    Salvage Yard

    Is that Furbers down at Childs Ercall? I saw a Cup in there about 6 months back...looked a right mess. It actually hurt me to see what people had ripped off her. The Renault Sport door trims, etc. A moments lack of judgement... :(

    If only!

    The anthracite Turinis are looking absolutely the dogs bolx on that car...good choice! Donny VVVVV As Chris below says, they are the standard wheels for the 172 Cup and the 182 Trophy, but coloured Anthracite (it they are from the Cup) :)

    Warranty Question

    The warranty stays with the car, not the owner, so as long as its done less than 60K, less than 3 years old, and has been through its services at correct intervals, there should be no issue. I bought my car as an ex-demo, warranty fine, and also had to get AA out once when she wouldn't start for...

    CTR VS CLIO 172 Ragnotti (clip)

    Can not decide!!

    Ask yourself one question:- Toys? If you want them, go 182, if not, go 172 Cup (but not at that price the seller is taking the P1$$!!! The thing to remember is, if you get the Cup, you'll always wonder well, what if I bought the 182, and likewise with the 182, you'll wonder What if I'd bought...

    Clio Williams Question

    Because Renault made the Williams engines at that time...Frank Williams et al had no input whatsoever from what I can gather...the car was only made as homolgation for rallying IIRC.

    Williams V 182

    Easy Jon lad!!! ;) As you know, I'm a fan of both the 172 cup and the Williams, remember guys, back when the Williams was created, it broke the mould, and was a picture that most kids had (or wanted to have) on their walls as a poster all those years ago. It was also a car that most kids...

    10 Month Insurance Policies

    Daz, I know it used to be, as when getting my last quotes, Bell wanted £650 whereas everyone else wanted £750-800...so phoned Bell and he said it was a 10 month accelerated quote, so I asked if that would have same benefits as a 12 month policy in terms of no claims discount, he said No, not...

    Are you proud to own a RenaultSport?

    I think that the Car has nothing to do with F1 for me, as I bought the Cup before Renault became really the force that they are now in F1 (I know that they were a force before with Schuey & Benetton). Because there are so many people who have a 1.2 and have put bodykits to make them look faster...

    10 Month Insurance Policies

    I think that the 10 month 'Accelerator' policies are only recognised by the company that provides them , rather than other companies so example Bell, Admiral and Elephant are same group of companies, so they may accept them, whereas the no claims may not be accepted by say Direct Line or Norwich...

    Should I sell my 182 cup for a Fabia VRS

    For a diesel car, they reckon that you have to do circa 17K+ per annum to make up for the amount of premium that a diesel car is over its petrol equivalent, plus the extra cost of diesel over petrol. You can get 40+ mpg out of a 172/182 with the right driving...which I think is V.Good for a...

    2 x Black 182's Penn Road Wolverhampton

    I was on the Birmingham New Road heading into Wolves around this time, there was a Black 182 going towards Birmingham (Dudley if you like) and also one with private reg **** DEB which crossed the new road at Rookery Road, I was in my Cup, so I wasn't one of the ones you saw Chris!! Bump to...

    Advice needed - urgent

    I know its too late now, but next time, put a post-it note in the car with mileage on it when taking it in for a service. For both my 12K and 24K service (with 2 different dealers) they didn't take the car out, the chances are that someone took the car on a 'butty run' or something. They...

    M*** VOF - blue 172 cup?

    Bloody hell...that would be me, but I can't remember driving past anyone in a MKI Clio, there are shedloads of MKIIs around there. I was on way to work, but I was half asleep...and trying to get my backside into Bourneville before 8:30....oh the joys of dodging the rush hour (or should it be...

    Anyone? Just wondering as the cup could do with some and while its a bank holiday, seems like the best time to get it. Thanks Donny

    What do you like best about ya clio...

    I love the handling, some prick in a 200sx (who couldn't handle his car I will add) tried to lose me round an island (roundabout for those outside of W.mids!) and his back end started stepping out on him, when my little poor fwd car was gripping to the road like glue and doing me proud. Also...

    Black Dynamique in Telford

    Ollie, is it a private reg with CLIO in huge letters down the side? If it is, she's always floating round Trench Lock/Hadley/Wellington when I've seen her...doesn't look too impressed when I drive past, obviously no Clio loyalty!!!

    Cliosport Club Stand Entertainment Suggestions

    For all those who know my Mandy, she's offering to do the BBQ (dressed to impress), but it will cost you...after all, there's got to be some talent to impress (read eye candy) around the CS stand! (If needed, she can always join the forum as a member, then she'll be the perfect...

    West Midlands meet pics - 23.04.06

    I went back up the main road in Ironbridge looking for you. We took several wrong turns...Remember where we all did the turn to go round and then back to the carpark? If we hadn't done the turn, and carried on for another ¼ mile we would have met them! Bloomin' Typical!!!

    172 cup vs focus rs vid!

    I think that the guy/girl in the FRS wasn't that good a driver, hence why the cup was all over the back of it. I am a cup owner, and I think if the FRS was being driven by the guy who was driving the cup, after a couple of laps to get used to the car, he'd have left the cup further behind than...

    Chavs in other clios....

    On the A5 between Telford and Penkridge is a good road, with a few no overtaking zones, and is NSA for the main. I was going down there one night to Penkridge at about 11 at night doing 60 or thereabouts...there was some prick with main beam on, and fogs...came right up my arse to the point that...

    Tyre Pressures

    Because of the extra weight with the engine being in the front, I've been putting mine at 32f 30r, but have just started to try 34f 32r to see if the fuel economy is any better as I'm doing a wee bit of mileage, and with the petrol prices slowly rising again, wanna make sure I can get as many...
