not my cup of tea but looks like a good job.

Good luck with everything mate. Pity I live so far away!

.................waits for the RS

pinanfarina aren't they?

Personally I don't really see the point in the 182 Cup. 15kg over a full fat cup chassis 182 isn't it? Only £800 cheaper and the full fat is avalaible in inferno and racing blue. whats the point of it? The 172 Cup is (or should be) a special edition even though they made a few too many (as...

I think they'll have to do an "insurance job" to get anything for that. I'll buy the matches.

I'm sure a valver is a hoot to drive like most little hot hatches from France but honestly drive a standard 1.6 GTi down a tight back road and you'll know what people are talking about! Even JONGSR4's Evo 2, 4 or Clio Cup didn't produce the seem grin factor! In a 205 you can have so much fun...

Yeah my local dealer had 2 in the showroom last week.

Don't like the Cup badges ;-)

Note to Jon - Please buy your 205 back off your dad as a weekend/fun/trackday car ;-)

The 205 is much much more direct than a 182 or any modern hot hatch. You as a driver feel directly connected to the steering in a 205 GTi. I think a 182 is more user friendly than a 205 but give a real good driver a 205 and you'll see what can be done. JONGSR4 had a 1.6 (also a 1.9) and down the...

The 172 raganotti (spelling??) doesn't have it.

Yeah they'll write it off. Make sure you get a decent price after the excess is paid.

4WD robs the S3 of a lot of speed though. Compared to a LCR anyway.

Currently holds the Mr Yorkshire title. LMAO

Don't you mean you can't get road tax without an MOT? Insurance is invaild without an MOT but I wasn't aware insurance companies checked yet.

I reckon mine was one of the last builds in the factory. Late 2003 although they were selling Cups midway though 2004.

A Cup rear spoiler would set you're car off a treat mate. Doesn't look 5 years old!

I'd have thought a 172 rear bench would look better because it doesn't have the dot pattern.

I'd say for value for money you can't beat the ITG panel filter.

Bigger rear spoiler would look good. 172 or a Cup one.

Bottom one is like of the mk4 Golf isn't it?

My car had the wrong oil in it from new. My uncle changed it after a year and is pretty sure it was the wrong grade. Said it was more like coffee than oil. Knows a thing or 2 about cars after being a mechanic for over 35 years. Car went a hell of a lot better and smoother once he'd put some...

172 conversion sounds good to me!

220bhp? he he! Any thoughts GDI lads?

Love that colour! Looking gud! Can't wait to see it cupped and with turinis.

Yeah no worries

Its a rare yellow mk1 Cup 172. Check out the badge. lol! Bonnet vent too!

How many left? J3ned, what do you reckon?

Around 2200 ish. Wasn't it meant to be a limited run of 500 to start with. I think Frosty had one of the first in britain and the dealer wouldn't budge on the price because it was meant to be limited run. lol!
