so what can you see as the pro's and con's?

cheers jack

I would be asking myself why the person/garage is entertaining a swap?

Have the belts been done on the RB recently?

 

[Short Norman]

Unless there's something else to it, is it simply you like the colour of their car and they like the low milage of your car.

Who's got the RB, do you know of the car (by this I mean is it a friend or is it a local car you see often).

 

[Jackwoody]

This is a car from a garage and yes its simply the colour I've always wanted, he's sending my the service history tonight im hoping it's had the belts done but mine need them doing soon anyway so it's not a major problem

 

[Stefan.]

if it all adds up and is what you want, then why not i would like a trophy and i have a 182 so similar in a way

 

[Chili Red]

I wouldn't swap an FF for a Cup, no matter what colour it is. Yours has also done almost half the miles!

 

[Jackwoody]

There has been some really good deals on trophys lately get one!, ye I've wanted this color for ages so I'm going to go for it asking it all adds up

 

[Chili Red]

I think you're mad :S

 

[hopey-182]

wouldnt even be thinking about it.

 

[Knuckles]

racing blue > silver
recaros > standard seats
cambelt done > cambelt due

... im seeing a trend here

 

[RDH]

I'd keep yours.

 

[Dan]

i wouldnt even bother, keep yours get the belts done and its all good

 

[Jackwoody]

The only thing missing from the cup is the zenons,

why do you think in mad?

i like your thinking knuckles

why wouldn't you think about it?

 

[seb]

It has double the mileage and is a cup so a lower spec and in turn harder to sell on. no one wants 182 cups.

Defo keep yours.

 

[plymcl172]

FF for a cup

Never

 

[Knuckles]

i like your thinking knuckles

why wouldn't you think about it?

retrofit xenons?

lol i've never gelled with silver cars. if you have a sporty car, the worst thing you can do is spec a bland colour (black/silver) imo



tbh. this comes down to climate and cruise control.

ime the standard blower unit in the clios is adequate and how often do you use cruise?

 

[R-Sport.]

prorata they are worth about the same- ( as long as the recaros are good)

so if thats the colour you want then swop!-

just ensure you complete all the usual checks

( Price wise silver one £3250- RB cup on 80k- 2400 ish + recaros-)
then minus the belts away-

S

 

[Jackwoody]

the rb does have ac and cruise? extras? the xneons dont bother me too much, its only as a second car for going to the gym and back and to the gf's on the weekends other than that its just a toy, he rb is the colour i want and it might sound silly but i dont want to modify mine as its too good of an example to ruin lol

 

[Knuckles]

are you sure its a cup then? im sure cup 182s didnt have climate control/ air con or cruise control. the latter im almost certain about as they come with the non sport steering wheel.

if you want RB, get the RB

 

[Jackwoody]

thats what i thought but it doesnt have xenons and has cloth interior (well it did originally befroe the recaro's)

 

[Chili Red]

The Cup also has cloth seats!

Yes, they have manual aircon, instead of proper climate control.





Get a FF racing blue if that's the colour you really want, don't swap yours for a worse-spec cup with double the mileage which is worth less, that's why you're mad!

its got recaros in the front.

how often does anyone use aircon though? i use mine once every couple of weeks just to use it lol.

yeah, if a FF comes up in RB id recommend buying that, just because FF.. but then if you want recaros youll have to fork out and extra grand

cough cough, nothing wrong with black (black/gold ) some don't want to shout about it unlike these glittery yellow/golds

Oh yeah, forgot about the Recaros, they're not the be all and end all though, the standard seats are fine.

no offence meant twas just my opinion lol

bg is epic on the odd occasion its clean though


buying a yellow car wasnt enough for me... i had to have it covered in go faster stickers too

 

[Chili Red]

The LY R27 is the best-looking Clio after the Mk2 V6. Fact.

 

[Jackwoody]

You say it's worth less because it's a cup but I can't find any rbs for less than mine is worth?...

 

[JoshOm3]

Stick too your car IMO. You know where you are with it rather than swapping for something that could be a dog.

 

[Chili Red]

It's your money, do what you like with it. I just think you're mad.

 

[Jackwoody]

Ye but if it's a dog I won't buy it l

[Goodj]

LY R27 is the only Clio worth bothering with, aside from LY V6

But I wouldn't move away from a FF to a Cup, you might get a placebo effect of "awww, its proepr much faster in da twistiez", but that wont last long.

Cloth seats? Pft.

This has recaros

 

[Jackwoody]

I'm not getting it for the performance, I'm getting because it's the colour I've wanted since I was 16, and if you read properly it has recaros

 

[Jackwoody]

This has recaro's

Thankyou lol!

A ly vee is just p**n.

I think he wants it for the colour and recaros rather than its lighter and therefore better in dee twistiez y0! Than the ff

 

[Jackwoody]

And also what if I can't afford a v6 or a r27? Should I buy an mx5? Pft

 

[Goodj]

This has recaros

I must have missed when Clio recaros were leather.

In the 200 they seemed to be made of burlap sacks and binder string anyway

You'd certainly do well if you did.
