Very very good. The later ones from 2015 on had a better software for the gearbox as standard, but the early ones can have an update added by Renault for about £60-70 which improves it no end.
Bottom radiator clip likes to rust and fail, electrical gremlins from a duff battery but that’s about it I think. (I pray!)
They are really good cars and look amazing with a few mods. And as said above no one really expects them to move quite the way they do!
EBay, there are a cheaper set that I purchased which fitted ok and the more expensive diamond performance ones.
Both just fit over the original badges and look a lot better.
@karlos0891 oh wow that’s a great idea! I’m not sure why either. Led bulbs in the front helps with seeing stuff, but the back is still very dark. I’ve fitted a sunglasses holder to the drivers side, meant cutting the roof liner but after doing that I won’t be cutting the roof liner again!
Well thanks to @karlos0891 I got a ph2 intake and fitted it. It’s a larger, smoother pipe which matches the turbo intake in diameter. Can’t say if it’s any different, but there is less restriction so must be a worthwhile mod just to improve air flow.
also fitted an updated Intercooler pipe from...
although technically not a car spotted but went past an accident repair centre tonight local to me and it had these two, plus a capri and another classic ford! Brilliant to see.
No, I’ve got the bits again, but I think it may be my laptop. I might give it a go if I can borrow a laptop from someone. Really want it done but I’m not paying £175 for it!
How is this for a conversion?

Yeah I had the petrol blue 182 at the time! Crazy how long ago that was.
sad to hear the cup went that way, but the 182 looks nice.
the 220 though, beautiful!!
I wish I had RS monitor to try this! On a separate note @Don did you (have you) got the 172 cup? Didn’t you used to be the rep for the midlands or something? I remember you coming to Stafford for a meet years ago I’m sure!
Wowsers!! I can get 40 on the motorway but my daily drive is only short when I use her at the minute and my mpg is reading 27! And I drive like a granny EVERYWHERE!
Yeah it’s a shame there aren’t more on here, they do seem to be popular, but not with the enthusiasts who would frequent this site sadly.
I absolutely love mine, wish I’d had one sooner (apart from the rubbish mpg!!)
