My missus paid just over £9500 for her racing blue, striped, 182 Cup. That was an 05 plate with 6500 miles on it. Was about 2 months ago.
Probably get them a little less than that but the guy offered to take her battered old 106 off her for £900 so it saved her selling that!!
Inferno is a fantastic colour, always looks different depending on time or day, weather etc. I wouldn't of had my 225 in any other colour.
On the 182s I'd say my order of preference -
1 - Racing Blue
2 - Liquid Yellow (not seen in the flesh though)
3 - Capsicum Red
4 - Inferno
5 -...
Full fat is the way to go, get leather, climate control so lots of toys and lots of performance!!
Just get as lower mileage as possible. My gf recently picked up an 05 182 Cup with out 6500 miles on it for a bit over £9.5k!!
I bought my gf a KENWOOD-KDC-W7531 CD/MP3 headunit (pic below).
I have installed it and it seems to be working fine, sounds good, saves settings fine etc. The only problem is that we cannot seem to work out how too turn the 'Demo Mode' off.
The intruction show to hold the joystick style...
My girlfriend has an 05 182 Cup and I was wondering how easy it is to replace the interior bulbs in the roof lining.
It doesn't have the map light and main light like my old 172 but just one singular lense which tilts to switch on .
Just wondered how many bulbs are in that and how easy...
I find its always a case of getting used to how quick it is!! You drive it for 6 months and then grow completely accustomed to the power from it.
My gf went from a 1.4 106 to a Clio 182 Cup and she now says how the car feels normal, not quick like when she first got it!!
Nice one mate, I just read the bottom of that first link and it wasn't clear that you'd be able to retro fit these to a Clio!!
The search helps though.
I'd definitely take that up with Renault Customer Services.
A cars seats should not show wear and tear on them for a long time, let alone under 2000 miles!! :(
Cause as much fuss as possible mate! Let them fix it then if it happens again tell them and cause the fuss if they refuse. There...
Just read this though -
" Please note these wiper blades cannot be retro-fitted so the blades on your car must already be of this type in order for them to fit correctly.
Legal and Easy to Fit "
Does that mean that unless you already have this kind of wiper you won't be able to fit them...
Worse case scenario is that the car was damaged from the accident, but that depends on how badly damaged it was, would have too be quite extensive if it was.
Best case is that its just how the Clio behaves normally, try and get a drive in another one and see if its the same???
If its...
I can't say I've noticed a massive difference.
I owned a ff 172 up until last November and got a Megane 225 in January. My missus got a Clio 182 Cup about two months ago. The 182 doesn't really feel a million miles away from my old 172 just doesn't have the comforts.
I'd personally have...
Does sound like torque steer, if you don't hold onto the wheel with both hands when you boot it in a quick front wheel drive car, you'll find that the steering wheel will squirm a bit.
Also a lot of UK roads will camber too the left and what with the wide tyres and firm suspension of the...
So not really fair to compare to a Clio 182 or any car within a normal budget!?!!?!? Still, must be an awesome car.
I'd still say it doesn't justify an argument against tuning a Clio 182!! lol ;)
Good point Munday, so they actually have more heritage and as much right to be on there as a Viper!!!!
Nice to see Jones coming up with a constructive point!! ;)
With regard to the original post, that is quality hahaha.
Serves the pr!ck with the Rover right!! Besides who'd bother spending £6 on cleaning a Rover anyway ;)
Just do whatever makes you happy I'd say.
I had two Clio 1.2s and put the usual on em, rims, sounds etc but never really tried to make it faster, they weren't that quick so just left my 1.2s for cruising in. But that was just me!! :D
To say you shouldn't try and get more power from it and...
Tends to be hte case with the earliest models of a new Renault!!!
The Megane 225 was the same, yet the later ones are a lot better. They tend to iron out the problems after the first lot get fixed over and over again! lol
Does that include the but that allows the glass to clip in???
I recall replacing a broken mirror from halford but it was a sticky backed bit of mirror that stuck over the broken mirror!?!?!
I'd say it would be nice to have a 6 speed in a Clio 172/182, always found that it sat a bit high in revs when you're sitting at higher speeds.
God knows about the cost and implications though!!! lol
Mate, they know bugger all!!
Another indication of their lack of competence is that all the early Megane 225s had their service intervals set to 18,000 miles. Then it was realised that they needed servicing every 12,000 so they wanted all of the trip comuters reset to show that?!?!?!? They...
Someone has hit the drivers side mirror on my gf's parents Clio (1.4) and the glass has broken and fallen out of the mirror.
I haven't had the chance to call Renault yet and couldn't see it on e-bay but does anyone know the rough cost for replacement glass and how easy is it too fit...
I know but I'm wondering if people are voting right now!? lol
Bearing in mind that from what I've read most people say they like em yet it now shows a majority say no!?!?
I hope they don't sell off the Shell garages, I'm fortunate as I have on Shell within a mile of my house and another within about 3 miles of my house!! :D
Have read on a few other forums that Optimax is being replaced with a higher RON fuel, no doubt they will charge mega money. Thats fine...
My old 2003 (53) reg Clio 172 full fat had no lock on the drivers door but one on the passenger door.
I assumed that was probably due too that passenger door in France being the drivers door and you'd need to have at least one manual lock on the car.
I know have a 2006 (55) Megane 225 full...
