Previous owner of this titanium 182?

[Saamjohn]

Right so i have been off this forum for awhile whilst i waited to get some ncb and continue driving my 1.2 so apologies if i have posted in the wrong section!

Anyway my mate bought a 182 to tidy up and sell on but it was in a right state when he got it and was wondering if any of you are or known the previous owner as i am considering buying it and want to know how badly it may have been treated!
Its a titanium silver 182 with full milltek, speedlines and an unknown remap fitted on a reg plate of DN05 YTT (with the essential cliosport .net sticker!)

Any advice would also be helpful

Cheers guys!

What milleage is it on now?

I bought it off a chap that worked for Renault and was the 2nd owner. Think it was on about 60-70k or so?He cared for it like his baby, all service history was kept in a folder with it which he carried out himself at Renault. EVERY single penny spent on it was document by receipts in the folder too. He bought the car from Renault as it came in as a PX after a woman swapped for another Renault. He took it through the system and had absolutely everything replaced on it so it could be put out on the forecourt as a nearly new car, even the gear knob cover was changed and documented in the folder. If the car hasn't got that folder with it still, walk away because the owner who lost it would be a complete muppet to lose that, and I would suggest they didn't look after it!!

I put an RS Tuner remap on it, some lowering springs and mint unmarked anthracite turinis, it was hands down the cleanest 182 I have ever owned!!

@Daniel was looking at buying this last time it came up forsale!

If I can help anymore, give me a PM and I'll answer any questions I can

@r0ss172 there we are!

Does the steering wheel still have the carbon thumb grips? It still looks very tidy in those pictures mate, definitely had a good life before and during my ownership. It was about due a belt change when I sold it on so I'd be checking for proof of that being done too!

Words escape me as to why it's not got that folder!!!

 

[Saamjohn]

I don't think the carbon thumb grips are their!, my mate has the receipt for a cam-belt and aux change in January 2014 and said he will put a fresh mot on so its all sound! and i know its quite a big folder as well haha! @r0ss172

Sorry for the hijack, but what/how did you get the exhaust tips looking so good?

 

[Saamjohn]

Car looks much better after a clean up, new coolant bottle would top it off [emoji4]
