Clio 172 Cup

[exigepete]

Hello all, bought this a month a go to replace my old 1.2 Clio, best £2200 I have ever spent!

[rossw46]

Looks good!

You got her for a really good price it seems,how many miles if you dont mind me asking?

Im considering one of these in the next few months...

[exigepete]

78K, took a bit of finding, was the fourth I looked at, worth the hassle though!

[rossw46]

Thats good bang for your buck!

Planning any mods?

[exigepete]

Not really, totally standard which is what I wanted. Just gonna get the wheels refurbed.

[rossw46]

Well enjoy!

It is unbelievable how so much car can be had for that price.

Have the belts been done on it? They're due if not

[exigepete]

Yep cambelt, aux belt, rear springs and rear shocks all done 2000 miles ago. Another reason I bought it!

[MagicalTrevor]

Nicely done! I'd love a 172 Cup.

I'd personally recommend some Ferodo DS2500 pads, Brembo HC Discs, braided hoses and some decent fluid. Stops sloop nicely now

[exigepete]

It has good discs and pads all round at the moment, but will upgrade slightly when time for renewal. Bang for buck its unbeatable!

Very nice. You'll fall in love, repeatedly.

I'll be looking into those brake-upgrades for my 182 I think. Stopping power is wafty, at best. SPONGE PEDAL!

Nice, bargain price too!

I've still got mine after 18 months because I love it too much

[exigepete]

Some people knock them, but I'm pretty sure that's because they haven't driven one! My other car is a 911 GT3RS, but I never look down on the Clio!

[Defcon5]

Brilliant car for that price.
