172 C.U.P. (Complete and Utter Poo)

Thanks for the photo, shows the differences perfectly. The letters look a bit off but the numbers are ok.

Took mine off in preparation for new ones cause was missing some of the numbers. Hopefully still have the letters lying around in the garage.

Exactly my thoughts, font is good too just a shame they couldn’t replicate the chrome effect.

Only paid a tenner for my pair of ES badges as I didn’t think I’d get some genuine badges (I did in the end though for a princely sum 🤐) as they turn up on here or eBay occasionally.

Wow that shows the difference very clearly! I saw some for £78 on eBay and thought about it, but the genuine ones might be something I do at the end of any work. Probably when they’re £178!!

Im not sure if you mean you were considering spending spending £78 for the ones currently on Ebay but just in case you are, they are in fact Evil Speed reproductions.

@OP, Thank you for this post, don't feel so bad about my 182 non-cup now, just purchased it and so far spent 1k on it for servicing parts and doing a restoration on it as base car is clean inside and out, I used a sticky stuff remover and then sand blasted and painted the crappy trim bits that were sticky as s#it. Not as cheap a car as I thought it would be.. On a plus note the blue is such a nice colour on your 172 CUP.

Thanks- no, I paid for evil speed ones already! Not at that price. Real ones do seem to be becoming the new bitcoin though.

That's a pretty good profit margin!
