For that sort of money, and for a company car i would get something more comfortable, bigger, and with rear seats..Lol. R32 would be my choice, or an M3 depending on budget.

It sounds like a Full Fat 182 with Cup Packs. You need to establish whether its got the larger Cup spoiler, and front splitter.
Good choice of colour, try and get it clean, lol!

£1500!! You're having a laugh aint ya? He is talking b****cks. Say to him that you would like to escort him to one of your 'friendly' garages and get a quote. Next, i bet he will say that his neck is hurting.
You certainly need to get his car looked at by more parties and agree on a figure...
^^^ Good man. Black in the nicest colour to look at when clean, but it gets dirty far too easy! I chose my Artic Blue 182 becuase i had a black Clio orginally!
Have you ever been in a 172/182? Some difference from a 1.2 8v! I should know, i used to have the Authentique Clio (bog standard)...
It'll be harder to sell on in the future, but if you can afford to run and maintain it, i would buy it (assuming you cant tell its been damaged?) - Cat D is not too bad i suppose.

Mk4 Astra Turbo's are 197bhp, 2.0 Litre Turbo. Very quick once moving but heavier than the Clio making it an even contest. Twisties tho, forget about it Astra. ST170, you would piss all over it. They're shockingly s**t.
The Clio Sport makes larger executive rep mobiles look stupid. There is...
If i saw that, i think it would be the "quickest" learner car i've ever seen! Shame that the "learner" wouldn't be able to insure one, when they pass their test. Probably end up in a 1.2 shitter..Lol.

I would keep the ST and spend a few hundred pounds on mods. If you're a member on a Fiesta ST site, they'll advise you, that you can get some serious power extracted for the 2litre lump. It cost a lot less to tune the ST!!

I say good on them if they've got the b****cks to spend £6-7k on upgrades. If you're serious in this game, then these are the costings invloved to stay ahead of everyone else. Fair play to that man!
Also aren't there only a hand full of mk2 clio's that have turbo's?
Tyson.
Trophy is a wise choice. It wont depreciate as its a limited run, but can you really cost justify the extra money, just for a "limited editioned" car, and the better suspension? I can't...
Tyson.
Get the Cup. You cant get a better car for the money. The GTi is overpriced and its only rare cos it's cack. Advantage of the GTi over the cup is that is got better seats, and its got more equiptment. Other than that the Cup destroys it in every aspect!

I don't know how people find that nice! It looks like they forgot to colour code the wing mirrors, and add spots - Didn't the Mk2 Billabong have the same engine, but had colourcoded wing mirror and spots? Why are Renault being so cheap?!
