£12168.70 with CC.

Not bad. Does anyone know if the Sony MP3 HU can be fitted to the CUP?

 

[Frosty]

I have the Sony MP70 in mine - it is not an MP3 player in the true sense of the word - but it plays CDs full of MP3s.

Fitted the module to retain steering remote and dash display too - works a treat.

 

[D-CUP]

Cool. I realise its an mp3/cd player. Did you fit it yourself or get Renault to do it?

 

[Frosty]

Fitted it myself.

It invalidates the warranty on sound system components I think. So if a speaker blew - you would have to pay for it. But if the engine blew it is totally unrelated.

Check our ICE section in this forum for adapter details and how to remove the dash (if you needed to fit new tweeters etc).

Just shout if you need any more info.

New-car-discount.com - £11400 for standard cup i think.....

Yeah, still be £12600 with the aircon. Incidentally, what is air recirculation that I see listed on some specs?

 

[edde]

Loads of Clios have that air recirculation its supposed to be for use in heavy trafffic it means that the air used in the cabin is recirculated all the time ie new fresh air.

Its just another button and something Renault can put on there standard options list I have never used it.

In my mums clio 1.4 there is a button marked AC which provides reasonably cold air. Is that something different? With Climate I take it you can set the temperature you want?

 

[172gal]

Yep thats right. As low as 16*C or high as 26*C. Works a treat.

£11,797 for a cup with CC.
£11,197 for a standard cup.

 

[D-CUP]

Thats cheap. Cant work out if thats an import or not though.

 

[CupMatt]

D-Cup - I think it is an import as they want to know if you want to pick it up from a Uk port or not.

Check out http://www.dccook.co.uk/http://www.dccook.co.uk/ they are selling a pre-registered UK Cup for £10995

Im after a Cup too, as soon as i sell my poxy Fiat!

 

[D-CUP]

I dont think dccook have Cups with climate. I definitely want climate.

new-car-discount is £12k dead for a cup with CC. Does anyone know if they pre-register?

they do ...
i just searched "renault > clio > petrol" ... and it came up with

Renault Clio 172 Cup 2.0 16v Climate - Pre Registered - UK - £11595

bargin

 

[D-CUP]

.....Plus tax and delivery though. Unless you go pick it up from Rotheram or Manchester.

 

[D-CUP]

Infact DC Cook want to charge £300 extra for metallic paint aswell!

Their total price inc. tax and delivery (by driver) is £12270. So New-car-discount are still the cheapest so far.

The recirculation button actualy cuts off the fresh air intake and recirculates the air you already have in the car through the A/C. I always use this feature in long tunnels or sometime at lights when stuck near a lorrys exhaust. Most of them have timers that switch back to frresh air intake if you forget to switch back yourself.

 

[D-CUP]

Ok, I just found a CUP with climate for £11600 at http://www.ukcarbroker.co.uk/renaultclio.htmhttp://www.ukcarbroker.co.uk/renaultclio.htm

Anybody know anything about this lot?

 

[paulous2k]

Two local dealers offered me a Cup for £11,500. In the end I ordered one with CC for £12K. Theres no reason why any Renault dealer in the UK shouldnt be able to offer exactly the same deal. Go talk to them, its a buyers market. (

 

[D-CUP]

A dealer that I know on a fairly personal basis wanted £11979 for standard one. I might call a couple tomorrow and see if theyll price match.
