As far as i know Renault dont do them but no doubt somebody out there will knock one up.
As an alternative you could always buy a Blink 182 badge and tipex out the Blink
I know clio 182 has some he had made up which look good. I have just got a cup adge on the rear of mine which I prefer.

why does it matter?? Anybody who knows enough about cars to recognise a 182 is going to know that its not a proper Cup. For the rest of the people who dont know what a 182 is, its just going to look like a silly little silver badge stuck to the back.... either way it doesnt make any odds.
while I said I wasnt going to entertain the comment I do take offence to that, it actually looks like standard spec and doesnt look silly and stuck on, its a proper renault badge and looks that way. You havent seen it so cant really comment.
Whether I should have it on there is another argument and I will happily argue my corner to death if anybody would like to PM me, just not willing to do it on the forum.
Hey, Im not arguing whether or not you should have it there. I dont give a flying f**k!! Its your car, do with it as you please!!
BTW, I have seen it. On your car and many others. Its just my opinion. And Im entitled to it. If you want to badge your car up as something its not, feel free.......

Poll:
How many Cup owners purchased the car for what it is?:
How many purchased it because its cheaper?:
I only know of a few members who have answered this one honestly.
Ive said this before if the 172 and Cup had cost the same Id have still bought the Cup. If you chose a 172 over a Cup you will never understand why.
182 & LY Clio 220 ed
I bought the cup, because I liked the look of it, and I couldnt get the 172 standard in Mondial blue...I admit I would like Alcantara trim, but then I also like the appeal of the cup, its a toy without any of the luxuries/necessities (delete as appropriate) Its not meant to be a standard 172 and the standard 172 is not a cup. Its each to their own, and both sides will have their pros and cons. I didnt buy the cup as a cheaper option, I bought it as an option which I felt suited me better.
clio182, you rattled his cage, I told you not the feed the animals!
and if there is no such thing as a 182 cup then why did i waste £350 of my money giving my car better handling and looks than the 172 cup with CUP PACKS, not add on packs but CUP PACKS?
I mean, thats all Renault have done to you car, stripped out the 172 and added some cup packs included in the price. Mine is essentially a 172 with a few more horses and the same cup packs added on.
Our cars are essentially the same, mine is just has better handling, better grip, better spec and the same pedigree, the renault cup race series to which both of out cars are related.
I have no problem with the cup, it is a fantastic car, but get over yourself, it is not as special as you make out, its no williams! Its just another model in a long list and has been bettered now, are you under some illusion that you car will never be bettered or something, keep dreamin boy.
In a year or twos time there will be a replacement to mine, I am not going to try and argue that mine is still better, the idea is that cars evolve and get better, thats how car manufacturers make money by getting people to buy the new improved model.
I will just buy that new model rather than arguing all the time. People have reasons for going with the 172 cup and i respect those, it just isnt the king anymore thats all, theres a new kid on the block.

How can it be a cup badge if it says 182 ?
Its a badge that says 182 because there is no 182 Cup.If it says 182 Cup then thats another discussion but it doesnt.
What would look nice though would be the door plate.IMO it would look smart if it said 182 instead of 2.0 16v.Also it would look better if it were in anthracite for these who went for the cup suspension option and as it is now for these who prefer standard.It looks out of place in silver against the anthracite alloys.
