Hi all, my exciting new toy

[GreedyClio1]

Hi everyone,

New member on here so thought I’d introduce myself.
As of yesterday I’m a proud owner of a 2005 Clio 182 Cup in the amazing Inferno Orange!

It’s got full service history *yaaasss* and has spent most of its life in Bridgend and Falmouth.

Hoping to restore it to its former glory and make an OEM+ Weekend/Track weapon.

Hope you like the photos and watch this space!

Cheers
- GreedyClio

Welcome, good choice.

Does anyone know where I can find the ‘Cup’ stickers for the door pillars? I’ve been hunting for most of the night.. (too excited about the car to sleep, sad I know..)

Welcome.

KAM Racing have what you need (if you remove the 172 bit) -> https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tun...2-renault-oe-door-pillar-badge-rs172-cup.html

Thanks for the advice, but I think these are for the Cup 172, I’m after the Cup 182 stickers...

I don't *think* the 182 came with "cup182" stickers. Only the 172 did. So just use that one linked but only attach the cup part and not the 172

This is correct, however the 'Cup' badges on the 182 used the same-ish font as the Clio badge itself. The 'Cup 172' badges used a more squared off font.
Removing the '172' portion would fill the gap, although it's not technically the same as original

You can’t buy the 182 ‘Cup’ badges anymore unfortunately. I’m pretty sure someone on here had some made because they couldn’t get them.

The ‘182 Cup’ did come with unique door pillar badges. The ‘172 Cup’ badges are still available, but Renault discontinued the 182 ones for some reason.

After hunting high and low, I found (what I believe to be) the very last badge online, anywhere, last year. But needed a pair. So set about getting some made up, that look as close to the genuine item as possible.

@GreedyClio1 If you’d like a set, I can get them posted out to you for £15..
