Alexiooo's Mondial 172 Cup.



  Mondial 172Cup (A/C)
Hey guys, been a member on here a year or so and finally managed to start doing stuff to my Cup, so I thought it would be best to start a thread of my own.

I bought "him" (his name is Claude en Bleu) in May 2010 with 37k on the clock and fresh out of a major service with belts done at 35k.

After buying it, I sold my 206cc and due to my stupidness left a box of service receipts in the boot of the 206 so have lost pretty much everything. :(

Anyway, she still runs like a dream and had next to no problems with him and now tootling up to the 60k mark. Only problems I've had is the exhaust hanger perishing twice and a blowing mid section which has been replaced.

An planning on putting him through a service when I get back from Italy next week, and doing the belts again and replacing a leaky rear shock.

Today, I fitted a new 3/4 front plate, replaced a cracked N/S fog light, and fitted a skoda splitter. Next up, will be some Sportlines, a wheel refurb, bumper insert and grille respray, and freshen up the bullets and strips.

Comments and criticism welcome. :)

Yeh, I'm keeping mine as standard as possible but with slight tweaks to enhance it. Think people use the term "OEM+"...

really like the 3/4 plate, where did you order it from? and whats it stuck on with?
 
  Mondial 172Cup (A/C)
Cheers guys! Hey Calum! I wondered how long it would take you to get on here! Cheers josh!

I got the plate from fancyplates.com

Front and rear plates came to about £22 I think. Stuck on with the sticky strips that come provided with the plates.

Been busy at work for a long time so have used my well-earned week off by putting it through a service and had its belts done.

Now massively skint and still need a new set of tyres next month. Any suggestions for rubber and best place to get it? Is online cheapest?

Looks a lovely one bud, prima racing do a really good exhaust mount, i'd take the CS sticker off the bootlid thou lol
 
  Mondial 172Cup (A/C)
Thanks man... Yeh, I've gone off the sticker on the back, I'm looking at getting a new bootlid anyway as mine needs re-lacquering...
 
  Mondial 172Cup (A/C)
I've sorted the exhaust issues anyway, I only pay £4 for the standard exhaust mount anyway so i would much rather buy a new one each time it breaks.

Nah, I put the sticker on when it was fine, I've since been a bit heavy handed with a pressure washer and took the lacquer off the left hand side of the boot lid. It's otherwise mint.

Has been a while since I've posted anything decent in here...

I've recently put Claude the Clio through a big service, belts, new radiator, T1R's all round and just ordered a KTR Supersport stealth exhaust.

Today I took the upper and lower grilles, fog surrounds and inlet off and sprayed them to freshen up the look of it and I'm chuffed with how it's come out!

Hey guys. Bit of an update.

KTR Supersport is on and sounds loud!!! Have spent a lot of effort getting looking mint. Re-lacquered the side strips, sprayed and lacquered the bullets in a sparkly silver. Polished, waxed, de-tarred, de-bugged, and it's looking smart! Literally cleaned inside and out and every single bit of paintwork, both outside, inside, the door shuts, and engine bay have been cleaned so they are spotless. Chuffed to bits!

I have a cup and the strips are matte, are yours the same? Did you literally just put some lacquer over them? They look good, I hate the matte trims.

Finally managed to find a mint sport interior for my Cup... Took me 4 hours to fit and got major sunburn in the process!

Great so far mate really appreciate the subtle changes, how much did you manage to pick up the sport interior for if you don't mind me asking?
