After writing off my Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup, I decided to buy another Cupra (having owned a MK3 Ibiza Cupra previously). It does have some knocking / twanging noises from the front wheels that I think maybe the cheap coilovers its on being rusty and slammed to hell!

Anyway I took ownership of this car on friday, and yesterday I decided to give it a quick wash and take a few snaps of it (it will be getting a full winter protection detail soon when I find the time!) :

right, thats it, i'm getting my wheels done cefore crimbo, can;t wait any longer since seeing these.
 
Looks lovely fella! I think i can see some curbage marks on the front wheels? That's the only thing with black wheels. Does look awesome though!
 
Cheers for the replies!

First thing ordered was some Rubbish Boys : Original Edition wax for some winter protection.

Then its a choice between : Another Cleanyourcar.co.uk order, or a stealth boost gauge + Forge 007p recirc.......
 
Looks just like mine mate :thumbup:

Whats the plans for it?

If you want any info have a look through my thread (link in sig vvvvv).
 
Damo - Unsure on plans yet, one of the first things I want to do its get the paint nice and swirl free, take the front bumper off and polish the FMIC up, and refurb the paint on the 4 pots, sad I know:lol:. Other than that, 007p, a decent boost gauge, KW or bilstein coilovers (Love KWs as I had them on my cup), maybe baffles for the exhaust of some sort:lol: - Forge TIP, a filter similar to yours and a fresh map :)
 
Quick update, I decided to replace the naff boost gauge with a stealth one (its not fitted yet as I have NO CLUE as to how to do this:lol:)

After :

Also unsure on the placment in the drivers side heater vent. I would like a pillar gauge pod but don't need the 2 slots they come with :(

Anyone in the mids that can help out a fellow SCN member fit this damned gauge? :lol:
