[182_blue]

not changed one, and there not cheap , sorry

 

[Aust1n]

how did you manage that?... and yea i imagine the price is quite tastey

 

[Da]

fitted mine myself, but not a 182 so not sure if its the same. I got to mine from under the front of the car, parked it on a kerb to get it that bit higher for access. Then just looked under, removed the plastic splash-guard thing then reached up behind bumper. Unscrew the (3 i think) screws and unplug wiring from lamp. The light then drops out of bracket and removed.

there not like normal clio ones, you need 172/182 fogs

 

[Big Iain]

Buy a viper or a BMC, take the fog light out and put the cold air feed in the hole, sorted!

They are different, for definite. Normal ones do not fit 172/182s

 

[Big Iain]

K I wanna know this and hopefully be proved right lol

 

[182_blue]

^^thought so

 

[182_blue]

i mean thought they were different

 

[Grandpa Munster]

Try http://www.cliospares.co.ukwww.cliospares.co.uk I got one from here, genuine Renault part for about £55 delivered.

 

[mxfuk]

Mine cracked after about a month of getting it last year. I got one from Renault for about £70 plus VAT iirc. It wasnt easy to fit as its a tight space and I had to find the nuts by hand. Got a few cuts but its not too bad and took about 45 mins.
