    Barnett's Recaro'd Arctic 182FF

    Was this Arney's (I think was his name on here) old car? Was really tempted to go see this...looks like I missed out!

    Worth waiting a couple of months longer...

    Been thinking about this a bit more, and would still happily pay £100 to drive 2 months sooner. The issue I can see is that wether or not I will get a full refund (for the 10 months not used) and also will they retake be back on if I just cancelled (which I highly doubt) Obviously waiting 2...

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    Problem is finding one...there's one on eBay at the moment - problem is he's asking over £3000 and it's done 102,000 miles It's also the small bits which add up which the one I'm interested in has - carbon bits, suspension, speakers and the rota grids have got to be worth a fair bit more than...

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    Finding it a bit strange how it's always for sale yet I can't find any information on it?!

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    I've tried eBay completed listings but struggling to find it when searching 'White 182' or 'White Clio'.... Would really appreciate if anyone could help me!! Apparently current owner has had it around 3 months, so not that long...

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    I believe it used to be Blue, that's what came up on a HPI Check. Interestingly, they haven't informed the DVLA on the colour change, well DVLA recognise it as having no colour change and originally blue. It is HPI clear which should cover the knock?

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    Thanks all, appreciate the help! I've always been told high previous owners is a sign that a cars got something wrong with it, which it seems isn't always the case!!

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    I'm waiting to hear back regarding how long he's had it The owner before him had it for a couple of years (and did all the work I believe) Agreed, I thought the 198bhp was a bit of an exaggeration, but I thought it may be possible with remap, decat, exhaust, but my knowledge of 182's is limited

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    Maybe it's just me being over careful I just thought each owner had only done say 7000 miles each, and possibly found a problem or something But with full service history, and all belts down at a proper place with receipt for it too My Corsa is on similar mileage, 05 plate, and I'm only the...

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    Thanks all, seems it's a Clio sport thing. HPI clear, I did my own check and all seems OK. Full service history too

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    Hi All Interested in a Clio 182 which has come up for sale, problem is it has a large amount of previous owners. 04 plate, done less than 70,000 miles with full service history and receipts - problem is that I'd be the 10th owner!! Now I've spoken to the guy and he sounds extremely genuine...

    Custom Bumper Spray

    Thanks both. There isn't a real diffuser out there for a 182 is there?

    Custom Bumper Spray

    Unsure why the photo hasn't worked in the first post, so hopefully this one has worked!

    Custom Bumper Spray

    Hi All, Apologies for the poor title, couldn't really think of the correct word what I'm after. I saw this photo of the rear bumper with the bottom bit painted black, and really liked the look of it. [/url] Has anyone done this to any other colour 182's? More specifically Arctic Blue...

    Go on then, I'll have a copy if possible please : Jimbob_2705@hotmail.co.uk Many Thanks!

    Worth waiting a couple of months longer...

    Thanks Neil, never thought of that! Good advice I understand that I'd be paying a large amount of the cars value in insurance but I compared it with my Corsa, and if I'm honest it doesn't save that much = £800 vs £1200 (no mods listed), by the time you add Modifications on for each, there...

    Worth waiting a couple of months longer...

    Thanks both, I think waiting is the most sensible option, but really want one, and the start of July seems ages away haha! Just worked it out, round figures with all mods listed, 15000 miles, £300 excess: £1500 per year when driving two years £1600 for a year (2 months at £150, +£50...

    Worth waiting a couple of months longer...

    Hi All, Looking at getting a Clio 182 as my second car, but in a bit of a dilemma at the moment regarding insurance Basically I'm 19 soon (May) which I'm waiting until then as insurance drops massively compared to now while I'm 18 (almost £2000 difference!!) I passed my test in the start of...

    Awkward Driving Position?

    Perfect Nick - your a star! I'll do some searching once I've finished work, but some great information there! Pleased to see that I'm not the only one with the issue, as a search didn't seem to bring anything up... I guess the easiest is just to try and have a sit in an 1*2, that should give...

    Awkward Driving Position?

    Thanks all - good to hear that it has a shorter throw. Interesting to hear about that steering shaft extension - does that literally just bring the gear stick back closer? Or does it do something else? And rough cost.... Many Thanks James

    Awkward Driving Position?

    Thanks all - appreciated! Interesting point about that mod...I'll have to do some reading into it That reminds me actually - will a 1*2 use the same gearbox as a 1.2? Just I found the throw on my Sister's Clio ridiculous, I'd say there's probably about 6" from gear 1 & 2, probably more! Is...

    Awkward Driving Position?

    Hi All, New member here, and one who is seriously thinking of a Clio Sport for a next car! Leaning towards the 182 at the moment... The issue I have is my sister has a 05 1.2 Clio, but when driving that I found the driving position really awkward...basically you had two options : 1) Sit so...
