Nicole the Renault Clio 182 Cup in Inferno Orange 2005

[wavo]

So I finally Managed to find a car close to me :smile:
I Introduce to you:
Nicole
Renault Clio 182 Cup Inferno Orange 2005
74,000 Miles
Full Service History
Factory Fitted Recaro's
Ktec Coilovers
Ktec Cat Back Exhaust
Ktec Induction Kit
Whiteline Rear Bar
Ktec Engine Mounts

Drives Sport on, Very Planted. This is my second Clio Sport but my first 182. Took me a while to find one that the exterior hadn't been played with and that wasn't up for extortionate amounts of £ and was not a massive drive away from me.

First things first, Remove the harnesses, Maybe remove the Induction kit for standard and remove the window tints?

 

[mossyv6]

I now own an inferno and i do love the colour but i do have a soft spot for the RB

 

[bloke]

Best colour ☺️

[182_steve]

That looks very smart indeed and the spec is very good........ well worth the wait by the sounds of it!

But yes, tints off and will look even better :up:

 

[wavo]

So Over the weekend I gave the girl a wash and removed the window tints and then removed the Harnesses.
I think she looks so much better :smile:

 

[Stefan.]

Perfect

 

[imprezaworks]

Loads better

 

[bloke]

do know where the whole 'nicole' 'pappa' thing came from??

 

[t90_lle]

From the advert on to years ago

 

[imprezaworks]

I think carl knew the answer. I await the real question/answer.

 

[bloke]

From the advert on to years ago

but how did they come up with the names though:wink:

 

[imprezaworks]

Oh the suspense

 

[182_steve]

Massive improvement, looks great :up:

 

[wavo]

there is a whole thing about Nicole and Papa is there? I just called her nicole as the previious owner called her that and i thought why change her name, didnt know it was a universal thing?

 

[imprezaworks]

Nothing wrong calling a car that tbh. Assume you are of the feminine variety?

 

[wavo]

NO I am a bloke, why the hell would I call my car a blokes name if I am entering it everyday haha

 

[imprezaworks]

You have a point

 

[bloke]

[mossyv6]

Great job on removing the tints.

Now leave it alone!

 

[182_steve]

I remember those adverts from the TV, seems aaages ago now. Then you look at the car and reaslise it was 🙈

 

[wavo]

Ahh I remember those ads now :smile:

 

[hipwell]

Looks ace mate.

I never knew any 182s came with factory recaros other than the trophy.

I want!

 

[172Oz]

Love these. Was after one until I got a 172 cup.

 

[wavo]

Looks ace mate.

I didnt know either, apparently it was an optional upgrade for the cups, Have an e-mail from renault to prove they are from factory as I contacted them before buying the car to check

89 FF's and 37 cups were specced with them

 

[wavo]

I wonder how many Inferno Cups were specs with Recaros form factory, I cant see its very many and i doubt many are left at all, wishful thinking that mines the only inferno

 

[imprezaworks]

About 15 were fitted with standard seats so not rare tbh


In fact thinking about it

No idea.

:smile:

I swear that made no sense to me at all? 15 were fitted with standard seats?

 

[imprezaworks]

I was joking

15 inferno cups with standard seats, the rest fitted with recaros making it not rare.

I'm tired today and my jokes are awful :/

Ahh dont worry, I'm tired too, my brain did think it was a joke but could not comprehend it.

My next job on the beast is to strip down the inlets and rocker cover and repaint close to standard to tidy it up abit

 

[Daz...]

18 Inferno Cups were sold with Recaros.
