Your front bumper looks like its come loose there.... What type of coilovers are they and how much did they set u back?

I'd have thought with the 40 profile sidewall it would be ok but I'd check with chris or someone that has done it.

is that a new model of 182?? lol "Re: FAO Any Young 182 Owners"

oh dear x 2

Some simple mods but they do look good! :D

You should be able to tell just by looking between the tyre and the arch. The std springs and dampers are all black. Modded ones will be coloured. Hope you enjoy ur car anyway!

a bit id think.... £1k??

Thats been lowered as well by the looks of it. Do you know if its coilovers or springs? And how much back and front? Looks just about perfect.... Nice one :)

Yeah unless you put a gash in the sidewall. Then its as much use as an inflatable dartboard.

Nope the turinis on the cup were 37.5 et the ones on the trophy were 45 iirc. But I think the trophy alloys are the better option if you are going to lower your car on 205 tyres...

What sort of drop have you got on the cup? Is it running the trophy turinis or have they been refurbed in that colour? And do you have 205/45 tyres on? Very nice exhaust btw, dont think I'd have the balls to go for a decat though. It would either be that exhaust or the 182 lookalike for me...

centre section of the exhaust?

^^If I was paying that sort of money I'd want to see a dyno printout of the "900bhp", which was probably achieved when the car was mapped on japanese fuel. I think it would be putting out about 700+ , remapped on uk fuel.

Thats if you have the heavy non cup items with the airbags. I'd assume the std 172 cup seats will be much lighter....

^^ It looks more like a 2.0 16v badge to be honest. get the proper 1.2's on it!!

big hammer? ;)

Quite expensive to put right judging by the amount of damage done to the bodywork....

It because the 172 cup is the best looking 2.0 ltr variant. Thats why everyone and their dog wants them on their bog std 172's and 182's ;)

Well it will be worse for the first 500 odd miles until the tyres bed in.... Which will still mean it will be easy to wrap ur car around the nearest lampost in the wet!

I had this problem but it had dropped out the bottom of the engine as the renault garage hadnt done up the sump plug properly after its last service. No damage though.

In terms of performance difference you would only notice this in a 172/182 according to allen collen on the renaultsport site due to these cars being mapped to run on the higher octane fuel. It does however help to clean the engine of deposits.

Nope they wont be. Only for height IIRC not damping.

Steering wheel controls can only be kept if you buy the adapter for it. Around £40. But this ive been told requires the whole top half of the dashboard to be removed to get access to it, if you have the dashtop display.... I had the same initial problem with my h/u, just make sure the rubber...

Thats not nice.... whos kicking you just because you have a 1.2? ;)

Surely if u spent 5 whole hours on it you could have put some tyre black on?? ;)

f/f 172/182's will always be 2nd ;)

I posted a while ago what when i came on and off the throttle in the dry that it sounded like the front tyres were breaking traction with the road in 4th on a dry road! I got a vid of it last night and it seems that its a knocking noise.... What do you think it is? Gearbox or engine mounts...

Im not impressed with the front wheel refurb. They didnt get anywhere near the colour match when you look at the back wheel. (In the full side shot). Oh and these pics were taken on my k750i which I didnt think were too bad. Cheers Fraser

Needs lowered desperately b4 anyone says... ;) Cheers m8 i need to nick ur apexs ;)

I really dont know what I was thinking... Came home from work shattered, needing my kip and I decided to wash and polish my cup! All by hand! Wish I hadnt of started cos my arms were dead afterwards! I really need a pc!!! Anyway here are some pics.... Tell me what you think! I noticed as...
