Got my 182.. (changed from 172 mk2) :-)

[sjtb]

Black gold (finally one with minimal monkey scratches) and cup packs

Had the 172 for 3 years..

Summary:

Much MUCH better handling, feels better put together, no 1st gear clunk, love the grey wheels, better low end torque and VVT kick in is more powerful

Only piss annoying thing so far, rattly rear buzzing speakers again (loose trim) - presumably others get this, how do you resolve?? how do you get the panels off? is it just the small speaker plastic, or the whole alcantara clad side bit?

12k I paid. Spot on ;-) any doubters out there, youll love it.

Back to being paranoid about where I park!!! :-((( heh

Si.

theres a speaker cover that comes off the doorcard, and then theres the actual rear doorcard thing itself, both just pop off with a little persuasion haha

i took them off to fit some sound deadening to reduce vibrations and then refitted them no probs
