p.s. I'm guessing that renault dont still carry any of these bits new?

If I wanted to get all the interior trim to refit a stripped 172 cup, how tricky would it be to find the various pieces? i.e. are any of them unique to the cup model and therefore difficult to find. Things like are the carpets all the same in the cars? what colour seat belts, rear seats, all the...

if i could get shot of my current car i'd be all over that one.

grind it off using a polycarbide disc then paint it with a 2 pack epoxy paint. Will look sh1te but wont rust again.

]I have it in mind that its illegal not to stop after an accident. I wonder if the police would see this an "accident". cant see any downside in nipping down to your local police station and having a chat.

Hi. So, yet another 172 cup that I've spotted. This time Isle of Wight (where I was about 2 weeks ago...grrr). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223113114310?ul_noapp=true I asked about a dephaser change and chap isnt sure. So I have to assume not. Whats this about a snick going into 4th? Is that...

I'd always thought of 172 cups and pug 106 rallyes as being modern mini coopers (the real ones from the 60s) and might rocket up in price in the same way. Not so sure about that anymore as people get drawn to the more modern RS stuff and I'm not sure that the desire for "old cars" is what it...

Thanks Steve. I woudnt argue at all with your assessment as you are no doubt quite right, The one you're selling makes so much more sense in comparison. Sadly, my budget doesnt stretch.

Hi, this one is very close to me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202413616730?ViewItem=&item=202413616730 Sounds like it needs some tlc (which is fine for me as a project) but "rattle from top end of engine when warm" - i presume the classic dephaser pulley? States that belts were changed but...

okeedokee...the search continues! thanks chaps. bloomin rust.

I'm possibly going to look at a 172 cup that has rusty patches on the outside of the leading edge of the base of both rear arches. Any esperience on whether this is likely to be fro the inside out or from the outside in type rust? My suspicion from reading rusty arches threads on here, is that...

Sounds interesting. Any idea on price yet?

ok. Will sign up.I Good to hear that the extra stuff is worthwhile.. I look forward to entering a larger world...:)

Hi, I joined not o long ago and have now started a proper search for a 172 cup. I was just wondering if anyone knew any 172 cups for sale. All specs,etc considered but I'm not after anything that's caged. Does anyone know of anything around other than whats on here, e bay or gumtree, autotrader...

kingston sw london. Is it this one: https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/renault-clio-172-cup-2003-iceberg-silver/1307533491 looks like a nice car

hmmm..sold this morning! oh well.

I only seem to see ones for sale in the north of england which is miles from me. This one is much closer, but what's with the air con? Am I right in thinking it was a fairly expensive option on a 172 cup? Also, the rust...if its gone infront of teh rear arch is it likely gone elsewhere...

p.s. any thoughts on one to find one other than pistonheads, here, facebook, autotrader, gumtree,etc

Hi Bill You raise a good point, there could be a long list of crap on it to sort out. Plus it was odd as it was advertised as one lady owner but being sold by a bloke and appeared to be in some sort of industrial estate type place....but who knows! The mot list was weeping shocks, front ball...

haha, ad gone. Maybe someone on here spotted it!

Hi.thanks all. I guess you cant go wrong at that price. Looks like it could be nice again for a reasonable amount of work and still low-ish miles. cheers. Will

I was wondering if anyone knows this 172 cup? https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/renault-clio-sport-cup-172-mot-failure/1309464703

Seems nice. Just looking at the map..flight to glasgow, train to alloa, then a loooovely drive back to london! would be an ace trip.:)

dunno, havent contacted him as its a hell of a long way away from me! I hadnt noticed the plate, but youre right! he's blanked them all out apart from the one shot from the back! Why do people blank out plates in adverts? seems like a waste of time.

Does, doesnt it? There was one on here recently, low miles, think it was in Surrey, so very near me. Stupidly I didnt follow up on it.

Hi, I spotted this 172 cup for sale. Its exactly teh sort of thing that Id like to buy (but why cant i find one nearer london:) anyway, just wondering if it belongs to a member of this forum or if anyone was a past owner,etc? cheers. Will...

Not sure whats going on here, but the car I linked to above, is now on e bay and is now a lot closer to where I live...must go and have a look! Anyone here know it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-Renault-Clio-172-Cup/263455561412?hash=item3d572cd6c4:g:BxMAAOSwSKtaZ76T

Just a nice road car for me. I think I got my trackday stuff out of my system a few years ago to be honest. Ferrying kids about seems to mean I have no time to do that sort of thing nowadays anyway! I've lots of time for spannering,etc and to be honest, I find that I enjoy that nowadays as much...
