Welcome to Cliosport

Is this Mark's old car?

 

[Englebert]

You don't hang around do you!

Welcome to CS. Make sure you check with your insurance company before doing mods as a lot of them won't let you make them unless you're 21.

Cheers.

Hi Craig, i'm glad you like the car I miss it already it sounds like its being well looked after. 45mpg is good going
I can't see the pics??
I was very impressed by your dad's car it looked spot on. Did you sort that boot out in the end?

 

[Mark_Petty]

[b3ns0n]

b3ns0n whats your 172 look like?

Heh, haven't got one. Driving a s**t-hot 1.2 8v punto. Yeah baby.

Hoping for a 205GTi around about september and then a 172/182 in a couple of years.... but I'm trying to convince the parents to get a 172 cup and shove me on the insurance... hence the forum membership

Cheers, 1600 doesn't sound too bad. Who with?

Those wheels are gonna look nice I'll keep an eye out for you.

Weclome to CS.

Nice car..I also have an iceberg silver 172 and am very happy with it so far.

I would never pay £1600 on insurance though...the performance is good but not that good.

You'd collapse if you knew what I'm paying on a 1.2 punto then! (insured fully comp at 17, best deal by quite a way).. £1800 Robbing b******s.
