I picked up a Clio 172 Cup today. Whilst a little rough around the edges it has good bones - minimal rust and no accident damage. I fancied another 182, but the Cup feels a little more special, and should be a little easier to work on.
For those that don't know, the cup was a slightly stripped back version, with no abs, aircon, leather, xenons, washer jets, auto window wipers, but with thinner glass, a wider track and some small visual changes. Apparently around 89kg lighter than a non cup. Woo.
I need to do the major engine service of Cam & Aux belt, as well as give it a proper clean, and paint the wheels silver.
Has anyone has good results painting their own wheels? thinking in terms of longevity. Otherwise, who knows of a cheap powder coating service near east London?
