Viewing - checking for cup suspension



I

illmonkey

Going to see a car tonight, it's got the front splitter but not the rear brake light. So unsure if it's got the spoiler pack, that I'm less bothered by. Is there any easy way to check for the suspension pack? I've seen people measuring suspension compontants, nothing obvious? It's got black wheels, but could have been added at any point.
It's got A/C, xenons etc, so is it a boggo one with just a front splitter and dark wheels? Can it be checked from the plate?

Hey There - If you take a look at the "sticky threads" at the top of this section "Clio Discussion" there is a guide to 172/182 spec and cup packs etc.. plus buying guides etc.. Hopefully it can help with your suspension query

Thanks, I've had a read and seems you need to get it up on a jack and measure stuff. I was hoping there was a plate checker or something. Would Renault tell me if I called with a plate?

Had to rotate, only side on image on ad. I take it you are looking at ride height?

As you can see, no cup brake light, but black wheels.

There were 2 options . Option 1 ,Cup suspension ( slightly lower and stiffer ) and anthracite wheels , the 2nd option was the cup rear spoiler and front splitter . Obviously the anthracite wheels could have been added or refurbed at a later date so that's no definitive answer as to whether it has the cup suspension or not . Likewise the front splitter could have been added afterwards . I'd think it highly unlikely somebody changed the cup spoiler for a standard one.
Phone Renault customer service and give them your VIN number and they'll tell you what options it has , if any .

Thanks for all the advice. Turns out, even though I arranged a viewing on Sat (for the first time he could show it), his mate went over an hour earlier and offered full asking.

Oh no! If you become a "paid up full member" on here, you will be able to view the "cars for sale" section. If your able to take your time, wait for the right car to come along. Good Luck with finding something
