I've had a 172 and now own a 182 . It's basically the same car .
As you've already commented on , the 182 has the twin exhausts . Plus they have different , nicer lookin' wheels imo . Personally i prefer the look of the 182 over the 172 . Go for whatever your budget will allow .

You need to remove the clip holding in this metal bar which holds in the pads , then tap out the metal bar .
Undo the cap on your brake fluid reservoir the wind the piston back into the caliper , clockwise .
Take off your engine cover to gain access to your brake fluid reservoir .
Repack it , clean it up and stick a jubilee clip on . Its a common problem , the clips are weak and they snap . Your the 3rd person to post this problem in the past couple of days .
Repack with grease , jubilee clip , job done . Its a common fault , the clips are too weak and snap . Anyone who's clips haven't snapped yet , stick a thick ( 10mm ) cable tie over the clip to help prevent it from snapping .
Mine went on my 172 and i drove it for a couple of weeks and it was ok .
Forget these kits with the primer and lacquer . Get yourself an aerosol mixed up in your colour , spray a little bit in the lid and use a c0cktail stick or fine artists brush .

About £6.00 for the Megs versus £1.80 ish for WD40 . No contest imo .
WD40 everytime . ;) Next time i use the WD40 Dicky i'll do some before an afters i.e. with the white marks and then dressed with WD40 .
So you had it on when you arrived at work and just left it ? Your better off cleaning it off as soon as you can rather than leave it to burn the paint . Sounds like it's etched into the paintwork / lacquer . A machine polish might remove it . Personally i always keep a bottle of quick detailer...
^^^ For removing white polish marks off plastic , it's the only thing i've found that actually does work . Then dress with WD40 . Cheap solution to a pain in the ass problem ;)
Nope . Spray it on a cloth , rub it in then buff off . They all run , AG bumper care , CG trim gel.... if you put too much on . Try it mate , you'll be pleasantly suprised . Plus you can spray your dodgy bonnet catch as well .
WD40 ftw ;)
I've tried it . It's nothing special imo . I compared it to 2 new Collinite waxes i got and i would choose the Collinites over the Autoglym everytime if i was buying them .
