Fair enough, have to admin the velcro was bought and on the car before I tipped the packet up to find the fixings from fancy plates fall out of the other end, so never actually tried them!

This ^^^^ I didn't trust the pads that cam from fancy plates but I may be wrong. They also provide yellow, black and white screw end caps if you decide to screw them in.

Slowly getting the car up to scratch. Missing centre cap diamond ordered. Booked in to RS Murray next week for Aux and Service.

Gave the seats a shave, got rid of a stain in the drivers seat, re glued the thumb grip. Located where the exhaust was blowing. Got new plates delivered. Successful morning!

Keep it standard, stealth exhaust, looks better than the rear of a 182 imo.

Ive got some Eibach Sportlines (just the front two) which would fit your cup. As far as I'm aware you will need specific springs ie suitable for Renaultsport Clios, but springs are transferable between 1*2's. The springs are brand new (still in the box). I needed to buy a full set after needing...

Bought cup spolier, new plates and splitter. :D

Done, thanks for your help. Decent price and good service. Cheers Nick

Anyone know where I can get some sportlines from near Leeds? Could do with them today or as asap. Or anyone near Leeds got any other suggestions?

Looked nice and clean, past me while I was out on the bike on the ring road.

This happened to me with my Mac Book, it was a failed hard drive. Lost the lot I'm afraid. There is some stuff he might be able to do via entering short cuts mac + a etc, but I cant remember what they were, mac forums are normally pretty good for advice. Good luck!

Now I'm getting compliments this thread has gone full circle! ;)

Thanks to those who replied, glad it's just French and there's nothing actually wrong.

Hero. It looks epic.

cheers Rich

I have noticed that the rear bumper on my 182 doesn't fit flush to the light cluster/body work on the right hand side.... RIGHT: The left hand side is looks like it should to me with no gap: LEFT: Does anyone have any suggestions of how to sort it or why it might be like that? Also could it...

Silver, standard wheels looked clean and tidy. Mine did not....

Great wheels. I'm intersted to see what they might look like. Got to be the only thing fast car magazine was useful for actual alloy tests on standard cars.

Hi Mike I have a non cup pack'd 182 with Eibach Sportlines, imo there low enough, give a good stance and the ride is fine. The cup spoiler has never bothered me, too much else on the list to get before that becomes a priority unless it was really cheap. Good luck with the car.

I have successfully glued down the split thumb grip. Without getting super glue all over me or bits of the car. :)

Im getting about 30/31mpg going from Leeds to work but thats all stop start with a little bit of dual carriageway. Drove back from Derbyshire today and got 41mpg so I can't complain.

Taxed it for the year

Thanks for the advice. The car is my daily so it's not seeing any hard driving at the minute, hopefully it wont get any worse over the next few days.

Think I'm going to buy some Uniroyal Rainsports, look like a good choice for this time of year. Any opinions on driving with the tyre in it's current state? They will be changed asap, ordered from Camskill today, but in the mean time what would people do?

Thanks for your help. Looks like I'm off to buy a set of tyres then! Any suggestions on a good winter tyre? I have seen the tyre poll but wondered if there are any in that list that are particularly good for winter conditions. cheers Nick

Got to work today to find a inch long gash in the tyre wall of the front left; The fronts are Pirelli PZero, and the rears are Yoko A539. Should I swap the tyre like for like? Would there be any implications on handling etc if I were to put a Pilot Exalto on as a replacement?

Done tyre pressures. The front left was on 22psi. :S

Sorted the clicking doors.

should rephrase, needing doing.... dread to think what state it'd be in if they had never been done!

...commuting to from Leeds to Bradford unfortunately. Hi all, been looking around the forum for a few weeks now after trying to get some advice on buying a 172/182. Time has been called on the trusty fiesta finesse and now I have some no claims etc it's about time I got something worth driving...
