I am from Treboeth origionally but now living in Birchgrove, where are you?
I was not tempted to go for an import as I was given a great deal from the aforementioned mate who I have known since I was a kid. This was also the main reason for buying a renault at all. But I have now driven...
Drove that there same car yesterday. When I asked I was told that it was by appointment only until I told him that I had one on order from there when he agreed to let me drive it there and then (but only for 10 mins) as he was expecting another customer, unfortunately the salesman then came with...
Shocker is the word!!! Tried TESCO for my pending 182
I am 34, had full no claims discount on my modded golf which covered any mods up to 230bhp. Not insured the Golf for 3 years as I have had a company car. I have had to make a claim for £300 15 months ago when some t**ser dameged my door...
After driving one today Dave, now I am exited, cant wait but got till 22nd March to get it. Freelander TD4 deisel for another month I am afraid as Golf off the road. I have seen the paint chip for Racing Blue and I am sure it will look great. Exclusive too as we seem to be the only ones here on...
At last, Renault Swansea had their 182 demnonstrator in yesterday and after some haggling about appointment only test drives (salesman who I dealt with was not in), I got to drive it this afternoon. Only done 87miles so far and I could only have it for 10 minutes so only drove it quite slowly...
Try Brentacre, 01792 650933, I have been with them for 10 years with a Golf, last policy I had was for a max power of 230hp, with no other restrictions for around £600 fully comp. They have specialised in modified Golfs for years but thay will arrange similar cover for anything.
Got EVO today and also like that colour. The two cars on the first page of the article (or one car from both ends, as they have the same plate) look completely different colours and the one on the right looks at first like it may be the Racing Blue as everyone thought from the scans. In fact it...
Wrong button!! I have ordered a Racing Blue one, nearly changed it but Dave 182 convinced me otherwise. Going to get EVO tonight to see what it looks like. I hope the pics are Racing Blue.
Never had a Renault before, but that review is a relief after ordering it with no testdrive (did drive...
Try Brentacre on 01792 650933, specialised in modified golfs. but will arrange cover for any modified car. Last lime I insured my Golf, it cost £550 with a 230bhp limit on the policy, apart from that limit, you can do what you like. I dont know if they will cover you due to your age (I am 34...
Unless I have lost it, those two special colours were not on the renault.co.uk site a fortnight ago and they are not listed in the 2004 price list or offered by the dealer.
Pre telephone equipment is not available if you opt for the cup spoiler pack, must be something to do with the rear spoiler. I suspect the sat nav cannot be fitted with the larger rear spoiler for the same reason.
Not at the moment, only 4 colours for UK are Black Gold, Titanium Silver, Arctic Blue, Racing Blue.
Pics of a nice yellowy gold colour and a red are on the French site below, not available in UK, but I heard somewhere at least the yellow it will be soon.
Link sent to me by Dave182...
Glad to hear it.
I will join the club when I get the car, and time permitting I will try to attend some events but it may be difficult this year with work, a small baby and a college course to finish.
I have been a regional host for ClubGTI for a number of years having had my Mk2 for 10 of...
Yes I am convinced. Cheers mate. What area are you from?
I know that mine is the first ordered from Renault Swansea so unless you are nearby there should not be two identical cars around where I live.
I think you are right and 300 quid is 300 quid after all. Got the Cup Suspension and spoiler kit for little more than that.
That site has some good pics, Thanks again. If it was available in UK, that yellowy gold colour looks great in the pics and the graphite wheels are really nice too. First...
Thanks very much for that Dave, I am glad Ive seen that as that looks a lot darker than it appears on the Renault web site and the dealer did not have any swatches of the colour yet.
Not sure wether to change it to Arctic Blue now, as I have only seen a picture of that on the EVO Website and...
Hello all,
Does anybody have, or know where I can see decent pic of a 182 in Racing Blue.
Having never owned a Renault of any description before, I was looking around dealers last Thursday for a new/second hand car and wandered into Renault, tested a 172 and a Cup and went back in on...
