Passed you on the road from Countess Wear to Marsh Barton/Exminster this morning @ approx 6:45am.
Think you saw me but i had the sun in my eyes so was too busy making sure i didn't hit the curb rather than wave! :cool:
Your plate had something like "PJO" at the end?
Silver non sport on Topsham road about 4:40pm we saw each other, and a blue (poss cup?) with black alloys cruising down north Devon link road towards J27 of the M5 just now.
Gave me a flash (of the headlights) as you were going into the centre...
Just interested in putting a name to the car as its the first time I've had an acknowledgment from another CS owner!
Driving past the Porsche garage at about 1pm today... The Flamer was first and the Gordini right behind it at the traffic lights.
Both looked real nice!
Is there actually a difference between the 172 & 182 standard interiors? I'm thinking of replacing my cup interior and wondering if I need to have the 172 or will a 182 interior still fit/match? Are they different styles or colours?
Sunny day, thought it would be nice to treat my 172 Cup to a bath!
Came out quite nice imo... Going to get fancy plates, skoda splitter, and wheel refurb next I think.
Comments and criticism welcome.
Cheers
My girlfriend (being a bit of a t**t that she is), felt the need to name my Mondial Cup... She calls it "Claude en Bleu", a little play on words with the fact that it's a French car which is Blue!
She has a Porsche Boxster S which she calls "Pete Prakatan", this has absolutely no reason to it...
As above? The metal bit that bolts onto the front of the engine... Had an injector replaced and the guy at the garage I took it to said it wasn't important so I chose not to bolt it back on, it is important as no matter how many times I tighten the bolts, they always seem to come loose...
Hey, am going to give my headlights a refurb due to discolouring and haziness which is common as we all know... Picked this up from my local motor parts company in Exeter, anyone given this a go instead of using the usual wet and dry method as well documented on here?
Hey, I'm thinking of upgrading the ph2 cup interior to the non-cup seats with suede-leather...
Is the door card etc the same colour scheme as the suede seats? Or will it look stupid if I change the seats only?
hey guys, i did a search for answers but couldnt find one...
the standard exhaust on my 172 cup has suddenly started rumbling when decelerating from 3000rpm to 2000rpm... its not blowing as the backbox is only 10mths old, and the bracket holding it on was fitted at the same time, it was dark...
Hey guys... my iPhone 4 is on its last day left of its initial 12 months warranty, so just wondering where would be the cheapest place to get the extra years warranty & service?
I know it is £61 through Apple directly, but wondering if there was any cheaper legit way of getting it?
I am only...
Hi guys, selling my 172 Cup.
This is the climate control version, 1 of 106 made. Runs like a dream, absolutely love this car, but need to free up some cash... possibly consider P/X for 172 plus cash my way... PM me with details.

Hey, was driving to work this morning and my windscreen washers won't work. I know there's water in there as I checked the bottle, and it sounds as if the motor is whirring and whining like usual, but no squirty-squirty!! Is this a common issue? Can anyone help?
WD04 HHK - RB 182 on Polsloe Road, Exeter @5pm yesterday.
LD54 TCK - RB 182 on Mount Pleasant Road, Exeter @6am this morning.
And a black 1*2 on Tiverton-Exeter road yesterday at about 5:20...
All 3 of them looked well "Reem". lol
Parked outside the Vue cinema, looking lovely in the evening sun... i dont see many down my way and i am in love with it... such a lush colour. had a CS sticker in rear window too...
both parked on the side road of Magdalen Road... one Mondial Blue Cup, and one silver Clio - either it was a 172 with a twin exit exhaust, or it was a 182 with 172 alloys... not sure... lol
Hey, just fitted a new headunit and now my clock doesnt work. any ideas why?
have done a search but not come up with any solutions...
its a sony xplod unit.
3 Hours cleaning, polishing, and hoovering and now (despite the kerbed Turini's which i didn't do) my 172 Cup is mint... couldn't resist taking some snaps! Might pop her up for sale soon (i want a 182) so if anyone is interested let me know.
hey, now i am approaching my first full summer with my 172 Cup, i have noticed that my air-con isnt actually that cold... anyone else think it may be a problem or is it a usual thing for a 172 cup to have mediocre cooling inside the car?!
hey, my paper-thin wooden boot floor is starting to sag a little bit in my boot cos of no wheel underneath to support the weight... any suggestions for a decent replacement/fix? needs to be strong enough to hold 12 inch sub box (and a pair of roller blades which i ever go anywhere without... lol)
hey, i finally have taken delivery of the standard Renault cup back box which i ordered on 26th november last year... i know, its taken a while) i have never done any car maintenance in my life apart from changing wheels etc. was just wondering if there is anything i need to know... the exhaust...
