What Cup packs does this 182 have?

[junkmonkey]

Hi,

I went to look at a 182 with both Cup packs today, or so I thought. Once I got there I found an extremely unhelpful and disinterested car dealer, with a low-fat 182 Cup. Oops.
All that spec list in the Autotrader advert was just made up then was it?

Never mind. At least it confirmed to me that I definitely want a 182 with all of the toys. With that in mind, could anyone have a look at these pictures and tell me which Cup packs (if any) this car has?

The advert simply says "RENAULT SPORT CUP PACK".

I'm not familiar enough with the normal 182 to tell the difference spoiler wise, though unless I'm missing it (which is entirely possible), I can't see the front splitter that I think the Cup spoiler pack gets you?

I also can't quite tell from the pictures which [shade of] alloys are on here and hence if it likely has the Cup suspension, which is more important to me than the spoiler. I think.

Thanks.

Cup wheels defo.

The packs are..

Suspension and wheels.. Which those are cup packed wheels

and then spoiler/splitter. I cant see a splitter but its highly likely its broken or the dealer just didnt fit it. But that looks like a cup packed spoiler to me.

So id say thats got both packs

Agreed

^^^ i'd agree, but always the possibility someone just put 182 cup wheels on it.

difficult to tell on the spoiler but it's missing the front splitter if it's supposed to have both packs fitted.

£140 from renault (might help you nock some cash off it)

Blimey, thanks guys!

a. A lot more, quicker posts than I was expecting (a credit to the forum!)
b. I wasn't even wrong about the front splitter.
c. Looks like it probably has the suspension pack (though I am aware it may just be the wheels).

All good news. Ta.

ETA: Is there somewhere obvious in the documentation that should be with the car, what Cup packs/other options it came with from the original dealer?

If you can get the reg ring renault for the original factory fitted spec mate

Won't it tell you on the original car receipt? Or on the dealer's computer?

or whip a wheel off. The bolt spacing is 60mm to where the hub bolts to the suspension leg

Doubt it?

That wont tell him spoilers tho..

meh it has the boot one. Suspension is far more important....... and more costly.

Measure here,

My opinion of that car would be it has cup suspension option, and did have the spoiler pack, but the front splitter is missing. As DRrollo said some people just put the Anthricite alloys on to make it appear to have cup suspension. Only real way to tell is to measure the bolt spacing (60mm)

Indeed, and it's probably a bit more down and dirty than I was hoping to get at this stage. I'm not even sure I'd be that confident at noticing a 6mm difference sat on a (rainy - at a guess!) garage forecourt anyway.

Good idea, da, about calling Renault. I guess that should have occurred to me!

KJust ring Renault customer services and give them the reg.

Its the only way to be 100% on the spec.

If it was a standard car, someone could have painted the wheels grey so it looked like it had the superior 'Cup Pack' and bolted on a cup spoiler.

Not that I would ever ever consider doing anything along those lines....

 

[Revels]

Agreed.

Best bet is like Daz2 says, just give Renault a call and ask them what it left the factory with.

it's a 60mm bolt spacing.... cup suspension only lowers the car by 3mm...

See post 14......... by measureing this it will 100% tell you if it has the cup suspension fitted......

See post 14.........

Thanks, it's appreciated. What I meant though was the difference between the 60mm of the Cup and the (according to the 172/182 buyers guide thread) the 54mm of the normal 182.
I could guess that I might not be able to accurately tell the difference in less than ideal conditions. But it might be more obvious than I think I guess.

Aye, its 60, to the middle of the holes...... I'd always check this if in doubt. As sourcing parts can be tricky as the non cupped versions have different hubs etc etc

Quick update, I spoke to Renault (who were very helpful, I'm impressed). They sent me a full spec list for the car, including:

• Extreme Pack

• C Pack

• Cup suspension

I assume by "C Pack" they mean the Cup spoiler pack. I don't know what the "Extreme Pack" is though.

 

[Gumby]

It's not an audio package is it?

 

[Revels]

Ive never heard of the extreme pack before.

 

[minimum]

junkmonkey can you post the number up you rang, it would be a big help.

Thanks.

I just used the details from here. They emailed me back from that email address on there. I've asked for more info on the "Extreme" pack (though I assume it's nothing too exciting) but no reply as of yet.

They asked me for the registration and/or chassis number. I only had the reg but that was fine.

 

[Iridium]

Alexanders Motor Company?

I found them very good to be fair.

Someone said they were getting a new something (I think it was a shock or something) and the dealer called it the 'Extreme pack' - I think it just means both cup packs.

Hehe, thanks. It seems even Renault aren't entirely sure:

Thank you for your e-mail in relation to the Extreme Pack on the Clio 182.

We are currently looking into this in order to establish exactly what the Extreme pack contained.

We will contact you as soon as we have the relevant information.
