What to do first?

[byron04]

Got my clio 182 about a month ago. And got paid yesterday, basically im looking at doing a few things already.
It already has coilover suspension and a stealth exhaust system. i search the site forums all the time but dont know what to do first, what would you guys recommend, iv been tempted with remap but iv seen mixed results, again any help guys.

Pics of the car can always help inspire if you have any.... budget always helps too

How about an ITG Maxogen, or just a panel filter.

Decat or sports cat maybe?

a stealth exhaust on a 182??? hum, don't think so

 

[FlameR]

you won't get much in terms of power gains, especially if you put on a stealth exhaust LOL. not sure that will work.

I'd personally get coilovers, uprated discs and pads and possibly an exhaust with a decat. Maybe a few little exterior mods such as painted badges and 197 renaultsport badge

Massive bodykit and 16 exhausts

a stealth exhaust on a 182??? hum, don't think so

Wen i bought the car, i looked on the receipts and it had £324 on an exhaust from powerflow or sumin. Obviously looked and where its not showing i assumed stealth, am i wrong?

Plus another question being then as its something which has come to me now, wen getting quotes for insurance wen i got it i typed in the reg and different companys stated it as 172 and 182. its a 2003 if it helps.

Stealth means no tailpipes showing at all

2003 means it's the first of the 182's, insurance companies sites generally have trouble with stuff like that. Best to phone em up.

2003 is it not a 172? Does it have tailpipe out the back and cruise control?

 

[byron04]

2003 is it not a 172? Does it have tailpipe out the back and cruise control?

no neither and with different insurance people saying its a 172 and 182, looked on all the documents and it doesnt state either lol

 

[timmyd]

is it a 182 or 172?

He's bought a Dynamique Rep!!

 

[Timmay]

^ lol!

very strange tho - surely if it doesnt have twin tailpipes its a 172

 

[Martin_172]

if it doesnt have the twin tail pipes its a 172

also dont think 182's started till 2004? possibly late 2003 53 plate?

 

[byron04]

is it a 182 or 172?

It was bought beleived to be a 182 plus also my insurance company said 182 but when i was looking about for insurance say 2/5 said 172, metioned above it is a 2003 when they were goin from 172 to 182.

[Martin_172]

does it have a spare wheel well under the boot? if it does its a 172 if it doesnt its a 182

 

[Revels]

What colour are the seatbelts? Xenon backs?

Get some pics up.

 

[byron04]

Has spare wheel so i come to the conclusion its a 172 lol

 

[Timmay]

yep def a 172

 

[Martin_172]

lol where did you buy it from?

 

[byron04]

lol where did you buy it from?

From a woman in bristol. Was going to take it to my nearest dealer but you guys on here no your stuff.

 

[Martin_172]

lol the dealer would probably have called it a trophy!

 

[Timmay]

that definately, and then get a decat tbh, and an itg pannel filter.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Bit gutting buying a 182 to find it's only a 172 lol.

 

[Dave-Clio]

if it is a 172, go for a manifold upgrade, from what ive seen its the best mod you can do to them.
