172/182, You Decide!

[Beef-Mc]

Anyone want to help me out with what this car is, dealer claims it's an 05 182, however in the pics it has 172 wheels, 182 rear exhaust but a Cup interior :S

Anyone shed some light on it?

 

[mini-valver]

Look like dynamique 15's and dynamique interior. The cup interior has no pattern IIRC....

Cup spoiler but no splitter too.. Hmmmmmm

 

[Dave J]

182 cup by the looks of things as its got the spoiler but with 172 wheels on it for some reason.. Previous owner probably took the 182 cup wheels off, sold them and replaced with aftermarket, and then to return it back to standard, just got 172 wheels for it.

 

[Coby.]

182 Cup then maybe

 

[Ross M]

but it has the headlight washers on the front bumper ?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Cup's didn't come in black as far as I'm aware either.

 

[Coby.]

Its got a FF Steering Wheel aswell, May have been stripped out and parts sold so then put back to 1 piece as cheaply as possible hence Crap Interior and 172 Wheels

 

[Ross M]

get the reg for it and put it into that rac thingy ?

 

[lil_jack05]

you could get a insurance quote on the internet when it askes for its reg put it in and the spec and model will come up .

 

[Beef-Mc]

Can't find the reg on Arnold Clark's site. They've blanked the plates for some reason.

 

[lewisniven]

do a hpi, may of been crashed and had various bits replaced on the cheap?

or the brevious owner b45tardised it and sold all the bits off, very odd...

Looks like a black 182FF that has been stripped when sold.

Has Dynamique wheels and interior.

 

[Ross M]

take a drive past ? is it local ?

 

[Ross M]

30,000 miles ... £7998

4 previous owners

30,000 miles ... £7998

4 previous owners

Minus cost of new interior ~£3000 ?

Minus cost of new wheels and tyres ~£1000 ?

Minus cost of Cup splitter ~£150 ?

 

[Beef-Mc]

I was thinking along those lines, 4 owners on a car that's only a copuple of years old.

Not a clue about it, might try and pop down in a bit, see if I can find it.

The dynamique interior is also the same as the 182 cups. The 172 cups have no pattern on the seat.

Strangely, it has climate controll. Although you find dynamiques and other models with it, its on the fulfat models.



Go view it if you want it, and check for the spare wheel well.

It's a FF with Dynamique interior and wheels. Bet you £200. You couldn't get a 182 cup in black, it also has climate and xenons.

 

[mini-valver]

I said it first. I win. lol

 

[nth]

Probly was crashed. . .dont buy it imo (if you were)
same interior as my car (dynam)
172ff wheels
182ff steering wheel
Cup Spoiler

Just Mixed and matched lol

 

[JoelDee]

If I was to guess i'd say 182 cup

 

[cat171]

It's a complete mish-mash of parts that's for sure !

 

[quikshine]

weird!

 

[Silverfox]

I wouldn't buy that... way too many uncertainties surrounding it. I'd look for another if I were you...

 

[-Leigh-]

Probly was crashed. . .dont buy it imo (if you were)
same interior as my car (dynam) Probs swapped with a mate
172ff wheels Look like 15's not 16's
182ff steering wheel Probs original
Cup Spoiler Cup packs

Just Mixed and matched lol

Me and mini valver are right, I bet!!

That had a respray, climate and xenons fitted?

 

[timmyd]

Up to you mate but i wouldnt buy it, there is plenty of decent 172 and 182 up for sale for good prices and that are in good condition

 

[-Leigh-]

Too right, I wouldn't buy it, it's over priced for a car without parts missing, let alone that one.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Nah, wasn't planning on buying it, but when I saw the mismatch of parts I wondered if any of you guys could work out what had happened to it!

 

[C.J]

Am i right in saying a 2005 could only have been a 182?
And the 182 Cup didn't come in black?

So, it pretty much has to be a 182FF + strange add-ons.

Correct its black gold so has to be a 182

182 Cups didn't come in black so it was a full fat 182 with at least cup spoiler pack although the splitter is obviously missing

No easy way of checking if it has cup suspension without measuring bolt spacing

 

[Marky_]

Grey 182 xenons as well.

 

[Dan Page]

I would say thats been crashed and had bits soured off all different cars to sort it.

Either that or the last owner modded it all and sold the bits on and to put it back to standard sourced all the bits from different cars.

 

[Beef-Mc]

I think I might head down tommorrow after handing my essays in.

See if I can ask the salesman some awkward questions

 

[-Leigh-]

Money on it being stripped by the previous chav owner selling the wheels and interior for drug money.

 

[dandycaptain]

Well I'd rather buy this than that BG 182 that cropped up on PH recently with the four exhausts...

 

[B16DOE]

182 cup i reckon

 

[mini-valver]

FFS. You're either blind or stupid.

 

[gazbenger]

Its got 182 xenons on.

 

[DrR]

I don't think there 172 wheels. They look to small.
