Can't keep away....LY 182

[Nat8701]

So been into RenaultSports for years now.... Had plenty of 1*2s and sold my last RB 182ff beginning of this year. After my BG I assumed the RB would be my last.. My fave colour and finally out of my system... Then this happened...

LY 182 both cup packs

Was in Essex, miles away from Manchester but I knew I had to buy it. Put deposit down and booked train tickets for the following weekend.. The dealer priced it high but I took with me price I was willing to pay and the deal was done.

Immaculate is an understatement. Took me 2 weeks adjust to the colour and attention... Slowly getting used to it.

Few bits I have done..

I took the yozza off as it was too loud for me. Replaced it with a new rs192 resonated system.. Still sounds great just much quieter.

Managed to get a fresh coated set of cup turinis from Chi in Liverpool and had new Michelin tyres ready to go on.

Fitted new smaller plate to the front and currently waiting on rear plate to arrive. New RS style badge also ready to go on.

Fitted carbon engine mounts and removed the yellow door bullets to replace with standard,needed break the yellow up lol
Also have smaller arial to fit.

Fitted battery cover

The tints..I'm still 50/50.

No other plans, interior is like new, no cracks or signs of wear on the seats and firm... Totally faultless

Even came with 2x keys and standard splitter !! Lol

Don't plan on using it much.. Mainly weekends I have a mk7 fiesta ZS that I use for daily.

Looks like this today...

Looks ace.

 

[Knuckles]

That looks brilliant!

I'd put the yellow bullets back on, but that's just personal preference.

Lol at the plate, gf fkd

 

[Sesqui89]

Looks incredible! LY and RB are the colours to have imo (not that I'm biased)

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Looks lovely Nat :up:

 

[imprezaworks]

Love this colour.

A nice ly or rb would sway me back i think

 

[cs_dave]

Very nice that looks mint agree ly bullets ftw lol

 

[Gus]

Love that car. Is this the car that was up for 3995 and then a day or two later the dealer increased the price to 4995 ?

 

[Nat8701]

Yes I got it less than the 4k, we agreed the amount within an hour of the advert. Not sure why he increased it tbh, he said he entered wrong amount,got 12 months MOT and 6 months warranty too.

the paint on the bullets was peeling and in the flesh the colour wasn't a perfect match.. My OCD wouldn't allow me to leave it.

I still miss my RB and currently waiting to find the right one to buy. Love LY just not as much as RB...yet!

Thanks guys

 

[Gally]

Lovely purchase. You can't help but appreciate an LY 182, utterly beautiful colour.

 

[Nat8701]

@Knuckles i seem to get the plates lol...
My RB .....

 

[Matthew]

Very nice! Lose the tints though and the wheels would look really nice in silver.

 

[Nat8701]

Thought silver.but wanted dark for over winter, may change them summer time.

 

[jamesycc]

Gorgeous. Love LY.

 

[Darren61]

LY is such an awesome colour. I agree with the other comments. Get rid of the tints, bullets back to silver and definatley in the summer get the wheels back to silver

Swap you my RB 182? ;-)

 

[StuOwen86]

I like the silver bullets lol only thing i'm not sure about is the yellow pipes in the engine bay other than that looks a nice car whats the mileage on I'm not far from Manchester myself lol I thought that last picture was in the local tesco underground car park at first lol then seen your in Manchester.

 

[Nat8701]

That was walkden tesco today, bullets back silver see above lol and like the dark grey wheels.

The engine bay is immacualte. The added yellow brightens it up

 

[Typhoon]

Beautiful! Welcome back to the French side!

 

[Daz.]

Being ultra picky the wheels need to be a couple of shades lighter and it needs the bumper stickers but apart from that to use an old phrase it looks spov!

 

[Cub.]

Looks great!

Bumper stickers ?????

 

[StuOwen86]

Didn't think the 182 had bumper stickers, thought it was only the 197 F1 that had the bumper stickers.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Love LY, sounds like you've got a cracking example.

Its the little black inserts below the grille. Looks like Nat has already sorted this since purchasing.

Nope they was already on, pic from dealer could be bad angle.

 

[Nat8701]

 

[Amos91]

Weird, they are do look too long in the dealer pic! Must be the angle then.

 

[Nat8701]

Strange the engine still starts and the car drives a dream....

 

[McGherkin]

Yeah, I just did a sex wee. LY Clios are the best.

 

[Nat8701]

Stil prefer the RB myself

This is growing on me though.

Sorted

 

[Daz.]

Dealer picture definitely didn't have the stickers on!

No worries either way is it. A sticker or two.. Doesn't affect the drive of the car. No issue.

 

[Nat8701]

Few more pics after winter protection.

 

[Sam]

Looks a good motor. Need some better pictures though.

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Lovely car. Loved my LY.

 

[Mr Plums]

[lordyjordy]
