Megane 225 cup or not?

[DuncsGTi]

Hi all

I've just been to see a megane with a view to buying it but I'm not sure if its a cup or not?

What are the exterior differences? It is not advertised as a cup and has no decals, however, it has the anthracite wheels and wing mirrors, and has brembos.

While looking through the history folder, on some invoices it is referred to as a cup but on others it is not.
It has full leather and air con but IIRC these were available on the cup as options?

What other ways are there of checking?

Cheers

The brake calipers are silver brembos

Well, I bought it anyway, nothing on the V5 about it being a cup, however the DVLA aren't exactly the be all and end all of accuracy so it might still be.

I'll have a blast with the TC off tomorrow and see what happens.

Oh, did I mention, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

So, I tried turning of tc, went over 30 and it stayed off, does this mean it IS a cup despite the v5 having no record of it?

So, I've done a bit of digging, it is not a cup, however it has cup wheels, wing mirrors. The TC stays off over 30 same as the cup and it has drilled discs and Eibach springs as per cup spec.

Ive been in touch with Renault UK who are going to send me the original spec sheet for the car, but what they believe is that its a normal RS 225 with the Cup chassis option and the other cup goodies fitted as standard

All in all, i think I've got the best of both worlds, the cup chassis but with the added creature comforts like full leather and climate.

Tbh I've no idea, I've just done 330 miles at an indicated 82 leptons on the motorway and the computer tells me an average of 31 mpg if that helps?
