From the car leaving the bodyshop
To a brief introduction to a pheasant.
Did have to laugh at the feathers strewn down the car.
Think people in the carpark thoughti was going all basil fawlty as I ripped the splitter off!
I drive a vrs on a regular basis. If you're going to talk 0-60, yes the Clio is quicker. But all 0-60 is relevant for is pub talk. Performance diesels always look slower on paper, but then we don't drive our cars on paper, do we?
Comes with original suspension and steering wheel. Tbh I'm 50/50 on selling it. If it goes for close to asking before the ATrader ad runs out, cool. If not it's staying.

Option 2. I've owned both (Trophy and V2's). Once setup correctly, it's as good on road as a Trophy, but better on track. Trophy's don't work as well as a standard 182 on track, not as throttle adjustable.
Add a whiteline ARB to the V2's, and it's an incredible setup.
Although bin the 2118's...
Thats exactly what I wanted from my car (the one Robbos kindly mentioned). Useable every day ( I do a lot of miles! ) but still great for b-roads/track.
That's why I still have full interior, bluetooth, all sound deadening etc, suspension that's compliant for road use but easily adjustable for...
People underestimate the Fabia's, as they look pretty ordinary and upright. Good cars though. Oddly I could never get comfortable in the drivers seat, kept getting cramp.
Not sure if you've considered it, but I wouldn't rule out a late, well looked after 172. Same shape, exhaust is cheaper when it breaks, and you've more options than a cup packed 182 if you're ever thinking of coilovers.
Wish I'd never sold my 1st 172 for the 182 tbh.
