Few Pics of my new 182...

[Dubai182]

Hi Guys/Girls,
Sorry about the quality,took them at work on my W800. For all you keen eyed people, yes the front splitter is missing, the dealer forgot to attach it a)because it was put in another clio and b) they hadn't a clue what it was,lol.

Oh and this one as its of one of my favourite cars ever. A good friend owns it and it is extremely rapid!!

Planned mods are an ITG panel which is on the way courtesy of Yaser also looking at getting some pro race 1.2's soon. Then after 6 months or so start modfying the suspension. Yaser has also kindly given me a decat pipe which requires a little work but i'm game!. Hope you like the car. Last note to self... i've picked the worst colour ever to have in a country full of sand,lol

[CHRIS172CUP]

Waiting list...not for a resident out there...supercars grow on trees iirc from when I was out there?

Aaaah, jumeirah beach, remember it well

Yeah mate i've got it now in my room, fitting it this weekend. I'm thinking of tints but i'm not sure what it will look like?
Air con is on pretty much everyday except the evenings between Dec-March as it pretty pleasant right now, around 24 in the day and 14/15 at night.
Thanks for the comments guys! Can't wait to bring it home!
John

 

[Fletcher]

It looks hot there

 

[polarbert]

i wish it was that warm here! 24 during the day sounds LOVELY!

 

[polarbert]

for an idea of tints look for thomas182's black gold clio on here, it looks really good

 

[lucky]

Looks nice, number plates look kinda crazy too.

 

[Lucas]

Mint! Defo get the Pro Race 1.2's, they're so light and I'm really pleased with the look on mine. Many 182s out in Dubai?

 

[Rich]

The proper colour choice! - looking good. Enjoy it.

 

[Dubai182]

Hi Lucas,
Nope,lol. They've sold 5 so far in 8 months. People here just don't know who or what renault are! I've met one guy with a silver 182 and we're meeting up to go to jebel hafeet which is the highest mountain in the UAE. 7 mile climb to the top with 3-5% gradient.

[TomS]

Looks sweet

Go steady and enjoy!

 

[GarethM]

looks lovely dude, M5 is awesome too!!

 

[Dubai182]

thanks guys. I'm really loving the car although not looking forward to summer with 50 degree temperatures....be interesting to see how it copes. Also can't wait to bring it home. I'm trying really hard to get home within the next year. My time in Dubai is over,i miss home too much!lol

[fizzy_drink]

Ah... memories... I lived there for ten years.

What's the aircon like? Is it up to the job?

I've noticed you're plate's been registered in Abu-Dhabi... any reason in particular?

Oh, and send my regards to Yasser.

 

[Dubai182]

Hi Omar,
Air con seems pretty sweet especially with the climate control.
Got the car registered in Abu Dhabi as thats where my Visa is. I work in Abu Dhabi but live in Dubai, hence the long trip everyday and clocking up some serious mileage. The hassle to get a car registered and get my UAE license is unbelievable. Seeing Yasser on Monday/Tuesday so will do then.
John

 

[Ali]

UAE license?

 

[Dubai182]

UAE license?

United Arab Emirates. You have to have one to drive a car here. You can drive on your british license but only rental cars.
John

 

[fizzy_drink]

That's some serious mileage!

That road used to be treacherous... (there was only the "industrial" road back in my day).

I bet things have changed heh?

 

[rcp]

Looks good!

 

[Jay]

Looking good! Enjoy it!

 

[Adam]

v nice....

Hugely mate,you wouldn't even recognise Dubai!! The road to Abu Dhabi is now a 5 lane motorway with a 90mph speed limit. I used to live here back in 87-90 and know exactly what road your on about,lol.
John

 

[Dan Page]

looks very nice, enjoy

 

[makavelli]

[Dubai182]

Defo mate,moving back to Knutsford area so i'll be 20 mins away max. Really pushing hard to come home early now, my time in Dubai is up,i want out,lol.
John

P.S After seeing your GAZ coilovers i'm most likely going to get them aswell within the next few months,just want to leave it mostly standard for a while except the air filter and de-cat and alloys,so you could say not really standard,lol.
