Ins Groups

if the 182 ff and the 182 are 16d

Bearing in mind the cup doesnt have side impact cushion - same as the trophy - why is the trophy group 17 :S unless its down to the suspension

 

[Da]

Because it's more expensive to replace/repair parts (ie suspension).
Cup is a gp17 because everyone keeps writing them off, no ABS??

 

[paul]
