Spotted a Racing Blue 182 today (no stripes) on an 05 plate heading into Westbury from Warminster around midday, and then again out towards Chippenham about an hour later. I was on a two hour lunch break trying to find some quiet roads for my Cup!

Absolute genius. Collected it on Saturday 14th so Im 9 days in now. Havent actually gone anywhere different to an average week (which is around 250 miles) but Ive covered over 700! Thats all due to just taking much longer, faster and more entertaining routes to wherever Im going (for example the...

Any suggestions for decent Cup mats without shelling out at Renault? I currently have Williams ones with metal heel plates but with my size 13 feet Im not getting any grip as my heel slips off the back of the metal (hard to explain but very annoying!) Im hoping their is some website that makes...

Spotted a Silver 182 (not cupped) yesterday in Chippenham, Wilts with what appeared to be a Mickey Mouse head on the end of the aerial, and a Bath Rugby sticker in the bag window. Im assuming its not somebody here?!

Spotted a 172 Cup in the distance today, carbon bonnet and reasonably big exhaust. On the A350 in Melksham about 7:15 this morning. Anyone here?

Spotted my first 225 Trophy today, wow! Press shots really do not do this car justice, the paint with those absolutely gorgeous wheels looks absolutely stunning. Was never sure about the colour before as I really like the 225 in Inferno, but the new paint has a subtle yet stylish thing going for...

Picked up my 172 Cup today, so so pleased with it. Absolutely perfect all around, only fault is a missing front splitter (seems to be common), will get one when I have some cash, completely broke now! Apart from being stupidly good fun and me smiling ear to ear all the way home (in the wet too...

Just a quickie for anyone who knows... Whats the general timescale between requesting to return a car (paid just under half so entitled to return it if I pay the remaining balance) and actually returning it? I think I read you need to send a letter or something so I assume its not quick. I...

Had an interesting day today, 45 miles in my 03 1.2 Dynamique (which I always felt was quite nippy) down to look at a 172. Dealer gave me the keys and me and my other half went for 15 mile test drive, terrifying yet utterly superb! Put me foot down a bit lighter than I normally do and the...

Im potentially going to be spending nearly £9k on a 172 soon privately. Ive never bought privately before so I have some real obvious questions that I probably should really know the answers to...but dont! Any help would be appreciated. 1. If Im travelling a long way how does these things...

Spent just shy of £100 on Meguiars stuff last week, really for the new 172 when I find one but I thought I would test it out on my Dynamique. Only ever used bog standard Halfords things before and over two years it had picked up swirls, very small scratches and various other imperfections...

I followed Kenty172s Cup for a few weeks whilst I figured out finances, get myself sorted and then after seemingly months on sell it bloody goes days before Im ready to give him a call, only a few miles down the road too. So then a stunning 2002 Iceberg 172 crops up in Shaftesbury, 13k...

Ive found what appears to be a mint 2002 172 which Im going to look at on Saturday. 5 years of Clios (never owned anything else) and finally in a position to get one I really want. Anyways, its done 13k in pretty much exactly 3 years. Am I right in thinking it needs servicing at 12k or two...

It was the Castle Combe Spring Action Day yesterday and easily the wettest on memory, rained solidly for the first 5 hours, making for a wonderfully wet track. Any ClioSport members there? Quite a few Clios about, a Williams went out on the track a couple times (darn fast, never seen one...

Would love to see plenty of blue 172 Cups please, especially with any interesting subtle modifications (really like white turinis, this is a potential idea for me so that would be good). Im a step closer to getting one today and Im excited as hell, especially considering Ive driven various...

Im currently having a hard time deciding what Clio to get. Realistically I want to spend a maximum of £10k. In most parts of the country this would appear to get me a 182 with both cup packs (Im after Racing Blue with Competition Stripes) and up to around 15k miles, especially if discussions...

Has anyone had any experience of handing their car back once theyve paid for half of it? Im just under the half payment threshold so in a month or two I will have paid the minimum amount to hand it back. No probs there but problem is Ive done 20,000 miles and thats exactly 3 months before Ive...

Renaultsports are pretty rare around these parts it seems. I spotted a Racing Blue 182 with stripes in Bournemouth last summer, that was the first and last 182 Ive spotted on the road in over 8 months until this weekend when all sorts appeared, 172s arent even that common but a few have appeared...

Ive had my Dynamique 2 years now and have hugely enjoyed it, compared to my first car (1996 Clio RN) its a fair bit quicker and much better round corners, anyway, I was wondering how people were getting on with the handling? Ive heard a few adverse comments recently about the handling and to...

Further to my recent question about the Renault site saying that new Dynamiques/Extremes having Cup Spoiler and god knows what else, the "most expensive Renault dealership in the world" (my local) insists this is the new Extreme and wont budge...

When I come close to my 3yr final payment on my Clio (not far off), can I go to a completely different Renault dealer and sort out whatever I decide to do (probably part-ex, but may pay the final payment)? Its a franchise here and although I know the finance is actually with RFS I wanted to...

Been looking into getting a 182 recently and thought I better check all my other options first. Although the 182 is incredibly well priced I noticed looking into other cars that Renault is missing a a mid-range "warm hatch" if you will. It jumps from the Dynamique 1.6 (110bhp, £10.4k) to the 182...

Bit confused with this, all new non RenaultSport Clios now have the Cup Front Spoiler apparently, to add to that the Dynamique has body coloured bumpers, mirrors and a "Sports Rear Spoiler", whilst the Extreme seems to get many of the sports bits too. Does anyone have or have seen one of these...

I ordered a new wheel for my 03 1.2 16V Dynamique at my local Renault Franchise on Saturday, they took my reg and that brought all my details up, they didnt need to see the car as they knew which wheel was required apparently. Anyways, the link below shows two pictures, the one on my left is a...

Absolutely gutted, today I was doing my usual 5 mile journey I make every day, and for the third time someone hits my Clio,on that same 5 mile journey... only this time they didnt even stop (thats 3 crashes in 5 years btw, this is the first in my new Clio though the last two paid up without much...

Im currently driving a 2003 1.2 16V Dynamique in lovely Pearl Black and I will soon be replacing it. Very keen on a 172 or 182 but not sure what to be aim for, whatever I go for it has to be Black, and more importantly Im very keen on owning a sleeper, something that looks bog-standard but...
