So went and swapped the Mazda after a grand total of 2 WEEKS for this...
Its a Clio 197 Cup and heres what the showroom had to say about it....
2008/08 RENAULT CLIO 197 CUP EDITION IN BRIGHT GLACIER WHITE, VERY SOUGHT AFTER COLOUR
COVERING ONLY 23K MILES WITH FULL SERVICE HISTORY, THIS CAR HAS BEEN CHERISHED BY ITS PREVIOUS MATURE OWNER AND ALWAYS BEEN TREATED TO THE BEST CLEANING PRODUCTS
THE CAR IS IN SHOWROOM CONDITION INSIDE AND OUT AND DRIVES BEAUTIFULLY WITH ITS 197BHP ENGINE AND 6 SPEED GEARBOX
THE CUP VERSIONS CONSISTS OF:
GLOSS BLACK SPEEDLINE ALLOY HEELS UNMARKED
ENHANCED CUP SUSPENSION PACKAGE INC DAMPERS AND SPRINGS
STRIPPED AND TINY BIT LIGHTER
STANDARD FEATURES INC:
ABS
ESP
6 SPEED
BREMBOS
197BHP
CD PLAYER
ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND MIRRORS
TRIP COMPUTER
SPORTS SUSPENSION
SPORTS RENAULT SEATS
FRONT FOGLIGHTS
ALLOY WHEELS
AND MUCH MORE
Much easier to do that than write it out haha,
Plans for the moment are not much at all, but I always do a progress thread, so thought i would for the new car:
- Bilstein Suspension Set-up (If I feel the need after a couple of track days)
- Renaultsport Spoiler
- Carbon Front & Rear Badges, Side Bullets, Wing Mirror Covers
- Milltek Full Stainless Exhaust System
- Flocked Dash
- Renaultsport Carbon Steering Wheel Insert
- Alpine Bluetooth Headunit & Uprated Front Comps
And that should see me done really on with the pictures...

Cup means lighter, better suspension, brembos, better steering more of a tracky car
Haha I know Andy, more cars haha, rx8 was costing too much in petrol but I like this ALOT more anyways
Cheers Mate

Pretty much but yeh, more track focused with a quicker rack etc. no a/c etc..CUP chassis can be identified by the red calipers and darker wheels.
I had a cup and it missed the recaros imo. Worthwhile upgrade if you can afford it.

Red calipers.... not really just red calipers are they
This has A/C as an option too
Not sure about recaros, would rather a set of lighter weight recliners. Same as the VXR Recaros, nice seats, but SO heavy!
