Why would I want to?
Would probably cost about 2-3k to change, to get air, 5 more CDs, leather, blah, blah, blah, etc.
The Cup for me does exactly what it says on the tin! Mines not going anywhere...
yea just get a few discreet mods and you will easliy attain another 10bhp. which should get you down another 0.2 to 60 ((if that actually matters)). just dont like the exhaust or the grey lights or the grey belts.
hows about the ktec hidden exhaust. sportscat. piper induction. maybe chip. enjoy smoother pick up, sportier exhaust note ((and then some)) and still look totally standard. in fact.... with all that you probably achieve 15+ bhp then your cup or 172 will be faster than 182 and probably be pushing 189-190bhp... given weight advantage even a 172 with 190bhp will match if not be slightly quicker than a CTR...
((BTW i have a 172 not cup but i love the look of the Cup))

Klang, people who are changing there Clio Cups for the 182 are not doing it because they do not like what they are already driving, infact that couldnt be further from the truth.
The reason why myself and others are doing this is because we want to continue driving a car that has the same performance of the Cup with the toys that make driving a little more pleasurable. I have had comments like why do you need "Air Con" etc etc. Well I drive through Londons rush hour traffic of an evening from work and let me tell you, in the summer that is a long drive. When you put the CC on, it makes the journey a whole different experience.
And its just another way of former Cup drivers getting one over on the drivers of 172s....thats a joke!!!!
So chill out mate, and be happy with the car you have as it is great to drive and a brilliant little motor.

mk8Fiesta ST,172 cup
my cup is going nowhere. had it nearly a year now only done 4800 miles and there is so much more i want to do to it, ie itg maxogen, de cat, unichip, its already been lowered and has a cat back magnex and ive upgraded the stereo and speakers and i love it. dont see the point in forking out more money for a slower car

Im staying with the cup...I dont need aircon or leather seats or horid rims.
Its nearly always fecking freezing in this country n e way/!!!
Wouldnt mind a 182 exhaust tho
Remapped derv Golf
Nope! Cant afford too.
Have the best kept cup here (cheers sluggs) - Absolutely no frigging way im swapping sideways.... but then again, im not a "moschino from head to toe" man and dont care about the new "in thing" just because its "in". The Exhaust isnt for me either, having a raised-in-bumper-plus-alloy-shieldy-bit 206 180esk exhaust style done next month.
Nice
im keeping mine also, i did test drive a 182 before i bought mine,but was not really impressed,didnt like the grey lights/seat belts,or the pea shooter/wheel barrow exhaust and in my opinion noticibaly slower,and i got a 5 month old cup with low miles for 4 grand less than the 182.
the cup is amazing and will only be replaced (a long time in the future),by something that would be alot quicker.
Keeping the cup but then why would I swap it for a 172 with a performance exaust? Renault must be pissing themsleves laughing at all this rivalry over the same car!
Alternativly keep your 172, mod the suspension and engine to achieve an extra 10bhp and buy a 172 rear valence and exhaust system et voila un 182!

I doubt there pissing themselves laughing over rivalry, because there is no rivalry, its banter ffs...........
Ill be keeping mine
Agreed
Keeping mine too, have cc already which is all i need for the summer, have a decent system installed for all the slow traffic driving to work. Dorve the 182 and couldnt tell the difference really, will have to go for another one, but was very releaved. Love my car to bits, but have to hand it in as it has a phantom problem whereby the engine cuts out occasionaly, then theres the 2nd to 3rd not engaging smoothly at high revs and a strange squeek i only seem to hear when driving in multi storeys, but once thats all sorted itll be a pucker little thang. Would only sell it if i couldnt afford to keep it.
