MrBlonde's 172 cup

[tomsteer]

Looks great, what spacing are you using?

I'm with you on the Skoda splitters, need to see them as a disposable item! My first genuine one was cracked when I bought the car, that lasted a few months until I hit a bit of debris on a dual carriageway, replaced it with a mint second hand one... 2 whole days before a sodding pheasant decided to kamikaze it

I really fancy the brake ducts too, something to add to the list!

 

[imprezaworks]

Means cutting the arch liner too. Look cool though

 

[leeds2592]

Feck that then haha!!.i'll stick to the skoda one for now.

If you look on my Instagram, although difficult to make out on the pics, I've got a cup one on mine. Luckily it was already on when I bought the car, I've still got the receipt for it that the previous owner kept. Think he paid around £130 which is crazy!

£130 is a ridiculous price for just a tiny splitter!

 

[Chris_Beer]

Not even sure if you can buy them anymore? Last listed price I saw was £252 odd!

 

[Chris_Beer]

Were the air duct surrounds the ones matey was selling on eBay that time?

Different colour/sizes etc? If so what do they fit like? I kind of like the idea of sacking off the fogs

 

[cjgower]

There is genuine and skoda, NO (I SAID NO!) others look any good.

I know the genuine ones cost a bomb but they look so right! Don't know how much they are but mine was well into 3 figures when I got it.

I agree. I think mine was around £180 from my local Renault dealer. Probably paid way too much for it... which could be said for everything i've spent on the car tbh.

There 100mm Bass ports off ebay mate :up:

 

[Chris_Beer]

Ha !

Just seen the company selling Clio ones use the same photo as a Bass Port too, but 3 times the price...

I'll add them to the to-do list potentially... think it looks a lot meaner without fogs

Tell me about it, I wouldn't be paying that much that's for sure. And I've cracked it twice since I've got it as well which isn't ideal.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Scandalous prices for a piece of plastic!!!!:astonished:

 

[Iain C]

Looks great fella.

There a very tight fit tho mate,your have to do some mods to the fog surrounds to @Dr Jekyll is the main man with photos etc on how to do it.Have a look on his build thread.

 

[Chris_Beer]

Just had a look... Did you cut your front panel?!

And also are yours just for show or did you sack off the inner arches?

I'm thinking a smaller port put into the arches which sleeves into the larger front one would be neat and tidy

No mate,just cut about behind the bumper where the fogs use to be.Well its mainly for looks but i may run a cold air feed to the filter,but will prob do that summer time.Ive also put some black mesh at the end of the ducts to.
Well passenger side inner arch lining is still there and drivers front part is not.But to feed to air to the brakes you will have to remove them or cut a hole out.

 

[Chris_Beer]

Appreciate your replies pal. I've got 3 bumpers including the one on the car so I might mock up a custom one sometime. Cold air feed is what I'm thinking, the other side can just match without function lol...

Anyway... back to the thread... nice photos!

 

[MrBlonde]

Went to a location in Chelmsford today after shopping for a few photos quickly,car is dirty tho!

 

[MrBlonde]

 

[MrBlonde]

None of my photos have been edited.

 

[Chris_Beer]

Prefer the previous set but still :up::up:

Cheers mate,yeah they didnt come out as good as i hoped they would.Just wanted a few photos with different backdrops.Still need to get a decent petrol station photo in the dark,them photos look good because of the lighting.

 

[Chris_Beer]

I'm sure a couple of those would be ace with a little edit!

Not much out there uneditted these days anyway.

I'm liking the effort going on, shame your not closer as I tend not to have any other photos of my car other than in my street or axel stands!

I do try and keep the photos as real as to what they are and dont really edit them,only on instagram.

Thanks mate,yeah shame pal.Im going to be doing a photoshoot day soon with a few local boys soon,so should get some decent photos then of other clios in a group shot.

 

[Stefan.]

Awesome pics

Cup looks brilliant

Thanks very much mate!

 

[MrBlonde]

Went out a few weeks ago with @Dr Jekyll to try to find some locations for some night photos,couldn't really find a decent location but managed to get a couple of photos anyway.

Not the best of photos.

 

[imprezaworks]

Pair of stunners. The cars.

Thanks mate
Both were filthy tho,as we all know because of this time of year!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah the look minging :/

 

[MrBlonde]

A few more i found.

 

[-Simon]

Very nice indeed mate. With the drop that you've got completely transforms the look. Love it and good to see one so looked after.

 

[Jekyll]

Couldn't agree more @BoostedSi

The owner is a bit of a strange one though.....

Yep defo a strange one i'am :grin: @Dr Jekyll

Thanks @BoostedSi next up 2118's im thinking or some other 15inch alloy.

 

[-Simon]

2118's are the way forward mate. I would put nothing else on mine now. Silver Turinis is a close second. If you get some 2118's we'll be twins ha ha

 

[MrBlonde]

I would love to get some with some yokohamas on,not sure on what colour tho?.maybe get them resprayed in something bit different?.still a dark colour tho.

Have you a thread on yours mate or Instagram? @BoostedSi

 

[-Simon]

Only my pictures in Clio media. "Few pics of my turbo'd cup"

I'm in the dark ages in regard to Social Media so Instragram etc is a thing of mystical wonder I'm afraid.

I've got RSR's on mine and they are amazing for the money they cost. Really rate them and the grip is phenomenal in the dry.

 

[182_steve]

Just realised I've never posted in this thread. Fail! The car looks awesome, really does

I know your thinking of a wheel change and 2118's are indeed lovely, BUT...... the silver Turini's do look great on it already :up::up: It's a tough choice lol!

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks @182_steve I do agree the Turinis do look good,but i want it to look a bit more aggressive.I dont think I would sell the Turinis so can always swap them over from time to time,maybe winter wheels as they have Rainsport3's on at the mo.

I think maybe with a nice set of summer tyres on them,i might change my mind,then its prob me looking for the next thing to do haha.
