Valuable knowledge for another day. My Cup has a repaired chip but sooner or later or if it gets cracked I'll need to replace it and I was scared it have to put a horrible full weight screen in (we couldn't have that now could we?) Actually I've always wondered, does polycarb not mist/frost as...

In the meantime get a bit of string just a bit shorter than the size of the boot opening :) Or tape a brick to the inside of the tailgate so it won't open as fast or as far.

They're delivering my rear dampers on Tuesday, they're being dropped off by the van :) £35 including VAT, fantastic :)

If you didn't want a firm ride why'd you get a Cup? Waste of a good Cup. Some people. SMH. I have eibachs on mine, ride is firm but then I need new dampers. The "stance" is ok but I'm not a girl about these things, I want my car to go fast, not look fast.

once you've got the payout and it's all blown over, slash his tyres and tip sugar in his tank. f*%£&king w$^aS$"£(%£s learn to f%$Q£(WWKING DRIVER YOU B%)^^EE%RD! Or something like that. "oh yea uh.. I wasn't paying attention and I just sort of drove into your car.. sorry" C**T!

carnt? comfuzzled? guyss? ffs. Does it sound like an exhaust rattle? if it does it's probably your exhaust. If it rattles when you rev in neutral there's not really anything else it could be, unless you've managed to knacker a mount or something. the gear linkage is quite exposed (at least on a...

err no, the bolt spacing is the same for cup or non on the 172 and I was under the impression that sportlines are "-15mm" but whether that's -15 on a non-Cup or -15 on a Cup idk! When I'm a grownup and rich and famous and have my own car company I will publish all the spring lengths and...

Yea bit of a pita considering LEDs are super reliable and everything. Be careful not to snap your bank card. I used my work security pass thingy cos it's nice and thick (oo er). @bozo it's an LED unit, no individual bulbs, it's a circuitboard with resistors and LEDs on it.

It looks pants you f**king chavs.

I managed to pull my wire out far enough. Whip the spoiler off (p*$h easy, 4 screws inside the tail gate, no trim removal necessary) and see if you can free up some slack. There's a second connector (round black thing) under the spoiler and also the washer pipe which just pulls off. If you can...

So does anyone know the respective stiffnesses of the 172 Cup and non-Cup dampers and how to tell the two apart? All four dampers will come to ~£140? I found these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Koni-Renault-Clio-2-Sport-2-0-16V-172-Hp-99-04-Rear-STR-T-Shocks-Dampers-/280969204412 but don't know if...

I bought two AD08s off Ears last week, ordered thursday, delivered friday. 195/45s were impossible to find so I got 205/45/16s for the 172 Cup. I think it's only 9mm difference on total diameter so better than fitting 195/50s like the non-cups have. Now worried I won't get to put the same on...

Apologies if I should be able to find this but I have tried.. I think I need new dampers, probably best to start with the rears cos they're easiest and most likely to go, right? Hopefully you lovely people can answer a few questions.. So as far as I know they're the same spacing as non-cup 172...

Still think your current wheels look good. Maybe get them in some kind of extra shiny finish??

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Terrible to think that someone might see this thread and believe it though. @Rob, are you being sarcastic? Am I going to die?

There's a lot out there being sold as Cups which aren't Cups. Was a right mare when I was looking for one. Although that one doesn't even say it's a Cup. Would imagine something like mycarcheck will only list it as "Clio 2.0 16v" or "Clio Sport". e.g. when I put my reg into blackcircles it'll...

So what if I'm using my phone in sat-nav mode and it's sat in a mount but I'm typing in a postcode while driving?

I don't understand how you failed to judge his speed well enough to avoid a crash but can be certain it was above the limit. The fact that you saw him but now say he wouldn't have seen you.. well, surely then that makes it entirely your fault? His speed is irrelevant. He could have been doing...

Not the clip that's loose but rather the sun visor doesn't clip very tightly into it and I think maybe that's part of the reason it doesn't push up as high as I'd like, sun visor for me has to be practically pushed against the screen.

you were on your way home then? does that mean we work on the same road? :D

Were you the Trophy I just saw about an hour ago? Had a big sticker across the back bumper. Forget what it said..

Will 205/45s fit the Turinis and will any old tyre fitter be able to fit them? Need to get it done asap and my usual garage is closing for 2 weeks so was gonna get a mobile fitter in. Also does anyone see any problem in putting my front tyres (195/45 Sport Contact 3 with plenty of tread) on the...

There's an old broken one opposite the Elf on mine, I think it's the best place for being spotted by fellow CS members ;) Former owner gave me his pack with the car including new sticker only it's gone all wibbly and fallen apart. Waiting for my pack to arrive now (I think it's been 2 weeks) for...

I am but I'm talking about the roundabouts down by the other slightly smaller Tescos with the petrol station. But if you've seen me by the M6 roundabout/big Tescos/Toys R Us then yea that's me :)

fake "carbon" vinyl wrap, although vinyl is technically a carbon back bone polymer :p

It was not long before I posted so some time between 5-5:30? There was a black civic next to you at the roundabout and me in a MB Cup behind that. Civic driver must have been a bit miffed cos I meeped at a Volvo in front of the two of us who practically stopped on the A46 roundabout then again...

erm not really, try another dealer. what do you mean wouldn't let you? were you driving like a div? I know I've been given the keys to a 172 and left to do drive on my own. he was like "which ones ur car?" and I pointed at my car and he's like "k, here go" but tbh he seemed like a bit of a dodgy...

ffs don't let us make your mind up, go drive one and drive a GTI too. Easy to find a 1*2 at a dealer and probably not too hard for GTIs either. Don't bother with the Mk3 Golf though.

Seriously? The thumbgrips? That's what you pick on?
