Insurance help

[supa354]

Im looking for insurance for a 2004 172 clio. As far as Im aware the car I have purchased is a 172 anyway. Everytime I enter my reg number into a car insurance site it comes up as a 182 clio? Is anyone else finding this problem?
My clio has a spare wheel and a single exhaust so surely its a 172 and not a 182? Am i right here?
Cheers in advance

It sounds like a very late registered 172. Pics?

First Registered: 5th March 2004

Mine was one of the first 182s and registered in april 04 so i think its just a mistake in the system somewhere.

I think I had the problem with them thinking it was a 172 at the very start when I bought it but no any more :S

PM Neil@greenlight a trader on here who understands modified and performance cars. I've been with them for years .. Highly recommended.

Nice looking car!
As said, I'd give insurance companies a call and take it from there.
There's not many 04 172's about iirc

Cheers for your help guys!
After a few emails and phone calls managed to get some cover sorted.
Now just to wait until Sunday when I pick her up!

It looks like you've got yourself a very tidy 172.

Thanks for the recommendation mate. Ive had a PM from the Op so im on the case.

Basically the systems think "the car doesnt exist as its a late registered one". I can enter an override code on our system that lets me select it manually.

Car looks great on the Turini's as well.....It could be a 172 cup?? I didnt realise they made silver 172 Cups until i came on cliosport i thought they were all blue :S

Cheers

Nice to see another 04 172

Mines an 04 plate too

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

Agree with Neil on the Turinis, look really nice, could do with some cooksports though

I notice it has xenons, so maybe not a cup? Unless they were fit afterwards? What was the interior like? Half leather seats or climate control?

 

[Knuckles]

It's got washer jets and no cup spoiler so I doubt it's a cup

I'm tired, I didn't notice!

Its not a cup, the previous owner purchased the cup wheels and fitted them Thanks for the comments guys

The very first 182's came on 53 reg, so yeah this 172 is the very last of the line & very rare.
