I bought one of those shifters for my Renault 5 GT Turbo - had to shave a few mm off the alloy bushing to be able to get the circlip properly relocated in the housing.
Two great cars there - my first car was a 1991 8v in Oak Green metallic and I followed that with a 172 Cup.
Good luck with the ARB bushes that can be a fun job ;)
Sell it on eBay so you don't have to bother with test drives :) I got a good price for my 172 cup doing this and the bloke just turned up, paid, and drove off.....
My current 182 is on just over 80k, my previous 172 Cup was on about 75k when I sold it. Engines still tight on both but suspension or engine mount wear might be evident, all relatively cheap to fix though and you've already stated you will lower suspension.
Watch out for 182s still on...
You could argue with Renault that the courtesy car should be like for like, see what they say?
In truth they've probably covered themselves in the terms of their warranty against doing that but why not try it? Explain that this experience could switch you off from the RenaultSport brand.
