Fantastic car, great write up but not sure on the colour ha ha jokes.... love it

Love this. I'm having white coloured thoughts now - almost certain divorce but thinking it just might be worth it as this car looks stunning. A real credit to you.
For now I'm thinking of having my Turinis recoloured silver or perhaps swapping mine for a silver set. That'll keep me from getting murdered/kicked out/both lol.

Nice one @andy_coops ... Do it ! Whats the worst that can happen? Probably further hassle and debt but meh, one life and all that jazz lol

Fresh silver on Iceberg / Titanium would look good, but then again Anthracite looks great on Silver too? Good luck on the decision pal ha

Thanks a lot

Holy thread revival lol 😂

The Turini's are ET 38.5 which is what the 172 Cup's come with as standard but obviously mine is running spacers all round and 195/40 profile tyres.

Can’t believe you’ve not updated this with your epic new numberplates tbh... [emoji85]

Just read through most of this! Mega. Do you still have it, any updates if so?

Ha.. ! Thanks mate, I'll get them on when it warms up a bit :up:

Thanks @James172C yes I still have the Cup but it's hasn't been driven anywhere, also ran out of MOT so it's been taken off the road while I get some jobs sorted on it.

However the past 12 months have been busier than ever.. !

I will update when something changes lol

I did give it a clean a week or so ago, hadn't been touched since June 2017 :anguished:

That's all 🙈

So fresh

 

[Jamess182]

Surprised you didn't have people knocking you door down asking to buy it once you stopped driving it!

 

[182_steve]

That looks stunning in those new photos above!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

This car demonstrates just how wrong Renault were not to offer these in white!

 

[oVerboost.]

I love the Trophy models, but agree with the majority of people who say this should have been the Trophy colour back on the 182. Love these in white (almost as much as in LY lol )

Ha... ! Thanks @James172C it actually sat around looking filthy and unloved for a long time whilst I was (and still am) having some major building works going on. It's tucked away out of sight now though, and all my neighbours think I'm 'fixing it' all the time so would never be interested 😂

That looks stunning in those new photos above!

:blush: Thanks Steve - Was nice to see it clean and out in the sunshine again after all the bad weather we've had

Strange isn't it. I think they could of sold the Trophy in Red and White no issues. Like they did with the Cup in Blue and Silver.

However as mentioned earlier in the thread, they saved the colour for the best, the Cup racers :tonguewink:

 

[MrBlonde]

Those cup racers look the b****cks!! Any more photos of them?

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

White would have been great for the Cup, given its motorsport pretence. I do keep wondering about doing a white one.

 

[20vKarlos]

This is such a nice car! Now I want a Cup Racer!

Still love this car - I actually think I agree now it works better on the silver turinis..

Thanks @Daz. - It's all down to the pictures I think, different lighting etc, but in the flesh they really work against the white as long as they are kept clean.

Don't get me wrong, still loved the anthracite, but me and the wife's 5 previous Renault Sport's had anthracite or if they didn't we painted them, and needed a change. They work well on a Silver Megane Trophy though tbh

 

[MrBlonde]

The Silver Turninis are a great looking wheel if kept clean and sitting on the right tyres,looks great on the white @Chris_Beer im still going to get some 2118's i think later on in the year for mine but,in a bright silver and also keep my turninis.

That's a whole lot of awesome right there!! :fearscream::smile:

 

[pappasmurf]

So I've just spent the last few hours reading this from start to finish.
Love the attention to detail, very impressed with the work that's gone into it.
Has given me some much needed enthusiasm to get mine looking this fresh.

 

[Marc 182]

What an awesome car. Love every aspect of it.
A real credit to the owner!

 

[Marky_]

Those cup racers look the b****cks!! Any more photos of them?

Here's a bunch I have saved from here years ago
