.

Thanks for the welcome.

No idea what the wheels are called, will take a picture and post them if I can figure out how.

These are the wheels. Excuse the rusty disc, new set turned up today though

 

[imprezaworks]

Are they 17's?

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Pro Race 1.2's they are mate. Same wheels as mine. I'd keep them, nice and lightweight and look good on clios. What colour is the 182?

 

[Chr15 86]

Yeah 17's
I like them on the front just not sure on the rear..

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I'd be swapping to 16 or 15 first off mate

17"

 

[Chr15 86]

Car is black, here's a (not very good) pic. Black sun visor thing has been removed now

 

[Louis]

Looks good mate. Get the wheels refurbed/swapped out for some different ones and a cup spoiler and you'll be laughing.

 

[imprezaworks]

How's it ride on those wheels?

Fiver says if you bought 15 or 16 you would love the car more.

 

[Chr15 86]

Ideally I'd eventually like it to look like this :

 

[Stay Puft]

17 inch wheels?? Havent seen them before on a clio sport! Ive pm'd you about the fog light mate

17's are big

 

[imprezaworks]

Depends what your used too

Yeah huge

 

[Louis]

Haha, mines slowly looking like the one in the picture, but I dont want turinis. 2118's :hearteyes:

Doesn't seem too bad but I've never rode in one on 16" to compare. Certainly not awful or anything though.

What size are the standard wheels ?

 

[imprezaworks]

195/45/16

I run 205/45/16 because hero. Just prefer the slightly wider tyre.

Was thinking of getting them refurbed and painted in the grey colour like in the picture of the car I posted earlier, think that would look better?

 

[Louis]

The size may never look right mate. You might regret not selling them and going for 15's. Anthracite would look best on the wheels though.

Think the smallest I'd go is 16". There's already a huge gap (4/5cm) between front wheel and arch.

What's the thought on that "RS 182" sticker on the sill, fine or naff?

 

[Stay Puft]

Sticker is proper naff.. its a new trend from one of the clio FB pages. Get 16' turinis, and lower it if needed, boshh

 

[imprezaworks]

I like the sticker tbh

And a sheep too.

 

[Stay Puft]

I was first #trendsetter

 

[Chr15 86]

I quite like the sticker, adds a bit of colour to the side. If 5 people say it's naff it's going though 😂

I make stickers myself though so might get rid of that one and make a renaultsport one.

 

[Stay Puft]

Bloody hell, could start a printing company with all the employees on here!

Eh? Get a sheep ?

 

[Stay Puft]

Hahaha, best misinterpretation ever.
