I take it they're 17"s? how much they set you back per wheel?

Tasty wheels, what are they?? Team Dymamics what? Haven't seen your car around town either.

Beat me to it! heh heh and a steering wheel that disintegrates.

182 Cup. But I'm biased.

27k pa ain't bad considering a qualified nurse is on around 16k working 12 hr shifts. Back on topic just lower it and leave it at that.

Go for a Mk5 Zetec S - should be pretty cheap by now, I had an X plate one for 6months back in 2000. Handled very well and had bumpers and skirts that no other Mk5 Fiesta had.

I think you should get your existing wheels powdercoated in anthracite - would look really good.

I do two tanks of V-power then two tanks of Sainbury's Super unleaded. (As you can appreciate I get the V-power at the beginning of the month, just after I've been paid) ;)

Ich denke auch! When I was a student I owned an MG Metro, student loans must of certainly come along in terms of how much they'll dish out.

The Xsara VTS i owned for around 6 weeks had corroded wheel nuts, went to the citroen dealer for a price on replacement wheel nuts (and they weren't locking ones) £5.65 + VAT each!! RIP OFF.

Did you pick it up at an auction?? I'm thinking you did, with being an ex lcompany vehicle.

I actually think the 197 hasn't been the sales success that renault was hoping it would be. Overpriced from the beginning, no cup version, heavy, dodgy gearing and an expensive option list.

I was driving the 182 Cup that you flashed as I went past you at the traffic lights. Defo on here Cliosport/rentech stickers in the rear window.

JT (brand manager for Renaultsport) posted it on the Renaultsport site ages ago.

Yeh, 433 Cups in Racing Blue and 64 in Inferno. Rarer than the Trophy. ;)

Here's my baby: (edit: this was taken before i fitted my sportlines, looks on stilts in this pic and there was me thinking that the sportlines didn't make much difference) Racing Blue = best colour.

Sorry Daz - but your 1.2 ain't ever going to do 120mph. Speedos lose accuracy the faster they go, only decent way you'll get a true reading of your cars speed, on a cheap budget will be a gps system, like a snooper. I'd say a ton tops. 1.2 16v maybe a little more, but seeing as I can't be...

Yep the 182 Cup definitely has heated wing mirrors, as mentioned above they're switched on when you press the rear de-mist button.

Cheers for the tip mate, but I'll probably just be using it for music and movies - hence buying the 2GB SD card, although it does seem interesting in getting "downloaded" games. Used to use MAME on my work PC playing all the old arcade games from years ago - so always looking out for...

Get one jay - they are superb. Bought Meteroid Hunter today, looks good but I haven't played it yet - too addicted to New Super Mario Bros., also ordered the SD version of the media player from liksang.com plus ordered a 2GB SD card from play.com for 18 quid!!!!!!!!!

Did you sell the car with a receipt for the sale?? ie you write a receipt saying that the car is sold as seen and get him to sign it along with yourself. If you did, tell him to bugger off.

I'd personally go for a car with history, it'll be harder for your mate to sell on, when he decides to sell.

I think the Mini dealer was being facecious, in terms of the interior of a Cup.

Good price. But just like tommyboy says "still wouldn't buy one." My 182 is just too good.

Obivously everyone like diesels on mainland Europe.

Oily rag (see vid clip) performance = 18bhp on a hot summer's day 24bhp on cool damp autumn morning. Nice.

He was being cheeky mate.. ;)

Yeh you can't even adjust the timing of the wiper sweep - that bloody relay clicking gets bleeding annoying!!!!!

Think is though, if he wants to give the car a proper work out, he'll have to drive over the border to spain.
