Newbie with a 197 Cup

[Guy9]

Hey everyone! Finally bought a Clio 197 Cup. I bloody love it! But firstly my old Citroen C2 VTR. A number of mods including custom induction, fk highsports and decat exhaust system.

At FCS 2011...

Now the Clio...

Not done a lot to it. Tinted the windows, chrome exhaust tips, few touches here and there. Biggest thing to get next is a Cup spoiler for her.

Hope to get more involved on here as time goes by

Very nice Guy.

That's an ex press car. It was used for the early press shots. It's got the cup suspension, obviously as it's a Cup, but the callipers were the wrong colour. There's loads of photos of it about.

Theres's a whole series of the sunset photos on the Renault press site: http://www.verdictoncars.com/jsp/vocmain.jsp?lnk=211&featureid=842&description=Clio Renaultsport 197 Cup

That's my bloody car! I wandered why the callipers weren't red. Clearly photoshopped in that one shot. Wander how it ended up with the graphics then? I shouldn't be worried its an ex-press car should I?

I've got the hi res shots off the old press site. If you pm me your email address I'll fire the over when I next turn my PC on.

The press fleet get well looked after, and well used. I'd say it's safe to say that you own what was the first 197 Cup registered in the UK.

I've just checked, I've got 17 of the Renault press shots and a handful from the actual press launch. It was the photos from the press launch which convinced me to order a white one.

Here's one from the launch:
