Plain on a van maybe, but on a Cup it would look immense. Not a flat white but a proper nice metallic/pearlescent white. Agree with the black turinis or even antracite (sp!), would be great.

Pearlescent White with the Turinis refurbed in white would look absolutely stunning. Not sure if it would be best with black bump strips or colour coded though, I would lean towards black. P.S. Mondial Blue is the easiest colour of any car Ive ever owned to keep clean! Especially after a few...

They look like Toyo Proxes (T1-R?)

Renault officially claim 0-62 is 7.4 for the 172 and 6.9 for the Cup. Although in all honesty we buy Cups because they are cheaper and (in my opinion) look better.

A high mileage unmodified Valver for £2k or less would make a fun second car for the track, suprised they dont get picked up for that sort of use.

Nice. Have they moved the aerial to accomodate the V6 spoiler? Loads of Txx PHY plates going cheap (£245) on New Reg if you fancy one.

They look mint on a Cup, had a few comments about how nice they look. Flash perfectly amber, I tested it by having one on and the normal indicator on the other, virtually no difference when indicating. I got mine from Powerbulbs (Osram Diadems) How do they look pants? Very confused, like...

For £395 more I got a mint 53 plate (Dec 03) on 8400 miles from a dealer a few weeks ago, and that included a private Cup plate. Admittedly that was a good deal but I only had to wait 2 or 3 weeks (I checked here and AutoTrader daily) for a good one to come up locally. I would push for £7250...

Passed a black 182 today near Melksham around 11:15am, I was behind a 350Z (driving like a complete tit) and a Marcos Mantis race car on the back of a car trailer. Made me want a black car again until about 5 minutes later when I remembered what cleaning one was like!

Whats that "Greddy" thing on the plate? Oddly enough I seen this in hooooge letters on the back of a 206 today.

All well and good but if someone with these sorts of plates happens to drive away from an accident (not suggesting you would, but people do) its a bloody nightmare to compose yourself and read it when its shooting off into the distance. Dont need to do something wrong yourself for it to be a...

So negligable it doesnt matter. Seems like a fair response!

HP is PS divided by 1.0139. Therefore 182ps would be 179.5bhp. But 182bhp would be 184.5ps! 172ps is just shy 0f 170bhp. [Edited by ukaskew on 22 June 2005 at 10:58pm]

Seats are ok, nothing to write home about. My Dynamique seats are much nicer and still look perfect after two years, but my Cup seats have a few threads coming loose already (16 months old) even though I keep it in perfect condition. I will be replacing them with some Corbeau seats later this...

Quality quote! I do enjoy washing my car as well which is a bit odd, do it weekly at least. I racking up 500 miles a week though since I got it (for no particular reason, usual mileage is 250max) so its a justified clean!

I just clean them when I clean the car with my NXT shampoo and wash mitt, and then avoid them when I wax or whatever, always done the job for me.

My 172 Cup by a mile. Just feel happy to drive it anywhere. I still just go out for a drive when I have a spare hour or two, never know where Im going to go but usually find some good roads. I did over 500 miles of "nothingness" in my first week and I thought it would die off, but another 1000...

I can see it now, the silver bit on the end of my door would look lovely if it said 1.998 16V ;)

Apart from the insane price of A172 CUP and C172 CUP I have never seen "X172 XXX" plates for sale on the various plate sites. Yet driving to work this morning I followed a C172 XXX and then a T182 XXX (just on vans). Im guessing as they are standard format plates they are deemed not worthy of...

Is this a national thing? The dealership where I bought my 1.2 Clio from has invited me to what appears to be a fairly entertaining evening on July 13th. Its me +1 and my "team" (me and my gf) do a motorsport challenge, a racing simulator basically. The winning team gets hospitality tickets to...

Easy enough stuff. If you want to give it back give customer services a call (0845 601 0033), they will ask you to send them in writing stating that you would like to voluntarily terminate your agreement, and the following details: Account No. Mileage Tax remaining Insured or not...

Ive been considering some Corbeau seats for my Cup, despite it being immaculate inside and out the seats dont seem like they will last more than a few years, pretty awful quality. The Targas look interesting, great price too for the blue ones. Anyone know of anybody here who has Corbeau seats...

You sure as hell dont want one initially in the winter (if my first experiences in the wet are anything to go by) so that leaves, erm, how did they sell over 2000?! Its really not that bad without aircon, 31deg and we all freak out, -2 and we all freak out. Ive spent enough time in places such...

My boss was driving through Trowbridge on Saturday and spotted a 172 Cup with "XXX CUP" numberplate, started waving frantically thinking it was me and then realised it wasnt! Not sure what the chances of that are (Ive only ever seen two Cups in this area, never with a similar plate) but she was...

http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/7386162-M.jpg http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/12717213-M.jpg Experienced 6R4s for the first time last year at Combe, incredible machines, the pace of them was absolutely ridiculous.

Lack of heat reflective windshield makes a suprising difference, the Cup and Dynamique were both out on the drive today, the temp in the Cup felt considerably higher and steering wheel was hotter. I dont even use the manual air thing in my Cup, windows seem to do the job fine as long as its...

32deg indicated in my cup today, lovely with the windows down though. Never had aircon and never want it to be honest, it wont get a great deal hotter than it was today in this country and that was perfectly bearable.

Although no official ones go on the underside of the spoiler as far as I aware, so those are probably aftermarket ones (not that it matters, just that there are some truely bad aftermarket jobbies on Racing Blue 182s where the lines arent even straight or evenly spaced!)

Honestly? Front looks ridiculous, doesnt suit the Clio at all. If I was spending up to a grand on my 1.2 16V it would be coilovers and a few minor engine mods, then you would have a seriously entertaining car on the twisties. [Edited by ukaskew on 18 June 2005 at 5:00pm]
