CUP or Standard?

Postby gawilliams1985 » Sun Apr 07, 2013 9:52 am

Hi all,

Complete newbie to the forum, looks like a great place for advice so thought I would start with a silly question! :?

I just privately bought a 225 and am chuffed to bits with it, I've been away from turbos too long having sold a Fiat coupe 20VT 4 years ago.

My question is: Is there any way of finding out whether my car is a CUP rather than standard as advertised? Seems to have a fairly hard ride and has the anthracite alloys?

Any pointers would be appreciated!

Thanks.

does it say cup on the b pillars
the wheels could have been put on by the last owner, or as an option from the factory

Thanks for your help! :-)

I've had a look and it is the standard 225.

Still, seems to handle pretty well in the bends!
