Just fitted a set of these beautys. Look very good in the daytime, cannot wait to see what they look like tonight. Should match the Xenons better than the yellowy crud that was in situ before. Ballast packs were easy enought to wire in too. Pics tonight!!
Has anyone had someone get out of their car and start on you becaue they think you are flashing them (Xenons on 182). The amount of people who put their rear fogs on, pull up to you at lights and shout profanities such as "turn your f**king high beams off", or let you go past then whack on...
Do the spolier cup packs on my 182 actually make a lot of difference, have to say the car does feel very solid and secure around sweeping bends at high speeds. I know that the underneath of the 182 is pretty uncomplicated underneath compared to most cars and i guess the extra lower lip does...
Okay , thanks, so would you recomment Scratch X, then the paint cleaner, then the clay, then the gold class? Are you a professional polisher? or just seriously mad about concourse cars?

Ha Ha, yea my saxo was fun, just too flimsy, the 182 feels nice and grown up... ish! Has anyone started to go mad on tuning the 172/182? Or has everyone realised from their Saxo (and similar) days, that modding is a waste...
cheers mate. just a bit off topic. i have a few swirl marks on mine, and i have meguiars stage 1 paint cleaner. I am planning to use this to get rid of them then clay it then gold class it. Will it just be a case of loads of elbow grease to get rid of the swirl marks as the meguiars product...
I reckon it looks quite good, its all about the drive in that car even if the looks are debateable. I ve noticed a lot of people hating on this car for some reason too. I personally wasnt looking for a brand new car, hence buying my 7mth old 182. I think Renault have done a good thing with...
haha yea, im not really on driving fast now ive got it, just enjoy it with my self and if im cruising with mates. saved up for ages u can see i registered here last march! Eray 172 off here i met through the saxo sports club has a rsc as well and we gna shoot up to santa pod nxt mth
you lot...
haha, yeah a bit twitchy, but very stable and controllable, you need to feel the car through the brake pedal and steering wheel (road camber etc) just so you can bring it back to sensible speeds safely!
trust me, he was surprised too, im not one to bullshit man, i dont even race any normal cars, just want to see how quick this beauty is in relation to real cars! not bad me thinks, i got taken at the end of the day, but up to 100 it was virtually identical. i know that it would prob stand a...
haha, thats true, i actually get envious looks in mine from beemer drivers. they know they are too old to get a rsc and look respectable! i dont care what anyone thinks hence buying the clio. who need a big car that gets pissed on by an everyday hot hatch back. for me personally, if your...
well , pretty same up to about
110 (against his civic, easily take him round the bends though, though, mabye i have more confidence in mine then he does in his) really. encountered a new porsche boxster s on a private road the other night exactly the same acceleration if not slightly in front...
picked up my 05 plate 182 other day, with 14k miles, loads of fun but when you brake from really high speed the exhaust rattles like mad. checked underneath, nothing seems amiss, but when you shut the boot it clanks a bit. THe build quality is laughable, but the car is sooo much fun I can live...
Finally picked up my black gold 182 today and am about to go for a cruise with my mate in his nighthawk black ctr! The car is lush, a bit of a rattle from the exhaust but im not bothered, all a part of the character I reckon, otherwise I would have gone for a brand that is renowned for build...
tell me about it guys, spent like 2 hours trying to negotiate a deal. in the end i got what i wanted! second black clio now lol, had a 52 plate 1.2 dynamique a couple yrs ago. seem to be addicted to the french. had 2 silver saxo vtrs, now 2 black clios??!
at long last, went to test drive a 182. I knew as soon as I drove it I would be sigining on the dotted line!! Cant believe how fast it is! In the end 05 full fat 182 with both cup packs, black, 14k miles, new exaltos being put on front tlc cover, and full warranty, 10K from Renault Ilford. I...
