Clio 172 cup owner finally!

[Ant1]

Spent a lot of time trying to find a good base to work with.

One owner from new, 61k, been garaged it’s whole life, been stored In garage for past 4 years.

Couple of mods and stickers to remove and badges to put back on. Will need a airbox and I have the ecu cover.

Not great pics but everyone knows what a cup looks like ?

No more cars now, this is it.

I have a local village mot tester who I trust. To be fair most of mine are rebuilt underside wise so it’s never really a problem.

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Whats bolted to the rear of the driverside headlight??

 

[imprezaworks]

Dead loud horns?

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Yea my thoughts were it could be horn related but seemed odd to move them to the other side of the car.

 

[Ant1]

I haven’t driven a cup for many many years so can’t say just yet. Gear ratios are different and the car is lighter so it should feel more nimble. Other than that there really shouldn’t be much change.

Looks mint. How did you come across it out of interest?

 

[imprezaworks]

People ring him as default when selling a car.
