I've had this a few months now, not got round to putting some photos up.
I am loving it so far, i am averaging 22mpg but i didn't buy it for its economy. It is such a solid car to drive and the dsg box is amazing, i wasn't sure about this at first but glad I've got it now.
Just replaced the...
With the weather being reasonable yesterday i got the PB Blackhole out and gave the car a good going over, then a coat of wax. Comes up alright as its just clocked over 80k. What wax would the detailing guys suggest thats long lasting for BG and not mega money?
Heres a couple of photos...
Gave my 182 a clean this morning, nothing much new just keeping it clean and tidy really.
Getting a carbon front diamond in the next week or so, then when my standard exhaust decides to fall apart ill get a SS system to replce it.
Photos nothing special, just took a few on my Blackberry.
Was up at & this morning giving my car a good going over ready for tomorrow.
Bought some Poorboys Blackhole and poorbpys shampoo the other day so gave that ago, am really impressed, the Blackhole was only applied by hand and its came up quite nice.
Then gave it a coat of Meguiars wax.
Did the...
Finally got round to getting some photos together of my 182.
I've had it since just before xmas and loving it so far, its standard apart from Eibach sportlines and a plate to fit the recess on the front.
Plans, well maybe get an exhaust system but nothing to loud as on my previous 182 i had...
Here's a few pictures of my 172 Cup. Had it a couple of months now, got it looking pretty much how i want it to.
But ive started to look at BG 182's recently and they are pretty cheap, but the Cup will do for the time being.
Excuse the photos my camera battery died so...
spotted trophy it had v5 or v6 startinbg the number plate.
Also a 200 which had a black roof, was white but looked different to the normal white 197/200's.
Ive had my Cup about 3 weeks now, i sold my RB 182 to release a bit of cash as im now a student again.
Its changed a fair bit since i picked it up, ive changed;
Wheels to Turinis
All new engine mounts, with powerfelx dogbone mount
New brakes
Splitter
New exhaust
New suspension all round...
i have just fitted new front discs and pad to my 172 cup, but now my front passenger side locks up under hard braking, not really hard braking just firm braking, but my drivers side does not lock up?
what could be the cause of this?
thoughs welcome
thanks

Went for a little drive this afternoon, tryed to find some new picture locations.
Not done much to the car in the past 3months, im getting a private plate in the next month, and then i will be on the look out for some new seats. (Cup pov spec ftl)
Nothing special just a few shots...
Gave the 182 a bit of a spruce up over that past few days. Ive had a few car park dents took out and its as good as new now, really liking it at the moment!
Also I fitted my new style Renault Sport badge on the back, much better now and makes the car look a bit more modern!
Heres a few...
Over the past few weeks ive been falling out of love with my 182, so i thought i would go for a drive and take a few photos to try and make me love it a bit more.
Just drove to a few local spots, mainly industrial estates really!
Comments welcome.

i have H&R coilovers on my 182 cup, they have now covered about 35k, and there feeling a bit loose, was thinking about getting a rebuild.
how much am i looking at? were is the best place to go?
cheers george
Right ive had my RB for about a year know and its changed quite a bit, wish i had started this when i got the car bit hey ho.
I bought the car in april 2009 from a chap who is on here, the car already had on it H & R coilovers, speedline 2118's and brembo grooved discs. The previous owner did...
Been doing a bit of work to the RB over the past few weeks, first i swapped my 2118's with Dan of here for these Trophy Turinis.
Then i got these 182ff Xenons headlights which look so much better than the bog spec one i had before.
Tommy g of here did my bullets, dash strips and gear knob...
if you have standard 172/182 xenon headlights, is it possible to upgrade the bulbs ballast and starter packs with say 6k set?
so you would discard the standard ballast bulbs and packs?
is this just a case of swaping the bulbs and ballast over?
cheers george
The RB was very dirrty as ive done a few miles in it this week, been up to sheffield shopping and bits and bobs!
So gave it a clean then drove 8miles into leicester and it was filthy again, but took a few pics as i was there anyway!
Got my carbon dimond on a few weeks ago and bought some...
Gave the RB a wash this afternoon, and as the weather wasnt to bad went for a drive in the countryside!
Not really too sure what else to do to it at the moment, suggestions?
Want to get a few carbon fibre bits in a few weeks!
George
how much do you think these are worth?
they are in mint condition, its just im thinking of selling my car and if i did i would sell these separatly!
Cheers George
