New 182 cup owner

[suicidehobbit]

Hey guys and girls,

Been lurking for a couple of weeks until I'd had the chance to give my new car its first wash and take some snaps of it, so here it is!

Its a 55 plate 182 cup edition with trendline recaro's. Its such good fun to drive, nice and civilised if you need it to be (33mpg average over 2 weeks of mainly short journeys) but when you stick the foot down it flies! I love it!

Thanks for all the useful info and advice hoovered from the forum to date and hopefully i'll be able to contribute sometime.

Cheers

Dave

Welcome. Nice looking motor you got there

Awesome. I see it already has flat blade wipers. It's a Cliosport cliche, but definitely get some silvervisions in there. They really do improve the look of the lamp cluster IMO. Cheap mod and really easy to fit (unlike the headlamp bulbs).

Great that it has Recaros too, as the standard chair cloth is the only let-down in the Cup TBH.

I'm based in Alloa in central Scotland mate and work in Stirling so my commute unfortunately consists of 30-40 roads every day

Flat blade wipers were only fitted on Sat morning following a good tip (from here!) about the Tesco wiperblades. They are good at the moment so we'll see how they hold up. For £8/pair they look really good value so far!

Just googled the silvervisions - nice Are they road legal / pass an MOT?
