Ok thanks Neil, the hunt for reasonable car insurance continues. Being 23, 6pts (2003), modified 172 cup and student isn't helping much!!

Oh Neil is it true that Greenlight don't insure 172 cups, thats what they told me after an online application. Due to bad claims history.

Yeah i used to get back ache after long drives with my cheapo cup seats, loads better with the buckets. Those CG locks are supposed to help reduce slouching with std seat belts, but never used one. Get some 6 point race harneses, you wont be slouching with them!

Yeah i think ther magnex has a 2.5" bore but it isn't too loud around town and at low revs. The magnex systems seem to be quite deep but I like the way it sound during spirited driving, but the induction kit makes a fair bit of noise to, so whenever you put your foot down it growls! However it...

Cool, nice choice of mods. I was looking at getting a remap but had to stop modifying it now as I'm back at uni full time so dont have enough spare cash to throw at it. Boooooo. Never mind goes quick enough and sounds good so cannot really complain!

I like the wheels.

Yeah its a nice little stretch of road. your car looked good to, like the Monaco blue, don't see many of them. Im based in Farnsfield so use that road quite a lot. As for mods got a cat-back magnex, BMC CDA with CAF through front fog light, K-tec Carbon fibre front splitter, Corbeau Forza seats...

Ha Ha, yeah that was me, I had to keep lifting off a little bit so I wasn't up your ar$e! :rasp:

Don't understand why so many people at the moment think their 172s are slow, mine still feels rapid after 18month of spirited driving.

:lolup:

Greenlight told me they wont insure 172 cups as they have a bad claims history!

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows roughly how many 172 cups are left on the roads, since so many have been crashed over the last few years. Cheers

I hit a partridge at 60 mph, umm nice dent in the bonnet, think it was clio 1 - partridge 0 though!

you used Jack Daniels to clean your car, ha ha sorry

No no-one spotted me yet either. Its rubbish i see loads of clio every day, but no one waves, where's the love?

My bum huggers. Corbeau Forza Sport seats with Sabelts. So much better to drive

I think they insist you have to stay on the same tariff for the first 12 months, if your on an 18 month contract. I managed to blag half price for the first 12 months as they seem expensive normally. whatever they say on the phone there is always room to barter so give them hell.

They normally recommend you start at 25 shot as you can upgrade quite easily. Make sure you get a wet kit, so that if fuels it sufficiently as other lean = bang. Probably looking about £1000 + but cheap to upgrade to 50 shot after that!

First and last look cool, Dont get the TSW Venom look-a-likes they're rubbish. I would probably go for the first ones, purely because i like a good lip on a wheel. But of course Turinis are the best, ?Biased

I HATE YOU!! HaHA to not really but i want one of those, it is beautiful

i really dont like them, but each to their own!

I would stay clear of racing police cars! SORRY!

That does look sweet Adamio, you can just see mine in this picture, went for the subtle approach! think this link will work http://www.cliosport.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=15973&d=1169411973

Those thing on the wiper are little spooilers, to aid air flow and press the wipers onto the windscreen better at speed. erm i think lol

perhaps she missed a 1 off at the start

cheers everyone, yeah the seats are sweet, quite comfortable for buckets as well and a good bit lower driving position.

Cant have it lowered as the speed bumps at uni are absolutely massive and to be honest the std car handles really well, decat however is a definate maybe!

Harnesses are the clip-in ones, with the eye hooks used to mount the rear seatbelts at the bottom, if that makes sense.

Thought as everyone else was doing it i would share some pics of my baby, Pictures taken on my phone so not brilliant quality!

Its nice, but its a little erm 4x4 style on the ground clearance - sorry - but it will look cool once its lowered. You are going to lower it aren't you!
