Apart from the better wheels on the cup, correct me if im wrong but the colours and front splitter. Also the cup has no aircon so the aux belt kit is wayy cheaper. But then if there is no difference then id go for what is the better looking one, the cup.
[Edited on 20-09-2010 by sc0ott]
my cup had aircon, there are a few out there with it. they also have a better rear spoiler.
Probably a buyers extra, but i really dont see the point in putting more luxuries in a car thats meant to be the 'lighter' version of the full fat model.
Is the interior more basic in the cup over the non cup 172s as well?

You are going to get a full on smack to the face if you carry on with your shit lately. I guess your credit cards are maxed out and now the realisation that you can't go and see your daughter has hit you.

I owned a 182 for a year or so. I wouldn't say 200bhp is achievable 'quite easy'. Without TB's you're looking at 190bhp max.

unless you have deep pockets then 200bhp is no where near achievable

I remember going on cliosport at some point last year and some dude had a full exahust system/de-cat/filter and remap done on his 182 and it RR'd 181bhp.

Pumas get more attention than you think. Every time i see one i expect some nice blonde chick in the driving seat.
