Lowered it would be spot on!

 

[Andy]

I'm sorry. I just never understood why you'd want a car to look like something it's no and never will be.

Exercise in futility if you ask me.

Imagine your 17 and just passed your test. Can't afford insurance on a 182 but can on a 1.2....

 

[Dafthead]

Then I'd get a 1.2 and save up for a 182/197 in a few years

 

[Dan Page]

I would have made my 1.2 look like that when i had it if the parts come up cheap enough.

 

[Middo]

looks like a nice car, for someone planning to do a rep would save them a lot of money in the long run

 

[heathbrowning]

Looks good but needs lowered a little. Nothing wrong with making it look like a 182 if you ask me. Not everyone can afford a real one and if your young the insurance will be through the roof. Can you imagine a 17 year old saving up for a few years? They want things yeserday!

 

[Englebert]

Personally think reps are fine as long as you don't have 2.0 badges.

As said, people forget about insurance, and what young petrol head wants to save for a 182 for a few years?! That would feel like a lifetime.

Good point. Leave the 2.0 badges OFF! Im after 172 bumpers myself. Not because I want mine to look like a 172 but because I think the car car looks much better with them :approve:

if all mods declared, would increase insurance a lot - maybe £3-400 pa or even uninsurable

I only pay £350, BUT I pay £60 extra p.a. and have had 250 put on my excess for wheels and lowered sus only

Re-map not declared - another £100 advised when i asked

 

[al]

They'd never be able to trace a remap anyway

 

[Neil G]

Rip off for something that isn't the real deal

 

[Ross M]

wow ive seen that about and never realised it was a 1.2

im sure iv posted a spotted thread about it before.

 

[JD]

^^^ thats what i think, i know insurance is the deal here (im only 20teen myself) but you can get a nice ff or cup for that!!!

jamie

 

[Has]

Seen that one before.

Yup insurance seems ot be a deciding factor for most....

It worked out ok for me at the start, 1.2 with a few mods.
NOW its cheaper for me to insure a 172/182 then it is a 1.2 with mods.

Time to move on then

 

[Da]

^^ exactamundo Has

 

[KDF]

Putting the RENAULT sport badge on the back is the final insult..

Fog lights on aswell.. suprised ? no..

 

[JD]

^^^lol

Has . . . . 197 uh huh cough splutter

jamie

 

[Andi-B]

For it to be spot on it would need the original wheels and an original exhaust as the modded one on that is a little too big to be a standard one.

Good revamp though. Although I still wouldn't have it.
All these fakes pffft, nothing like the real thing tbh

 

[Chili Red]

Looks great. Is it me or is the spoiler not a Cup one?

It's just a shame it doesn't have the performance - it'll be wasted by chavs at the lights who'll think they've handed a 182 its arse
