[Tigger]

Where are you from Johnny_52?

The plate is a N.Ireland reg so it looks a bit funny to some people on this

Car looks great - love it and the wheels!

the 182 wheels look ok, they look bigger than the turinis as well

It could have been, the clio gets about, im from Bangor. Changed from the Turinis as my mate offered me a straight swap. I think the 182 rims make it look better. They are also alot easier to keep clean.

And yes the RS turbo beside me was well MINT!!

they may be easier to keep clean, but the quality of 182 rims is crap, and they pit and mark really easy, turinis are better quality and hence clean easier (except of coure for the number of spokes)

My Cup was second hand, so the Turinis were not in that good condition. I find if you keep the wheels polished and clean no matter what the rim they dont pit or mark.

i dont find that, aftermarket alloys tend to be better painted, i clean my alloys very often, and i found that no matter what you did with 182 wheels they would attract pitting (little black marks), this would eat into the finish and was a complete b**ch to remove

Yeah understand what your saying. I also have a normal 172 interior for it. But it will add weight, not a good thing but looks nice. So if anyone wants a leather and suede interior make me an offer. I had a buyer for it a while back but it fell through. I have a few more mods im thinking of, anyone on here recommend any type of Chip?

Thanks for all your comments so far (good and bad).

 

[182_blue]

i would put the interior in , there is hardly any weight difference between the cup and leather interior
