Your on crack to pay £5.4k a year to insure a clio ffs !!!
I like mine as it was cheap to buy, cheap to run and a fun little car with nice looks, interior and a good spec ;)
also if needed at a push you can fit the kids in it and the shopping :)
phone up a local authority they might have an mot station and not carry out any repairs like where i work so you will get a genuine mot as they are not looking for the work ;)
If your miles to empty is just flashing ---- even after filling up the tank just do this
With ignition off hold the computer button on the end of the washer stalk, while holding it turn ignition on...
The dials will go mad and so will the little screen
Then while still holding down the stalk...
yep i'm with direct line too ;)never had a problem with them
but mine has all the details on the v5 but has a note that it has been registered over sea's
just run a quote as a 182 then when you phone up they just need to enter the vehicle make and model manually... my focus was like this i have never had problems with insurance just told them the reg then they just asked what it was engine size etc.... makes no difference at all !!
Decent brakes and tyres standard issue....
The first thing to do with any new purchase before even thinking of mods is a good service and health check make sure bushes suspension etc... Is all as it should be then spend money on mods!!!
After all it is down to personal choice I wouldn't ask...
Standard is beautiful ;) lol
Me I would get it sitting nicely, get some stance with spacers and enjoy!!
I would even leave it on standard rims ;)
Then save for a faster car
you can get a bit more power out of that engine matey... remap with 110bhp injectors will see 135 ish bhp... different turbo and intercooler 150 ish ;)
i think on a 1.2 its ok as you not really going for handling etc... you wanna be low and slow !!!
get some coilovers on it and enjoy... you may need a new spine after tho ;)
at the end of the day its your car if you like it thats all that matters !!!
