Description

• This Renaultsport Clio 172 Cup is an eye-catching ‘OEM+’ example fitted with a few choice high-performance modifications.
• An appreciating modern classic powered by a naturally aspirated 2. 0-litre inline-four, driving the front wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.
• A unique opportunity to own a collector quality example which is as suited to a showroom as it is a track day!
• The odometer shows 91, 502 miles.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
• Based on the standard Clio 172, the ‘Cup’ model featured lowered and stiffened suspension, unique alloy wheels, a revised front splitter, rear spoiler, thinner window glass, and reduced soundproofing.
• This example is finished in Mondial Blue, over a modified interior featuring black and grey Corbeau ClubSport bucket seats, Sabelt harnesses, an aftermarket gear knob, a Sabelt three-spoke steering wheel with 12 o’clock marker, and a partial bolt-in roll cage.
• It rides on recently refurbished 16-inch Speedline Turini wheels, wrapped with almost new Hankook Ventus Prime 3 tyres.
• Modifications include advancing the engine timing to ‘Group N’ spec by RS Tuning, a custom air intake, a Clio 182 exhaust manifold, ported and polished inlets, a Direnza alloy radiator, a Whiteline Performance rear anti-roll bar, AW Motorsport HT leads, Pure Motorsport top mounts, Cooksport springs with OEM Cup dampers, an uprated dog bone mount, Powerflex rear axle bushes, and a K-Tec Racing Stealth exhaust system with a sports catalyst.
• A dynograph printout from RS Tuning shows 189. 5hp at the flywheel at the time of tuning.
• The original rear bench seat has been removed, so there are no back seats.
• Stopping power comes from Brembo High Carbon brake discs with Carbon Lorraine RC5+ pads.
• Accompanying the vehicle will be the original owner’s manuals, the V5C, 2 keys and a collection of invoices and MOT test certificates.

CONDITION
• Please refer to the photos to assess the exterior and interior condition.
• A full PDR (paintless dent repair) treatment was carried out in 2024, so there are no dings in the finish;
• The bonnet and front bumper are lightly stone chipped, with a couple of heavier imperfections on the bumper; the rear bumper has been freshly resprayed.
• The common issue of corrosion around the rear arches and fuel filler flap are clean and rust free.
• There is some general age related wear and tear to the interior plastics.
• Overall this is a very clean usable example for its year and mileage and has clearly been cared for in its 21 years.
• The most recent MOT test was conducted on 18 October 2024 at 91, 469 miles, which was a first-time pass with no advisories.
• New genuine Renault carpet mats were fitted 30/ 11/ 23
• The front brake calipers have been recently painted
