Am i right in thinking these are the speakers? http://car.rainbow-audio.de/products/details.php?lan=2&pro=1&lin=8&art=231146 They are coaxials not components, the standard front speakers will sound better? Put em in the back and they will sound better than the standard rear speakers...

TVR Tuscans and maybe some others use motorbike cans i think they use Carbon Can Co. ones?0, IMO there designed for a bike not a car so why?

172 Cup badge 7711291177 £2.04 (the little B pillar ones) erm now £8.00 plus VAT each making it £9.40... At least i got myself two now! And yes Renault still have them the myth of them not being available is not true!

Ive only locked the brakes once and i was trying too, the balance on them is awesome compared to my old vtr, that locked up so easy they were crap brakes. Id say that was more dangerous than the cup. I agree with you mate people are talking like its the first car to not have abs?

just ordered some, will get em thursday so ill let you know then? The 172 bits are missin just CUP on my door pillars... I think it finishes the car off nicely?

Am i right in saying The kicks are more powerful,so will these be ok running off a decent head unit or will they need an amp,as my original post stated i dont really ant to fit an amp, been there done it and cant be arsed anymore lol. i know the sound is better but if the kicks will run off h/u...

my mate's got a focus RS and its much better spec'd than my CUP (apart from air con leather seats etc., brembo 4 pot clipers, ap racing clutch, WRC track etc etc... It is a special car, no need to thrash it either not much turbo lag i rate it! They are quick, loads of torque! But then...

Cheers for the advice mate, will be getting some soon after xmas. Any tips on removing the dash?

Is any running either the 230's or the delux off a head unit rather than an amp? I know its better to run off an amp but just wonderin how a head unit would cope. Im not bothered about volume just quality at low volumes? Any advice would be greatful.

If i drop my keys it dis-lodges the battery? and needs loadsa press's to make it work? So you could check that the battery is seated properly?

Want the whole set so think ill be giving them a miss and wait for some mk2's to come available. Thanks alot dude!

Does the interior i.e front/rear seats and door cards from mk1 172, fit into a mk2 172? ive got a 172 cup and want leather interior? All advice would be gratefully recieved? Rusty

Its rubbish the whole insurance game, i just moved to bit of a rough area in Derby, scared that my CUP would get trashed, nicked or burnt out so rang insurance company up to see about a second car, was goin to get a old 205 GTI, cheap and just make it nice, while leaving CUP at parents. Just use...

Warrenty?

My exhaust fell off my 172 cup last week, only 16,500 miles! Was not impressed, rang them up and told them, they said exhaust systems are not covered under warrenty. Obviously i came straight back with its a 2 yr old car and its not like the exhaust is blowing or corroded, a clip had just worked...

There's the RS 3 Concept at http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clioconcept/ Looks erm different to say the least? But ts really upto you if you decide to wait or not?

I heard the mk1,s are a bit unreliable? No experience myself, but i also do prefer the later cars?

abs aint all that IMO, you soon learn the limits of the brakes, and how hard to push them. You should remember what your driving instructor said, if they lock up release and re aply. Keeps you on the ball? Its never hot enough to need air con, just wind the window down ray bans on, look kool...

Ive got the cup badge on the back under clio, with the nurburgring going through the badges, looks sweet. Also a cup badge inside same as nique ^^^^ Left off the 172 though, just CUP.

Its all personal prefereance? Just choose yourself, which ever one you buy someone will always say, "why dint you go for the other one" Whats the point? There all nice, quick cars i went for the cup because its not as common and i like raw drivers cars?

Alright craig, try these: http://www.cosmetic-car-repairs.co.uk/index.htmlhttp://www.cosmetic-car-repairs.co.uk/index.html and directions...

do a search for Dentsco. There based off Ascot Drive Derby? Dont know there number off the top of my head but ill try and find out!

Ive only ever seen 1 other around derby? as well as mine of course? Loads of 172s and 182s? the weather weve had recently tho, i wish i had a full fat just for the air con... Still love it to bits tho!!!!!

Everyone to there own, they are cheaper to insure and come with more luxuries than the cup? Wouldnt trade my cup in for one though!!

Danny, you running them Rainbows off an amp or H/U. Look pretty good?

I know this has probably been asked, like a million times, but is there anyway of changing the tweeters in the dash without taking the dash out? Do they just clip out? Obviously want to change them for some decent components i.e. infinities etc... Any advice would be magic. Russco

Hey new to the site, I just got a 9855R alpine, the glide touch one. Had to order the interface cable and its 70quid. Bit miffed with that? I does send signal up to stock display though as well as being able to use the stalk controls? Ill let you know if its any good?
