So I've finally got round to showing off the new motor :D Another clio!

Fantastic car and a decent price too. Congrats!

As a side note I'm thinking of setting up www.splitterswapshop.net. RS Clio boys want the Fabia splitter, the Fabia boys want the Leon Cupra-R splitter. I'm sure there is a market for facilitating all these transactions... for a small fee of course!
 
Well considering they are bother under £40, surely it'd be easier for them just to go to the dealer?

The Corsa VXR boys like the LCR splitters too. I remember years ago everyone wanted megane splitters.

Bah, stop trying to ruin my ideas. We'll see who has it spot on when I'm taking Bannatyne's money in the Den ;)

Going back even further the Laguna seemed to be the splitter of choice for most models. I seem to recall a spate of thefts of them at one point!
 
Really like that F1 sticker, just ordered one from ebay.

My 182 came with just the Renault badge on the back without the sport part. When the previous owner bought the car she said the owner before her had got rid of the silver bullet things on the side that say 2.0 16v and replaced them with standard black ones and had debadged the sport. A Clio with twin exhausts and anthracite alloys is hardly a sleeper so not sure what he was going for with that look :p

Is this the right badge? Seems a little cheap - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/self-adhesive...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35aa93b887
 
I don't think so. I bought mine of eBay and put it on there, purely because I had seen someone else with it and I liked it :)

I put mine on a bit too low down though, still like it though :)
I have one too. It thought I'd read somewhere they were part of an option pack or something. It was there when I got it at 3 years old though, I know I wouldn't go putting stickers on car that was still in warranty myself but you never can tell...
 
Looking awesome there! Makes me miss mine so much (best colour for the 182 ;))

Is that a miltek exhaust on it? I had the scorpian RS192, made a lovely sound.

Looks right to me. Personally I went with the newer badge from an RS Clio 197 (although I'm not happy with the placement of it, I really should have taken more time when putting it on!)

Not a milltek but a scorpion exhaust, not sure of the exact model but i would imagine they only make one for the 182 so im guessing it will be the RS192.

It does make a nice noise through 1/2/3 gears :D

But then isnt too loud at around 80 at 4krpm , just sort of a low humming noise, which of course is always going to be noticeable (aswell as road noise and wind) but a bit of music on the ol stereo drowns that out quite nicely! had a rag thru a short tunnel the other day in 2nd gear and boy it sounded good reverberating off the walls :D
 
Ahhh good choice then. They did make another one, but pretty sure it'll be the RS192. Damn, I so want another one, but I think doing 22,000+ miles a year in a clio was too much for me. Might get one alongside the diesel barge some day.
 
always been keen on the blue clio sports, i see a few about too , anyways if any of you want a fabia splitter my friend has one he wont be needing as to quote my friend

"sideways , sky ,road, sky ,road , ditch"

and has trashed his vRS

whats the difference between these and the cups just suspension ?
 
Looks mint, think I like this colour most. I bought a black/gold FF last month :cool: 182s seem to be all the rage!
Re: frenchness - alternator cable fell off mine 2 weeks ago which i dont think the ECU liked one bit : must admit i laughed a bit when i turned the key and the speedo and revcounter span round backwards. Soldered cable back on and good as new now :)

Get your steering wheel refurbished. Arran on CS offers it. Did mine, absolutely fantastic. The standard wheel is bad anyway, but when it melts and falls apart its just horrid.

This one looks like a cupped packed 182 or FF (Full Fat). So it has the cup suspension, wheels, spoiler and splitter (Though most tend to be missing the splitter). But also has the full spec from a normal 182, like climate control, half leather seats etc. Definitely the pick of the bunch for the 182's. Cups are a bit pointless, hardly any weight saved and missing the 'premium' parts of the standard 182.
 
Looks very nice!

Because I now have a company car, I'm considering selling my car to get a small car for the girlfriend to drive, I would love one of these but I suspect the insurance for her (only just passed test) would cost a fortune. :(
 
For the splitter, get one for a Skoda Fabia. £11 and does the job well :)

This.

Dead simple to fit and doesnt matter if it takes a bashing. A cat shattered my original one :mad:

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the splitter, a front one presumably, what does a skoda fabia rs on look like on one of these?

Big old thread over on CS.

As for the remap afaik the standard limit is 7200RPM. When I had mine done at Ktec he mentioned the remap moving it upto 7700/7800RPM. However I've not pushed past 7500RPM because she's already screaming like a ***** at this point and my shift light has come on already.
