Stunner!!

Nice work. Nothing worse than the smell of gearbox oil all over your garage floor, been there myself and has put me off ever changing the stuff again! Was it not worth doing the belts whilst the engine was out?

agreed!

Had 36 votes so far, giving a rough average of 91k. Obviously I can't work out an exact figure, but between everyone who's voted on this thread, I can say we've clocked over 3 million miles together in our Cups 😌

I've got the exact same issue, except mines on 94k and a daily currently :weary:

That's ace.

Believe it when I see it :wink:

Thanks for the votes guys, keep em up. More the better! Judging from the results so far, the average cup mileage is approx. 78k miles. A bit less than mine :pensive: Would be super interested to find the two people who own Cups on less than 20k? They're hugely swaying the results. Must be...

Nice updates mate, Inferno looks so good when clean. If it makes you feel any better, I went through EXACTLY the same pain as you when I decided to spray the headlining on my old 106 GTi. It was only a track car project however, so wasn't that fussed on the finish, think I ordered an extra 4 or...

Just happened to stumble across this, nice write up! Nothing worse than finding some epic roads and stuck behind traffic. Did you get a fine in the end?

If you have a 172 Cup, what Mileage are you on? Cast your vote above! With Cup prices being tipped to increase over the next few years, it'd be interesting to get an average mileage for the car, now some are reaching 16 years old!

Poor Trophy out in the snow, Needs a warm garage! :openmouth:

Great that progress is coming along, but that's a shame about the Sachs :pensive:What's your plan with them then? They surely still look salvageable?

That looks fantastic mate! Great track photos also.

That does look approximately 10,000 times better actually, still prefer the Turinis though. Maybe I'm a bit biased aha

Fair point. Even still, arch gap isn't too much of an issue when it's sitting on the standard alloys, as you can just claim you're going for the OEM look!

I would just keep it on Turinis unless you plan on lowering it further. The arch gap really shows on those aftermarket wheels?

Awesome work! So clean, and like Jonnio said, I'm off to clean up my garage haha. Have you thought about putting some foam strips down the brick pillars that stick out? As a precaution for the unlikely event a door were to swing open into them?

I'd say 106 GTi all day long, you can still get sound examples for around 2000-2500. But if you're using it for commuting (even if it's just 9 miles a day) I'd go for a Clio 172/182. It'll be hard to find a reliable/looked after 197 for that price I'd have thought.

I'd definitely take the 208, Fiesta STs are common as muck, never look at them twice when they drive past these days. (That saying, there's a reason there's so many - they're awesome cars - just not for me.) 208 GTi looks great btw, not seen one in white before!

The Japspeed TRE kit looks awesome, great idea! Want some myself now :wink:

Agreed, you'd be throwing money away! For £900 you could change a endless amount of parts and completely transform the car.

Immaculate mate. Noticed the same with my Cup a few days back, a good polishing really transforms the look of these cars! Have you fitted the induction kit yet ? The noise is properly addictive

Some ace photos there mate, love them! Especially the 'ring mockup! News on the RS rear wing? I know you said it was on the cards, would certainly finish off the look alongside the splitter and side skirts.

Few hours polishing, worth the result! Not bad for a daily on 93,000 miles 😌

RB is such an awesome colour, slightly jealous haha. Nice work on the wheels dude, mine need the same treatment!

The Sparco wheel along with the shifter looks great! Would love one of these as the throw is so long on the standard stick, really does my head in sometimes. Send this thread over to PMS, so they know to include a rubber band in their fitting kits from now on haha.

For the wheels, maybe even try to match it as near as possible to the yellow/gold you can see out of the paintwork?

Agreed, gotta be the M4. Especially in that colour.

So clean! Makes me want to go straight outside and wash mine right now haha What camera do you use? Also, can you remember what paint you used for the inlet mani and fuel rail guard?
