Yeah it is worth it. For only like £500. Is not a major investment. Can easily take them off. Joys of having a mechanic as a best mate. Modded up most of my other cars. Will be totally clear of debt in 2 years. Have no other loans, including student, and dont even have an overdraft. lol. So...
Yeah i know what you mean. But if im going to keep it for another 2 years then want to make it bit better, so i can do stuff like take it to track days. Like get some coilovers and decent tyres on it. Dont mean stupid drive it through halfords with superglue on it mods. Just a few well worth...
Dont think i can do that. Anyway, not really in a rush to pay it off. But may look into it. Plus wheres the fun in not spending money on your car?!! Whole point off them. Cars are me hobby, always spent money on them.
True. Dunno what to do. Might just keep the 1.6 and spend some money on it. To be hoenst perfectly happy with it. But want a 182. If i spend bit on it to make it look better and go faster be even happier with it. Plus it makes more sense and wont be getting into silly amounts of debt.
Thank you...
Ok what if i get a £10k loan for 3years at £302 a month. Which i can do easily. Then pay of my 1.6 and the negative equity i already owe. Then with the remaining £5k by a 172? Be clear by the time i leave uni. Have no outstanding debs and have a clean slate to go for a 192.
Yeah edde see what you mean. What i might do then is wait then and clear the 1.6 off. Then get the 192. Will be out of uni by then and when i get my proper job and have settled down get the 192.
Right now im paying £258 on my 1.6, plus £120 insurance. That £750 is entirely dipsoable income. Will be at uni for another 3yrs, and certainly no reason why ill be moving out. So financial situation wont change. No reason to leave sainsburys. And if i do that sort of job is easily aquired.
Yeah i can to be honest. Real renault nut, and 182 is all i want. Been paying more than that amount for the last 2 years any way and perfectly happy doing it. If i cleared the 1.6 and got a second hand 182. Only be 15k in debt. Which is nearly what im in now. And can easily manage that. Got no...
I currently owe £13000 on my 1.6, as had a 1.2 before it and had some negative equity on it. Want to trade up to a 182 in november when im 21 and have had the 1.6 for a year. Should get about £6500-7500 for the 1.6 as it will have about 8000miles on it. So leaves me with about £5500. Should i...
For both of my new clios i have had follow up calls and accident packs. Never really had any problems. Occasionally you have to chase them a bit. But other than that been perfectly happy with the service i recieved buying my clios.
Has anyone got one? or know what ther like. Do very little driving outside of my town and is only one fixed camera in the whole place, so cant really justify £300 for a road angel 2, however cool they are.
Thanks for your help,
Mike
I have same car as you in this colour. looks amazing. Will try and get some pics up for you, but going to be sunday night at the earliest im afraid mate, as it needs washing and im working all weekend so wont have chance to do it till sunday. Not putting it up dirty!! lol.
Yeah i noticed that. Loads of cars ive seen that dont have the name of the garage they came from on the plate. Old and new. My dads M reg Saab has just the numbers on it, as does my brothers M reg R5. So maybe its a newish thing? Is a pain.
Thank you ukaskew and Brun. Just what i wanted. My current plate only has Swan renault on it, not there post code. This mean there illegal? Think im going to leave the renault logo out and just stick with the renault sport at the bottom, as it will be very hard to spot it when im going along. So...
Well the font looks pretty standard to me. Is block capitals, no shadow, tilting or anything like that, and the spacing is standard. Thought you couldnt do both white. Just checking. On one of the searches i did found the MOT requirements for number plates, and it didnt say anything about having...
Done a search but cant find what i want to know. Firstly can you make both the front and back white? or is that illegal. Also can you put a logo on them? or is that illegal to. Looking at www.fancyplates.com and want them with font 2, the renault border, and clio at the bottom, with renaultsport...
Well several of my friends have 2ltrs and say its made no difference. Will try it on my 182 when i get it in 3 months, but personally im yet to be convinced.
To be honest mate nnormal 95-96ron stuff is fine. Some will say they find there car runs better on it, but ive tried both and really cant say i notice a difference.
Yeah i have it on mine. Is called Ottoman blue. Was a megane colour, but they dropped it out on the non rs clios this year. Is just slightly dark than the mondial blue. Love it.
Did have a r5 lowered 60mm before my clios, so used to having my spine mauled. lol. Would go for the trophy, but dont really like the colour of them. Sat in one at festival of speed though and they are nice. Have to see if theres any left when i come to get one. Thanks for your replies though...
Will be getting my 182 in next few months and just had a few questions. Firstly i want both cup packs. Have people been able to get the cup packs at no extra cost? Or will they not budge on that. Secondly im considering the recaro seat option. Is it worth it? and again have people been getting...
Ok. thats what im thinking to. Cause if its rubbish, sure there still be some 182s about. But got to wait all that extra time. But been waiting for 3 years, so guess a few more months wont hurt. lol.
Looking to get a new 182 in the next few months. However as the new RS will be out next summer should i wait to see what thats like or get a 182? What do you reckon?
Ok. But still in real world times 0.9 of a second isnt really that much. But then as already said the astra isnt really in the 182s class, surely that would be the megane 225. The corsa vxr is the 182s true competition. And i know which one id rather have.
Sorry if im being stupid here, but the 182 has a 0-60 time of 6.6 secs, and the vxr has a 0-60 time of 6.2. So thats 0.4 of a second. Id hardly call that a large difference, and for 7k. 0.4secs for 7k..... Surely you could use some of that saved 7k to get some performance driving lessons, and...
