They all look nice, apart from the storm grey 200, that looks like it's driven by a hairy weirdo that can't play guitar to save his life.

I'm liking it a lot, handles awesome, plenty of power, still loads of fun to drive although not in the same way as previous Clio 172/197. Getting around 24mpg, which is not awful, that's on short runs 9 out of 10 times to work or Peterborough.

Didn't go back that far, but if I continue.... Mitsubishi Colt CZT, Hyundai Matrix, MG ZS, Kia Picanto!!, Ford Ka, Ford Escort. I liked the Kia!

I like the colour, but I am a fan of orange things in general! Would have loved a yellow GT4 though! Car right before this was an astra sri, before that megane gt dci, 172 cup, saab turbo, 197 ff with cup etc etc, I change cars a lot but am hoping to keep this one for a while.

Thought I'd post a couple of pictures, had it a couple of weeks now, its cool!! Very dirty in the pictures though!

I quite often pass a black 182 going the other way when I go to work around 8 in the mornings, near the Edith Cavell roadworks, heading towards town when I head towards Orton. And last night near the dump roundabout, a blue 182 which I don't think is one I've seen before. I'm in my 350z...

This makes me feel much better about getting 23 in my 350z!

29 and from Saturday a Nissan 350z.

One just appeared at a local garage, looks like it has both cup packs? A bit older, more miles, but still pretty low mileage, just waiting for a call back about SH, keys, cambelt etc. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201024361366531/

Has anyone driven a 182 with and without cup suspension? And is there a big difference? A local dealer has a 182 with only 20,000 miles on it, but neither pack. I realise what the packs are, just more to do with what it actually did to the suspension.

I tried search to find something on this, but is there much of a difference between a 182 with neither pack, and one with the chassis pack? I know the other pack was cosmetic. What did the cup do to the 182 chassis/suspension (I know it added the anthracite wheels)? I owned a 172 cup...

So insurance companies won't increase the premium loads because of all the mods then?! Plus the stupid cost of doing it in the first place. The point in an Astra SRi is that they are cheap and work. What is the point of your face?

What is the point exactly?

They seem a lot more popular then the 197's were, tonnes of them on the roads around here.

If I was going to buy a secondhand one, I wouldn't get one without the cup chassis, so I would think about the resale too.
