Im in your exact position now, but i currently have a 1.4RT. :(. I want a cup but the cheapest insurance quote i got was £1700 and i dont wana pay that much so if you want a cup wait til your 21, or save til your 20 if your prepared to pay that much.

Try elephant they quoted me £1700 @ 20.

Hi there matey, nice to see your car matches the colour of your house. Nice touch! haha Welcome :D

13" wide. Bloody hell they are big. :o If you mean 13" diameter, isnt that what they come with as standard? i thought it was.

Have a look on eurocarparts website they do a small subtle one, i bought one from them bout a year ago £75ish i think.

Mine is also a 96 N phase 3. And yes its definatly a phase 3! :D

Evening matey and welcome to the club. :D

No it cant i dont think if you loose your key, that is the backup method.

Hello there matey, WELCOME Ok then the button on the end of the wiper stalk is used to de-activate the imobiliser if you know the code. You need to do a series of button presses along with a series of presses on the accelarator this code should have been with the original paperwork for the car...

I saw a thread on RSC and decided to have a nose.

Thats my point mate, i was being sarcastic. They are cheaper brand new!

Went looking for a car yesterday up to birmingham so thought we would go in to Carcraft, one of those car supermarkets as we were near there. Well what can i say, bloody bargain place they had a 03 plate 172 with 6k on the clock for only £12,995 or £17,800on finance. I was so very tempted...

You spelt it wrong mate, only 1 o ! HAHA only kidding matey :D You want to get yourself a 1.4RT, only group 5 insurance and pretty good performance. You should get a good low miler for 2.5k. Easy to get looking sweet with only a few mods. Oh and finally, WELCOME

Ok i see peolpe saying they are good but they say to ask for Phil, do you have to speak to this bloke or can all of their people give you a good quote? If its best to speak to Phil, do you wait to go to the reception/switchboard or ask the opperator you get connected to? (sorry for the Q but...

Got any pics of your car MAXIBOY? would be nice to see.

Yeah mines the same. Dont worry, my oil levels done seem to go down so im not going to waste money fixing something thats isnt realy broken.

:D

You say you have the policy number but if i were you i would ring up and make a general enquiry about the policy. Same something about changing heels or sumut to make sure the policy you have is still valid. If it is then play dumb and be rich!!!!

Hehe and me, i tried explaining to my mum what it was but she is still none the wiser. :p

Only one word for you, but i dont think the filter will let it through! ;) Happy driving matey. Phil (not at all jelous)

Well i know most of the diferences but i was refering to the actual driving of the car. Which has been pointed out by TB11!!

Yeah insurace will be about £1700 on either. Im thinking 172 aswell as i want a red one. also the comforts of a/c and abs will be nice.

The roads are fine where i live, well actually they are just perfect. Problem is i have not got a 172 or cup :p

Mmmm well thats the question really. Ive decided that i am going to get a nice new clio. Well not quite new but a 02 plate. The main problem is i will be 20 this wednesday so the insurance will be a f**ker but hey, it worth it. What im wandering is what are the main differences in the cup and...

It isnt always best to go for a low mileage one as you may have to do alot of repairs around 60k-70k if you get one one 80kish then the majors jobs should have been done. But whatever mileage make sure you have a folder of history.

and for a final time!

Try http://www.elephant.co.ukwww.elephant.co.uk for insurance they are very good if your young. Also have a look at the saxo VTS, as someone said you can get a new shape one (w or X reg) for £6k with low mileage.

PMSL but you shouldnt insult the newbies ;) Oh, HELLO and WELCOME by the way.

I agree go for one. I have had mine for 2 years now, its my first car and it has been very reliable. Fairly nippy for a little 1.4 and very good for a first car. Ive left mine standard as it look good as it is and im saving for another car. But they can be easily modded with alloys and...

Im not to sure, I like the idea of the performance of the VTS but as someone said the clio is more refined. The price of them might have to be the deciding factor as you can get a W-Y reg new shape saxo with 25kish on the clock for about £5k. Whereas the clios seem much dearer second hand seeing...
