Cheers r-jay . Hope to give ita good wax over the weekend . Used some of the tesco microfibre cloths today . They are only small but they didn't half dry my car easily ,much better than a chamois and only £1.27 each , i'm well impressed :)
MrBillyUK !
Just sold my full fat mk2 172 which i had used toyos on for the past 3 years as i always thought and heard they were good .
Got my full fat 182 with cups packs on friday , F*CK ME , what a difference the exaltos make . I can't believe how much more grip i have with the exaltos , exaltos all...
I didn't think they did the superturismo gt in the offset for a 182 ?? Gt's would be my first choice so thats why i was looking for a multispoke alternative .
MrBillyUK !
You sayin , no ,as in they are sh*t or you just prefer the prorace ones ? I do like the prorace ,but where i live is across from a school and i have to park close to the pavement cos of the traffic , i'm sure as hell gonna kerb em and they have writing on the rim that would damage and look...
Would love to . I'm in 2 minds as wether to change the wheels sometime in the future . What do people think of these wheels , was lookin for somethin a lil different to the turini's .

Lol , they tried this with me , key insurance , tyre insurance ......just give me the f*ckin car ;) .
Bought it part finance part cash and the salesman f*cked up and quoted me a cheaper price than the finance manager so they had to honour the lower payments :)
MrBillyUK !
I agree with r-jay . If your keepin it standard get the best one you can for your money 172 or 182 . But as you say your gonna bein some mods i'd look for the best full fat 172 your can find , don't forget not all the 172's have cruise control so you'd have to do a more specific search , imo...
Just picked up my new full fat arctic blue 182 with both cup packs from motorpoint this morning , French import . I was told by the salesman it only had a 2 year warranty and no AA Renault assistance . So i phoned renault UK to register the car . If its a direct import from France and not...
Just gonna pick up my new 182 Full Fat in the morning , both cup packs , delivery mileage , artic blue £12,227 on the road . Its gettin harder to find brand new Full Fat with both cup packs now in any other colour than silver.

Its a new virus thats being released tomorrow .It apparently affects microsoft word , excel and powerpoint . And i think pdf files . If you have the free version of AVG you won't be protected from it either now that symantec have taken over .

Miles easier off the car . Also stripped the calipers down , took the pistons out and greased inside the caliper cos my 172 failed its MOT on brake imbalance ,ASSH*LES at NATIONWIDE AUTOCENTRE . The insides of the piston will start to rust over time so i used Rust Remedy and sprayed em up with...
Looks good , i was thinkin of doin' mine in red but was bothered about the brake dust etc ....
You should have used these wire brushes in a drill , a piece of p*ss , only takes minutes not hours . I have a spare set of calipers so it was easier cos i could do em off the car . I opted for...
Just been to sort out a brand new Artic blue 182 with both cup packs today , love the colour ,gonna pick it up on Friday mornin' , missin my 172 cos i've had no car since i sold it on Monday :(
Didn't feel as quick as my 172 tho', but that had 47k on the clock .
Roll on Friday mornin :)...
Never liked the local Vauxhall garage when i had one years ago . Hopefully gonna get to use it this weekend when i pick up my new 182 on Friday , if its not too cold . No car for the last 4 days and its f*ckin killin me ,lol .
MrBillyUK !
Cheap as chips that !! Its £6.39 for 500ml from my local Vauxhaul dealer .Must be cos i'm from the north west and we have more money up here lol ;)
Where the f*ck does r-jay get it from for £3.00 ???
MrBillyUK !
Just gonna buy a brand new 182 ( import ) but it only has the cabasse head unit and no cd changer . I've seen a couple for sale on ebay Alpine 6 cd changer and vdo Dayton 6 cd changer . Which one is the best and will i have the wires under the passenger seat so i can just plug it straight in or...
I'm lookin' to buy a 182 Black Gold ( fingers crossed ) but i don't like the renault standard wheels . I prefer a multi spoke wheel , 15 or 16 spokes preferably .Lookin for some advice and opinions .
First , wheres the best and cheapest place online ?
Secondly i wanna keep standard size 16...
Cheers r-jay .
Are the black golds a b*stard to keep clean ? Any issues with this colour as i'm lookin to get 1 maybe in black gold when i sell my silver 172 .
MrBillyUK !
I'm not an expert on HU's but from what i've read on here before you won't be able to use your Renault cd changer if you have one .
Correct me if i'm wrong somebody .
