Danny p off this forum has an 04 plate 172.
If its not got the twin exhausts then its a 172.

We need pics really, but the 172's and 182's were both available on an 04 plate.

 

[Fletcher]

Get some pics up.

If its a bright sparkly silver (titanium) than its a 182.

If its a flatter, more bluey silver (Iceburg) its a 172.

 

[Revels]

What colour are the seatbelts?

 

[Da]

If it's this one then it's a un-cupped 182.

that is the very one m8.so its a 182? do uz think its reasonable priced from the ad?

 

[Da]

Seems a decent price yeah, just make sure the 5 year/72k service has been done as it includes the belts and is pricey!

It's 100% a 182

 

[gary200]

cool,a man in the know cheers!!

im going for a look at it 2moro with him,anything else i should look out for

 

[Da]

Just the usual - look for ware and tare on the seats, steering wheels are prone to melting through use. Make sure the aux belt was changed at 3 years/36k, although that'll be replaced at the 5year service.
There's a buyers guide on here, 2 mins I'll link you up pal.

[gary200]

spot on cheers m8,ill keep u posted on how we get on

 

[gary200]

just spoke to a guy that said he knows the car and is a 172 modded to look like a 182,not sure if he is talking sense tho

 

[Da]

Trust me, it's a 182 unless they've changed the seat belts, the seats, the headlights, the wheels...you get the idea
The colour looks like Titanium which was only available on the 182 model.

You got a reg for it Gary?

 

[Bluebeard]

If the bloke thinks its a 172 modded to look like a 182, let him carry on. More room for negotiation!

 

[gary200]

yeah i think ur probably right,l think it looks like a 182 tbh

 

[clio carl]

defo not a 172 mate DA talks sense imo, they only do 182's in titanium and it looks like a titanium to me pal, the guy is feeding u sh+t and i would be very wary and follow the guide as DA says

 

[gary200]
