Hey everyone! My name is Ryan Whytock, I just recently bought my 182 and I actually think the previous owner was a member of this forum as it already has a Cliosport.net sticker on the rear window . I bought it off a lad called Jordan in York so you may already know him. Anyway I'll attach pictures of the car to see if you recognise it. It's only my second car and it's an upgrade from my 1.2 Punto so ha! I love it!

Thanks mate! I love it so much, it's a proper upgrade compared to my old car. Just gave it a good hoovering inside and gonna get a machine polish done to it in a few weeks to get it to how I want it:up:. It's already a clean car but I don't mind paying for it to be done and then just keep on top of it .

Our detailing section is a fantastic resource for tips and advice mate. Black cars are notoriously hard to maintain but when they're done properly they look epic.

I'll have a look then , just waiting till I get paid on Friday to become a member as I've just spent the rest of my wages tax'ing the bloody thing ha! Then I'm gonna have a look through the guides etc. and see if anything takes my fancy . Very excited though to see what the future holds for this car

Thank you Nik . I picked a proper bargain up! £2,400 with 58,000 miles, belts and dephaser done by ClioTurbo within the last 6 months. Brand new brake pads etc. put onto it, real nice clean car. Just needs a steering wheel re-trim really but all in good time seen as though the insurance decided to have their way with me:down:. Mind you, £1,400 for a year with me as the policy holder and the main driver (I'm 21 with 3 points) and I have no claims bonus at all as I've only ever been a named driver.. Was a nightmare to get insured. More Then wanted £3,240 or something like that! Ridiculous!

Looking good, definitely an upgrade, a black 182 is my second car and from a 1 litre it certainly does have the power, looking very good sir, welcome along

A good cheapish mod is an rs tuner not had one but heard that they make the driving better. You dont gain any extra hp, but makes it alot better to drive
