Any 182 info

[BikeMan]

Just checked www.vavavoom.co.uk">www.vavavoom.co.uk but theres no 182 advert. The Renault site says it should be there, but it isnt.

Anyone seen anything else about the 182 yet?

 

[blink172]

Nah, ive been looking though, Maybe it was just a wind up! Will keep looking though

 

[geordiepaul]

Spoke to my dealer yesterday and they knew nothing about either!!

 

[geordiepaul]

There is something on http://www.renault.co.ukwww.renault.co.uk about a new add but the link just takes you to http://www.vavavoom.co.ukwww.vavavoom.co.uk !!!

 

[Hartge Bob]

Unlike Renault to promise something then fail to deliver (cup seats, rollcage, etc)

Ive just had a look and theres a new advert up, just not for a 182.

Why do you think it would be an ad for the 182 anyway? It doesnt mention it on either site.

 

[jon_r]

if you watch the ad, the clio in the last shot has the new wheels.

 

[Hartge Bob]

It did say 182 on the Renault UK press site.

Just had a look at the ad and the wheels look different on the closing shot (different design and maybe 17")

 

[Hartge Bob]

Just had another look and its got the twin exhausts as well

I noticed the wheels but not the zorst.

*watches it again*

 

[Lee]

Yep, new exhaust too.

I suppose at least its got one showing now, even if it is a bit feeble.

 

[D-CUP]

Yes, it has bigger wheels with more spokes. Although they dont look great. And the blurry pic on the page looks like a new blue colour similar tot he CUP.

 

[geordiepaul]

I cant see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY???

 

[Tom]

No press release yet.

 

[geordiepaul]

it is a cup, that picture is taken from the cup brochure

 

[geordiepaul]

Just noticed the different rear spoiler and the different rear lights!!!

 

[y0z2a]

and the blue one there has colour coded front grill.

 

[Lee]

In the driving scene the wheels look like the existing 172 wheels.

 

[jon_r]

i already have that spoiler. Its all old hat.

 

[badley]

Oh no its got a Cup spoiler
(sorry for those who like it)

Yes they are.

new new wheels are 16 inch versions of the megane rs wheels.

http://www.pbase.com/image/21237627http://www.pbase.com/image/21237627 - those are 18s

(they look bigger tho)

The cup spoiler looks like its been carried over, could be an option tho

 

[geordiepaul]

So does it have 182bhp though??

 

[Tom]

182 ps

That looks like a Cup as it has no headlamp washer jets?

 

[blink172]

Looks like they have mated the 172 and cup and come out with a b*****d child of renaultsport. Take the best of both and sell it for more.

 

[Tom]

Not really.

 

[VX-Tony]

Interestingly that it doesnt look as tho they have cut into the rear bumper for the exhausts

 

[telford_mike]

Is it me or do those exhausts look really gay?

 

[BikeMan]

That exhaust looks crap.

Nice wheels though...

Has anyone noticed the slightly Lexus style rear lights yet??? and the Cup style rear spoiler?

 

[Dave S2K]

Also the wheels in the bottom shot are fairly clearly the standard 5 spokes.

Looks like they are too me as well. Cant really see any difference to the rear lights though......

 

[Ad]

Thought the exhaust would look better too.

 

[Bryan]

wheels = options, you can select different wheels, rather than having standard fit IIRC

rear light = slightly different, but again, an options package

release = expected to be february 2004
