Cheers Arran, didn't stay away too long then mate haha! ;)

Genuinely think Titanium is the best colour for them, they are so overlooked but it I had a pound for everytime someone has said they wished they got a Titanium I could afford some Brembo's! Lol

Haha a know mate, just can't keep away!

Couldnt agree more, often overlooked them in the past but seeing a few in the flesh and seeing yours has drastically changed my opinion. If I get this i know where I'll be for ideas ;)

I have considered selling it but I don't even know what I would advertise it for.. I have a figure in my head but whether someone would pay it is another story I guess..

I even bought it it's own garage at the weekend lol!

Without knowing what the figure is I can't comment..It must be hard valueing something you've spent so much money and time bringing to what is an awesome standard..

As is, I would probably consider an offer around £4,500. I have spent more than that on the thing in the last year.

Cheers Tom!

I tried to purchase some from Renault and apparently you can't buy them anymore so I removed mine and had them powdercoated in the end mate. Makes it all look a little fresher rather than those horrid looking rusty bolts.

Baby arrived yet mate?

Lawro... Your insane.. I admire and hate you all in the same thought ;). I can't believe your selling this beauty. What a car, what attention to detail. I can't believe you have just done THAT seat upgrade and now your selling.

i am not saying I wanted to copy your car but mine is on a similar journey. The PMS tops arrived yesterday. Just it's never going to be that level of "clean"

why why why... Is this not January, when I would have been sending you retainer deposits just to not sell it before I saw it. It's got to be worth every penny of your asking price. I love my 182 Ti to bits and in the 6 months of ownership only 2 cars have come up that have made me wish I could buy again. One was a "Big ticket" un molested trophy, but yours is by far the best!

I really hope for your sanity, what your getting to replace is truly what you want.

All the best,

Amazing car.

Well the car has sold today, it's going off to Blackpool on Sunday to it's new owner who is a previous 182 owner!

He has promised me the car will be looked after and I am sure it will be in good hands.

Its been one hell of a journey over the last few years, by far the best car I have ever owned! I will probably regret the decision to sell, in fact I feel pretty sick but it's been done for the right reasons.

I will enjoy the remaining days of my ownership and looking forward to it's last even at WaxStock at the weekend.

End of an era :(

Whats next mate?
Click to expand...

Cheers guys, I am pretty gutted too but as you know it was the correct decision.

I have gone for something completely different to my usual car preference! I originally intended to buy an E36 M3 but it's so much work trying to find a nice one and I think I would only end up in the same situation I was with the Clio, so decided against that.

I will post some photos when I collect it on Sunday!

Hi all, just to let you know I am the lucky soon to be owner of Lawro's 182:clap: :approve: I actually saw his pictures and said "god I wish that was up for sale" and then to my surprise it went up a few days later. I was looking at a few other examples including one in Glasgow with Trophy Recaros but they all had nothing on Lawro's so it had to be done! I will continue the project thread (not that there is anything left to do haha) and will ensure this car stays looking box fresh. I actually intend to keep hold of this car for quite a long time and will more than likely garage it if and when I decide to change only to be used for special occasions to try and preserve it as a classic. Will also make sure it comes to meets!

I have faith that you will look after it, it you don't.. I know where you live! Lol ;)

I am sure you will enjoy your ownership, it really is a special car and I still feel sick about letting it go. I expect a few tears will be due on Sunday but it's going to a good home and that's the most important thing to me.
