They all are like that.

According to this thread its a cup but it just confuses me a bit

Where do people dig up these old threads from lol. Put a pic up, CS will soon tell you what it is.

There's no abs pump on it, ill get some pictures up in a bit

 

[DrR]

If its not got abs its a CUP unless someone's been messing.

​BTW full fat is a 182 only term, referring to one with both cup packs.

 

[DrR]

Oh it has to be blue or silver to be a 172 CUP

 

[.Joe]

This is where its confusing me, as it has the chassis number of a cup, no abs like a cup, lowered suspension like a cup, but it is in black has A/C and the normal 172 seats etc.

retrofitted AC and interior by previous owners?

thats not a cup

 

[.Joe]

so even though it has the VIN of a cup and no ABS, etc.
Mine is not a cup

 

[jack_davey]

What leads you to believe it has no ABS?

 

[.Joe]

no abs pump, and the wheels just lock completely performing an emergency stop

 

[jack_davey]

it's hard to spot, it's hidden behind some fabric in the engine bay, it's below the PAS reservoir.

If the wheels are locking it could possibly be malfunctioning/disconnected/disabled

 

[decco]

100% unless someone resprayed it and Stole the washer blanks turinis and spoiler

 

[.Joe]

all that was confusing me was the face it shares the same VIN number first digits as the cup, but the logbook does not state anything

 

[decco]

A lot of logbooks on the ph2 172's say "exclusive " but they arent so i wouldnt get to hung up about it

 

[.Joe]

the logbook just says Renault 1998cc and thats about it
theres type: CB1N
then underneath says CB1N0F

 

[DrR]

It's not a cup. I've been on here for a while and never heard of anything about cup/none cup VIN number before.
