Would i notice the harshness on the motorway though? I just think they look so good. I think i'll wait for some good discussion before deciding. Hmm decisions decisions,lol

Hi Guys,
Would really appreciate it if someone could photoshop these alloys onto a black 182 please. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
What sort of ride and handling comprimise will i be making if i get some 17" alloys? I do a lot of motorway miles (600 a week). I'm thinking if getting the pro race 1.2's. Is the handling comprimised too much to get them? Obviously i know the handling won't be as good but just how much...
Hi Guys/Girls,
The wait is over!!! Picked the beast up this afternoon after a 3 hr fiasco at the licensing department, as everything has to be in arabic and i can't read all the arabic they noticed a few mistakes which they needed changing so after a billion faxes from the dealer it was sorted...
Hi Guys,
Just picked up my new 182 and all i can say is wow!!!!!! :D
However the dealers haven't included the owners manual just the radio and service handbook.
How do i work the trip computer? Also how do the buttons on the wheel work? I've clicked a few buttons but can't get anything up on...
Haven't got paypal unfortunately and i think i remember seeing they dont accept cards from the UAE. Tweeks didn't have any ITG filters.:dapprove:
Any other sites guys?
John
Will do guys! Off to the traffic and licensing department now as i've heard the wait is like 2/3 hrs. Woohoo!!! This is better than xmas! :D
Wish me luck!

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for an online website that sells the ITG panel filter or of something of similar quality. BUT i need the site to accept visa electron and deliver to the UAE. www.2modified.com accepts electron but doesn't deliver outside UK:dapprove: . k-tec don't except electron but deliver...
Not too sure mate,more laws here than you can shake a stick at so wouldn't surprise me. I also noticed i don't have the height adjustment as UK cars have. I've searched high and low for it. Is it just a UK spec and right hand drive cars?
I'll be moving back to the UK next year so should be fun...
Hi All,
The wait is nearly over!!! Picking up my new 182 black/gold with cup packs tomorrow afternoon. Just got to go down to the traffic and licensing department and get my plates sorted.:mad: The amount of paperwork here is insane!!! I have to get a letter of no objection from my employer to...
Hi All,
Whilst checking my soon to be new 182 with cup packs i noticed the front splitter was missing. Now i talk a little arabic but this is what followed; ( i knew i'd have a nightmare trying to explain what a front splitter is to someone who barely knows what a clio is)
Me; Yeah it looks...
How about a 350Z or the 350Z anniversary model? Both excellent cars with a great sounding engine and very lively performance. Fits very nicely into your price band too. Got a nice look about them.
John
thanks,but i really dont think i've got it. I'll have another look tomorrow. My car is a left hand drive due to me living in Dubai, was it just UK models getting electric seats?
John
Hi Guys/Girls,
Picking up my 182 within a few days and popped down to have a look at it today. However i couldn't find where the height adjustment for the drivers seat was? Am i being stupid? I checked down the sides but nothing,i found the lumbar support and seat forwards and backwards but...
Those look absolutely fantastic!!!!
could anyone possibly photoshop the car into black? I'm getting a black gold 182 within the week and i'm seriously considering buying some alloys like these. Just want to get a feel for what these look like on a black car.
Thanks
John
Not here in Dubai,lol...85% of roads are straight and monotous as can be!!! Kinda sucks having a 182 here but the rare moments i'll get to drive it hard through corners will be worth it.
John
Yeah weather is perfect at the moment, low 20's in the day and 14/15 at night. Starts to really get warm around May time. 4 days and counting!! Managed to knock a few days off,just going through all the millions and millions pieces of paperwork still

I agree Rory, for someone to say waste of 2 grand is pretty rough. Each to their own,he obviously likes his car and his tastes,not everyone is going to like it but hey thats what styling cars is all about. To completely b**ch slap him is uncalled for IMHO. I'm sure he'd like constructive...
Here is a pic i took the other night,hope you dont mind Yaser! Looks sweet! Sorry about the quality,took it with W800 and forgot to use the night mode as it was quite dark in the underground parking.
Hi All,
Just been in Yaser's (Almaghrbi) 172 cup and all i can say is wow!!!! He's done some serious work on it. Has to be the fastest clio ive ever been in and he's a mint driver to boot! He's got it up over 200BHP and aiming for 225 over the next month, he sure does know his car mechanics etc...
Thats what i was thinking, would be nice to just have a nice note to the car as i've heard the standard noise isnt all that loud or throaty? Also looking for a nice exhaust for my soon to be 182. Any decent suggestions?

Hi Guys,
I'm awaiting the arrival of my 182 and i've been going over a few ideas in my mind of how to add a few nice mods to it once i get hold of it. I've seen a lot of good reports and feedback on the Viper induction kit and this is what my question is about.
Is it worth me getting one? I...
Hi Rob,
PMSL....no Dubai is extremely westernised and drivers have lights on after dark, where abouts in Egypt are you refering to? I've been to Cairo and noticed they had lights on after dark. Thanks for all the warm welcome guys,somedays i wish i was back in the UK with the 182 on order!!!!
john
lol.I've got a sweet job here plus i'm considering going full time as a poker professional. I have lethal interests/hobbies. Horse Racing,Cars,Women,Poker and Golf. Remember cars here are without VAT so minus 17.5% straight away plus a little bit of haggling never hurt no body!!! lol
John-13...
Woohoo!!!! Just had a phone call from the dealer and they have sourced me a black gold 182 with cup pack!!! Over the moon as it was my first choice and was orginally told they didnt have one so i picked platinum silver but i asked nicely and said i was paying cash and BINGO they find one,lol.
