No idea tbh pal my friend works at bentley he was friends with a chap who made beautiful leather shod steering wheels there should of removed it looking back i wasnt expecting much for the money but when it returned its was stunning he also did a vinyl roof on a mini for my day when the bentley...

Hiya pal i no this thread is mega old but i found it lookin for answers about my car ive got a ph2 172 cup ex demo car in black with an f4rd7 engine i cant find any answers
Oh sorry the cup chassis refers to the wider track it has on the standard car the suspension is irrelevant as the oem stuff is long gone hope this answers your question
Just a normal rs spec standard car theres a pic of it on this thread and of the chassis number alls it has different is the cup chassis an suspension hope this helps
Mine is a standard rs with all the trimmings digi climate half leather no spoilers or splitters but has cup suspension an chassis im told they do this so you get the feel for both types of car this is common practice for car manufacturers there is probably many out there but most people put...
Yep me dad just said the same called me a silly boy too oh well any1 got any cup suspension standard rims aircon pump fogs steering wheel an airbox for sale lol
Well its offical just spoke to renault uk they did some digging an it was a demo car in austria cup chassis but with all the trimmings and its black so the only black cup in the uk so if any1 ask what colours come in now you can say blue silver an 1 black one :)
Ive just asked jeremy at renaultsport the question so ill just wait an see i guess i know for certain though it had much better handling than all my previous clios when it was standard
Strange isnt it the guy at renault did say it may have gone via austria to the geneva motor show just across the border an if it did hold anymore value ive removed any chance of that by modifying it but im not too fussed it owes me pence an i thrash the b****cks off it every morning down the...
Heres a pic of the chassis num in the corner u can just see the black bonnet
I think youve hit the nail on the head there about it being a test mule it had only done 19k on its fourth birthday so hardly any use
Its rhd an i agree with all your sayin but according to renault an insurers its a cup an if its right about cups chassis num starting with c1bn then its all there its very wierd but i will say in standard guise it handled loads better than my previous 172s an my 182
Just been on to renault again its an austrian import speced to the owners requirements bloke said its rare ive deleted the aircon binned the foglights an fitted ktec coilovers an gas shocks an speedline maracanas in white prob should of left it standard
Hi all ive just bought a 2002 clio 172 in black looks like a normal rs no splitters has climate an abs but insurance websites an renault both say its a cup but its black it has no alarm or etched reg on the glass it handles completely different to my old 182 the chassis number starts cb1n also...
