My 172 Cup

[jimbo06]

Well after a couple of months of wanting a 172 cup i finally saved up enough i needed to get a good one and im proud to say that last weekend i finally purchased one. It was a sad day for me when the VTS went but im loving every minute of the clio .

The car itself is a 2002 mondial blue cup with only 35k on and just one previous owner! Its Pretty much bog standard apart from some sort of stealth exhaust (im not sure on the make but i do know its not a btb or a ktec so probably a custom). I have lots of plans for it but at the min i want to sort out one or two niggles such as getting the belts done, trimming a small nick in the drivers seat, and ideally refurbing one (or maybe all) of the turini's as one is slighty curbed.

Anyway after spending the whole weekend enjoying her or being in a petrol station lol i spent yesterday giving it a quick clean inside and out then headed off for a few pics, sorry about the quality of these it was getting dark and was freezing so i'll get some better ones in the next couple of days (I will also be giving the car a full detail within the next week or two to bring the paintwork up to scratch)

Pics:













Thanks for looking!

About time you got some photo's up, It's a bit weird since you took the photo's in the same location as your VTS and It's virtually the same colour.

It's like you've moulded your VTS into a 172 cup ha!

Very good mate, thanks for the run out in it, it's by far the quickest standard 172 I've been out in.

Very tidy example Jimbo needs some clean fresh number plates your saxo was ND52 and your clio is ND52 what a coincidence i'm sure you will make it your own soon enough

[Predator_R32p]

looks good jimbop was gonna say about side indicators too, what t he hell are they lol

[leeroybrown]

Yeah I will pal

The belts are cheaper to do on the cup's as it doesnt have air con, think its about 400 quid

[jimbo06]

Thanks pred

Yeah lee chris was sayin they are a bit cheaper to do because of the lack of air con, my pockets are gonna be well and truely empty after that little lot is done lol

Fresh is good as i say get a carbon front splitter that would look nice what colour you doing Turini's maybe Anthracite or a fresh silver?
