Good Job mate,always cool to see another Cup being looked after.

s**t to see this mate,im always paranoid parking leaving my car for the fear of coming back to a prang like this. Fingers crossed mate it can be repaired.

Whats the new grille like colour wise?,as ive read its more of a grey?

I would say it maybe me as ive been on the M25 a few times lately,but ive been over the other side of the M25.

This is kind of what im thinking at the moment but,5k plus whatever i sell the cup for. But im looking at R26,Mk5 Golf Gti something like that. Looking for more of a GT type of car,used as a daily and trips away.

Thanks but,a couple are by @Dr Jekyll

Always nice to see another Cup owner,any plans for this one?

Do it mate after we have both moved!?? Not sure what colour to get tho

Thanks mate,not mint but clean & well looked after. I'll see when i move with my financial position on the R26,would be nice to keep the Cup also.But might need to sell to fund the R26,but will keep you in mind. @mart.z.s

So this weekend i met up with @Dr Jekyll for Tinker day at Marks work. I wanted to fit a new lower splitter while Mark did some prep work on his RB. Also Will was there to who was also doing some bodywork on his R26,after seeing and looking over Will's R26 the urge to get one is even more now!.

I guess so mate,give it a bit more protection as they are on the front.

Great photos mate and theres something cool about a Hot hatch or sports car covered in flys bugs!,shows its been driven! Im with you about driving,love a drive and road trip.Hence reason why i go away camping alot around the country. I think me and the Girlfriend are planing on driving to...

Impressive list mate,will be nice and fresh after having all that done.What Garage,ED?

I will prob just do it again and take my time as we have the weather on our side at the mo. Be time consuming doing the lower grille tho.

Yeah i may re do mine but with proper plastic paint to.

No mate it doesnt go off at home,That ignition trick turns off the sensors but,not sure if thats just the cabin ones or inc the bonnet sensor to.Hopefully its just the bonnet sensor that needs replacing. ok thanks,i need to give my seats and cards a clean,i was thinking of using the AG...

I think so mate until you get it sorted properly i guess to find the actual fault.I only do it at work as the trucks going past seem to set it off,i may disconnect the bonnet sensor and if its just that. Also what did you use to clean the cloth on the door cards?

How does everyone with a 172 or 182 keep the front Grilles looking fresh without having to Paint or replace them?,as upper one you can get your finger in but lower one is much harder.

You should at least take it out mate while weather is good with no rain,just make sure the coolant has been done and fan kicks in?

When you park the car,put the ignition on twice but dont start it,step out quickly then do the key fob,then it should beep a few times.

Have you done the ignition trick mate to see if the alarm still goes off?

Yeah 2118's are a great wheel,i would like to get a set at some point in the future. yes mate with the alarm,i have to do the ignition key thing each time i park at work to turn the sensors off,i might just get a new bonnet sensor soon.I did fit one about 4 years ago tho,so guess dont last long.

Great write up mate,close with the damper bolt not coming out!,Look forward to reading more on your thread as im a Cup owner to. Have you any plans or just to keep pretty much standard & replace bits and keep tidy?

Is he Local mate?,ie Essex herts etc

Yeah mate no worries,we go away on the 19th of Aug for 2 weeks,so anytime apart from then.

b*****d!,haha What cams?,do they much difference on how it idles and runs

Not sure on the the years but must be 10 years ago or more i had.. Mk2 Xr2 in met blue 205 Gti 1.9 in white Mk1 Golf Gti 1.8 campaign I miss the the Pug and Golf the most out of all the cars i have owned. And some better and more photos of them. Still think 205 has the best shape,back end...

Looks sweet mate,nice to see another Cup not made into a track spec car.

Good Job mate,pretty much the same as what ive been doing to mine,i painted the calipers and did a brake fluid flush.Along with oil and filter change,also a rebuild on the rear calipers.Need to sort that little road trip soon mate while were getting this great weather!?

Nice work mate ?
