Sound like you may want to calm down a bit. You can't compare a 1.2 with that. Going too hard??? If it is true it sounds like a bad repair. At 30 mph a van will feel OK, yet in that car you will be doing a hell of a lot more. Car control??? If the car has been badly repaired then fair enough

That paint job was the whole point to the 182. The Gordini racing colours.

Potentially a wallet time then?? Blaze

My god this seems like a playstation game. "it's alright to race on motorways and b roads", "b roads and motorways have no side turnings", Baiting people to do what you want them to do, so you can then "drive up the backend of the car infront" so you can block them. The lot of you should look...

Gordini AKA Racing blue is a colour available with all 182 variants, except the trophy. The stripe you pay extra for. Trophy has a RED colour. The 182 variants have cheaper interiors aks cups. However the proper 182's with or without cup packs have the leather, and all can be had painted in...

Big JTS, you are the type of ahole people are talking about. I take it you must be about 20 and thinking you are some kind of fighting god, oh, and invincable. If so grow up, if not you are still a nob Blaze

Those cars have no leather back seats as standard. You need a FF 172/182. The colour is different on the recaro fitted models. But, i'm sure someone will have spent money where it was supposed to be saved. If it does'nt come with head rests then a) they have no leather whatsoever, or b) they...

Why are peole complaining about the RS'S brakes. FFS they are capable of outdoing a Ferrari 360 from 100-0. You must be overestimating yours and the cars ability?????? Blaze

What's this about the 182 clutch. I've had a MK1 & MK2 172,and a cupped 182, the clutch is one can always just gently pull away and just use the clutch to control speeds below 4 mph. Then if you want dump it it flys. People should practice clutch control without riding the thing. If you can't...

My good God what a load of ??????? The only way to compare two cars is with unmolested examples with the same independent driver, (who should be good at what he does, Stig anyone?) I am willing to bet £100 on the 182 cupped would be quicker round the Top Gear track. Just look at what it...

My God, what do you think you are doing. From the syntax you want power & noise. You will not get anymore power whatever. Want the chav noise have the open kit as a closed doesn't give the power let alone noise on a 1.2. Nothing power wise either way. Or, annoy everyone else, with...

Anyone heard of a pisstake???????? Love hearing these windups LOL

Sorry Cliokhunt, EVO have the FF 182 Cupped at 6.3, the 100 at 17 really close to AUTOCAR results. The Golf GTI does 0-60 and 0-100 in more time than the 182's. Magazines that have tested the older model now merely quote the manufactorers figures for the 197, "not yet tested".. What...

Most people have missed so many points. The 197 is the same power as a Golf GTI, which most argue is fantastic, now consider the cost of the spec'd up 197 to a similar GTI. Now we all know power/weight is the best way to accertain initial acceleration, (ignoring the final drive), then we...

The type R driver was the worst driver ever? He thought the idea was to hit the apex at nearly the start of each bend, then actually hit it after he was understeering away. No idea whatsoever. Blaze

people people, why try to prejudge. lets put it into perspective. Power for the new RS is the same as a MK5 golf GTI and about 170KGs lighter (may be more) The golf with all the options ticked is about £25K. Now this is a Clio forum, think what you will. Virtually every petrol headed mag...

Pau,l Why should I, you've made a huge mistake. (gas/voltage anyone) I don't like to even suggest I'm the best at explanation. However the mere hint of my last post means you were mistaken. I can cut and paste if wanted, the reality still remains the same. If you are that bothered read up...

PaulJ I love a debate. When the MK1 172 was built there were cars with auto levellers/ washers and the rainbow tinge, i.e. xenons. Mostly from higher value purchases eg BMW, Merc, Lezus,, not the MK1 172. Rules for the fitment were there at the time. EU regs. anyone?. Then the FF172/182...

So many comments without knowledge. How come the 172 MK1 had HID's and the 182 (not cup,trophy) has been advertised along with the 172 MK2 as xenons. There is a difference. Read it. Either way the lights on a MK1 are no where near the same as a MK2, I give up a youngun knows better than...

Seems that manufactorers have a very light look on technology?????????????????? then if the stated MK1 lights are the same as the MK2's, ignoring of course the cheaper specked variants. Blaze

Nockmeister???? What's side lights got to do with it. Read what you have just typed. Side lights the same as dipped beam????? LOL PaulJ their is gas in all bulbs it's the way it does it. HID's are what was fitted to the MK1 172, I had one, the 182 does NOT. Xenons have Xenon and have high...

Why oh why would this ever be an issue............... unless illegalities spring to mind, or too much action between the doggers

HID's are not Xenons.... There is a reason called cost, some RS's cost less. The Trophy's dampers cost would outweigh the slight increase in cost over a FF 182 with cup options. So what do they do? They cut down on other costs, eg Xenons, interior. Renault placed it so well with the 172...

sorry, but the collectors comments are correct. This is one of the first, and to some, the original Williams, and will be worth the money for a collector. He stows it in cotton wool. This was the best original hot hatch according too so many sources. It is also limited edition IIRC, after that...

Who cares who breaks the speed limit, the question is one of fogs. Of course people will speed, hopefully safely. Why oh why compound the illegality of your actions????

Guy you need to understand TBH. They are so much brighter. Another one that hasn't got them??????

So it's cool to do your own thing then??? Lets just forget everyone else and be so selfish shal we??

fog lights are still wrong when there is no fog

sorry too many "fog light posts"

still illegal to drive with them on.when it's not foggy. Who cares what they think they look like?????
