If anyone is looking for a Brand new CUP they have one for sale at Kidderminster Renault, its been there for about a month now and has been reduced by a grand, they cant seem to shift it!
Admob - You cant really comment on the alloys until you have seen them in anthracite in the flesh, and not a photoshopped car!
The Styling is exactly the same as the 172 so how you can decide it isnt as agressive? In fact it is probably more agressive due to its wider and lower stance and...
Thanks Louise, I do remember reading that now a while ago, but then I bought a 172 from Renault Wolverhamption so forgot about it. But now I have cancelled that and ordered a 182 from Lloyds I should be able to get that, thanks for the info!
you can only buy if you bank with them and you dont get any discount for the account you hold as I have a Platinum and they wouldnt give me anything! They even told me which dealer it is coming from so its no different from ordering direct with the dealer but with a fantastic plrice!
Apparently, in the back of Autoexpress this week it says there is a roadtest of the 182 in next weeks issue and they are going to put it through its paces, unfortunately its not one of the nice new colours, just boring Titanium (which I know is new but will look the same as Iceberg without the...
they have small suction pads all around the outside, and fit on the inside of the window, they are available from NEXT among other places for around a tenner
I was offered one for £14000 from Renault Wolverhampton but bought it for £12500 from Lloyds TSB Carselect in the end as there is no difference, its not like its an import as I already know my car is coming from a Renault Dealer in Coventry with the 3 yr warranty and AA cover, nice saving...
I Nearly went for the Black Gold but my brother has a 1.2 dynamique in black so thought they would be too similar! Didnt like the Artic Blue as to me it is a Mondial Blue wannabe but not quite as nice and I think Silver is way too common these days! So with the Blue I got to spend the money I...
the easy way to tell is to see if the window is etched by Renault as only UK cars go through the renault import centre where the alarm is fitted and the window is etched, if it isnt etched then it aint UK spec.
they used a 172 and superimposed the wheels and exhausts as there wasnt a 182 ready at the time of the advert. If your look closely at the cars wheels when it is firstr seen moving you can see they are 172 wheels!
sneaky barstuards
Astra GSI is very fast and the Turbo is rapid but there is a log of torque steer (drove it at motordrive live) and it is not as nimble as a 182 with the cup suspension. Astra is replaced the beginning of 2004 whereas the new renault sport wont be out until the end of 2005!
Buy the 182!
Other cars which are stripped out and modified for Trackdays (BMW CSL and Ferrari Stradale to name 2) cost a lot more for their racing breed, the Cup on the other hand was reduced in price to get people who couldnt afford the 172 to buy a hot clio a the difference in performance is so little...
As far as I am concerned, I have just ordered a 182 with the cup suspension and spoilers for £12500 + £187 + £140 which is cheaper than the RRP of the Cup and will have both the speed, all the toys and the Cups handling, so everything rolled in to one for a price which is less than the Cup...
there is no dark blue in the 182 though, only a light metallic blue similar to the Cup Mondial Blue (called Artic Blue) and a solid Blue similar to the Fiat Coupe Sprint Blue ( called racing blue). The 172 Dark blue has been dropped for the 182.
Which colour did you order? My renault dealer...
I was actually hit by a lorry and spun around before I left the road and hit the tree, nothing to do with the handling of the car. I thought someone might pick up on that and respond, should have explained myself batter.

I had a 106 GTI for 6 months before I hit a tree at 70 MPH sideways and walked away so cannot fault the car! Cant do better for handling and speed, the only that lets it down is the interior! As far as insurance goes, I had...
I like the new exhaust but all the pics I have seen so far are crap and not very realistic (Photoshop) but the car in the advert (which I know has been altered) looks really nice!
I am ordering the cup spoilers (£150) and the Cup Suspension and Anthracite wheels!
What are everyones thoughts...
I was told I can order it this week, am just waiting for them to decide on a resual value for the car on Selections. I had a 172 on order which arrives at the Dealer this week. They have let me cancel it and order the 182 as soon as it is possible. The Titanium colour is not like the current...
