installing a Cup pack on a 182

[CMiles1991]

Hi everyone

Im currently in the process of buying a 182. The problem is that i would ideally like one with both cup packs, so i hope this isn't a stupid question...

Is it possible to put the cup pack (either just one or both) on i.e suspension and is there anywhere that could do it?

Cheers

I think one cup pack was cup spoiler, splitter and anthracite wheels. Easy enough to sort. The other was the suspension I think and not sure what else. Cup suspension has different hub spacings for the shocks I think, so not sure if you have to change the hubs. However, non-cup suspension is cheaper to upgrade to coilies and has more choice.

It can be done, but will cost you too much for it to be worth while. As said, just buy coilies, it will prob be the same money!

Cup packs are MASSIVELY over-hyped on here.

Pack 1 - Splitter/Spoiler - Splitter is usually missing because it falls off the second it comes in contact with anything. Spoiler is just a tiny bit bigger.

Pack 2 - Wheels/Suspension - Wheels are ugly anyway so most people change them. Suspension isn't much different at all. 3mm lower. None-Cup Pack suspension also gives you more choice for aftermarket suspension options.

Personally, I'd just get one that's in good condition, serviced etc etc.

The wheel hubs are different on 182 Cup pack & 182 Cup V 182 poverty spec-

therefor the suspension cannot be swopped straight over

Cheers for the responses its helped loads!

Ive noticed a lot without the splitter's on, but is a splitter worth putting on but the handling on a standard 182 seems fine as it is?

The only thing i'd want off the cup packed one is the spoiler which imo really tidies up the back end.

 

[CMiles1991]

Cheers. kind of contrasting opinions whether its worth putting the cup packs on then. I'll have to look into the other options if they are better

 

[jack_kemp]

A lot of people put cup spoilers and splitters on. The rest is worthless.

Horses for courses in terms of price to buy- cheaper non cup pack-

However desirability to sell--- Cup packs FTW-- For the difference in price I would wait for a cup packed one-

I'm looking at a 182 tomora with no cup packs! It's got full service history and 1 owner I dnt want cup packs. I want to do my own thing and not do what others do!

The Cup spoiler can be had 2nd hand for around £150, £10 pounds for a Fabia splitter and then just get some Eibach Sportlines (£140) to make the handling/looks better than a Cupped one anyway. Job done!

If we're splitting hairs, the hubs on a Cup packed 182 are uprated from a regular 182...

It's not all about the ride and height

On the 200, the steering rack is quicker too, unsure if that's the same on a 182?

With the fabia splitter, whats the best way to get one i.e where from and is it easy enough to fit myself or ....

I don't think you could be anymore wrong on this. I don't think I've ever seen a 182 in the flesh without standard alloys. My 6 year old 182 still has its splitter and the spoiler if far bigger and noticable, as opposed to the "lip" on standard 182's. A standsrd. 182 looks unfinished.

Have you ser driven a 182 with cup packs? There is a big difference.

The OP should shop around for a 182 with the packs already on. He won't regret it.

 

[CMiles1991]

Been out today and brought a 182 cup!

The only problem is it hasnt got the splitter on so if everyone thinks its a good idea, ill get a fabia one?

 

[DrR]

Mint where did you bring it to?

I got mine from VW. Fit it the same way you would fit a cup splitter (clamp it in place and use self tapping screws into the bottom of the bumper, though you do have to cut it down a touch at the ends. For the money I dont think it's worth paying anymore, plus I now prefer the Skoda splitter as it's more flexible and durable than the Cup one.

What do ya mean matey?

 

[Jonny1*2]

it's purely cosmetic, so just get any reasonably looking black plastic down there

I don't think their is a massive over hyping of the cup packed 182. It is better than the 182 standard. Not a huge difference, but an evolution no the less.

 

[CMiles1991]

Yeah thats what i thought. Only had it a day and i love it already. going from a 1.2 clio to a 182 cup is just... awesome? or stupid i havent decided

 

[Aaron182]

how comes 182s are quoted 180bhp and 182cup 182bhp ?

 

[JCC]

^ You're reading figures from a website that's a load of nonsense, that's why.

Ive owned both, no noticable difference to drive, the cup packed ones look a bit better with the slightly bigger spolier.

They're not 180bhp or 182bhp. Lol.
182 ps is where the name comes from, the engines in both are identical.

^^^ I've also driven both, there's more difference between one 182ff and another than there between a FF / cup packs.

I have also owned both. There is a noticable difference without a doubt.
