Why Are Cup 172 Side Badges So F***in Exspencive On Ebay When You Can Get Them From Renault For Less Than A Tenner Each . Them Ebay Sellers Should Be Called Dick Turpin . Robbin C***t's

Cam · Nov 23, 2005

wheres the parts list from renault??? is there a website?

cat171 · Nov 23, 2005

prob because most people will think that the price on ebay is cheaper than what renault charge for them.

Day · Nov 23, 2005

£10 from renault?

Good luck - not available anymore I've been told.

Tim · Nov 23, 2005

Yes Got Some Last Week Fellas . Still Available

Cam · Nov 23, 2005

greenfingers was that the dealer in Chester?

Tim · Nov 23, 2005

Part No 7711291177 .

Tim · Nov 23, 2005

Yeah Fella . How Did You Like Sunday

Cam · Nov 23, 2005

Was good, enjoyed the drive down. Shame it was a bit cold but a good meet all the same. What did you think???

Tim · Nov 23, 2005

9.40 Each Still Cheaper Than Ebay

unofficialPete · Nov 23, 2005

..because people who don't own 172's will look on ebay..

Tim · Nov 23, 2005

Yeah But If You Dont Own A 172 Why Look On Ebay For Cup Badges . ???

unofficialPete · Nov 23, 2005

ahhh cup ones, I was thinking along the lines of people adding 2.0 to their 1.2's, well if people are willing to pay they'll be willing to charge

yeecup · Nov 23, 2005

i sold 2 on e bay 2 weeks ago for £29 plus postage. i call it good business.

Tim · Nov 23, 2005

Yeah Guy Tried To Sell Me Two For 29 Quid And Then Wanted Me To Pay A Fiver For Postage . Why Pay That When It Only Cost About 80 Pence To Drive To Renault And Collect Em .

Do you know what the part number for the 182 CUP badges???

Tim · Nov 23, 2005

Nah Sorry Fella Sure You Can Get It If You Phone Up . And When You Go Down There Check Out The Service Desk Hotties . Ding Dong Some Big T****e's

Cam · Nov 23, 2005

Ive seen them, been back 5 times since i bought the car!!! Saw one of them in the pub near me and she was pretty hot.

Nafeun · Nov 24, 2005

lol What garage in chester is this?

CupJonny · Nov 24, 2005

Is this the Renault dealer on Sealand Rd. across from the park and ride thing?
Was gonna go there at lunchtime today and get some bits for the 172 Cup that I bought yesterday, any ideas on what I might need?
Also, as you boys are the experts, will putting normal unleaded in the Cup have any adverse effects on the engine? Do I really have to put bl**dy Optimax and the like in?
Cheers fellas

Ads_172 · Nov 24, 2005

That's a whole new kettle of fish mate, lots of debates!

Do a search on the topic and you'll find a few opinions.

CupJonny · Nov 24, 2005

Ah right. Guess it's a bit of a "can of worms" then. Problem is, for every ten opinions saying normal unleaded, you can almost guarantee they'll be ten saying Optimax! Maybe it's just one of life's little mysteries then!

CupJonny · Nov 24, 2005

Suppose I'll just try both and see what happens

Gareth · Nov 24, 2005

i can confirm they do have some big t*ties at Chester dealership, waiting for the car when having warranty work done was GREAT

CHRIS172CUP · Nov 24, 2005

Mine have come off but not gonna replace them, think they look a bit crap...not as bad as the 182 cup badges though.

Tim · Nov 24, 2005

yeah on the petrol thing it's up to you if you got the extra cash then get it , i have used the optimax and you do notice a difference when idling alot smoother . and yes they are top heavy lovllies them service desk chicks . suppose if you go in there all mad and then you see them you soon chill out . ha ha

Lagerlout · Nov 24, 2005

I remember when they were £2.50. lol. I used the '172' bit for my car- came off after about a month. :dapprove:

And Greenfingers Is There Something Wrong With Your Keyboard?

Tim · Nov 24, 2005

nah why you ask

CupJonny · Nov 24, 2005

Just nipping down the dealership now so wish me luck!

lol... you've stopped doing it now, but all your earlier posts were written With Capital Letters At The Start Of Each Word. I'm sad to have even commented. lol

Tim · Nov 24, 2005

good luck fella . don't forget to check them out lol

Tim · Nov 24, 2005

sorry bout that just did it for you so you could read the words DO YOUNEED ME TO STOP NOW . LOL

Mondial172 · Nov 24, 2005

I bought 3 off Mike when they were a couple of quid.

CupJonny · Nov 24, 2005

Just to report back. The only bird I saw in there was pregnant so unless one of you lads has already had your wicked way with one of the hot ones and got her up the duff, then I guess I went on the wrong day.
Luckily I live aboout a minute up the road so I'm hoping to develop some problems with the cup resulting in repeated visits back!

Tim · Nov 25, 2005

ha ha . nice one fella
