cups are sports too.

FF (all the toys) with cup packs is the way to go.

Yeah, you're looking for a 182 Full Fat with both (suspension and spoiler) Cup Packs ideally.

Lol !!

Yea found that a bit weird !

Yea i would want both cup packs but have noticed ( correct me if im wrong) the cup /sport difference being the seats etc. Much prefer the sports seats(not recaro). Digging the racing Blue but the black/artic would be 2nd choice. Having read other threads about differences i take it there is no difference between 04/54/05/55 plate modles bar the reg and warrnty etc?

I used to drive a 1.4 pug so this would be quitea difference but am gagging on gettting 182 with cup packs.

what do you make of the ones i posted links for?

 

[suckmykiss]

if u get a 182 cup it will have the crappy 1.2 seats no xenons climate etc. but has revised suspension and bigger spoilers plus front splitter and anthracite wheels but if go for a 182 with all the toys the spoilers and the suspension changes were an extra charge option.

 

[suckmykiss]

so u get the benifit of the beter looking and handling cup but with all the toys leather seats etc.

 

[Paddyhmfc]

rite thanks. Ideas on how much one of those with fairly low miles would set me back or what i could be looking to get for about 7-7.5k ?

cheers

 

[suckmykiss]

worlds your oyster for that much mate. loads out there

 

[Paddyhmfc]

Yea. Have seen lots on pistonheads/autotrader. The first one i posted link to seems ok and the guy inclides 12 months warranty. Not sure if it has the cup packages (say xeons/climate etc in the spec)

Do you think that car represents good value ? Its the closest iv found near to were i live and is within my range

 

[suckmykiss]

not sure bout that one. got the antracite whells wich should mean its got the cup suspension but looks to be to high. and it hasnt got the cup spoilers. wich makes it look gay

 

[Paddyhmfc]

Sure. Would liek the car to have the cup packs for obv reasons. Seem to be a few on piston heads in racing blue. Should i be worried about the numebr of previous owners? Any other tips/ things to look out for

[Gym thread]

[Paddyhmfc]

Thanks for the help so far. Yea i realise there are many options out there. But have decided to look fora Racing Blue with cup packs preferably. And again spending no more than 7-8k. Low miles etc. If you come accross any in the next few days/weeks please PM or post. Live near edinburgh so local would be ideal but willing to travel if need be.

Cheers

Is there a way to identify that the cup suspension pack has been fitted (apart from the different wheels, which could have been fitted afterwards), and the seller isn't just talking out of his hoop?

 

[suckmykiss]

apart from it looking a bit lower im not sure

 

[edde]

Get the wheels on full lock and check the distance form the center of the two bolts holding the shock to the hub if its 60mm then its cup packed if its 54 its not.


Read the buyers guide though
