Cheers guys, it’s getting there.

Few jobs done on the cup... Used gtechnic trim restorer on the plastics, which came up great. Also removed the front bumper to fit a pair of new headlights, and fit a Skoda splitter as well. Much better! During: After:

I think the photo in the advert was the original Cup wheel. I bought a non cup wheel for Snappy to retrim and have the original in the garage.

Thanks! Yes I did. It was a dodgy non genuine brake light switch. It worked in that the bulbs came on, but the esp was getting the signal either too early or too late. Fitted an oe one and that fixed it. Phew!

Bit of an update on the Cup. I finished the wheels and put the H&Rs on. The car looks much better, but they are right on the limit of harshness for me. I even considered taking them back off before I got used to them. I’ve also fitted a new set of Michelin’s to the wheels, and they helped the...

Just found that the first owner was a Clio sport member, and sold it to the second owner who was also on here. Found the advert when the second owner sold it on: Old Advert

Don’t worry everyone, the stripes are staying! They were on from factory, and I like them too! I read loads and loads of threads on here about lowering springs, and the H&Rs seemed to have the best reviews, so I’ve ordered a set. 😁

Bit of an update for those that are interested... The major service is done, along with front discs and pads and a pair of OE track rod ends. I've also bought a cheap set of Turini's and I'm part way through refurbing them. Going Anthracite, but did consider white. I've also had my steering...

I’ve also replaced the gear knob, heater control panel and fitted the Renault Sport carpet mats: It’s starting to get to where I want it to be now! Jobs still to be done: Major service Diagnose abs, traction control and service lights coming on (code indicates an internal pump fault) Buy...

A whole day was spent wet vacuuming the interior and steam cleaning the seat belts which were absolutely minging! ?? Unfortunately no photos of this task either, but that maybe just as well! I also followed a suggestion on the forum to soak the radio screen surround in dettol to remove the...

The car was pretty good mechanically (or so I thought) but was quite rough cosmetically. First job to be completed was the parking dents taken out by a painless dent removal guy. Unfortunately I have no photos of this. Next was a replacement parcel shelf: Then, some silvervision bulbs and...

It has been suggested that a project thread on my recently acquired 182 Cup might be well received and would provide me with a reminder of the journey of getting the car back up together... Found on Facebook, I purchased the car from a guy in Glastonbury, nice and local to me. I was looking...

No probs. I’m late for everything, so a 6 year turn around isn’t too bad in all honesty! ? The work has started. Spent all day cleaning the car today. The inside was fairly gopping! Not sure if the car calls for a project thread though? I think I’m doing the same things every 1*2 owner is doing!

Hi (again)! ? Back in the Clio fold having just bought another 182 Cup. Started my Clio affair when I bought a 172 Cup brand new back in 2003, then a 182 Cup and ph1 vee and a ph1 172 I bought and built into a tarmac rally car. Back once again with an 05 reg RB purchased yesterday. It’s a bit...
