Welcome to my 197 Cup

Mark122 · Sep 20, 2009

Hi, im Mark 22 from N.Ireland.

Previously i owned a Megane Sport, but after a few problems i wanted a change. I drove my parents 197 FF and fell in love, then drove a cup and had to have one!

The Megane

So here it is, 2008 Cup with 16k

The car was very diry

this is only a quick clean, i will be using a machine on it next weekend but this weekend time was against me

The tools

Washed using 2BM
Wheels with bilberry
Shuts and trims Megs APC
Tar Autosmart Tardis

Arches Cleaned

Clayed using Sonus Clay and Last touch as lube

Car was rinsed down and washed again.

On went this new product, Fire Glaze. I love it!

So easy on and off.

Wheels dressed with Megs, Trims with Chemical Guys.

And finished.... For now!

Nice! The 197 really needs a spoiler though. Just not the huge halfords esque one

I dont know how you detailing guys can be arsed doing that!

Good effort though. Whites a b**ch to keep clean but you look like you enjoy it.

Clio-Ell · Sep 20, 2009

Done a good job with cleaning that, come up well.

Already on its second set of tyres?

Mark122 · Sep 20, 2009

The tyres that were on it were worn abit so i got a new set in the deal.

Thanks for the comments.

Hi Mark. Nice work with the elbow grease. Just wondering what you used on the wheel nuts and calipers, as my set are really discoloured? It looks like you've resolved that issue, so advice would be appreciated

Nice cup, but damn, thats only a quick clean!?

I went on Thurdays to Renault to order Wind Deflectors and ended up ordering this lot.

Front Splitter, Cup Spoiler, Deflectors, Steering Wheel Trim for £395. Result.

When we opened the spoiler the finish was aweful... So craig pon'd some of the very bad bits and rubbed it to perfection and then it was primed. Due to it being fiberglass we couldnt bake it in the oven. It was left to dry over night and we we will paint it and fit it tomorrow.
