A euro rover, ive seen everything now!

i dont like it either... would have looked better in a matt/satin black, but hey its an engine... its meant to be dirty :)

checked bulbs? check wiring behind bulbs? is it foggy?

do it mate... im sure if you buy the car off an enthusiast, you won't experience the problems ive had as they would have driven the car how it was intended and it should have loosened up nicely.

I would say its worth it... i think I was just expecting too much out of the 182 from the start. Now that mine's 'fixed' i would happlily advise you to consider upgrading. My 182 is now faster than my old car, but more importantly it feels more composed whereas the 172 always felt like it had...

you're not missing much... a poor advert imo.

seems to be, yeah.

thats what mine needed i reckon... being taught how to be driven properly! It was owned by a lady before me, so christ knows how it was driven back then. Problem solved now though... so i can start enjoying it now! :approve:

black looks just fine... doesnt even look as though there's any fogs there!

Didnt get any pics of it Chris, but it was certainly there! I had a back seat ride back to Adenau in it... even though there are no back seats lol

if you go with the right frame of mind, you'll be fine. If you head out there hoping to set lap records, then you WILL end up crashing eventually. I was there to have fun, and enjoy the whole atmosphere and experience! Dont get me wrong, i still lapped it fast (eh Day? ;)) but my main aim was...

yep, vinyl covers. it really is amazing how different the car feels now, its like a completely different machine. Was suprised how well it kept up with the other clios on the route through Belgium... all the way up to the limiter in 5th :)

Ady is a member on here... send him PM if you want some. his username is Ady182 .

they're just covered up mate.

black plastic vinyl covering my fog lights is chav? lay off the crack son.

its common... tightening it up won't stop it. they rattle on the runners, which need to move freely. grease helps... but isnt a permanent fix.

I wanted to cover my fog lights so that the risk of them smashing at the Nurburgring was reduced... and this is what I got. They're made from hard wearing vinly, which simply stick over the fog lights to protect them. I personally think they look much better too, almost as if there's no fog...

The few companies who do cover the Nurburgring charge around £300 for the temporary policy, and have anything up to an 8k excess...

yup, there were a few cossies there.

I was on track when it happened too... lol This was when there were 4 cars in the barriers, and the biker down at Adenau... carniage on track and im suprised they didnt close it. Was my last lap of the weekend.

Here's a story/review type thing for anyone who's interested... Its been 6 months since I traded my mint ph 172 in for the 182 with cup packs... and up until recently I have regretted signing the 172 over to the dealer. The 182 felt slow in comparison, only having 22k under its cambelt. I...

WTF... you must have been stood RIGHT next to me when you took that pic... i was in the same place at the same time!! lol

happy days!! im still smiling at the thought of my laps... what an excellent trip with some great company too! :approve: loved the trip for several reasons... 1. I learnt that my car IS in fact fast, and that it was just my head telling me it was slow. 2. I learnt to love the 182, which is...

if you had asked me before last weekend... 6/10. however thats the past, and im now very, very happy with the 182... so 10/10 for me.

i did 7 laps in total... and yes it was very slippery but still managed 3 or 4 completely dry laps which were great! :approve: Both myself and Ady had the ring graphics in the rear windows... so it was Ady's trophy you mentioned with the graphics.

im sure he took it out on track, although i didnt spot him out there... and i was on track a fair bit over the weekend. looked great with the white speedlines on! :approve:

ive got better pictures, but thats all i have access to at work.
