Is there anyway to tell the Cooper S apart from the Works? Arent the works ones suppose to be completely sh*t hot, and from a 1.6?? I guess they do cost a fair whack more than a 182 tho! Clean16v: I can defo see where you are coming from on the depreciation, but some people cant afford to...

Directline and Tescos always give me the best quotes.

Love it! Whats the ride like on those springs?

Ill certainly be gettin mine done at Reno, not because they are better, but just because it looks better to someone buying it. Why should I pay for a filter change when I dont need it? And why would I pay Reno twice the amount on oil if I can provide my own and save? Just common sense...

My mates got an old T reg 911, about 20 years old, but it produces masses of torque. Really doubt I could keep up, but I wouldnt be a dot in his rear mirror either.

Quote: Originally posted by blink172 on 13 April 2005 Think most people buy the 182 and then fit buckets from somewhere like demon tweeks. About half the cost, or spend the same amount and get much better ones. PM Y0z2a about his special ones But then you have increase insurance and its...

Quote: Originally posted by Gaz2130 on 13 April 2005 if you make a claim for a windscreen does it effect ncb or not? It shouldnt doesnt on mine (Im with direct line). If they can fix it, they will do it for free, if it needs a new one its 50 bucks. Check your insurance details tho...

Quote: Originally posted by CocoPops on 13 April 2005 The 172 Cup screens are thinner than the normal 172 screen and isnt solar reflective, so some people ask for the normal 172 screen when its replaced. NOOO, it will be heavier and then youll go as slow as a 172 Phat. .... LOL!

Never sat in the Recaros myself, but people have said good things. Do a search youll find some info. The are lower and I think most people find the standard seats a little high, I do, and would defo go for Recaros just for that reason! Not sure about price mate, I bought mine 2nd hand...

If you supply your own oil and dont get an air filter change (because of ITG Panel Filter) will the service be cheaper? How much oil is needed, and where do people usually buy this? Im up for my 24k service soon, any price cutting is all good!

Dont like them.

Number 4 / 5 for me!

The seats in the ST are awfull!! They look nice, but just dont seem right when you sit in them, they dont hold you one bit! Plus you cant actually buy a ST, well at least he wouldnt let me have a test drive, ohh group 14 couldnt afford the insurance. Clearly didnt see what car I drove...

I like the inferno! Get it!

Just get the proper hot hatch (Cup). Not the baby version!

As you didnt give a price range, Id say this: http://www.sh33n.com/cars/Koenigsegg.jpg

Or that! (y)

I agree with geordiepaul, 16s just somehow dont look right with that kit, need some bigger alloys on it. And then lowered of course.

I was filling up in Sainsburys yesterday with the usual Super Unleaded Squirt, when a lovely 355 Spider came in. Certainly made me turn my head, did have a quick word, tell him it was a very nice car, but should be yellow not blue. He was filling up with normal unleaded as well, I mean...

225 on the older ones, 255 on the new ones I think.

According to Reno, it should be 7.1 for 172 / 182 And 6.9 for the Cup versions. So the exact same!

Mine was about £60 more a year. Hardly worth worrying about!

I would recommended a Punto Sporting anyday!! Bryans right, my girlfriend did have quite a major problem with hers. But after all thats one out of thousands (etc). She is actually thinking of getting the older shape Punto Sporting now (yellow of course) and selling her 106. Anyway...

RS would have been aimed right at the top of the market. ST150 is pitched lower down for those who want a quickish hatchback, not a super hot hatch! They will shift loads of them, look at the Zetec S, people out there just love the things. I myself think they look quite smart. But the...
