Can't remember where I saw it but I've seen a pic of a white 182 - looked absolutely fantastic. If I could change one thing about the Trophy it would probably be to paint it white.

- Rear windscreen wiper will do a sweep if you have your front wipers on and engage reverse - FORGOT THAT
- Mirrors heat up to clear condensation/frost when the rear demister is activated - FORGOT THAT
- Front windscreen wipers will do a 'paused' second sweep if using the water spray in order to clean any residual water marks - AND THAT
- Various codes presented by the alarm LED depending on what has triggered the system - KNEW THAT BUT AINT GOT A CLUE WHAT THE FLASHES REPRESENT
- Removal of Isofix rear bar to save a few kilos (if you don't have the need for children seating fixtures) - WHAT IS IT???
- Removal of acoustic valve to free airflow (put in place to meet EU noise compliance) - NEED TO GET THIS DONE
- Clip on interior of glovebox door to hold cards (I use mine to hold my Esporta card) - FORGOT THAT
- Hook on petrol filler cap to hold petrol cap while filling tank - AND THAT
- Velcro in boot (which holds the car jack) can be expanded to accommodate a warning triangle - WONDERED WHY IT WAS SOOOO LONG
- There is a rectangular 'cubby' area under passenger front seat to store items such as wheel locking nut, first aid box etc. - NEVER LOOKED BUT IT's ANOTHER TOY FOR ME TO USE :)


That's all I can think of at the moment...

Cheers

empty out your glove box and at the back on the roof of the glove box you'll see a little blue plastic cover - slide this left or right (can't remeber which way) and there's a hole that's revealed. When the air con is on it also feeds the glove box via this hole - A ready made drinks chiller for the summer months and heater for the winter :)

- Velcro in boot (which holds the car jack) can be expanded to accommodate a warning triangle, you can also store the locking wheel nut adapter in here
- There is a rectangular 'cubby' area under passenger front seat to store items such as wheel locking nut, first aid box or rubbish if you're my passenger it would seem

Found out in the last down-pour that when you come to a complete stop at a set of traffic lights with the wipers on a non-stop speed setting, they slow down automatically to an intermediate setting. Until you set off again onto your journey. Magic.

BTW I have the wiper upgrade so I don't know if the standard ones are magical too.

Asim, have you got a sound clip of your Orbisoud?

One more I forgot: Your trip meter will automatically reset (including MPG and all the other measurements) when you hit 9999 miles (I did not reset my one for that period!).

For those of you who don't have an iPod adapter, you can buy a cable on eBay for about £12 that plugs into the back of the stereo, i've got mine dropped around the back and into the back of the glovebox, it's good because you can attach anything with a headphone port to the stereo and the cable just stows away nicely in the glove box so no gippos know you've got an iPod or similar that might be in the car. You can then use the iPod to change songs (which happens to sit quite nicely in the clock niche) because using the stalk or head unit can be a real pain for finding the song you want when there are 5000 on it. Downside - doesn't charge it, but you can buy a 12V charger I suppose.

Hmm... that's odd. I am pretty sure mine reset itself! Hmm...

isn't the wire under the seats a pressure sender to detect if someone is sitting on them - and then in conjunction with the seatbelt sensor works out if it needs to beep at you?
