Hello. I'm from Shrewsbury so you might see mine about at some point! Have clocked a Cup packed silver 182 going down Copthorne road a few times before.
205 is the correct profile for a 182, however i dont think it really matters if you have 195's fitted as mine came with 195 and i'm currently running 195's on cup turinis i think quite a lot of people go for 195's as they are cheaper and more choice.
I think ill go for 205's when i need new...
Looks a tidy car for the money. Your seats look very black in the picture. mine look more dark blue than that, is it just the camera or do they actually come in different colours?

PS looks like you have the wrong coolant in it ;)

I can normally work out what im meant to do for the smaller jobs (usually i just undo everything i can see until the bit i want to replace falls off lol) Anything more tricky and ill have a look on the net - as they are usually...
Difficult to say without seeing them but assuming they are both in good nick I'd go for the 182! It's a newer car and if it's been properly looked after the mileage shouldn't matter. Intact I'd prefer 95k motorway to 50k if town/short journey driving anyway. As for resale I imagine they will...
