Cheers dude, thats gota be the best comment I've ever had about the car :approve:

I'm gonna be really sad to see it go, if it hadn't have been for having to work miles away for the next 3 months I would have seriously considered a 172 engine conversion with full respray, h&r's etc to get it immaculate. It would have made me but would have just been a waste of money at the end of the day.

I'm gonna take the cup splitter off but its no good for the front bumper as its had to be modded to fit the rear, I'll be getting a carbon splitter anyway which is why I didn't mind getting a 182 minus cup packs.

What was the colour name/code of your grande mate?

Oh and what suspension was it on?

 

[hydeyho]

It was just standard suspension, not sure what the paint name was but I can find out the colour code tomorrow.

 

[Blue4Ever]

Oh right, doesn't look that high for standard on 17s!

If it's Monaco Blue would you be interested in a rear bumper swap? Involving cash in your direction!

Definately mate, where are you based?

I'll find out the paint code in the morning for you.

 

[Blue4Ever]

North West - Monaco Blue, NV 432

 

[polarbert]

How much did you pay? Whats the spec on the 182?

 

[Gareth]

Why's the 182 missing the Renault badge? Also, DON'T stick those 17"s on it!!

 

[Ali]

Ditto the above. The silver rims looks ncie actually. Lower 40mm. Cup splitter and your sorted.

 

[Cupster]

I got some standard Renault 172 cup springs for sale if you need them? Check they fit a 182 first though, lol

 

[ChrisE]

wheres the cup packs??? :butt:

 

[_Kenny_]

Nice mate

 

[hydeyho]

The 17s would only be temporary, I know I'm gona hate them as I can't believe the difference going back to 14s on my Grande!!! I'll be after some gloss black 16s but not sure what yet, I'd love Turini's but you have to admit that they are so common now.

ChrisE - I wasn't really bothered about cup packs, I want to get a carbon splitter anyway.

Gareth - I dunno why the Renault badge was missing but they are replacing it before I pick it up tomorrow.

Polarbert - Got it for £8.5k with 21k on the clock, similar spec from a local Renault stealer was priced at £10.5k

Plans are 40mm Apex springs, gloss black 16s, carbon front splitter and maybe a rear v6/Trophy spoiler. This list will definately grow the longer I have the car lol.

 

[Gareth]

your plans for it look good, but I don't see the need to put the 17"s on.

That's the Silver 182 they've for down at Motorhouse 2000 in Cannock. I spotted it the other weekend while I was looking at a Golf GTi.

My misses commented how it looked better in Silver than red like mine!! Then we got back to my car to find someone taking pics of it. lol

 

[Blue4Ever]

Any news on the blue colour mate?

Yep thats the one, put a deposit down 2 weeks ago now, can't wait for tomorrow. The silver looks so much better than I expected, I think it looks kinda flat and 'dull' in most pics but seeing it in the metal its a whole different colour.

Sorry mate, its not Moncaco Blue :dapprove:

Titanium silver is a lovely colour. I prefer it to iceberg silver.

 

[hydeyho]

I know what you mean, I'll probably have a go at refurbing them at home and stick them on ebay to get some money for the new 16s.

Me too, but iirc Iceburg was only on 172s

 

[Blue4Ever]

^^ Nah Titanium is better mate.

Bummer about the lack of Monaco onyour old bumper! Ah well.
