the 182 price will drop just as quickly as the 172 price, if anything I'd say you are better off getting the 172, as the 182 will end up losing you more money, you would be better off saving the money and keeping it, or spending it on extras for the car. With your budget you should be able to get a mint 172 with low(ish) miles and change.

I agree with R20GRC the 182 has started to drop now, and will continue to with the new MK3 RS coming out later in the year.

I also have a Mk2 Silver Clio.

I agree with Mark

The only thing i would say about the 172 in silver is that i think the 172 wheels suit a silver clio, but i also like the look of the silver 182s with the anthracite wheels.

Get a liquid yellow 182! They're the best, colour is beautiful!! I love mine, costs a bomb, but so worth it!

Yeah, i love the colour of Titanium but not so much Iceberg, no offence anyone, also with the launch of the new clio the Mk2's prices are dropping all the time

I'm confused...why does silver work on a 172...and not a 182?

Apart from the wheels/seatbelts/headlights...they're identical cars...

I can see I difference in the silver between 172 and 182 and much prefer the Iceberg that the 172 came in - IMO the 182 silver colour (titanium?) is more 'ordinary', if you know what I mean (no offence intended!).

Still not as nice as Monaco Blue though ;)

P.S. Turn the fecking caps lock off

LUV THE FIRST PICTURE AS WELL, oops sorry caps lock on :)

182 in silver doesn't look so good but your 172 looks sweeet!

Not as nice as a Phase 1 in black with all the Phase 2 Cup trimmings though;-)

I'd get the newest car you can stretch to. If your planning mods the 172 makes sense I guess. But those on here that have owned both full fat 172 and 182s have said the 182 is a better car to drive - something to think about if it's staying stock.

liquid yellow 182 with MK2 172 wheels, remember that french dude on here with them, looked the nuts! (his was a french MK2 172 which came in liquid yellow over there he also added recaros then later wasted it imo with anthracite turinis)

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 opinion crusie control is somethin you won't use that much anyway . As to the colour , i don't think there is a bad un , they all look good when they've just had a wash n polish especially .

Some colours just need the above alot more often than others!
 
I have a 172 but if I was buying onee I would get a 182 with Cup Packs - the extra spoilers and wheels etc are worth it - plus it will be newer, have more warranty left (important with renaults!) definately have cruise control (only the very latest 172's had crusie) plus 10bhp more etc. Mine is silver and I know what you mean about the 172 silver being better than the 182 but I would have had a 182 in either inferno or the dark blue (like the 172 cup roughly) - good luck deciding
