i'd go for a mk1 1.8 16v in good condition as it's older it'll be cheaper on the tax, parts should be easier and cheaper to get too, also with it being older insurance would be kinder.
there's always a good chance you'll crash or do some sort of damage to your first car so i wouldnt go...
the 172 and 182 inlet are only different in a position for one securing bolt and a take off for the carbon canister. both of which are not needed.
this inlet is from a 172 but I had it on my 182 trophy for about 6 months without any problems whatsoever
this country is going down hill really quickly
i'll openly admit I only got a d at GCSE english many years ago but the grammer and spelling in this is shocking !
just seems a hell of a lot of damage for hitting a lamp post add to the fact that the airbags didnt fire, the dent that looks more out of place is the one in the roof.
I used work as part of a big body shop in stoke so saw cars coming in quite often never any with every single panel damaged...
the honest reply is that if you have the rs stamped lower half of the inlet there's a marginal increase in power.
if it's a none rs stamped lower half then anything up to 7bhp
