So this morning I took it out for a drive along a nice selection of roads to a PistonHeads Sunday service at Denbies Vineyard in Dorking. Great selection of performance vehicles both new and old with a wide range of manufacturers on display. Roads were empty but wet and slippery in places and...

I plan on taking it out early tomorrow am for a blast around a good selection of b roads. I'll update afterwards.

I'm interested in coming to some meets. I'm in Camberley.

Okay thanks there's some good input there with a common theme of taking it out for a blast at the weekend and spending time enjoying it. I've been doing some research of good A & B roads in and around my area to enjoy and I'm open to the idea of taking the car to places away from my area maybe...

No all factory spec/OEM parts

Yes it's a 172 Cup...lol I'm 6 foot tall and the driving position just doesn't work for me, the more I try to make the position better I seem to make it worse. Find me a taker at £5k and I will

Last year I owned a 2001 BMW E46 330Ci which was a lovely cruising car that was very comfortable but not a drivers car.

After 15 years of pining to own a Cup 172 I purchased a mint example with just 35k miles in full factory spec in early September. Since then I've put 4 new Conti Sport tyres on it and put it through an MOT which it passed needing nothing more than a hazard light switch. I'm proud to finally own...

Not a brilliant idea for the organisers to have hosted this the same weekend as the final round of BTCC going on at Brands Hatch which had the title decider go down to the final race.

Since having these replaced I must admit it drives and handles so much better, can't understand why you'd put the larger tyres on has it massively compromised the handling.

Spotted going through Pirbright Village, down to Fox Corner then up Berry Lane heading towards Woking. cliosport.net sticker in the rear screen, made me glad to own one as well. Look mint from where I was trying to keep up in the other halfs Megane 3.

new key batteries, new osram blue intense H7 bulbs and got dip beam pattern adjusted.

price compared to Michelin PS3 even with my discount through work and an array of tyre suppliers I have access to they were still big money. good reviews from various people on here, pistonheads and work friends who own/owned RS models. If I remember correctly Continentals were the O.E spec tyre...

I've decided to go for a set of Continental CONTI SPORT 3 in 195/45/16 V

SADLY NO LONGER SUPPLIED BY RENAULT FRANCE

I'll have a look tomorrow when I'm back in the office and let you know

I found when pushed hard in a straight line it felt vague and wondered and through the bends felt heavy.

Hi, sure this has been discussed but wanted to ask. I have just bought a 2002 172 cup with standard 16" Turini wheels which is running Hankook Ventus V12 tyres in 205/45/16, are these correct? I ask because it seems to tramline and is worse one rough roads which has had roadworks to one side...

Yes mate, SMC Motorgroup in Woking

oh I will I can assure you of that. Working as a parts manager at my local Renault dealer means I have access to all genuine parts at cost prices. What I can't source from RUK I can locate on here or ebay using the O.E number from Dialogys.

My younger days consisted of driving many a car without abs, my favourite by far was a 1988 Citroen AX GT.

Bought this one yesterday

It will spend most of the winter in the garage and I will use the the other half's Megane 3. I've driven several older cars without abs over the years... In the words of a certain former Top Gear presenter "how hard can it be?"

I hope your right having just bought one with just 35k miles in o.e spec

I purchased the stunning condition 172 CUP today from @Somnambulis. Very impressed so far with the car and hoping for many years of fun with the car both on the road and hopefully meeting some other like minded Clio enthusiasts.

Having read the other post opened up on this same vehicle only a few days ago I'm not going to waste any more time thinking about it and walk away. Somethings not quite right about it and I've got enough time to find the right one. Thanks for your input @imprezaworks

Yes, I've noticed it across several different selling sites for well over a month now. At no point has the garage reduceded the price. I fear there's more to this then meets the eye.

Hi I'm interested in a Clio 172 Cup and found one on ebay at a used car sales Centre in High Wycombe for £3995. It's listed as having done just 41k miles and appears standard. Out of interest i did a MOT history checker and discovered it's not had any MOT since Jan 2013 at which point it had...

Just run a VHC on it, it's had 4 previous owners with the most recent being October this year. Makes me a bit suspicious as to why it's up for sale so soon after buying it. Probably a legitimate reason I'm sure but does ring alarm bells. I did a check on the Renault UK database at my work and it...

Hi I've seen a phase 2 172 in flame red on offer for just under £1000 local to me at a trader. It's done 133k miles with a recent belt & dephaser change. Looks in good condition on the outside. Hoping to test drive on saturday. Just wondering if anyone on here had either owned it at some point...
