Did I hear someone say the Cup was going to have an extended run and all colours would be available?

the blue the cup comes in is possibly one of the most repulsive shades they could of chosen.
It looks like something a 12yr old would paint their tonka truck if they had a choice. Its tacky.
Sorry, but it just looks plain cheap, and the blue trim......jesus, dont get me started.
Silver anyday.
Ben - u are the first, no, the ONLY, person I have ever heard to critisise the Cup blue!!!
Like I said yesterday...Quote: Originally posted by dash on 20 August 2003
V6 = Illiad blue
Cup isnt.
Ooops, yea.......Quote: Originally posted by RSTDL on 19 August 2003
Yeah the point being though that the cup (like the williams) was marketed as a one colour only model (mondial blue) and thats what it should have been kept as - it made it unique, and that little bit different from the a standard red, black, blue or silver 172 - A cup in silver will always look like a 172 with a cheap interior and NOT like an original cup - nobody who sees one in silver is going to go "oh look, theres one of those 172 CUPs......" Sorry, but it shouldnt have been allowed - it kinda pisses of cup owners - just like the way they added climate control - I fail to understand how that would be top of the shopping list when purchasing a performance car? But yeah, after everything if silvers your thing get silver just be prepared for "oh I thought they were all made in that subaru blue colour........"
BenR - I take it you mean V6 sprayed blue? Did the customer not know that it was available in blue to start with (Oddysey blue for Mk1) or mondial blue for Mk2?

Just like there was only going to be a limited amount of williams and 172 cups built
Well, if the Cup does end in November (as we were told) then we could be ok, but I wonder if theres a "Cup 2" in the pipeline a la Williams Stylee?!Quote: Originally posted by ChavyBoy on 20 August 2003

limited number of Williams - yes
limited number of Cups - no, Renault never said this!
There is something somewhere about them being limited, but its not a limited number of say 1000 cars then production stops, its a case of they will be made for a certain period of time.Quote: Originally posted by kis172 on 20 August 2003
