Err thats not what Ive read the Works kit has been put on hold while BMW develop a new engine. The current unit cant reliably take the power.
Face it a 172 (not cup) will waste a cooper s
I took my car in last week to have 4 things looked at
1. Exhast Rattle
2. Erratic Idle
3. Rattle on dash (knew where from and told them so)
4. Petrol light coming on when not empty
Result
1. Say nothing wrong!
2. Intiall told that this was because the 172 runs very lean to reduce...
The reason the Clio Cup doesnt have headlight washers is that it doesnt have Xenon headlights.
By law all cars with factory fitted Xenons must have headlight washers!!! How stupid it that!!

I also agree with BenR that bigger wheels will make that car handle no better.
But it will handle no worse providing you dont get stupid and go for 19"s An inch increase should be fine.
Yes but your assuming that the MK2 is set up for 15". I would imagine (though I dont know for definate) that the setup for MK2 was modified to accomodate the bigger wheel (suspesion, speedo, geering etc.) so therefore going from 16" to 17" in a MK2 would be the same as going form 15" to 16" in a...
