My titanium silver phs1 is at present sitting on 182 Cup alloys. All in very good condition and wrapped in Exalto rubber.
Sometimes I think they look spot-on, others I think I need to replace them with some original F1's in STD silver or anthracite...
Literally picked this up about 1/2 hour ago...

Milage not really an issue as full and I mean full history, and also I only do about 4k a year. Bought as a bit of a toy;)
Considering milage both bodywork and interior are mint..
Ad and figures...
Looks very tidy this considering milage. Quoted figures are obviouslyPie in the Sky, but I know from experience that the rr used reads 20bhp and 20lb/ft when nothings on it!

Am now looking for a phase 1, and am in a position to buy. Have set myself a maximum budget of £2000. Really can't justify having any more in car, as basically is gonna be taxi for me to work, maybe 3x a week(14 mile round trip), and hoping to do a few novice track days. Use wifes golf for days...
May go and view this tomorrow hopefully or Thursday.

Just wondering what people in the know think....
Would be looking for...
I am looking for a phs 1 172. Wifes Corsa Sri is going on Friday, as we were gonna get something sensible ie 5dr to make things easier with little lad, as she usually does running around to nursery etc. Massive change of heart though, and has now decided she wants a phs 2 172!!!!
Thought...
Seem to read story after story of poorly 172's. I know French cars are far from been regarded as bulletproof.I realise some of this is due to how many owners are on here, and also that people are asking for advice when they have issues, but still....
So if you had to rate your cars...
Just got new laptop with windows 7.
Tried installing printer software from disk but won't let me as it says system requirements are not met:dapprove:
You'll have to forgive me as I know next to nothing about computers and technology. Am I gonna have to buy a printer which is compatible with...
Am gonna be on the lookout for a phs 1 172 as of next week. Have set myself a budget of 2k ish, with a little bit of flexibility....
Given the choice of a mk1 with say 85k on with fsh and a 172cup with 120k,fsh and recent belts, where would your 2k go?
Ps only do about 5k a year if that...
172 Cup seen on Ossett by-pass this morning about 7.30am. Looked very clean. Sneaking in lane at last minute though, tut-tut!!! Think I've seen same car parked up on Bywell Road a couple of times as well...
Bit of a strange thread title I know, but am looking to change both cars over the next month or so.
Wife has a 1.4 SRI corsa at the min. 2001 '51' plate, gonna be changing this for a phase 2 172.
I have a Golf 1.8T at the min. Looking at changing this for either a phase 1 172, or a 172 cup...
Going to view a phase 1 172 over the next couple of days. Says in advert 84k with FSH, whether this includes a receipt for belts we'll see...
Wondering if it's belonged to anyone on here at any point??
Cheers, Kev.......;)
Am looking at a Clio 172 cup on Saturday at a local garage near me, White Cottage car sales. Just wondering if owner was or is on here? Am looking at replacing my MK4 Golf 1.8T.:approve:
Have been offered a cat-d 172 cup, '03' 30,000 with FSH for £3500. Am tempted but don't really know much about what to check with cars on the register:S .Car is already repaired, and been mot'd around 3 months ago. Am going to get a full vehicle inspection done via RAC or someone similar to...
Was suprised after driving a couple of Clio 172 Cups, how much quicker and more responsive they feel over the FF version.
What mods would be required to put the two on a par? I know that its all about weight in the Cup, but would a simple exhaust, panel filter and upgraded ecu [RS tuning] put...
Apologies for thread title, couldn't resist!!!;)
Basically am looking for either a 172 Cup or a FF. Wondering what peoples opinions are on buying a Cat-d motor?
Have been looking around and there's a fair few, am going to view a Cup tomorrow. If buying one on register would be mega fussy...
Just been quoted this on Moneysupermarket through ESURE. This is for f/comp on '53' plate 172 Cup. I'm 29, had licence for 9 years and have 7 years no claims [minor 3rd party bump 2 years ago, not at fault]. No convictions, medium risk postcode. What sort of figures are you guys and gals paying?;)
Have seen this for sale on Autotrader and noticed 'Cliosport' sticker. Am in Wakefield and car is in Skipton so not too far away. 172 Cup with 41k on. If you are on here please PM me as I would like a bit more info.
Unable to ring at moment due to work commitments:mad:
Am test driving a '53 plate Cup tomorrow:) . Have previously had a 172ff, but have never driven a Cup to date. Was wondering if fuel computer was something removed from Cup?
Cheers, Aboo......
Have seen a Clio cup for sale on autotrader, and am looking to get one. Spotted this one with a ClioSport.net sticker in the rear. Wondering if anyone knows anything about the car or its previous owner? [2nd in link]...
Am soon going to be purchasing either a 172 ff [for the 2nd time]or Cup, just can't decide if it is worth sacrificing all toys and comfort of ff in favour of Cup model.
If it makes a difference, mods I will be carrying out will be same on either, Maxogen, K-Tec stealth exhaust and RS tuning...
Am soon going to be returning to ownership of Clio 172 ff or Cup, am yet undecided as to which 1?
Owned a Flame red 172, which I px'ed due to changing jobs for a dirty derv. Just wondering if anyone on here now has ownership of this motor?
Cheers Kev....;)
Have any Cup owners out there got the induction kit fitted which is shown on the Hill Power website? If so,are you happy with it? A mate is looking at purchasing........
