Easy on easy off sounds good to me :) Does the 476 really last a year ? Sounds a little bit optimistic to me and how much harder is it to polish off than the 845 ?
MrBillyUK !
F*ckin hell , now i know why i saw a cable go on ebay for twice as much as some of the changers i've been watchin , like rockin horse sh*t . Can you get after market cables . I miss havin a cd changer and could do with gettin one fitted to the standard head unit . Don't wanna go down the the...
Don't ask how long i was outside . -1 :( couldn't feel my fingers in the end but once i started i had to finish as i'm back to work tomorrow .
MrBillyUK !
Seems to work well . Its the first time i've ever waxed one of my cars before . I usually only ever get as far as AG super resin .Got a bit of inspiration after reading the posts on here from people like yourself . Used the tesco microfibre cloths to apply everything and take it off again ...
I think they've had this car in for quite a while , i was looking at the beginning of the year on auto trader for a 182 . So maybe you could knock the price down a little , after all cars in stock for a long time are losing money not making money .
Pretty high mileage tho' , probably better...
Is the paste version better than the liquid ?
Ever used the collinite stuff # 476 super double coat auto wax or the #915 marque d'elegance ? I like the sound of the 476 , says it lasts a full year.
MrBillyUK !
Yep. I used the liquid . Went on easy . Came off nearly as easy .I washed and super resin polished it yesterday , more super resin polish , extra gloss and souveran today .
F*ckin freezin out there today , -1 at one stage :( Took a few hours .
MrBillyUK !
Finished washing and polishing . Souverans very good , smells like Baileys ;)
Pics on here .

I agree with azzer2000.
Get a 182 . I've just sold my mk2 172 FF and got a 182 FF with cup packs .Both are good cars but personally i like the rear cup spoiler better and twin exhausts and i think it handles better than the 172 . But thats just my opinion .
MrBillyUK !
Cheers r-jay . Hope to give ita good wax over the weekend . Used some of the tesco microfibre cloths today . They are only small but they didn't half dry my car easily ,much better than a chamois and only £1.27 each , i'm well impressed :)
MrBillyUK !
Just sold my full fat mk2 172 which i had used toyos on for the past 3 years as i always thought and heard they were good .
Got my full fat 182 with cups packs on friday , F*CK ME , what a difference the exaltos make . I can't believe how much more grip i have with the exaltos , exaltos all...
I didn't think they did the superturismo gt in the offset for a 182 ?? Gt's would be my first choice so thats why i was looking for a multispoke alternative .
MrBillyUK !
You sayin , no ,as in they are sh*t or you just prefer the prorace ones ? I do like the prorace ,but where i live is across from a school and i have to park close to the pavement cos of the traffic , i'm sure as hell gonna kerb em and they have writing on the rim that would damage and look...
Would love to . I'm in 2 minds as wether to change the wheels sometime in the future . What do people think of these wheels , was lookin for somethin a lil different to the turini's .

MrBillyUK !
Lol , they tried this with me , key insurance , tyre insurance ......just give me the f*ckin car ;) .
Bought it part finance part cash and the salesman f*cked up and quoted me a cheaper price than the finance manager so they had to honour the lower payments :)
MrBillyUK !
I agree with r-jay . If your keepin it standard get the best one you can for your money 172 or 182 . But as you say your gonna bein some mods i'd look for the best full fat 172 your can find , don't forget not all the 172's have cruise control so you'd have to do a more specific search , imo...
Just picked up my new full fat arctic blue 182 with both cup packs from motorpoint this morning , French import . I was told by the salesman it only had a 2 year warranty and no AA Renault assistance . So i phoned renault UK to register the car . If its a direct import from France and not...
