Looks: 172 or 182



  1.2 MK2 PH2
I'd like a poll? What looks better in your opinon? 182 or 172?

IMO I love the 172's (Wheels, no exhaust on view!)

I know theres a 10bhp boost but that isnt THAT muvh

DISUCSS!

I like the wheels on the 182, and the best colours come in the 182 ;) Not that I'm biased! But I think both look good, especially the cup. Not much difference really apart from the exhausts and wheels. I think the 182 exhausts looks much better with an aftermarket fitted though.

flame red 172 with 182 cup wheels. Rear exhaust on 182 looks abit pants in my opinion.

I much prefer the normal Phase 2 172 wheels, lack of exhausts (wish they had kept this on the 182) on it and the darker finish headlamps, BUT- Dislike the fake Carbon look on the Dash Inserts and Gear Knob though so swings and roundabouts.

Phase 1 172s I just find ph-ugly at the front end and the dash is horrible - like the wheels though.

Hated the standard 182 wheels when I ordered the car and was going to change them but they have grown on me.

Silver 182 seat belts are shite too.

Black Gold is also nicer than Pearl Black.

Lol - like there are loads of differences between the two, err wheels, exhausts & thats about it.
Although if someone wanted to be really picky, they could say, headlight colour & seatbelt colour.

Its jus the exhaust on the 182 that kills it imo, the clio is the underdog always has been and the dual exhaust on 182s is triyng to show off/prove summit imo.

Depends on what you want, i would get a cup and with the cash saved strip out that nasty interior and fit a nice set of buckets and poss some engine/suspension mods too.

Although if you fancy xenons and leather get a FF

I can see everyones opininon but i love the 172 wheels....

But if it was a choice of a 172 of a trophy.... Then the stickers would win me over :p

172 cup in Mondial Blue is by far the best normal RS clio.

I don't like the 182 cup wheels, I think they look like toy wheels; likewise with the exhausts on the 182.

I'm not so keen on the normal 172 wheels, think they look kinda boring. I prefer the 182 or cup/trophy wheels.

i love my twin exhausts. its my invitation to every corsa or saxo scally to come right up my arse. they should install them with hands that wave as you leave them as specks in ur mirror

Looking at my monaco blue 172 pics and 182 racing blue pics, Id have my 182 nearly every time :)

172 cup is the nicest looking....End of.

182 looks crap, Grey headlights, silly exhausts, grey seatbelts, seats arn't as nice, trim is duller. Colours arn't as nice...

Agree with Ali,

The cup looks nicer outside :)

Shame you couldn't have FF spec inside it though :dapprove:

I love the Sppedlines and The Front Splitter and Rear spoiler :) :)

Don't know if you'd notice wider track etc etc by eye..

Maybe i'm wrong, i've never had a 172FF and a Cup side by side to compare :dapprove:
