New car! Clio 182 cup

[Addsclio94]

Hi!
Found a nice low mileage clio 182 cup on piston heads and just had to buy her, love hot hatches, previously owned a corsa vxr (which was pretty crap) but so far I'm loving the clio. So much fun to drive not sure on modifications as of yet first job is to get the stripes re done. Il post more photos when I can

Love that colour!

It's not a CUP it's a cup packed 182, unless someone's changed the seats to the leather ones and given it xenon lights.

 

[Addsclio94]

Ah i see! Yeah such a nice colour. Really stands out !

 

[imprezaworks]

It's a ff, better.


Fastest colour

 

[BGEarles]

By far the nicest colour [emoji7]

Has this one only got 35k on the clocks?
Looks very nice mate!

 

[Addsclio94]

Looks nice that! Yeah travelled a fair way for it! Yeah only 35k miles.

 

[Addsclio94]

Thought I'd take a few more pictures after her first clean! The colour really stands out once clean. Only thing that's annoying me is the stripes peeling off... Could anyone point me in the right direction of the best way to getting these sorted Thanks!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah just remove them

 

[Addsclio94]

I was going to originally but then realised theres not that many with the stripes on anymore... if I removed them id be worries about the paintwork underneath

 

[AIRBORNEGOD]

I like them on. Are you getting a splitter?

 

[Cupblues]

RB :yum: Stripes off for me. Impressive find that, with such low mileage.

 

[Addsclio94]

Yeah going to get the stripes re done. Then will look at splitters and maybe an exhaust system

 

[imprezaworks]

Ball park ish, what did you pay for it?

 

[Addsclio94]

I paid 4k for it

Same reason I never took the two-tones stripes off of my 172.

Although surely a hella-deep polish would fix that?

In any case, keep them

You can get a full set of high quality vinyl stripes off eBay for very little money mate.

Above is the set I used on my old RB182, worked a charm. Mine had quite distinct colour fade over the bonnet which was seldom corrected with machine polishing.

Thanks mate. Just need to decide now wether to keep the stripes or not... so undecided :/

That looks great, and definitely keep the stripes. Where are you from pal? Oh and as is not been said yet, being it to CSF in August.

 

[Addsclio94]

Knaresborough is cool and always good to see more Yorkshire members.
Blyton ain't too far from you either!

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

I'd get fresh Stripes but i wouldn't remove them, suit RB so much!

Cracking example is that.

 

[Addsclio94]

Yeah think of decided to keep them and just get them re done! Thanks dead chuffed with it

 

[Addsclio94]

A quick picture after work! Quite like the dipped bulbs that are in but now the sidelights look rubbish. So I have just ordered some more as well as numberplate leds will post pics when fitted

Looking nice!
I should get some stripes fitted too, love the look.

Heard that the thumbgrips are a common problem on these cars so I ordered some replacements and they seem to fit well, tidys up the steering wheel
