Very small update, turns out the door moulds weren't just double sided taped on. They have metal rails in them which the clips attach to, these has completely rusted out rendering them useless!

Ordered some new ones which turned up today, fitted and they...
OBC has been a consideration, I'm not 100% what the features of it are though. Care to explain? I'd like cruise control eventually too.
Performance wise, the Clio feels quicker. I'm sure it's not though, it was obviously quite a lot more "raw" as such. Not overly fussed with speed, it is so...
Got a chance to machine polish the car today and took it for some half arsed photos.

Whole set here...
I did consider an M3 but they come with an M3 parts price tag. To be honest, I'm not overly fussed with how fast I'm going any more - the 2.8 is more than punchy enough as it is. I also came from a RWD car before the Clio and I have missed that ever since too.
Gally, my perhaps overly wishful...
I've yet to really look at the forums, I've had a scan on bimmerforums but not e36coupe.com.
Thanks gents.
And for the comments about the Cup - I really will miss it, was a great car and I'm sure I'll have another. Probably Ph-1 next time!
Haha thanks chaps. The car was on PH yes, its not minty fresh and has a few issues but I didn't pay what he was asking for it so all good. I was in the same boat, checking PH every day to see if any ones worth looking at appeared, saw this one with the ad 1 hour old, straight on the blower and...
So it seems to be a re-occurring theme on this forum but I have moved over to the BMW darkside. I had a Clio 172 Cup previously:

Absolutely loved the Clio but I've had a BMW itch for a while that just wouldn't quit. Hence I bought an 328i Sport e36 in...
Chaps,

Above is my Cup for sale. Just putting this out there really. Any opinions on the add will be appreciated too.
I'm in Kent and used James when he was Stone Automotive. Good bloke, good work, worth the travel.
If you don't want to go far there is Ren7oaks as stated or Twotechs in Dartford.
Didn't know Harry Brown was filmed there, cool. Giraffe - I see you're only in Essex, get yourself over there before it goes! People even still turn up to the Church on the estate (a flat roofed building that looks like a toilet block!) as its where they lived for most their lives. t
Ron you're...
I took my film camera out for the first time in ages in the last few days so I went to Elephant + Castle in London to the Heygate estate, it is a great place and a lot of the bill was filmed there back in the day. Some of it is being knocked down but there is still some solitary occupied flats...

ENTRY.
Taken in the Heygate Estate, Elephant and Castle, London.
100's of homes stood empty for years as not all of the people living there have left, a squatter's heaven until the new laws were past making it illegal in residential properties. I'll stop...
I've tried the search function but I couldn't find the answer I'm after. The strips on my 172 cup are starting to drive me mad, they look s**t half the time and I'm constantly trying to keep them topped with trim restorer.
My question is, were there any other 1*2's that came in Mondial blue? If...
