My new cup 172!!!

[Clio_007]

...i had the choice between a type R and a cup..i wne for the cup!!so glad i did, soooo much fun to drive

 

[Alan]

Nice one mate, blue or silver?

 

[Clio_007]

blue ...will get some pics up soon..just been blasting around in the sunshine

 

[Mike_SE]

good choice mate! it would have been the choice between an older, higher mileage typre R, or this nice and fresh cup fitted with an LPG tank and 17"........ im not regretting my decision! its a cracking little car

 

[Fred@BTM]

LPG?????

 

[badinvincible]

Good point.

 

[Clarkie172]

is performance actually the same then?

 

[fUbAr]

nice one ben, will keep an eye out for you.

 

[Jones]

Fill the tank with n2o

 

[Mike_SE]

lpg is pretty good, aye! the best part is when you fill it up........ costs about 13 quid!

performance is ever so slightly down, but its hardly noticeable really, and its perfect for just driving round to work or the shop when your not bothered.



all in all im well glad i got my Cup, the same as you 007!

 

[ukaskew]

Sounds very interesting, I would go back to 16s as soon as possible though.

 

[MarkCup]

^^^ Aye...why the 17s?

 

[Mondial172]

Was that the LGP one on Ebay?

 

[Mike_SE]

why the 17s?! coz they were on it when i got it, and i like the look of a slightly bigger wheel! aye, that was the one indeed

Those are 15" alloys, same pattern as the normal ones but an inch smaller, maybe wrong but i do specialize in alloys wheels.

 

[welsh172]

Yep, the Auz, NZ and South African RS cars get 15" for some reason.

Its Because the 195/45/16 that come on the euro models didnt meet load/safety standards in those countrys, but the 182s with 205/45/16 passed

Get some 16" 172 or 182 rims with the 205 tyres then would be odd to see an RS with a sunroof. I was under the impression the RS had extra bracing in the shell hence no sunroof?
