Advice on new car cup model

  1. hi all
    Lookin at purchasing a 250 cup....
    Tomorrow
    Simply how can I tell it's actually a cup model with the diff ?
    I went out in it and it's handle like it's on rails !
     
  2. Depends

    Is it a true cup, or a cup packed 250?!

    Mine (real cups) have it on the vin sticker in the drivers door

    Basically red calipers tells you it's cupped, but these can obviously be painted.......
     
  3. Haven't got a clue....
    It has recaro seats with the rs monitor and red brake calipers..
    What should the vin have on it?
     
  4. Below the vin it should say something like

    New Megane coupe
    renaultsport megane 250 cup
    Then the VIN no

    That's what mine says and it's a 250 cup
     
  5. Thanks buddy
    Where is the vin on these ?
    Drivers door shut ?
     
  6. Red calipers, grooved discs, cup will have cloth interior, cup packed will be leather.
     
  7. Ok even more confusing.....
    All I need to know how do I identify if it has a diff apart from tearing around a back road on the test drive..
    The car I'm looking at has the following
    Red calipers
    Leather recaro seats
    Monitor
    Advertised as a cup car"
    Just want to be sure what I'm buying is actually what is says on the tin..
     
  8. Chap has taken a pic of the vin...
    Just states it's a Renault megane Renault sport 250?
     
  9. It might be a full fat
     
  10. Ok...
    Does that mean it will have a diff then ?
     
  11. There two main models, a more basic spec model called the cup, which has the red calipers, grooved disc, stiffer suspesion, lsd as standard, and the renault sport which had a better spec as standard ie leather, climate control etc, but doesnt have the 'cup pack' as standard but is a optional extra. Being as its got leather it will be what people nickname a full fat (the better spec one) with the optional cup pack which includes lsd and stiffer suspension agmonst other things
