Sounds interesting Mark. It would be a big difference going from your stipped 172 Cup to a brand new car with an interior etc though wouldn't it.
Got my Focus day-to-day so used to some comfort.
It won't stay too standard for long though. Just going to wait for them to start filtering through used. Once there's enough choice I'm having one.
Trouble is I think I'll have difficulty finding one specced without Recaros or aircon and with the Cup spoiler...I'll take any of the wheels though
They do a Renault i.d. Recaro carbon trim interior pack that comes with normal recaros not yellow. At the bottom of the list:
