picking up my 182 wednesday :D

[-williams-]

well i've finally done it! put a deposit on a 182 today, its a 54 plate, both cup packs, just over 52k on the clock with FSH

second pic is a bit blurry cos i felt a bit silly takin pics so tried to rush it!

dont really have any plans, may put some light tints on it but other than that its staying as it is!

what we reckon?

 

[Craig]

nice. just needs a splitter and get the sport badge that gors under reanult or get the new style ones

 

[-williams-]

i didnt notice there was no splitter :S it should come with a small one shouldnt it?

 

[Whiteley]

Good man. I picked mine up a couple of wednesdays ago; 54 plate, 52k miles and both cup packs. Arctic blue though. Enjoy it!

Yeah it should have a small splitter, most do, mine did. However, quite a few people on here have said theirs did not have them even when brand new?!

 

[-williams-]

hmm i shall have to get that checked! any suggestions on a splitter that will look good? gotta be something original looking though!

 

[Kula197]

I'm not sure mate, my 182 was totally standard with although it had both Cup packs, my 197 is totally standard. I personally would try and get a standard one or failing that on a black car the carbon fibre one that K-Tec do looks pretty sweet.

You'll want to make sure your alarm works and get a steering wheel lock too mate

 

[-williams-]

yeah i have seen the carbon one, ill have a look whys that mate?! i wouldnt have thought it woulda been very stealable?!

 

[Kula197]

A fair number of them sem to go missing mate.. I know Swansea isn't as bad as it used to be, but it still has a pretty high car crime rate. (I went to uni there, all of my housemates cars got broken into except my Saxo VTR - but I had a Disklok and Clifford alarm/immobiliser so that might have helped?!)

 

[Da]

The 182 has a CAT 2 immobiliser and a CAT 1 alarm so I wouldn't worry mate!
As for the splitter it's probably been damaged by the previous owner. They're pricey at about £170 brand new from Renault!

Enjoy the car tho mate! :rasp:

its not that bad to be honest mate, i've been driving 4 years, living in what used to be one of the worst areas for car crime and i've never had a problem! whereabouts were you living?

dont think i fancy paying £170 for one i'll have to have a look for some cheaper options lol

 

[Kula197]

For my final two years I lived near the Uplands, on Marlborough Road, it was okay aroung there tbh. Most of the damage to cars was done by students anyway!lol

 

[-williams-]

lol shoulda guessed really! it has gone alot better though to be fair!

 

[Kula197]

Enjoy the car mate, you'll love it!

Good luck with the splitter too!

 

[Sean B]

same car as me, enjoy.
again good luck on the splitter. Ive just bought a brand new one off ebay for the clio 182, except it seems it would fit a double decker bus better than my car. luckily got full refund so watch out if it reapears on ebay.

 

[-williams-]

yeah i doubt i'll bother with ebay shite! i'd rather deal with a company i can go to face to face! is yours black gold mate or just black?

 

[Sean B]

Black Gold m8y

 

[-williams-]

dont suppose you know if they made the 182 in solid black?!

 

[E11OOT]

dont suppose you know if they made the 182 in solid black?!

nope just black with the gold glitter

 

[E11OOT]

it's missing the sport badge under renault as well....

 

[Sean B]

no m8 i dont think they did.
found this
http://www.renault.com.au/renaultsport/roadcars/clio182/colours.htm#

there is another sales data guide somewhere, how many made and what colours but i cant seem to find it at the moment.

 

[-williams-]

excellent cheers mate! yeah i noticed about the badge when i was down there today, im not all that bothered to be honest, i never was a big fan of the sport badge so i'm not bothered either way!

 

[Trevor]

K-Tec are the best,look good with your colour.I broke my splitter a year or so ago.I went to Renault,they were a silly price so I went to K-Tec,much cheaper and a lot better.Have a look at the website or give them a call.They're also great for servicing but that depends where you live.

[Leeshez]
