Hi All, The time has come now where all my alloys need refurbing due to flaking paint/corrosion and some light scuffs on one. Does anyone have any reccomendations on a good company to use in the midlands or warwickshire region? Also, will they take the tyres off and refit and rebalance...

'03 Clio Cup 172 My Alarm keeps going off randomly (Standard Renault/Cobra Alarm). I then unlock the car to dissarm the alarm, but when I go to lock the car again it starts off with a high pitch constant beep under the bonnet, leading to the full alarm going off. I have tried opening doors and...

Hi All, I have had my '03 Cup for a year now and ever since I got it, it has had really annoying squeeky wipers. A few months back I tried to rectify th problem by lubricating the mechanism at the base of the drivers side wiper but no joy. I have since realised that the squeeking cannot be...

Hi all. Thought i'd finally get some pics of the Cup uploaded. Had it nearly 6 months now and I am absolutely chuffed with it. Not planning any mods. Gonna leave it how it is. Did think about coilovers but really dont want to malest her. Also, i'm amazed at how good on fuel it is! Its not...

Hi all, I’m looking at upgrading the sound system in my ’03 172 Cup, and need some advice. I’ve installed Subs in all of my previous cars, but really don’t want to install a sub this time (due to practicality and rattling etc). So I really want to upgrade the Head unit, and run upgraded...

Pulling out of work, and noticed a Trophy in the car park! Never seen it before though!

Spotted in car park behind the salvos! Blue, silver turinis and 3/4 number plate me thinks!

Hi All, My girlfriends Clio has a dull section on the front bumper, which just doesn't shine like the rest of the car. Is there any polish I can use to try and buff it up and improve the shine? To be honest, i'm not sure whether its just a bad respray job or spot repair, although the...

As soon as finances allow, i'm planning on upgrading the sound system in my cup. So far I have decided on an Alpine HU and I know that I definetely dont want a sub! Once i've installed my stereo i'm going to upgrade the speakers in the doors(components) and the ones in the rear(coaxials). I...

Hi all! Picked up my Cup last week and I am loving it! Different world to my 1.2 Punto I part-exed for it!:evil: Just a quick Q about the clutch! Most of the time, the clutch feels absolutely fine and perfectly smooth, but sometimes (seems to be after driving for a while) it feels not so...

Hi all! I have an '03 172 Cup, and have noticed a switch as the Accelerator pedal is pushed to the floor (like a kick-down switch) which does nothing (apparently its a safety switch for models with cc). I had a go in my mates '03 172 Cup yesterday, and his doesn't seem to have this switch...

Gonna clean my car this morning, quite cold outside. What temperature water should I be using? Does it matter? Taa

I've been to see a 172 Cup, and during my thorough checks at the dealership :approve: I popped a CD in the CD Player to check it worked ... It didn't!:( Its the standard renault player, in an '03 172 Cup. It takes the CD, then says load for a few seconds, then goes back onto radio! Pressing...

Anyone know anything about the history of this 172 Cup? Reg: S14 CUP Its done 27000 miles and is HPI clear, just wondering if anybody knew the previous owner as it has got a cliosport.net sticker in the back window! Also, did the 172 Cup come with the option of anthracite turinis, or are...

Hello everyone, I've been looking round the forums for a while now, whilst i've been looking for a nice 172 cup. I have now found a nice example, and i'm hopefully picking it up tonight! I'm 21 and from the Coventry area. The Cup already has a cliosport.net sticker in the back window...

Hi all, My girlfreind has an 03 Reg Clio 1.2 Expression, and it seems to have developed a fault. On the lights panel between the speedo and rev counter the STOP light and handbrake indicator ( ! ) lights keep flickering on and off. It would seem that this is a loose connection to me. Any...
