Hi All, The time has come now where all my alloys need refurbing due to flaking paint/corrosion and some light scuffs on one. Does anyone have any reccomendations on a good company to use in the midlands or warwickshire region? Also, will they take the tyres off and refit and rebalance...

'03 Clio Cup 172 My Alarm keeps going off randomly (Standard Renault/Cobra Alarm). I then unlock the car to dissarm the alarm, but when I go to lock the car again it starts off with a high pitch constant beep under the bonnet, leading to the full alarm going off. I have tried opening doors and...

Hi All, I have had my '03 Cup for a year now and ever since I got it, it has had really annoying squeeky wipers. A few months back I tried to rectify th problem by lubricating the mechanism at the base of the drivers side wiper but no joy. I have since realised that the squeeking cannot be...

Think i'm gonna keep it standard. It drives really well at the mo and don't want to ruin it! A quick question: Its 2003 and done 30,000 miles (just) so should I get the cambelt done? My mate says I need it doing urgently, but I wouldnt imagine they perish like they used to with age? has anyone...

I was in my Cup 'playing' with a black GTI-6 round Burton-on-trent. I went round a roundabout and the Cup stuck like sh*t to a blanket (as usual) and the GTI-6 tried to keep up and went straight on with understeer, ploughing straight into a barrier on the outside of the roundabout! The worst...

cant remember where i was thurs, but I use that road all the time. Mines a 172 Cup with Anthracite Turini's.

Mines still alive! I agree that the lack of luxury adds to the appeal for me. Its an incredibly involving drive. Plus, as a bonus, I can get my whole drum kit in the back for gigging! (with the seats flat!) and leave the passenger seat clear! I've never driven a normal 172 or 182, but I...

Hi all. Thought i'd finally get some pics of the Cup uploaded. Had it nearly 6 months now and I am absolutely chuffed with it. Not planning any mods. Gonna leave it how it is. Did think about coilovers but really dont want to malest her. Also, i'm amazed at how good on fuel it is! Its not...

Hi all, I’m looking at upgrading the sound system in my ’03 172 Cup, and need some advice. I’ve installed Subs in all of my previous cars, but really don’t want to install a sub this time (due to practicality and rattling etc). So I really want to upgrade the Head unit, and run upgraded...

Pulling out of work, and noticed a Trophy in the car park! Never seen it before though!

Spotted in car park behind the salvos! Blue, silver turinis and 3/4 number plate me thinks!

cool cheers. i'll hav a look for that stuff

Hi All, My girlfriends Clio has a dull section on the front bumper, which just doesn't shine like the rest of the car. Is there any polish I can use to try and buff it up and improve the shine? To be honest, i'm not sure whether its just a bad respray job or spot repair, although the...

Ive got one month left on my 18 month contract with T-Mobile, and they still wont upgrade me till the end of that month!
