The orange is called inferno

182 and 172 are the same pace, so buy accordingly. If you like the twin exhaust, then go for the 182. Cup pack suspension limits you in the way of modding, as the bolt spacing on the hubs are different to that of the standard 182/172

"Full Fat" refers to a standard spec clio with all the toys (auto xenons, climate, half leather) that also has the cup pack (spoiler, splitter, suspension)

Personally, for the price, I'd go for the 172. Much cheaper, hidden tailpipes.

Suppose it depends on colour too.

172 colours - Iceburg silver, pearl black, monaco blue (which I have), mondial blue (cup), Flame red (gorgeous colour)

182 colours - Inferno (pretty sure they were cup only), Pearl black, Atctic Blue, Racing Blue, Titanium silver 9I think)

Main point about these cars is the engine and gearbox. The cambelt MUST be done by a specialist, withthe correct renault tools. They have floating cams and can be easily put a tooth out, causing shite running and power loss. Boxes can be weak if abused.


I will be selling mine in march to fund a fiesta turbo
