Wrong!

As this is a Ford forum I wouldn't expect you to know about the Clios though TBH

See here - http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadca...ge/clio172cup/

Bottom of the page Sales data and Colour Range Mine is one of 90 172 Cups made in Iceburg Silver, Infact its one of 33 as it has the climate control fitted. (PS: I work for Renault UK So I know what i got LOL)

Just to show a bit more -

Cup Interior



Cup Spoiler



I can see why you thought It was a 172 FF though as it "Was" missing its cup splitter. But thats now been replaced -
