The 208 seems to be a step in the right direction for Peugeot and the competition can only be a good thing. It wouldn't tempt me out of a 200 EDC or lightly used Megane though.

I get a subscriber copy so it doesn't have the same cover. It's issue 247 though, May 2018. Peugeot has the legs initially but the Renault chassis shines through with better feel, ride and handling. Good result considering the 208 GTi is their current pick of the mini hot hatches (no Fiesta ST...

Fortunately I'll never have to consider buying a cat for a Ferrari!

New issue of evo landed this morning. It's got a nice twin test of alien green CL10 CUP against the new Peugeot 208 GTi in Wales. Let's just say, even with 8 years extra development the competition hasn't quite caught up.

Looks great! That will be a cracking car. Cheeky request - don't suppose you would be willing to part with some of the stripped bits (cash of course)? I've got some pieces I would like to source (in good condition) to get my 172 Cup complete. - handbrake surround - rear carpet - left and right...

I like it a lot but I think it suits the visibly modded cars better like yours. I'm planning to keep mine looking standard. Next up is wheel refurb then I've got a scuff to sort. I had thought that would be it but I don't really like the new cheap backbox on it. So probably need to factor in...

Looks great! Was that the one for sale in Aberdeen on Gumtree by chance? If so, it looked a bargain. I'm sure it will be cracking once you get the bits and bobs done to it. Nice TME by the way.

Thanks! Sounds like a very nice car you have got. I'll definitely keep the Whiteline in mind for some point.

Looks brilliant with that. Not seen a Cup with one before.

Folks, My car has a few bits of trim missing which were taken out previously to save weight. I'd like to source them and stick them back on so it's complete. I need a handbrake trim cover, rear carpet (may come as one as half cut out), boot liner trim / carpet. Being a 172 Cup are these...

Awesome video. I was so hoping you were going to find a nice country road at the end!

Good luck with the sale. Awesome car for that money.

Nice cars! Great dyno figures out the Clio. Bet that shifts nicely.

Have you got a thread? If not get one up! Sounds great. Certainly taking it to the right place. Barrie, Brian and the guys are first class. Will be interesting to see what spec you opt for.

Ace!! Yep up for that! Another nice Cup there. Are you in Edinburgh?

Haha! I saw the pics of your car and thought yours was more in the £3k+ bracket lol! It looks a beaut. I've had my other car done at Pentland, like you say, great job. Definitely next on my list. Once I've done that we should get them out for a few pics. I'll be very interested to see what...

Thanks mate! Yeah I've been grinning like a Cheshire Cat with it today. Just put it on at midday. What a difference to the interior!

I'll give you that! If I didn't have a Cup I would have it lower on 2118s

I was reluctant too but a few small things goes a long long way. Don't know why I put it off so long honestly. Here's a list of what was done plus part numbers if it's any use to some of you.

I agree with you there. No doubt the standard setup well maintained is still very capable on the road. I thought about blowing the budget on B14s but didn't want to neglect the other components to do it.

Following Ben Lowden's Clio Trophy and 172 Cup articles on Pistonheads I couldn't resist this car which appeared on Cliosport locally around the time. I had a bit of a dash to get there before 2 or 3 other viewers but made it and bagged a bargain for my runabout. The previous owner had it for 7...

Very nice indeed! How cool to have two Cups that are the polar opposite of each other. Will be interested to see the updates.

And it's on. What a difference having a wheel that doesn't disintegrate in your hands!

Likewise!

Once before but not in a Clio. Been out a bit as passenger but was never too keen when it was my own car out there! Going to change that now. I'll come in April to spectate if I'm free.

😂

Sounds good. My brother had the RS Sabelt on his R26, it was nice. Prior to last week the steering had a bit of play and had lost it's sharpness. It was starting to understeer a bit and was bouncy at the rear (all when pushed). It's fantastic now. Steering is super direct and responsive. No...

That's why I went with Royal. I really don't like the thumb grips so wanted the smooth and more modern look. Was tempted to get blue stitching but decided there's enough blue in a 172 Cup already!

I'm sitting here a rather happy chappy and thought I would share my latest delivery with you guys..... Cheers Jack at Royal Steering Wheels. Over the moon with it. Having had the suspension and steering refreshed last week it would have been rude not to.

Looks great! Is that a trophy spoiler?
