I dont understand how you lot have never been asked. Every time Ive taken out insurance they send a self addressed envelope with the policy in which I have to send my renewal from my previous insurer to show proof of NCB. Maybe they are only really bothered if you have full and want to...

Yup, standard factory fitted one.

Anyone with a blue 172/182 live in Whitnash and like cleaning their Clio? One of the lads I work with reckons they must be a member of CS due to the amount of time and effort they put into cleaning it.

f**k that reminds me mine is due this month. Not had a reminder yet. Ill just bang six months on it this time.

I dont subscribe to Evo, but do buy it each month. Ive got the April 2001 issue under my desk when they had the first Magnex fitted to there long term 172.

Wait til Roy Munson logs on hell have plenty of his. Tomboy has a load of hers but isnt on so often.

Booting it past a bus on the slip road down from 5 Ways Island onto the Hagley Road about 2 minutes ago!!

I drive through Handsworth in Birmingham, I want an armoured car!

I had a 172 from Motorpoint. When I traded it in I got £1k less for it than if it had been a UK car. It had no alarm, security etching or locking wheel nuts. Motorpoint had an alarm fitted for me. As for warranty, see this letter: http://www.leemather.plus.com/stuff/rw.jpgLink

They refused my mate too. 30 years old with a standard Impreza Turbo 2000 on a T plate which hes had from new. God knows why they took me with 6 points!! I do have Full NCB though. My car is standard, garaged and covered for 16k miles a year.

Im with them at the moment. They are the sister company to esure and are a Halifax and Bank of Scotland company. I wont go with small insurance companies. esure wont touch me, but FA quoted me better than anyone else I tried. £100 less than last year and I have 3 more points. A guy...

Ive been extremely impressed with them on both road and track. They are 205/45/16 on the 182 though. £120 a tyre. See if theyll go cheaper though. When I had a 172 I replaced all 4 with Eagle F1 GS-D3 for £72.50 a tyre.

They will cancel the cover if they dont receive proof within a set time period. Mine once got lost under a pile of paperwork and they blamed me, then someone found it on there desk. I was very worried as Id not been insured on a private car for over 2 years so that was my only proof.

You have to send them proof of no claims from your previous insurer. This is usually your renewal notice. Dont even consider doing that.

Red is a good sporty colour. You see a lot less red cars on the road today compared to ten years ago. I used to be able to look out the office window and see 75% of the cars on the car park below were red. Now its all silver and dark blues and greens.

Ive noticed the Silver Renault diamond on mine is looking a bit f**ked too. You have to look closely though so Im not really that bothered.

You cant get them as an extra from Renault, only in a new car. If you were to buy them from Recaro you would just need to sort out the airbag warning light and wiring, other than that you wouldnt have any problems.

I drove the Megane Trophy at Brands a week last Friday. Very nice car, certainly quick though too quite to be able to tell what the engine was doing. Felt a lot like a large Clio only with less steering feel. I was very impressed with it.

They are £550 extra in the 182, £850 in the 182 Cup. Or from Recaro Direct: http://www.recaro-seats.co.uk/order.asp?Page=/sports.asp&section=1&subsection=1&Price=0&Start=1&Keyword=&SearchDescription=&ListMake=&ListModel=&product=65Link A lot more.

I remember doing that. They were very close, but I think yours was more metallic where the 172 was more pearlescent. That looks the best Ive seen it yet mate. Spot on choice of colour for those wheels.:D

Quote: Originally posted by Adamf on 15 May 2005 Theyde look better in a real 182. How? They would look the same, the only difference in that picture is theres no shiny button on the handbrake.

Quote: Originally posted by fUbAr on 15 May 2005 MardlinSport 182 conversion :cool: Ooo, you let Mike lose on your car. So what does that include?

What are you upto then?

I tried them the other week at Brands and found them to be a good balance. Certainly better than the standard seats. Ill be having them in my next one.

The wheels are the same size as the 182 ones. 182 wheels look bigger than they are due to the spokes going to the edge. Both mirrors look silver to me on the Autoexpress Photoshop.
