If they are Storm's then they'll have a stamp on the back saying 'Storm' possibly with the Renault logo stamped above it. Definitely say Storm on the inside though as I have a set in the garage.

The best 5 door was Cro-Clio's full 182, but its been broken now, his project thread is still on here though

The price depends on how easily and where abouts you get the parts from. I had a bump in my dci and I've got the full sport kit, set of OZ super T's and some other bits all for half what my excess is.

Sorry haven't been on for a few days, I bolted it in 5 places at the bottom too, however the clips in the car mean that its held at both the top and the bottom, yours will be solid but there is also the chance that it could be pulled away at the top if some force was applied.

I don't think a guide would be particularly helpful, as it is literally a piece of aluminium used to bridge the gap between the non sport liner and the bumper, it does however seem to of given the plastic greater rigidity which is useful. If any one is interested in a pic I can try and get one.

Me and the old man, made the non sport ones fit with a bit of sheet aluminium, not the tidiest or easiest job but works a treat for me.

I dont know if you've done it yet but id use some form of clip as it holds the top tight to the car, you dont want someone to get out the car slip with the foot and rip the thing off. When we did mine we didnt have the proper clips so went and got some spire clips, marked where theyd need to...

When I replaced mine the other week, it was dead simple as the other guys have said, 2 torx screws at the top of the bumper, just underneath the lip of the boot opening (may be partially obscured by the rubber seal. Then there are 2 screw holding each sides arch liner in. Once the arch liners...

I'm pretty sure the late ones came with it! I've been looking for a 172 for myself at the min; while looking I've seen some '53 plates with it. Again I guess it depends on how long the dealer had the car in group stock.

Yeah I would of expected a biggg discount. Would be a good deal if you originally wanted a bogo 182 as there isn't a great deal of difference surely?? If he'd of wanted Cup packs then I imagine it would of maybe taken more selling power.

So many on ebay say the word 'cup' anyway I didn't take any notice, until you said about your database saying it was a 172 cup.

Just noticed that it has no aspects of being a cup too. :s

It just seemed a little suspect, I've heard of a few '04 plates and thought that they were late, especially when you think 197's weren't far behind this plate.. Cambelt would definitely need changing early, unless Renault had the wisdom to change it before sale.

Surely this cant be right?? Must have be a crashed and wrongly repaired 182 right? Or would it have just sat un-registered on a forecourt for 2(ish) years? :S...

114BTi is a good head unit, loads of functions and abilities. Depends on the price that you can get either for, which would make your decision for you! I have the 114BTi in my clio got it for a mint price, and I have it connected up with the connects 2 adaptor so the steering wheel control works.
