If it is for your Clio 1.2 mk2 ph1 I must ask why?

Is it saving you more than the listed price or an insurance company request?

My intention is not to be rude but just curious as your money may be better spent on other items for you car .

 

[sav]

thats fine,

the main reasion was so it would lower the price of my insurance, if its not going to lower it very much what else would it be better spent on?

 

[Jamie]

Do a quote with and without the alarm before you spend the cash. I am sure it will go down somewhat. As for other things to spend it on, whatever you fancy....

ok thx what companys are good to be with im with direct line atm

 

[Jamie]

Diff to say as it just depends on their risk profiles. Direct Line were always good for me but do not insure modifications unless 25 or over, consequently when i got the williams i had to opt for a different insurer.

I am with Admiral at the mo who are a little more expensive but do offer mods for the younger driver. HIC are always a good bet also as i know a few mates who have cheap quotes with them.

Just shop around is best bet.

I doubt it'll make much difference tbh, on my old 1.6 which was newer and higher insurance group than yours it would've taken it down £25 for a £250 alarm. I wanted one anyway so I bought the alarm itself for £60 and fitted it myself.
