You must have strong self restraint knowing it's sitting there on the B14s and ready to go!

Not a super duper update but an update all the same. Previous owner Rob kept the carpet and boot liners and very nicely dug them out for me. Top man! Spent a couple of hours refitting. Feels much nicer inside now. The little things!

Like a good debate. Nobody going to come on and say a Clio wipes the floor with it?

Can't beat a bit of Harry Metcalfe. He loves the Clios like Henry Catchpole loves the Meganes (yet owns a 182).

Ok. I don't have experience of a 182 Trophy but have had my 172 Cup for 3 years and previously done a lot of miles in my brother's R26. They are two very different cars, both had their own market (hence why Renault made them) but each are now definitely an enthusiasts car and like you say can...

More Cups north of the border. Happy days. Looks lovely.

Nope. Stick with your original (and best) plan and get a 200

That's what I would be after. Pics?

Thanks mate, iPhones are getting good eh :ROFLMAO:

No mate. Had it 3 years but in the process of cleaning it up a bit and making the most of it!

Thanks mate, pics are a bit flattering trust me! That would have been good but I'm working Sunday unfortunately

Welcome back! Wow, what a selection of vehicles. Now complete with a 182 Trophy of course.

Lovely car. Comgrats

Nice evening. Missed the sunset but thought I would scope out some photo locations....

Don't make a knee jerk decision. Give it a couple of months and see how you get on. I do 50 miles a day in my 172 Cup and it really doesn't bother me. If you take it easy you can get well over 40mpg. You are not going to save much going to your average diesel, like for like purchase and running...

Lovely little car this.

Great buy! As others have said, that car needs nothing!

Great runaround that!!! Well played

Fairly busy month for the car. Had a slight issue with the new f/n/s ball joint which was knocking and was replaced FOC without question by Rentec and done as a matter of urgency. Top blokes. I also learnt an embarrassing lesson by suffering a misfire for a couple of days following rinsing the...

What a cracking car for £3k. Well played

Great stuff! Looks a nice height to me, definitely not too high. Like you say, function is the main thing anyway.

Yes. Mid range is important and certainly makes life easier. I've got the RS Tuner 98 map on my Cup and I think that improves things. More useable torque / power around 3500rpm than before. Fortunately as has been said before, something like an R26 makes for easy progress particularly when...

I get all that arguments that a lot of the time a turbo diesel or similar will be quicker. That's fine but that's not the point of these cars or Renaultsport Clios in general. If straight line speed is your thing then there are other options. I'm in my 30s now and driven a lot of very quick...

Oh my. What a decision to make there. Focused, rare and honed to perfection. The hot hatch GT3 RS. Since I won't have the funds for anything with a 911 badge I think one of these may have to be my next car.

Used to love Alien but having seen a black 200, black speedlines and cup spoiler last week I'm now converted.

And straight line performance surely. I would love a 200 for the handling, looks and upgrading to a more modern and liveable daily.

My car has had a refurbed box (prior to me buying) and on the test drive I crunched it every time from 3rd into 4th. At the money I paid I it was still worth it though. I changed the gearbox oil and then realised that if I took a bit more time and care with that change then it wouldn't do it. 3...

Better to spend some money on it now to get it right and get maximum enjoyment for your period of ownership. Never understood why people run a car with faults only to fix and make A1 to sell on to someone else.

Saw a rather stunning black 200 today at Stockbridge. Cup spoiler, black speedlines. Fancy private plate and lack of at the front.

Yeah. I now agree, never done it before and never will again! Thanks for that, will have a look and see if that can speed the process up. Checking for bowls just now. Does it matter what kind of rice? Pilau?
