The 197 really grows on you, looks great from behind. Not too sure about the front still though...
Its very sure footed through the twisties, looked a lot more stable than the 182s and 172cup imo.
yeah they bumped my renewal up by £200 this year (currently 25) so I'm going with Admiral instead as they quoted £471 with my exhaust compared to elephant at £600 odd
Lots of 3 year old 182's failing MOTs just now as the car comes of age. The Catalytic convertor being a common problem, £700 for a new one from Renault (£100) for a 2nd hand one here or ebay.
aye non cup 182 is different, it's a hybrid of 172 hub with wider 182 track so you'd need camber bolts and possibly slotted top bolt holes and camber bolts to give you the correct camber using 172 parts.
^ oops edde beat me to it.
For any non cup 182 owners out there Koni are developing...
dunno but u got any interest in 2 14" oz f1s? was mis-sold them could use them for track days or 1/4miling the turbo.
£60 for you sir. brand new in box no tyres.
gti is defo more fun than the 182 imo but I had both at the same time and as a result stopped driving the gti.
Out the box the handling is tremendous and parts are so cheap. Looks tidy, shame it's not Miami Blue ;)

GSF is German Swedish French like I said but this is an ebay account they sell through and I received my pads last week with a GSF invoice.
taken from that review:
"it doesn't suffer fools and you can't feed it mixed messages - once you're committed to a corner, it's best you stay committed."
so true
never been let down by mine in 3 years. I've had to have electronic sensors re-calibrated / replaced mainly - under warranty.
Leaking shock absorbers are the most annoying feature I've had.
:dapprove: how to make friends in a cliosport forum lol
it got a bad reception due to it being slower than the outgoing model and not being the 2.0T concept we envisaged - the concept even had 2 bucket seats in the rear!
