I want a 172 Cup...

[Peperami]

Standard cup, no aircon, is the most fun car ive ever owned/ driven.

 

[mestew87]

I am soon to become a member of the 172 cup family

 

[Munson]

Im thinking of listing mine on ebay very soon tbh, just think its time to try something differnt, i fancy a mk1 golf with a tt conversion.

Yeah nothing to do with the fact it's fucked. Do you forget every post you make? LOL

 

[.GAZ.]

Eh?

I did 100k miles in four years commuting 70 miles a day - if you mod it sure it's no good (mine isn't anymore) but as standard why don't you think they're any good as a daily hack???

Mine was modded mark

 

[.GAZ.]

In my very honest opinion, i thought my ph1 was more agile and quicker than my old Cup.

I've just bought another ph1 for my European road trip in June! Should i have stretched my budget for a cup? Who knows, think i'l be glad of the aircon when i get there lol!

 

[Christopher]

FFS!! No-one on ClioSport.net is going to buy your car!

FAO: Christopher..

Get a PH1 I heard they're faster

I've had a Ph1 172 mate. A rapid one.

 

[Munson]

When all is said and done, I can see the 172Cup being the kind of car that you'll find concourse examples of in 10 years. I can't say the same of any 182 except the Trophy. Sadly, most RS Clios are now becoming charver sheds.

 

[Christopher]

Well it's about 70kg in difference between the 182 and 172 Cup. The air con which is about 30kg is the majority of it (In one item). Turinis or lighter wheels should make a difference too so I don't think it's the weight. Maybe it's those coilovers on yours Chris, makes it handle a bit s**t.

LOL.

It's the rawness more than being a lot quicker. Mine actually felt better in the corners, the Cup rolled quite a bit.

 

[Christopher]

I really want one. Anyone know of a genuinely mint one, that isn't Maz's?

 

[Bluebeard]

The guy in the projects section (Project Showroom 172 cup) was on about selling his.

Probably the mintest one in existance! lol.

 

[SBV116]

Should have bought mine!

 

[Christopher]

Oh, Ben's finished with it now, eh?

Yeah, I've got my eye on this cup

 

[JamieG]

I love mine - wouldnt sell it for any other clio, bar a Trophy or a Williams.

I am fortunate, that it doesnt come with the standard seats and has recaro's in there instead.

I <3 my cup!

Yours is a great example TBH.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, yours is great, always liked it.

Gaz's old one is still my favourite though. Along with Newms' old one.

 

[JamieG]

Cheers, it is a beautiful car - but unfortunately Chris, i ain't sell it quite just yet!

 

[Christopher]

B*stard.

 

[Gaz_]

Mine will be MINT. Booked in for paint end of March, then wheel refurb, then full detail incuding engine. Want it to be near concourse. Not fiddling with this too much, they look ace as they are.

 

[Christopher]

Yup. Similar plans for mine this month. Wheel refurb and paint.

 

[Gaz_]

Excellent

 

[JamieG]

Mine has just had the front end resprayed to get rid of all the annoying stone chips, gonna get rear bumper done sometime soon too.

I wish i could make mine into concourse - but with it being a daily driver - that will never happen

 

[Christopher]

I drive mine once or twice a week now TBH.

My daily has a V8, I have to slum it.

 

[Gaz_]

Oh mine is-ish. When it comes warmer i'm gonna give it a full wash down underneath, clean up all suspension/hub components then crack out the smooth black hamerite. All helps with the clean look

 

[Christopher]

Since I value you opinion... keep the wheels white, or go back to black? Gloss.

 

[Gaz_]

Hmmmm

I really like Pritchards? RB 182 on the cupped black rims he has. But think yours looks sooooo right on the white Turinis? Also, black wheels are a b*****d to keep mint. Swirl up and you need tyre black everytime you give it a bath......

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, exactly my thoughts mate. White it is then. I have four fresh PE2's waiting to go on too.

Cheers.

 

[jordan172]

me and paul went for a blast yesterday along some lovely coastal roads.... his cup is quite a bit faster than my 172.

his has been birchdown/kev/gaz/steve/etc etc tuned though

would love a cup if paul didnt already have one

 

[Gaz_]

HA! Was a freak that car. Its not running anything special. BBPT grpN ecu, decat + prospeed system and a V6 airbox Steve put on it. Bloody flew!!!

yeh it looked soooo good in the sun, the paints still as mint as when we picked it up. as he keeps it in his garage all week and it only comes out on weekends

 

[Šįk]

Hold out for a 'mint' Silver 172cup! And fit recaro treadlines.. Winner!

PSJ.

Silver Cups FTL. Mondial is the only colour to have a cup in.

I'm a huge 172 Cup fan. Not driven one though. Just love the look of them.

 

[Curtis!]

Don't you think Mondial is pretty bland though seeing so many about? Kinda like every colour I guess though.

 

[Jonff]

:nono: tut tut! lol.

I do like Silver Cups, I nearly went down to Reading to view one. I do prefer the Blue though.

 

[Brett]

You don't see that many cups. Albeit I saw one before. However if you want the rarest (and best ) 2.0 RS Clio then you get a ph1. Sunflower for ultimate rare too.

 

[Curtis!]

I do like yours Jonff, just the way it sits is great.

BUT, if I was sat there at a CS meet I'd feel kinda, abit plain and stuff. If I was driving one round I'd probably be going crazy because I'm driving an RS lol, but if my 1.2 was mondial I wouldn't feel quite so in your facish, more average blue. I seen one yesterday and caught my eye straight away, stuck out like a very beautiful sore thumb inbetween all the other lesser looking but better build cars

I'd have a Mondial, but would be afew different touches on it. Plus it's dark enought to warrant gloss black IMO, unlike the naughty, so would jizz that all over it.

Want a rare RS Brett, find me a V6 in Lunar grey Never seen a V6 in the flesh

 

[Šįk]

Mondial blue is nice.. But common..

IMO it's Such a shame the 172cup didn't come in it's own, a one off colour like the trophy did.

PSJ.

 

[Munson]

Fairly sure Mondial is unique to the Cup but I may be wrong.

 

[Fletcher]

Iirc you're right.

 

[Iain C]

I want another one too. I miss mine.
I didnt like doing a 50 mile a day commute in it tho.
