ayup. Red break callipers i believe!

red callipers - Cup
silver - not

(i think)

I have a ff with cup chassis! And all what I've seen on here to know at a look is black alloys and red callipers! But some have a black stripe down the door also! Guess just ask the dealer is best bet!

 

[p060064h]

Thats what I thought and the one im getting has red calipers but the last owner could of painted them so I need another way of confirming.
Would it be on the V5 ?

There are bands on the springs and struts. I'm not familiar with which colours represent which though

 

[shotgunsjay]

No air con, basic interior, black door inserts

Full fat with cup chassis, red calipers is the way to tell

 

[kash]

Cup packed cars also have grey wheels and non cups have silver

 

[p060064h]

It also has grey wheels this is another reason i think its a FF with cup pack, but the dealer was adamant its not a cup.

More help please.

As I said above - the springs and struts are what you need to be looking at. Assuming they've not been changed it will also have a quicker rack.

To be sure you can check the colour coding on the springs –orange & blue front and rear on the cup, blue & green front and orange & orange on the rear on the standard chassis car.

Ok great i will have a look soon as i pick it up.

Fanks alot.

 

[Jayse87]

Won't be on v5 check the springs as others have said but hope all goes well

The dealer might be saying its no a cup, because its not a full on clio cup, it might be the full fat with cup pack.

Most of the give aways have been listed, you got any pics?

 

[Foxspeed]

a normal key = a cup 197/200

ie cheap dash no air-con black door handles and rubbing strip etc

 

[p060064h]

No pics not picking it up till Monday but as stated red calipers and grey wheels.
Hope its a cup.

Link to advert?

As above and I'll add no push button start. On a 197, the cup has body coloured B pillars

 

[ken182]

Don't proper cups have the sticker inside the door to say renaultsport 197/200 cup?

Be full fat just says renaultsport clio 197/200 or something but proper cups actually state its a cup.


also red calipers, grey wheels no black b pillar on 197 and a key instead of a card as stated by other people.


also shocks will have an leave sticker if they're cup

Nope i saw it on the forecourt when my other car was in for a service. It had only been on sale a few hours that day.

I've just been out to take this pic for you on my FF Cup...it needs a clean!!

Full-lock the steering, get on your knees and look up. Should see blue and yellow spots on the spring for Cup suspension. Easiest way to check.
