My 2004 Renaultsport Clio 182

[Jordy1982]

With the Evo now gone, I was unsure of what to be getting next. I've had a notion for a 182 for a few years but never did anything about it.


So i went to see the example that a friend of a friend had for sale, had a look around etc. The car was spotless, couldn't fault the car at all, had full Renault service history and it was more or less totally original.


Had the car now a few weeks and have been loving it ever since.


Heres a few pics...not good quality but will get some sorted soon.

No real plans for it really, apart from keeping it subtle.....possibly a cup rear spoiler at some stage.


I plan to use this as my daily and hope to invest in something else after xmas.

Have a fabia splitter waiting to go on along with springs I've ordered from Josh @ Cooksport.

Should look a lot better once splitter and springs are fitted.

Looks tidy but for the love of god change that plate

The suspension looks strangely high in those photo's, higher than it should be in standard form. Hopefully the new springs sort that problem!

Change the plate?

Plates were on the car when I got it.

Have standard font ones made up to go on.

Hopefully the springs will do the trick.

Thats what i mean - Font is hideous. Looks in good nick otherwise though.

It's a northern Irish thing...

Standard font plates will be on soon.

Went for the ones Cooksport were offering as a group buy. I think they are -30mm

Don't want too low as there is so many speed bumps where I live. Nightmare.

Small update, excuse the crappy iphone pics, but will get some better ones organised when its not wet!

Silvervision bulbs added to front & rear indicators to get rid of the standar orange bulbs.

Alloy footrest - to match standard pedals.

Skoda Fabia VRs splitter, needed modified slightly to fit but easy job.

-30mm lowering springs from Cooksport. Similar to Eibachs but lower the rear a tad more for a better stance.

Ride is a wee bit stiffer, but not by much. Ride quality was not something I wanted to mess up.

Alloy footrest fitted.

Pics with both splitter and springs fitted.

Really happy with the way its sitting now.

Thats all im touching for the meantime - just going to enjoy driving it for a while.

Looks mint mate. Stance looks much better now too.

What mileage is she on?

 

[Daniel]

I really like that, clean and not messed with look.

Looks bloody immaculate too!

Thanks, really enjoying driving it so far.

Such a change from the Evo though and I do miss the boost. So may have to look into another toy after Xmas. Lol

Fun to drive and it's silly easy on petrol, win win.

Big fan of standardish silver 182's. Lovely!

Cheers man,

The only thing I might change would be to a cup rear spoiler.

I'll keep my ear to the ground for one.

Been busy as last while with the car, trying to tidy the wee things here and there that were annoying me...

Old numberplate light



New number plate light fitted



C2 stubby aerial fitted



Cup spoiler fitted



Got battery cover and top mount covers in black to fit.

Also have ktec induction kit ordered, hopefully it will arrive soon.



Cars starting to take shape now, so all good.
