just bought one from my mate for £150, along with a full magnex and de-cat for £190, i take it is obviously a straight swap from his mk2 172 to my 172 cup?
does anyone run this set up and can i expect a nice throaty roar? is it worth getting a dastek or similar now?!
ok ive decided i want to do odd bits to the cup, does anyone have a piperX viper induction kit and is there any noise difference..i want to hear some induction roar..
thanks
why the hell did they stop doing it as an option :( for 27k you get exactly the same seats as the bloody 172, now thats poor, also didnt know there were 3 stages of leather packs... the full one with the engine cover etc is the bizzo!
james..were you wanting leather or something when you...
james...do you have any idea how many were actually specced with full leather? this is the 1st one ive seen for sale ever and the only other one i know is the autocar long termer also in black 04 plate but with white leather
black with full black..i really...really want this car! :(

my cup didnt have one but i got one..looks soo nicer when they are fitted specially colourcoded..and as for being too heavy...weighs a tonne i could hardly pick it up, had to get a mate to help me put it on ;)

my local cruise site..notice how after me and scutch picked up on it hes never replied again..also seems to know very little about "his" car ;)
thats the reason not to buy it back...i can actually afford to save money now, and no plans to do anything at all to the cup as im on a mission for a 255 v6..but arrghh...everytime i see it i want it back!
yes i have to admit i loved that car, (and no im no bloody chav) owned it for 3 years and didnt really want to sell it, but i knew if i didnt sell it then it would keep getting worth less n less, plus i made the mistake of driving a cup :D and signed the line practically as soon as i drove one!
if i scraped it, i could keep the cup...(lets face it..it would be a huge step backwards to that again) but some other biatch is wrecking the car i spent £19000 (could have bought a vee) and got 2 mag features with :(

kind of regret selling it..it was my total pride and joy..love my cup to bits but the lass that bought it is seriously wrecking it and i miss the attention, ive been sitting all morning planning what...
i went from a very heavily modified (double feature car) saxo VTR which just couldnt go fast due to clearance and 18s to a 172 cup, i was still 19 and when i test drove one didnt expect to think much of it..(it was a car id read about but never thought about owning)...but..wow..power power...
just wondering weather to go for a used v6 255 next year or get one of the last 182s with full options, try and get recaros with the full matching interior and in liquid yellow...
my head says the 182..new car, more chuckable...my heart says the vee
jeez you 182 cuppy recarod half luxury people would be lost in a 172 cup! get the recaros and sod the bloody rear seat!
goes like stink on a b-road isnt that what its all about? if you want comfort get a golf diesel!
hi mate, welcome to the club, glad you went for the cup 172 great choice, ive had mine 2 months now and similar aged..im just turned 20 and owned a saxo vtr up till now, didnt even think of a clio until i drove one my dealer had in, was a very expensive test drive!
try...
