One of the main attractions of a cup is that its possibly the nicest colour of clio (IMO). Only a daft person would respray one another colour.

Or people/garages who dont know what they have or are selling. IMO.

Thats bloody loud.

By the way, if anyone needs a 1 or a 7 just let me know and i'll post it to you. lol.

One of my 2's fell off so i got another one for free from some kind chap on this forum. To be honest if any of my numbers fell of again i'd just take them all off and leave the CUP badges. Looks cool like that anyway.

Erm...they didnt. I saw a garage online once that was selling a RED 172 cup, apparently. Was gonna phone them to point out they were wrong.

I was just gonna say that. 5th gear doing 30? That cant be good for your car. shudder.

Ha ha. I had my 306 for 2 years before i worked out what it was. It bugged me for ages.

I dont know anyone with a clio or i would. None of the scrappys i phoned had a cup/172/182 wheel, but im now at the point where i just want anything that will fit. Wasnt sure if i could use a 15" wheel off a dynamique as a kind of space saver just to get me to a garage. Im not brave enough to...

Im driving to the south of France from Scotland in 2 weeks time in my cup, and im a bit worried about not having a spare wheel. Ive tried a dozen or so scrappys and ebay etc but havent had much luck. Is it safe/advisable to use a 15" clio wheel, as im sure it'd be a lot easier gettin one of those?
