Buying advice (182)

[chizzy]

Hi

Is it unusual for a 182 to have the cup rear spoiler and not the front splitter?Im looking at a car and this is the case,

Also is there anything else i should look out for in particular,

Thanks for you help!

The Cup spoiler and splitter are an option. Couple of hundred quid more.

 

[chizzy]

Yes, I know!!!



But the car in question has the rear spoiler but NOT the splitter on the front?

Does this seem strange?

no as renault forget to put them on, they also get ripped of too, were is the car ??

Sorry, misread it.

It could have been ripped off on a kerb or more likely the dealer never fitted it in the first place. There have been a lot of members whos cars didnt come with them attached, or they were still on the back seat.

probably smashed off (hit a curb parking)

but theyre about £80 from Renault!!!! expensive for a bit of plastic!!!!!

as far as i know, the Spoiler pack on the 182 includes both

what colour are the wheels???

are the exhaust pipes sitting straight in the rear bumper cut outs???

look for damage around the filler flap (chipped paint etc)



check all pannel gaps



listen for knocks and bangs when nailing it in 1st gear, and also when turning on full lock (not at the same time obviously!!!! i mean in 2 different circumstances!!!)

if its from a garage check the mechanics cars, youll find your one on one of them.

It has the suspension pack and the dark alloys!

The panels are all mint bar 1/2 stone chips, exhaust pipes are central.

No banging, I did try having heard of the o/s mount prob.

The other negative was a few bits of peeled paint arount the upper brake light in the spoiler, having enquired at Renault though they say its could be done under warranty.

Car was near Liverpool as well.

It seems hit & miss m8. The wifes 05 plate 182 didnt come with it from the Renault garage, despite having both Cup packs installed. My 54 plate 182 came with it on though....????

Were chasing this up with Renault at the moment....

I looked at a second hand 182 at a renault dealer in croydon and the front spilter was on the back seat.

incase someone nicked it i reckon.
