You see different styles about because many arent original Renault competition stripes. There is a racing blue 182 for sell locally with stripes but the garage also has black and silver 182s with stripes, they seem to add them on when they get them in. Someone can correct me if Im wrong but I...

Follow the lines carefully and they do match. Admittedly in that shot at first glance it does look off, but run your finger down the lines along the curvature of the glass and they sit nicely.

Even if it is quicker just smile and enjoy the fact that his few tenths of a second cost him about £8k!

Its all press talk though, lazy journo sees previous progression (172, 182) and names it the 192. Nothing from Renault officially. Surely the 172/182 is something very special anyway? It destroys anything in its class and more often than not is compared with the next stage up. Been about for...

Not sure about that, my Dynamique took about 9 weeks I think on a 6 week delivery estimate. I assume Renault are making a tidy profit considering all their cars are made to order..?

Sky appears to be blown out in all of them so from a technical point of view its hard to honestly decide. Easier to get a nice shot of a car when its slightly overcast or close up at that time of the evening (see the nice new 182 pictures posted here this evening).

I seen loads of these on a recent holiday, think it may have been Tunisia. Horrific looking cars, the 206 is the only small car that can pull something like that off. If you think that photo is bad they look even worse from a front angle!

Ah right thats interesting. I didnt realise I could pay off the outstanding balance completely. Thats around £5k at the moment so as long as I could make that back on it Im in good health, looking at Auto Trader £5k should be achievable.

Has anyone had any experience of handing their car back once theyve paid for half of it? Im just under the half payment threshold so in a month or two I will have paid the minimum amount to hand it back. No probs there but problem is Ive done 20,000 miles and thats exactly 3 months before Ive...

I had a similar prob when I picked mine up, bought it on Easter Saturday 2003, was told it would be ready to collect in 4 weeks, 4 weeks came so I called them, they told me they would get back to me, no return call so I phoned again a few days later, again no reply. I phone again (5 weeks now)...

Renaultsports are pretty rare around these parts it seems. I spotted a Racing Blue 182 with stripes in Bournemouth last summer, that was the first and last 182 Ive spotted on the road in over 8 months until this weekend when all sorts appeared, 172s arent even that common but a few have appeared...

Arent the Extremes £6,995 brand new? They are at my local Renault dealer, and they are generally expensive as hell.

I had the pleasure of following a V6 yesterday for a couple of miles. People literally stop walking and just look at it in amazement! I couldnt believe it, even people who you wouldnt expect to be remotely interested in cars were just watching it go by. Must be an odd feeling in the drivers...

Its seeing threads like these when I wonder why our local (Castle Combe) championship has no Clios running in it. Plenty of 205s as is to be expected, then an Impreza, Focus RS, A4, Mini Cooper S, Civic Type R, Astras, Corsas etc etc etc, but no Clio of any description. Considering the...

Whats the deal with these anyway? I followed one for a couple of miles yesterday, 54 plate which just sits on the forecourt all the bloody time. The Renault Dealership doesnt advertise it in its weekly adverts and they dont have a price on it, its been there since late November.

You missed the camera on the Batheaston by-pass?! Admittedly its nothing but a cash-generator (I believe there were exactly 0 accidents when it was installed), but its so damn obvious people who get caught deserve it for having no observation skills. Its one of the most strictly controlled roads...

Ive had my Dynamique 2 years now and have hugely enjoyed it, compared to my first car (1996 Clio RN) its a fair bit quicker and much better round corners, anyway, I was wondering how people were getting on with the handling? Ive heard a few adverse comments recently about the handling and to...

Extreme is a stripped down Dynamique, misses the following as standard... Glass Sunroof Heat Reflecting Windscreen Rain Sensitive Auto Wipers Auto Headlights Front Lateral Airbags 60/40 Rear Seats Adjustable Headrests Temperature Gauge CD Player 2 extra Speakers Air Recycling Also...

Ive got Pearl Black and wash it with nothing but water, wasnt expecting much at first but it looks great. Just wash/dry one section at a time (top, front, left, right, back), only takes 20 minutes so I usually end up doing the other halfs ZR as well. Ive had mine 2 years and never...

£5,160 deposit for the 182 on 0%, not sure you missed that one! I found dealers pretty flexible though, I got my Clio on 0% but could put down as much as I liked over the minimum, and the monthly payments can be adjusted by changing your mileage "allowance". But yes, a loan (plenty around at...

Thats why I was wondering about the small print, Im guessing you get hammered if you go over the agreed mileage and Id be suprised if other constraints arent in place.

Cant blame them at all, they seem to shift RS Clios quite quickly, too much money round these parts I think! Frustrating when you would like the convenience of buying locally though, especially when identical cars go for a few grand less elsewhere in the country. If they sell second hand cars...

Thats the one thanks. Looks a lot greener in reality though in my opinion, stunning all the same.

Thanks for clearing that up. Even they exceeded my expectations today, still in shock from the second hand 182 on 3k at £13,995, they actually beat that (which according to Auto Trader was the most expensive in the country), they now have an ex-demo 182 for £14,495!

Further to my recent question about the Renault site saying that new Dynamiques/Extremes having Cup Spoiler and god knows what else, the "most expensive Renault dealership in the world" (my local) insists this is the new Extreme and wont budge...

Do you have the Acid Yellow in those pictures or whatever it is Day172? The only photos Ive seen of it look nothing like the actual 54reg V6 I pass every day (thats just sat there, been doing nothing for 3 months)

When I come close to my 3yr final payment on my Clio (not far off), can I go to a completely different Renault dealer and sort out whatever I decide to do (probably part-ex, but may pay the final payment)? Its a franchise here and although I know the finance is actually with RFS I wanted to...
