If you are the registered owner then in the eyes of the law you are the owner, if your dad bought it you as a present on finance the car would be yours, so its no difference to you paying for it through your dad.

If someone hits you your covered as there insurance pay, only if u hit somebody your not.

Tbh matey if your happy then why not. Personally i'm going to wait untill i'm 19 then look for a ph1 172, think that way i'll be able to get a half decent insurance quote. Tpft would tempt me on a car worth <£3k though as its hardly worth losing your ncb for if u crash. But if you hit someone...

Nice upgrade mate, looking to do the same thing next august when i have my 1ncb. Lose the IK though mate, probly losing performance. Standard ph1 airbox and panel filterwould be better. Any mods planned or is insurance too much as it is?

Write off imo, that panel is huge, ph2 172's are wqritten off with that damage. Sorry to break the news matey. I like the wheels wolf race pro sprint i believe. If its not written off lowering next on the list imo. Also good choice on the 1.4 16v, a lot nippier than the 1.2 16v

+1 in a 1.2 you don't have to use the brakes anywhere near as much as a more powerful car as you need to carry speed. only have to use them hard for tight corners.

Tbh mate its an awful lot of trouble and expense to do the mods your looking at doing, as well as losing lots of value from a new car. Thats why people havnt done it. But if you want a unique car then why not go for it, its your car,money,hobbie etc.. I'd certainly be interested to see how...

Sorry to hear the 172 isnt going well for you mate. I'm sure it'll be all good soon.

lmao +1, oh and cyclists there's more every day due to the "credit crunch" bloody cyclists....

Decat will make a big difference for £100ish. Yet that tends to go well with an aftermarket exhaust system, yozza or miltek for the 182 have the best reputation. What about some second hand turinin's, they are the best alloys for RS clio's imo and renaults as they used them on the cup and...

not many people have modded the TCE yet, what exhuast is it mate?

awsome mate, looks realy good

I'd expect the dci 65 to be on a par with a 1.2 16v once rolling, i'd say the dci 80 is far quicker real world than the 1.2 16v. I find my 1.2 16v utterly gutless on dual carraigeways and motorways where as the dci's have decent amounts of torque so they pull well without having to constantly...

RS clio's certainly do terrorise a lot of cars that would expect to walk over "a little clio"

absolutely stunning mate

If i get a decent quote on a 182 next year chris i'd bite your hand off for it. If not it will be ph1 or early ph2 172 and tptf it for a year untill i can get a decent quote on a 182 fc. Unless i get too attached to the 172 because i'll probly spend a fortune on it in that year, i've already...

Its perfectably believeable. With the same car 10bhp can be made up if his mate is changing gear slightly early or late. But same car same driver the 1.6 would win.

lmao old people are funny.

However gay this may sound i've noticed my 1.2 has got more economical and revs better in the year i've had it. From 29.5 to 36K, I think it hitting 6K Rpm almost daily (when walmed up of course) has also helped.

i'd leave the trophy mate, it has a 4K suspension on it, renault did the job properly, i wouldnt want to risk ruining the handling of the car.

look realy nice mate, was going to buy some myself but directline won't get me modify my car

I think you'd have to be insane to spend £250 remaping a N/A 1.2 tbh. No body has done it because it simply isnt worth it mate.

good luck with the test mate, was the worst experience of my life tbh (x2) :(

exactly how i want mine when i get it, arctic blue, turini's, coilies, lowwwww

I've never thought of it before but after this thread if i had a trophy, i'd be scared of it getting broken into just for the recaro's

i've had mine just over a year, no problems other than my crash. No points touch wood.

Looks awsome, you deserve it after the wait you've had aswell, bet you won't sleep tonight. There is one identical that i see on my way to work everyday, they're stunning, would order one exactly the same if i was in the market for one.

Bloody hell mate you've tracked it already, its not even run out yet it is?

yes that a good plan mate, insurance is a nightmare, i was carless for a day because i had to wait for a years driving experience.

wonder why they're so cheap though, when i change i will defo go for that size to save £47 a corner
