After 5 Days without the Cup i finally got it back yesterday with the body work sorted (quality job!!), I was driving a new shape fiesta 1.6 in the meantime, and I forgot just how quick the 172 is. Has anybody else been without theirs for a few days, driven something else then been amazed when...
Dropped my car off Saturday for them to start repair after my insidant of reversing into a skip!!! After driving my old dears new shape fiesta just cant wait to get it back for the power and looking new again!!!:)
Frosty, just the man!! Just want to say quality car mate, you lucky B*****d!! my favorite! Id be more than willing for you to take me for a spin!! Any more pics of your car?
The Cliosport website could somehow get the 172 Cup on Topgear and get the stig to take it round the track and see what time it gets!! Maybe one of the moderators could send a letter in and see what sort of response we get? Just an idea

Some bloke got all funny the other week when I mentioned cars to this bird. He said bet you wouldnt beat me mate i said what have you got then He said TVR Chimera I said bet I would mate he said what you got then I said Noble GTO he said fair enough
For a change I couldnt compete so might as...
When a girl asks what car you drive and you say a Clio 172, they never seem to have a clue what it is. I dont even bother mentioning the cup bit as that would confuse them even more!!
All I would say is be careful not to lift of when going round corners!! I know its common sense but its a drivers car and no traction to help you out! Get it you wont regret it!
Hi ST-EVO,
What other cars did you test drive? Ive got a Cup and in my opinion you cant go far wrong!! I went from the new Mini Cooper (not a performance car I know) which was fully loaded with extras and drove like a dream, and didnt think the cup would match it i.e nice to drive, but it...
lol!!! They havent hit skips, but theyve done stupid things too. Got the glass done last night, so im driving round with a big crease down the back today
Just got a quote for my boot and bumper! Weve put a lots of business the companies way and theyve always done a fantastic job. Couldnt believe my ears when they said £200 all in for cash!!! What a result! and £50 excess through my insurance for my window. All booked in for the 10th May :)
I love the car to bits and thats the major problem. But now its happened it puts everything in to perspective. My insurance is £1250 fully comp with 3 years no claims, so if its stupid money outside the insurance then ill have to put in through, meaning Id have to sell it as the insurance would...
I was reversing my car off the drive last night, and turned to go up the road which I dont normally do, and didnt see a skip behind me (for what reason I dont know!!) and managed to put the edge of it through my back window, put a big crease in the boot, and scratch the bumper!! Im going to find...
a K&N Induction Kit fitted to either a Standard 172 or Cup? Just wondered if theyre worth having really, more for the sound rather than performance.
Cheers :cool:
