How can you tell if a 182 has the cup suspension upgrade?

[vtgrrrs]

Just wondeing as I read a review where it stated that the cup upgrade included the darker alloys? My 182 has the alloys,but when I bought it (used) I didn't think it had had the upgrade. How can you tell?

* Yes, I realised I mis-typed the thread title thanks. D'oh!

Need to go to Renault but even then thats not for sure.

Check the measurments from the strut bolts if the measurent is 60mm its got cup packs if its 54 its not got it.

To see the strut get the car on full lock

Ive read about 6 threads now and each one says the same thing "60mm from the strut bolts". Sorry but its a bit vague, is this from the inner edges of the bolts, outer edges, the measurement from the top to bottom or left to right bolts?

After pondering over my car for a good 40 minutes ive coem to the conclusion you are actually refering to the hub, not the strut bolts.

It's the strut mounting bolts, that secure it to the hub. On Cup's or Cup-packed cars it is 60mm centre to centre of the two bolts.

lol as long as you measure to the same point on each bolt it won't matter.
