Hello all, Selling my 172 Cup as I am going back to sea shortly and am looking to get an M3 or something when I come back. Here is the pistonheads advert to save me typing it all out again and adding pictures etc. Preferably reply through pistonheads as I check my emails much more regularly...

Hello, I have a 172 Cup '53 and have just ordered a centre section and need a backbox too. Please can someone advise me which one will fit my Cup - if it is any different than a 172. I no nothing about cars so please explain simply although should be fairly straightforward. I believe the one I...

Hi, I have a 53 plate 172 Cup. Recently my speedo has started to become a bit intermittent. I took it to a mechanic who said it is one of two things, either the instrument panel or a sensor located in the engine bay (he showed me but I know nothing about cars). Has anyone else had this...

Hello, just changed to a nice Sony head unit however it keeps sliding out? I'm 99% sure the wires at the back aren't restricting it from sitting in position correctly but it seems to just not want to click into position. The cage around the unit came with it, could it just not be compatible? Is...

Hi, Bought the 'sport' badge to replace the missing one on the boot of my 172 Cup but am wondering what the best way to put it on is. If anyone has done this before or something similar any advice would be appreciated! ​this is the current state of it: do I need to remove the previous...

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows what car my spare comes from and if it is worth anything, also if the tyre on it is any good? I am a complete noob unless you couldn't guess! Pictures: Thanks in advance

Quick question, I have a Kenwood head unit that has literally stopped working overnight?! I haven't changed anything (except put a smaller aerial on the car but sure this isn't the cause) but the head unit will no longer power up or play anything. I can provide more details of the unit and...

Got a 172 Cup but am missing the badge that says Sport under the word Renault. Does anyone know where I can get a standard Renault replacement one or does anyone have one spare? I can easily find chrome ones but that doesn't match and I don't want that want the standard one. Cheers in advance.

Got a 172 Cup and got a couple of questions. I have a £100 voucher for Halfords and I'm not really sure what to spend it on, any advice? I know Halfords is a bit w**k but I don't really want to spend it on cleaning stuff. I was looking to get an induction kit. Found a K&N one for about £140...

Hello :), One week ago I purchased a 172 Cup 53' plate for £1330, bit of a reduction from the £1850 asking price but this was due it needing belts done etc. My last car was a 1.4L Fiesta which I had for 3 years, needless to say this car is my new pride and joy. This was her in the advert: I...

Hi all, just got a new Kenwood head unit with a rather appealing blue glow to it. I was wondering if anyone has done a blue LED conversion for the speedo etc, if so is it easy to do or would I need to pay someone to do it? Cheers Sam

Saw it parked just off the campus my girlfriend is at uni there. Car needs a good clean ;).

Hi guys, Complete noob and need a bit of advice please. The gear knob markings on my MB 172 Cup have completely worn off and I want it back in the original look. What is the best way to do this? I heard the word inserts a few times and not really sure what these are/how to use them. Or is it...

Hey all, Have only had my 172 Cup for a few days now but noticed if you accelerate heavily in first or second the car will sometimes just pull of to the right or left (it changes) and significantly raise my heart rate! Is this due to it being a small car with a lot of power which I am not...

Hello all, today I have just purchased a lovely little 172 Cup and I am already in love. My very poor car history consists of a 1.4L 2002 Ford Fiesta in Burgundy, so as you can imagine this is a bit of a change! Went to my first track day at Brands Hatch a few days ago and was amazed by the...
