This has been done loads mate, recently, try a search

182 cup or 182 with cup pack has different suspension from the non cup 182 (silver wheels). The 182 cup (or with cup suspension) has stronger hubs and slightly lower suspension and is easier to get updgraded suspension for.

I'll leave the specs to other people but this is a good reason not to buy a non cup IMO having owned one for 3.5 years lol

ive tryd searching for answers but cant find many.
Realy i would like a 182 cup but at the end of the day it comes down to money i have £6500-£6700 max to spend on a car, am i wasteing my time looking for a 182 cup for this kind of money?

 

[rory182]

No you'll get an 04 / 54 plate full spec 182 with cup packs for that money easily. I sold mine for circa £6750 in November with 37k miles on it.

 

[veaney]

you will be able to get a decent 172 with low mileage also for that money 03 reg

yeh i did think about the 172 but realy want the 182 i supose i will have to keep saving or think about a different car

 

[rory182]

you don't need to keep saving thats plenty money for a 182, trust me!

 

[S80 BEY]

not a factory cup tho sorry forgot to write "cup" at the end of 182 lol

There's a RB 182 forsale on here for £6k straight. Highish miles but still!

182 Cups are cheaper than 182's FF with Cup packs.

 

[S80 BEY]

sorry but what is a RB 182 and a 182 FF ? whats the difference?

 

[rory182]

factory cup? you're not getting it mate. a 182 cup from the factory has dynamique seats and no xenon headlights, air con instead of climate control, it's a cheaper spec.

You can buy full spec 182 with cup options from the factory, the vast majority of 182's have cup options.

Racing Blue 182 (colour)
Full Fat 182 (not the cup)

 

[S80 BEY]

right so i want 1 with the spoilers wheels and suspension what is that called?

 

[rory182]

182 cup or 182 with cup suspension pack and cup spoiler pack.

yeh i did think about the 172 but realy want the 182 i supose i will have to keep saving or think about a different car

why the 172 cup is the b****cks and the 182 cup is a cheap pointless 182

if your getting a clio get a 172 cup or a 182 with both cup packs

182 none cuped packed cars aren't that difficult at all infact can be easier since its just 172 suspension setup realy with a wider offset.

why the 172 cup is the b****cks and the 182 cup is a cheap pointless 182

The 182 Cup was a cut price 172 equivalent type car since cars by this time had to have ABS and it sold well why do you think its such a waste its a better car in some respects an the one I'd buy given the chocie of a 182 cup or a 172 cup.

 

[Munson]

LOL at the 182Cup being a "cheap pointless 182"

It's as much fun as a 182FF and still has plenty of 'toys' for such a cheap car. The FF is nicer inside, but it's still a Clio, and suffers from all, and more, of the same problems that most of them do. It's a cheap 182, yes, but is it pointless? Only if you think half leather seats and a Casio climate system in a shopping trolley, elevate you to god status

Try melting steering wheels, buzzing climate fans, whistling windscreens, and leaking xenon washer jets as something to add to the potential list of problems. The 182FF is the better choice for sure, but the Cup is far from pointless

182 Cups are not pointless. Roy sums it up nicely
