Took delivery of my 172 cup today
Bought it from another forum member @avstar1 completely blind
Albeit he sent me lots of pictures and a video walk around.
here’s a copy & paste from the advert giving some details on the car;
Engine:
Catcams 428
Matched Inlets
Mapped standard ECU
Ph1...
This car has come up for sale local to me, noticed the clio sport sticker in the back window.
anyone know if it’s a forum members old car?
from what I can gather it’s been passed around a bit

£62.99 with a 35% discount code brought it down to about £41
Asked the lad on the counter for extra discount and he got it down to £35.

Thought other people may benefit from...
The locking wheel nut key is missing from my car, can somebody in the know tell me if these are the standard bolts and if so where I can get a key?
Thanks
Edit: should have mentioned it's a PH2 172
Car passed it's MOT today and this was the only advisory. I haven't spoken to the garage yet so not sure if it's just the one or both, but I would be implied to change both at the same time.
I have noticed that the car tends to wander a bit but I put this down to the wheels tending to follow...
After getting a company vehicle I decided I wanted something fun for the weekend.
I had a really tight budget and Clio 1*2 seemed to pop up everywhere I asked.
One popped up for sale locally and after a few weeks bartering I picked it up.
These are the only pictures I have at the minute...
