Mondial blue colour, poverty spec interior(no leather) cup spoiler, turninis, no sunroof, no climate control. To list a few.

Got a link to the car? will be able to tell you in seconds

Put number plate into mycarcheck website. It will tell you.

That's not a cup mate if that's the one you plan on looking at.

 

[jgvonza172]

iv figured it out. its obvious because its in monaco blue the cup wasent in that colour.

thanks anyway lads

There's a lot out there being sold as Cups which aren't Cups. Was a right mare when I was looking for one.
Although that one doesn't even say it's a Cup.

Would imagine something like mycarcheck will only list it as "Clio 2.0 16v" or "Clio Sport".
e.g. when I put my reg into blackcircles it'll only offer me 195/50s (Cup should be 195/45s, it even says so in the handbook!)
iirc there's something about the VIN that tells you if it's a Cup but I can't remember what, I'm sure someone will link it any minute now..

No mention of it being a CUP??

love the ad, running over 172 BHP with no mods

 

[jgvonza172]

the only reason i though it was a cup is that my insurance company classed it as a cup which i questioned them about and they were adiment it is one.

Seems a good buy that (apart from the 17s, get it on 15s)

 

[jgvonza172]

ye thats first on my todo list!!! biding on a set of turinis at the moment but if i dont get them it will be the oz f1's.

 

[hilldawg172]

Get 15s mate! Turinis are overrated tbh there not even that light. All 1*2's should have 15s they transform the car.

 

[madcarl27]

over 172bhp lol haha lol

 

[jgvonza172]

ye the over 172bhp comment is funny. dose it really make a huge diff on the 15's?

 

[plymcl172]

17's are fine for the road and on sportlines but if you do do track days and also want cheap tyres then get some 15's !

In what way are 17s fine? They look s**t, cost a fortune to wrap, kill acceleration and completely ruine the handling of the car lol.

Cup = nasty interior, no aircon.
(although apparently there were a few factory fitted aircon upgrades to bring it back nearer to normal spec, typical french)

Easy way to find out is to race it against another Cliosport.....the Cup should walk it
