[lewisniven]

looking awesome.

i ahve my own plan for a white 172 cup, with some other bits in different colours, keeping shtum till i can afford to have it done tho, lol.

 

[Timmay]

amazing work!

 

[Neil G]

Looking good

Look forward to seeing the finished car

 

[Leeshez]

Wow stunning.

 

[tommyboy]

coming along nicely

 

[Ulle]

The look i'm going for will be visually as close to this as I can:

Where did you get that picture from ???

I am asking because I can see that the car is in the Danish Clio Cup-series. The number plate on the trailer is danish and "Slagelse" thats says on the van in the background is a danish city 30 km from me.

 

[DH_GTI]

cool nice progress !!!

 

[RichF]

Looking good

 

[Peperami]

They're hard to get hold of cheaper :dapprove:

Rich, most of the cup racers run painted cup rear spoilers mate...

 

[Rich_16v]

I saved the pic a couple of years ago can't remember where from

I'd have a Cup spoiler if they came in unpainted orange peel finish plastic but they don't. I may get one in time but I like the contrast between the black unpainted and the white... its kind of back to basics and I think it works

 

[JR]

any more pics from todays efforts bud ?

 

[Rich_16v]

I've been out most of the day quad biking... great fun!

I only really did all the internal plastics / doorcards etc so no real visual change to report today

 

[Christopher]

i can't wait to see the front with that bumper and splitter on!!

 

[dannyboy172]

Update please

 

[Rich_16v]

Well its been pi55ing it down for most of the day so not done much

I've got the rear bumper on and all the internal plastics and grommits finished

Think i'll get the new shape Renaultsport badge for the bootlid to break it up abit

Went to renault to pick up a 182 exhaust tailpipe trim to add to the white/black theme

Put a pair of fresh/plain number plates on since my reg documents came through

So far...

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Class!

This getting a roll cage too?

 

[Josh@Renparts]

if your making it a true cup racer look alike... surely just go for the standard rear badge...

 

[Rich_16v]

I'll think about a white half cage for the back as it will help the overall 'look' but i've been there before and they're a pain in the arse at times

 

[GarethM]

looking sweet rich

 

[cat171]

Agreed - plus some boot pins too

 

[leighk18]

The look i'm going for will be visually as close to this as I can:

you should have gone for the same idea on the boot lock and get some boot pins hehe :rasp: looking good mate

 

[cat171]

I wonder where you just got that idea from.

 

[Rich_16v]

you should have gone for the same idea on the boot lock and get some boot pins hehe :rasp: looking good mate

I'll get an unpainted boot lock surround when I see one but they're rare as they only come like that on vans, i didn't want to paint it black as it would be glossy and all the other black plastics are unpainted so i went for white for the time being

 

[dannyboy172]

Very nice mate - t'is all coming together nicely

arhhh fair play then mate is looking very nice

cat172: haha ya i just like the idea

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Just noticed something else about the cup racer..

yours losing the rear wiper too?

 

[rustybolt]

getting there rich, although if you dont replicate the cup picture with its cage, boot pins etc i think itll just be a nice clio thats it.

That cup looks superb and yours could be for just that little extra push in the styling departmant. You've started it so might as well go for it now.

Its going to look amazing if you do

Few pics here, may be of use!

 

[daveyeuro]

Looking good feller

Vectra ST200 eh? I love them cars

 

[Rich_16v]

Got it lowered today along with the wheels

What a difference wheels make to any car but this proves the point more than most

Just got to fit the front bumper tonight then its near enough done

Some progress pics from during the day:

 

[Peperami]

Whats that lowered on fella?

Are the badges going back on the bootlid?

 

[GarethM]

p**n

nearly done

the wheels make a hell of a difference

 

[RichF]

Spot on, white looks very good.

 

[Rich_16v]

Whats that lowered on fella?

Are the badges going back on the bootlid?

Just apex springs for now it should settle more than shown in the pics it just hasn't moved yet. Coilovers are to come but i've spent enough on the car for the time being

Not sure on the badges, i'll leave it how it is for a while then decide what to do
