I've just recieved what is supposed to be a genuine Cup splitter from eBay and is brand new. However now it's arrived and I've unpacked it it's got no holes to screw into the bumper - but four cut out parts at each end and in the middle section of the splitter there's four resessed parts of the...

54 plate 27200

Those are all dealers though, I honestly haven't seen anything above £5999 when looking at dealers and I thought that was extreme - the norm seems to be about £5500 for similar miles with them at the dealers and anything up to a grand less private. My 182 for example has 27k on, is 54 plate...

I think I'll try and get hold of a spare just incase I do any longer journeys.

Depends. Tyre foam may help seal a sidewall (depending on the damage/split - as it may only be a small puncture and not a total rupture), but using it as anything but a 'get you home' tyre would be idiotic. It totally depends on what's gone through it or caused the damage - if something...

I'm not 100% up to date, but a few years ago any decent tyre place wouldn't touch a tyre with foam in. Then again some repair sidewalls and thats as dodgy as it gets - so some will.

Cost co?

Surely for six months it's £115?

Definitely not for me.

If the foam holds it then fine, but obviously it can't be repaired after that.

On a 182 is it a good idea to only use the Pilot Exaltos or does something like some good Bridgestone or Toyo proxes do an equally good job?

Any sidewall damage and your tyre is fecked regardless though or even if there's companies who will bodge the tyre it's not worth doing.

Any idea how much it is from Renault?

I might, but if there's some under the seat I wont need to.

Ah, I'll have a look there then.

Surely four of those are not actually the fault of the car though?

I've just been looking for a 182 or 172 over the last month or so and I'd reckon for a private sale warren4 is about right. If you look around you can get 182's with similar mileage on for the price you have it advertised for on here - but you sometimes have to be quick, or lucky (as I may...

What spray cans are you supposed to use then, as mine hasn't got one in.

How do you tell if you have a cup pack on yours (i.e. suspension)? Asking because I've just bought a 182 and until I got there I didn't know it was supposed to have Cup suspension and wouldn't have stopped me purchasing it either way.

Have to have a look and see if there's one in there. But yeah, a spare just incase would be a good idea.

...and while I'm over the moon with it - can someone tell me what the craic is with spare wheel, as it doesn't seem to have a well for one and the exhaust is where the under tray would normally be, hence I haven't got one. Someone enlighten me please :S

Hello, tomorrow I should be picking up my Clio 182. However after looking at some reviews on the internet I've seen many favourable remarks about the car, but also a few negative ones about build quality and reliability. Seeing as people on here are actually owners of the same cars and many...

Yeah I'm wondering that too. Sounds pretty simple - I'm confused though, surely it isn't that easy?

I've heard about this problem before from a mate who used to work in a paint shop - will it affect the 182 I'm getting on monday?

Hello and welcome.

Sounds quite mad - do Renault actually do wheel refurb and don't want third parties to know the code, or were they just being arwkward?

If I had a garage I'd keep it, strip it out and use it for track days and do what you said. So many people are doing that with mk 2 Golf's it's unreal. And to be honest it would be much better value (and more remeberable) than what I normally do on my weekends :eek:

Just a quick photo of the old girl from behind ;) Sorry for posting German cars on your forum mind, been on one or two before and know other marques can have mixed receptions. However I'm a fan of quite a few cars and when they last 15+ years, nomatter what the model I feel you have to pay...

Just twenty years old though! At the moment I just can't be bothered to be underneath it every weekend fixing it. I love the car and have enjoyed owning it, but ideally something like mine should be kept for weekends/trackdays and something to mess about on, not an everyday runabout - though...

I'm new and just about to buy a 182 (well depending on finance). If I don't get this then I'll probably end up with a 172. No pics as yet though, currently driving a mk2 Golf GTi 16v.
