Surely it would have to be on dead level ground?

I think I'm going to use this car a s a bit of inspiration for my next one! Without the dodgy driving antics that's happened recently! Looking at arctic 182's and then having PR1.2's and buckets.....

Sweet!

Don't be a tightarse. Get the OMP GP for £75 and be done if you want a cheap wheel in similar size, only this WILL have quality!

Dan, I'm telling you that is identical to my old one barring the material! The price is even cheaper than my old oem too! DO NOT BUY IT! If you do, then me and you aren't friends anymore! I'll leave this here to convince you again not to buy it:

AVOID!!!! Looks identical to my old bendy one....

Good to hear. 20mm fronts (20mm per side) and 10mm rear hub spacers (10mm each side, the ones that sit behind the rear hubs)

Ok bud, offer is there if you want at a later date :)

Dan, how long and how many do you need the studding? I've got some high tensile 10.9 grade m10x1.5 pitch studding at work which I could but down and send you? Comes in black too and is strong.

Too true! Didn't think it would be this quick though! Lol So stop updating this and it will hold off my need for a little bit longer..... Maybe!

Wow! Love that! End result is great as always Dawn :)

Haha. I think it comes down to experience. Like anything really. People have had no issues, others have. Ie: me and you ;)

Yes. The one I bought in October! Lol. Mark wants another Clio!

Want! Fancy a swap for a Volvo?! Lol

I bet that more people have them and haven't had issues over those that have. I'd say go for it. I have and I never had a issue. I'd do it again too.

"We guarantee that you WILL NOT find a cleaner, more genuine Clio 182 cup in the UK" Cups didn't come in black gold mate. Just sayin'

And give me money for using my pic without my consent! ;)

Ph1 suffer from rust a bit more than ph2, although money had zero rust which is rare! It's probably be a cheap 182 that I don't mind taking apart. Not a high mileage one though as I can't do it! Lol

Yeah, or a coating. My BC's were coated and when dirty then just washed/cleaned up sweet due to everything being protected/powder coated. I know your rears are, so the fronts should have been too IMO.

That's the downfall with bilsteins, they're not protected as standard. That's what put me off buying them before.

I knew you would say that! ;)

Spring was definitely fine and not slightly cracked? Could have snapped once refitted and driven? Sounds far fetched a bit, but it could happen. May explain the dropness. Other than that I'm stumped. Once you taken it apart and fitted it all back up, keep us posted.

Looks great on them :)

I'm just trying to think of what would make a grinding noise from shock replacement on these? It's only a few bolts/nuts too. Odd.

Not the top mounts?

15" turinis? Looks great :) Love flame red.

Are the springs seated in the correct position? There is a groove for them to sit in with a stop lip. Rears are separate shock/spring so shouldn't be rubbing on anything. I presume it's fronts you changed?

Nope. Fronts are identical, rears are too. Only difference is the cup ones are slightly stiffer than normal ones and the bolt spacing is different the the 182ff, 182 cups and 182 trophies.

And who is the mysterious new owner?

It's just not me Scott. I tried, but the Jekyll in me wants to play :) Not sure where it'll be a cup or 182 ff as it'll still be used every day so need some creature comforts. I'm also thinking coilovers, 15" wheels, buckets and harnesses, etc plus a few tra k days. Something that me and Emily...
