Jay - if youre at a UK Dealer you do have the pictures and details

Sales say they havent got any pictures of it yet.

Would I be able to fit the wheels from a Cup version onto the 182 as the 182s are bigger, or is the difference too much? I would prefer the Cup wheels but I dont want to lose performance from having to choose a smaller tyre because of it.

The 182 wheels are just a bit wider so it wouldnt make any difference to performance although they are poss a different offset which may affect handling slightly.

the driver told me that the new shape comes out in feburary so whats the point in this? The new shape is supposed to have the same arse end as the senic and megane

The new shape clio is due for release sometime in 2005 but as off yet renault havent released any official pictures yet(although some unofficial pictures have been in some magazines)

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

The wheels are the same width and diamter as the wheels fitted to the 172 and the 172 Cup. The difference is the offset - 38 for the 172 Cup, 48 for the 182 and 45 for the 182 with the Cup suspension option.

 

[paddymph]

Cheers for the info Jeremy, is there any more official pictures available yet?

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

The other pics are the same quality as the ones youve seen. Im waiting for better pics taken outside soon.

he must have ment the 182

 

[rocca]

Go to Renault.com they have just relesed a press release it answers all your question

 

[king.stromba]

 

[Scudetto]

jeremy - sorry if this is a daft question, but what is reno trying to achieve with the 182 apart from being faster. ie. is the engine more flexible, or torquier, tractable etc, is the handling going to be more precise and so on, or is it simply a nip, a tuck and about 10bhp more?

ourtright oomph excluded, what were the objectives behind the revisions from a technical/driving point of view (not ...to give the Clio fresh appeal etc)

g

 

[Tom]

lol

g even you know the answer to that

click on 206 gti 180

 

[Scudetto]

youre probably right Tom, but I hope Jeremy has some other sound reasons. I meant the questions genuinely, not to have a pop at reno.

[Jas]

Surely any increase in specification/performance of any car for the same price can only be a good thing?

 

[Scudetto]

i like to hope so - i just hope it hasnt changed the character of the engine too much; its very good as it is and to lose any of its qualities for the sake of 10bhp would be a shame.

[Chris n nic]

Mmmm anthracite wheels!

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Well I think we need to drive it first !

 

[Dash]

Good thinking Jeremy, and a note to Jas to increase the field for Jeremys profile.

Cup and a 172 in blue and a 182 but got to be Black

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

No, its got to be a Black 182...

 

[specialK]

hmmmmm !!!

clio 3 comes out in 2005,182 sometime next year i think

 

[Seymour]

i know this isnt bout the 182 but its about the new clios coming out next year. the new dynamique model. are they still gonna be in the same colour because i heard that they were now coming with a painted rear spoiler?

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

They have a painted rear spoiler (like the current 172) and come in new colours

 

[cliopower]

dam it! the new dynamique has brushed alu door handles, sports spoiler, new bumpers, new trim and a new sliding electric sunroof (must cure the rattle) I hope it looks worse than the current one or im not going to be happy. Theres the renault sport logo on the side sills of the 182 and it now has even wider wings ffs!

 

[Tom]

Wider wings?

No mate.

And the R sport logo is on all 172s now

 

[jon_r]

where is this r sport logo?

 

[Tom]

On the sil plates there is a renault sport logo isnt there?

Most 172s ive seen has them

 

[jon_r]

oh that one, right!!! duh

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

The 2004 Dynamique does have aluminium interior door handles and fascia inserts, new seat trim and light grey seat belts. Outside it has a new front bumper, a coloured rear spoiler (like the 172), 15" versions of the alloy wheels fitted to the 172. The electric sunroof continues to be optional. The wings havent changed on either the Dynamique or 182.

 

[Seymour]

Do u know if they are still gonna use the same colours or are they starting again with new colours cause i want that painted rear spoiler. anyone got any pics of the new front bumper for the dynamique?

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

The rear spoiler is the same as fitted to a 2003 Dynamique, just painted body-colour.

 

[Dyewitness]

Any pics of the new dynamique Jeremy?

 

[JAY172]

your pm is full jeremy

the air dam at the bottom - about it really. I wonder what the back is like. the alloys are the same as mine - i dont think that has changed

 

[paddymph]

lights have silver surround like a TT now

Have a 172 on order which arrives this week and have just cancelled it to order a 182. Have got the new price list from the Renault dealer and its confirmed at £14600 but metallic paint is now an option £300! There is no CD Changer, that is still an option and there are 2 Clio Cup option packs. One is front and rear spoiler £150 and the other is the sports suspension and anthracite wheels £200. The car can be ordered next week and will be released for delivery at the beginning of January. Am ordering one with the spoiler and suspension pack and probably metallic paint depending of which colour looks best. The Racing Blue is the only solid colour but I havent seen that nor the Black Gold yet, only the Artic Blue and Titanium. Also saw the new advert at the cinema last night and it looks the nuts so cant wait to be one of the first to own it! Only bummer is that the dealer has only offered me £600 off, but thats not bad for a car that hasnt even been released I guess. One other thing though and thats that the 172 Cup is continuing and features in the new price list?

 

[Dash]

Dave. Would you have a copy of the latest price list. I can only find one list on the net from ukcarbroker etc. http://www.ukcarbroker.co.uk/renaultclio.htmhttp://www.ukcarbroker.co.uk/renaultclio.htm

[172@18]
