I had the same dilemma with my 182 and fitted all of the above myself.
As you are already paying the labour to replace a lot of the front end components I would go for it.
Also taking into consideration how cheap the Oem wishbones are which come complete with bushes, bottom swivels it’s a no...
knowing first hand how much it costs to get any 182/Trophy to a standard that would entice a true car enthusiast/collector I believe the first 3 cars will sell.
Car number 4 is unfortunately a unicorn that is probably destined for a museum.
I thankfully blame Harry for all this hype but to be...
Good work. I’m sure the short duct route to the brakes will definitely aid cooling to the calipers.
182s always look mean and nasty without front fogs.
Thanks for the link and at a great price too.
Just need to decide on which way to go, Pro or Sport. I do like the look of the lower ride height but after putting my BG back on stock dampers and springs I was quite shocked as to how well she rode on our crap roads.
I have used Poorboys for a few years now on my cars and it easy to apply and buffs off without too much effort.

I spoke Mark Fish this week and I can confirm he can no longer supply the Koni re valved dampers (only the standard Koni sport ones) and also he has changed supplier on his springs to Eibach. He says they are slightly stiffer and lower the ride height by 15mm.
From a recent buyers perspective it is becoming increasingly difficult to find cars in good original condition without Moon mileage.
The best cars will now sell to fellow enthusiasts privately or auction sites where investors will dive in.
The 182 Trophy is at a price point still low enough for...
From a newbies perspective who has just bought a great low mileage car I feel lucky.
These cars have an almost cult following, under 500 cars available and good ones dont come up for sale that often.
I looked for ages before and after Stefans car and they all had either too many miles, mods or...
They would sell like hotcakes if they looked good and the Renault emblem was in the correct chrome effect.
The price of new speedlines is significantly cheaper than a set of secondhand Renault ones plus the refurb costs.
I refurbed the rear beam on my 182 and as ever with Renault they suddenly seem to stop making parts which are handed.
went down the braided brake line route after buying the OS one!
Luckily my original axle clips came off ok and I refitted them with some waterproof adhesive. I know it’s not OEM...
I would be interested in one.
Didn’t realise nearly 2 years ago when I ordered the carbon Ktec one how difficult it would be to get any splitter unless it came from Skoda!
Im not looking to sell the BG until the right Trophy comes along.
342 is almost unusable. Several hundreds to spend on recommissioning and then a world of terror every time it gets dirty and another mile is added on the speedo!!
Hi guys. As above I’m looking for a well loved car but unfortunately my pockets aren’t deep enough for 342!
Ive been lurking here for a while and really warm to the whole low key close community spirit.
Mostly I like the fact that the register gives a fascinating time travel experience into...
