hi, my names Colin,

in the next month or 2 im going to be looking for a clio 172 when my saxo finally sells...so thought id check out this site!

any tips for a newbie? also..is there a club insurance scheme? im 20 in april, and cheapest quote i can get on a 172 is with elephant, £2504, strangely enough, a 182 was £2260 which seems odd..

Welcome to the club. No group insurance :mad:

Try direct line, tesco or have a look in the interior forum as there is an insurance sticky with a list of people to try.

How much you got to spend on the car? 7K should get you a ph2 172, with average miles. Might not have the full set of toys the later and slightly more expensive 172 will have.

They are very cheap to run compared to Scooby etc and should return 30-40mpg depending how hard you push it.

Look out for the 4k rattle from the cat, that the engine mount mod has been done and there is no un even wear on the tyres. Otherwise that about it.

Welcome mate.

Saxos, yep very nice cars but Clios are just that bit all round better.

Im getting a 172 this year. Being 29 with 6yr ncb helps me considerably though.

Hi Colin

Actually like the looks of that saxo, nice one.

Any plans to mod the 172 when she arrives or keeping it standard?

Oh, ad when your choosing a 172, go for Monaco Blue.. Best colour..EVER! :cool:

Cheers

hi tom, wont be seriously modifiying it, but im keeping my install out of the saxo, 2 alpine amps and 12" sub, pioneer components and kenwood 7" motorised screen and ps2, so that will be going in. then just tints to finish it off...id like silver or flame red, is it true that speedline turinis in 17" were a dealer option? and can you tell me the best ind. kit for power gains? BMC?

The speedline Turinis were standard on the 172 Cup in 16inch

You can get them from Renault in 16s but i think you will have to go elsewhere for the 17inch size. They sell them on the k-tec site if you do a search.

Sweet rims and look brilliant on the 172.

Hope that helps mate
