Show us ya Cup

[poundrick]

Well people just thought I would post a picture of my Cup, I am about to go on a £7000 spending spree to try and make it individual, its gonna be tough considering the amount of Nicely Modded Clios out there.

Any suggestions were I should start.

If any of ya have any nice Cup pics please post them here.http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1054814871__4-06-03_004.jpg

Hi mate change the wheels and go for engine mods and join cliosport?

 

[wongy008]

here a quick list for 7k.

junk the interior as its quite fowl. and sit too high,

get a couple of racing like stylish recaro or something else, in as close a colour to the cup as possible. if u need the rear seats get them retrimmed in same colour

exterior i would leave well alone except maybe the reno extended spoiler

sealed ind kit

full zorst inc decat

ecu remap

lowered on coilover, like h and R or avos

front strut brace

rear strau brace

full roll cage

good set of tyres on std wheels

maybe good ice system.

budget kinda gone with all that

thats how i would mod a cup if i had one

just imagine how fun it will be too drive too

I have done most of that list just waiting for my BMC airfilter to come and to finish off my install.

Lowered on 17" Turinis

Needs to be finished off (bit of a ruch to get it looking good enough to show at the french car show).

Cost as yet around 5K

Thats it...

If/when I get my Cup I am going for some "proper" seats in it!

 

[Ben j]

then it wont be individual as pauls done it all

 

[paddymph]

pauls car looks even better in the flesh!

 

[Rich-D]

Mine will be different...

paul172cup

How about blue carpets?

 

[paul172cup]

I think i might try to do the door cards next.

Trying to do all the work myself.

That is my first attempt at a install and i am quite pleased with the results but still needs a lot of work to get it how i want it to look.

Just removed my foglights ready for the cold air feed to the BMC filter.

Hi Paul

What suspension kit have you got, and what do you think of the powerflow zorst - looks gorgeous, buit how does it feel/sound?

 

[paul172cup]

Suspension is Apex lowering springs but i will be going for coilovers in the future.

Exhaust sounds sweet but is rather loud (they way i like it) but thats only because i did not have a middle box fitted. Cost me £190 from Top Gear in Doncaster.

Bargain!!!

Full system (cat back) I pressume?!



p.s. Do your insurance know about the different seats?! If so, do they charge extra?!

 

[172nightrider]

That must be the biggest pipe on a Clio ever..... bet it sounds sweet.... Quality effort mate, glad you got rid of the old seats......

Very nicely done!!!!

Hey Paul the cups looking good, what is the filter you have ordered.

I had Top Gear in Burnley fit a exhuast to my VTS and I noticed the car actually lost some performance but sounded f**king awesome, have you noticed any difference on the Cup

My parents live in a village called Fence, a couple of miles from Burnley, but I bought a house on the outskirts of Nelson last summer...

 

[Chris n nic]

Paul...have you got a pic of the back of yer cup with exhaust. Contemplating getting one (should get my Cup next week) and wanted to see a wider shot



Cheers

 

[paul172cup]

I will try to get a better pic of it tomorrow for you once i have cleaned it.

poundrick. Car does seam better low down but once i have got my filter on (BMC CDA sp008) it will be put on the rollers and have the fueling sorted if needed.

Insurance did not charge any extra for the seats as i have not removed any airbags. Bargain

Exhaust pic as requested

[Charlie]

looks nice mate. two questions: how come you didnt cut into the bumper with the exhaust? and are those bucket seats well uncomfortable - cos they look it!

cheers
charlie

 

[paul172cup]

Seats are ok. Take a bit of getting used to but i do quite a lot of miles and have no problems.

Did not want to cut the bumper really. May change the exhaust next year so i decided against it.

 

[badley]

paul172cup,

That has been lowered perfectly, congratulations!!!!

By how much did you lower it?

 

[CUPPY]

looks really low mate (the exhaust) would have looked better cut into bumper but i understand your reasons

 

[paul172cup]

Looks lower in the pic than it actually is. No problems over large speed bumps.

Got a rear splitter to manufacture to go under the bumper yet.

RT-ED Apex -40mm springs
