No prob. I'm in Belper mate. Think that's the first time I've heard anything remotely positive about Derby haha.

Awesome work mate, coming along nicely. Would absolutely love a heated garage, must make a world of difference. Would be good to see this once it's on the road, I'm in Derby area also.

I paid a similar price for mine and yours seems much better spec'd, kicking myself! Super clean car mate, keep this thread updated!

All the negative comments are kinda making me want to do it... :wink:

That's fair, Personally I'm a huge fan of the RS wings, think 197/200s look bare without them!

Look spot on imo mate :up: Just needs an RS wing now?

The inlet mani looks fantastic, what paint did you use if you don't mind me asking? Has it darkened on the top because of the heat over time or was that your doing?

Another posing photo to keep the thread updated :relieved:

Gave it a go, but looks horrible. So gave up before wasting another hour of my life messing around with reflections.

I do like the idea, but couldn't justify the work required and the cost. But yeah, I'd never get the vinyl, so tacky.

Can't see it being possible for any sort of realistic price imo. Just thought it looked pretty mean.

Was messing around on Pixlr Editor and came up with this, what you guys think? Of the idea... Not of the photoshop skills :smirk::smirk:

Jesus 100 miles a day? What's the mileage on that cup now?

£5K :frowning: That's actually daylight robbery. Get the job done properly chap, I can see the car means a lot to you, but don't let anyone take advantage of you.

Nice work mate, makes quite a big difference actually, more than I'd have thought. Mine desperately need doing, didn't think it would affect MOT though... which is coming up in December for me

That's great, thanks for clearing it up. However I have read that a few cups did come with a/c, only a handful though. Hence the confusion.

Sorry for asking.. still a newbie with Clios. Air con? I haven't got a button for air con on my dash... someone will know? I want to clean the crank sensor but struggling to reach it

Took a few photos yesterday evening :cool: What a great little motor. Not bad for an iPhone I don't think... Shame I don't own a proper DSLR, otherwise I'd be entering the 2018 Calendar comp!

If you struggle getting in and out of cars.. go and purchase a large and spacious one... Not really, just my opinion. I think the only hatchback that can get away with it is the A45 AMG. Otherwise they ruin the sporty look entirely. Anyway, I'm done now. Don't want this to drag on any futher...

Yes, of course you can judge a car's design by how many doors it has lmao... what are you on about? Go and buy a Land Rover then? I honestly don't like any of those cars. Including the last one.. I'll keep my mk2 Cup thanks (yes I know it's f**king slower don't bother going down that route)...

Seems I upset a few people with my 5 door comment.... oh dear. 5 doors just completely and utterly ruin the look of any hatchback. For example, the MK3 Focus RS just looks like a souped-up school run car, designed for mum's to nip down to Morrisons in to do the weekly shop. The MK2 RS on the...

Sorry, but if it has 5 doors - it's not a hot hatch. End of story. That includes the Focus RS, MK4 Clio's & the brand new Megane RS.

Are you sure you've bought a Clio 172 Cup? One of these things? Because what you're saying isn't making a whole lot of sense. The driving position is spot on in my opinion, and on standard suspension it's pretty forgiving? Yes it's no Rolls Royce, but be honest with yourself, what were...

175kg weight saving- crazy! Nice work!

It is a strange one! Can't explain it as of yet. I'll let you know if I get anywhere Thanks for your help. Yep linkages are gonna be first port of call. Can't see an oil change doing much, but I've got no idea when it was last done. So may as well get it done now, may solve it, who knows. Did...

Hi guys, Just recently, I've found my 172 Cup is struggling to engage reverse gear. The collar on the stick pulls up and springs back freely, exactly how it should feel going into reverse gear. But when lifting off the clutch I sometimes find myself going forwards rather than backwards! Takes a...

What a stunning motor! Glad the repairs came out well. Can't wait to see the turbo conversion begin.

Come and do mine for me 😌😌 Shame you're so far away.

Ah I'm with you now, cheers.

That's s**t hot. You do that yourself? Would love something like that.
