From what I have read on this forum, the cup pack is better, but only by a touch. For £200, it aint gonna be that good when you consider they charge £300 for bloody Supaguard!

I presume your local Renault dealer wont be able to fit these. I will try and see if I can find a good independent in the Gloucestershire area and see if they can give me a quote. Thanks Michael. ;)

I didnt order it from the factory because my dealer said that it could be done when it arrived if I wanted it, and then when it arrived he told me it could only be done at the factory! Does anyone know if this can now be done, and should my local dealer be able to do it?

How much do you reckon that would cost? Cheers.

No, thats fing horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and the power steering is better as well (I find mine a bit light at higher speeds).

I have today driven a Peugeot GTI 180 and I have to say I was quite impressed. I found the handling much flatter through the corners than my 182, and the engine noise more urgent and sporty as well. I dont think the pick up is quite as good, but its only marginal. The interior is not quite as...

After my order was placed for my 182 (when they were nice as pie), my dealer could not give a toss about me, and that was before the car had even been delivered! After having a few problems since, I was going to complain to the Manager, but after reading all the posts here so far I think I...

Tom, when you say faulty alarm, in what respect. Also how did you find out that your engine cover that was rattling? I have noticed a slight rattling sound (which I dont think was there when I picked it up), which is only evident under acceleration. Was yours the same?

Yeah, I have seen them at my dealers, but I personnally just think the silver looks better on my colour (arctic blue) than the grey. The thing is, my dealer was about as useful as a p**n mag in a monestry during my purchase, so I bagged a Supaguard cover out of him. As I have not yet had this...

Is it possible to have the 182 Cup suspension fitted without having to have the anthracite wheels and stiffer tyres? If possible, I am gonna see how much my dealer will charge to do the work.

I think the stripes would look at little odd on the other colours, but on yours it seems to really suit it.

I think I will have a go in the dealers 182 which has the cup pack on it and see what I think. Otherwise, I might investigate into these eibachs and see how much I can get em fitted for (if I can find a good independent in Gloucestershire). Thanks guys.

Thanks for that. Will it shake your teeth out if you go over a pothole, or do they still keep the ride quite smooth?

Any suggestions (and cost)?
