I picked up my Clio 182 today

[jonbrown]

Today I finally picked up my Clio 182 with both cup packs and recaro seats in the black gold which I think looks great, although I may say different when it comes to cleaning it.

Have to say I was mighty impressed that I managed to get 45mpg on the drive from Hemel Hempsted to Norwich. Fair enough I didn't exactly put my foot down anywhere, but equally was cruising along at the national speed limit


Now all I need to do is get used to driving as it's definately ca big change from my 1.2 Fiesta!!!


Roll on tomorrow for another spin in the country side.

TAKE CARE! Its a big step up from a 1.2 fiesta! I would know as I went from a 1.2 clio

But mainly, enjoy it!

Nice choice mate.
1.2 to 2.0 ltr i bet it feels like a rocket. I went from a 2.5 turbo to my Clio 182 much better car Have fun

Enjoy every minute!!!! I picked up mine yesterday and was also shocked to see it hitting around 48 in 5th doing 50.

Impressive until my foot hit the floor

 

[Paddy_g46]

take it easy if you go for a country blast! Only cain it on straight roads for now and get to know the brakes and the cars limits!

 

[Kyias]

Second gear at 7K revs. Feel that power!!

Enjoy your 182. Ive had mine just over 12months now and still love it everytime i go for a drive.

 

[Curley]

i also did the 1.2 to 2.0 jump lol just dont stack it, get used to the car first.

Although its not a supercar (we all know it is really ) its still pretty quick and can bite you in the arse in a second, but enjoy it.

Recaros ftmfw.

^ Lift of oversteer and the rear end wiggle under hard braking are two things to be carefull with imo

Back end wiggle lol when i got back to coventry after getting my car, i thought this cars supposed to grip like f**k, so i've hooted over a roundabout and just lightly touched the brake and it started shaking like a belly dancer :quiet:

Great choice mate. Got my BG182 about a month back now and I Cant get my arse out the seat.

BTW cleaning it will be a bummer... as I've found out.

 

[aarontrophy]

i went from a zetec 1.25 to a trophy

 

[Brett]

Enjoy it mate, great upgrade.

 

[Leeshez]

Cracking choice

Tell me about it, my fiesta was black to. Wasn't planning on getting another black car but am glad I did as this one does look good.

Am taking it steady with the driving at the moment, but I can say it's better to drive than my Dads Accord Type R!!!

As for the pictures, you lot will have to wait until it stops raining

nice one mate, will hopefully see you around dereham!

Sorry it's only two, but it's a start!!!

im sure this'll get pointed out so it might aswell be me ur Clio doesnt seem to have the lil splitter you get with the spoiler Cup pack so unless its been ripped off id say it only has the wheels/suspension cup pack.

No biggy still a sweeet motor

It does have both cup packs, I have the original purchase sheet stating the options. I also did lots of negotiating over the price as the front splitter was missing. Thought I would get myself a K-Tec Racing or Streamline Carbon fibre one rather than a stock plastic renault one. Not sure about the Matt finish one that K-Tec do, any one seen one in the flesh?

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

matt blacks are miles better

 

[jayxx83]

bg is one of the best blacks imo, used to love cleaning mine
