Mine is in next Wednesday. Been quoted £206 by Renault Cannock. I'm guessing they've missed off the aux belt in that though. Luckily that was done under warranty 2k ago so it doesn't need doing anyway.
I went from a FF 182 with Cup packs to the Trophy. The drive is noticably different, especially the ride which is much harder. The 182 was a better all rounder but I don't regret swapping it for the Trophy.
As for all the colour talk a liquid yellow 182 is just a 182. A rare colour, but...
That'll be this one then: http://www.themotorhouse.co.uk/ecarsuk/263811_1_1609/renault_clio_special_eds_16v_renaultsport_182/index.htm
They even left the sticker in for the photos.
Almost pulled out in front of me earlier off the Co Op car park. Stopped when she saw me and made up for it by giving me a nice smile. :D
Had aftermarket alloys on the car, can't tell you which as I wasn't really looking at the car in detail.
The Orbital is in the local papers weekly. A week doesn't go by where a female driver or boy racer doesn't lose it and end up stuck up the bank near Finning. Last winter they put cones and 10mph speed limit signs out to slow people down!! That's a 50mph dual carriageway too.
But also more chance of the tyre leaving the rim. The increased temperature softens the tyre, and road tyre sidewalls aren't as stiff as track tyres which can run low PSI. The extra load when cornering on track means you should really increase the pressure when running road tyres.

I've got Sky broadband 8mb. That's capped at 40gb per month, which I never get close to, and they don't block any ports. Well none that I've come across yet so bit torrent works fine.
My parents also have Sky Broadband, but just the 2mb package, and they've never had any problems either...
I liked the Contis, but they didn't really have that much in the way of grip and squealed when pushed. Nice and progressive though. I swapped them for Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 on the 172 and was really pleased with those. But since having 182s I'm sold on the PE2s also. They offer great...
Filling up next to me last night at the Shell Station on the Chester Road near Sutton Coldfield.
Very pretty. I saw her eyeing up the Trophy though. ;) Probably thought it was an old red Clio. lol
I couldn't see any damage, other than the bush in the front. I didn't see you stick your thumb up, but I was looking at the car with one eye and had the other on some gimp in a crappy Hyundai next to me who had been giving it some along the DC.
Hope he gets it sorted. At least you were both...
Dam good effort. The recovery truck was picking it up off the roundabout itself, while the owner was pulling bits of bush out of the front bumper.
On the first roundabout after you leave the M6 for Cannock.
I had the tail of my 182 step out a little there, I was racing a motorbike at the...
The car is renowned for handling badly. Even the VW test driver lost it the first time it was shown to the public. Every mag which have been near it have said it tries to kill you at every turn of the wheel.
Clarkson just likes to go one step further for entertainment.
The Porsche and Lambo...
Those pictures are perfect thanks.
It looks like the wheel well goes a lot further back than I remembered on the 172. Only pics of a 182 wheel well are going to show me the area I need to check out.
For anyone doing a 182 pic for me the last two pics are perfect.
