For the Renault dealer bought cars, there is a company at Southampton Docks which fits their alarms, as none of the cars come into Britain with them.
Think it depends on the insurance company, some are happy with any alarm/immobiliser and others demand a Thatcham one.
Hope there wont be any potholes where this extremely low car will be driven, otherwise the bottom of the spoliers will be scraped along the ground! How would you open the doors near a kerb? Would the bottom edge rub on the pavement?

I thought that indicators cancel themselves once the steering has straightened up! I suppose the next thing will be that they will play a tune at the same time as getting louder.
A friend of mine has just got a new Cooper today (not the S) and I had a drive in it. It goes well round corners but is very underpowered. Glad I didnt get one. It is bright red with horrid white 17" wheels and has some special Pirellis, which, if punctured, the car can still be driven for a...
Personally I think the difference in the 172 and the Cup will be similar to the differences between the Pug GTi6 and the Rallye.
I am going into Edinburgh in the morning so I might make some enquiries!
I saw a Cup this afternoon in Edinburgh and it looks gorgeous, a lovely shade of blue and the wheels look great too, much better than the wide five spoke. It was going away from me otherwise I would have followed it.
