Ive just brought a 182 and im confused!

  clio 182 FF + chipped
Hi everyone,

Ive just put a deposit down on a 182 in black. (and i noticed it had a cliosport sticker in the rear window)

And ive just done a car check on it as i do with all cars and now im about the get a insurance quote but im a little confused.

When i done car check it came up as a clio 182 16v. Insurance want to know if its a CUP or not. And i dont know! It has the CUP packages on it. Does it say CUP on the log book if it is? and would the car check of said 182 16v CUP? instead it just said 182. The person selling it didnt write it was a CUP in the title.

Thanks sorry for the silly question!

Cup and cup packs are different. If it has xenon lights, leather interior and headlight washers usually its not a cup.

You brought it? Where did you bring it from? ;)

To answer the question, there were never any 182 cups made in black so yours is definetly a normal 182.

Ah, im picking it up in the next week or so, ive put down deposit. Someone up in wellingborough.

Black/gold chipped and lowered. Looks lush.

Its got the anthracite alloys. Also has the cup pack stiffer suspension and larger rear spoiler.

I did have a clio 1.8 16v a few years back then went to a 206 Gti. I missed the way the valver handled so brought this!

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you have to tell the insurance company if it has Cup pack as its not classed as Standard by most insurance companies?.

even if it has the cup packs it nothing to do with the performance of the car and its not classed as modifying either its all factory fitted id just tell your insurance that it has the cup packs just in the god forbidden chance you get smashed up just so when you get another you get all your money back to get the same again :p

I told my insurance I had cup packs, as said, optional extras, had no affect on my premium.

Is it not down to the view of the individual insurer as to what they perceive as modified? In terms of a non cup packed variant the cup packs are a minor alteration to the cars original spec and the majority of insurers don't have a specific option for '182+cup pack/s' (regardless of the changes being mechanically identical to a true cup variant). Be the parts factory fit or aftermarket additions by the dealership, owner or whoever it’s certainly worth declaring them for your own peace of mind. ;)

Elephant insurance: So is it a 182 cup or a standard 182?
Me: its a 182 with cup packs
Elephant insurance so ita a 182 cup?
Me:No Renault sold a standard 182 and a cup 182 the main differences being the cup had different suspension anthrasite colourd wheels a front splitter and a more basic interior, however you could pay £400 at the dealers and upgrade your standard 182 and have the cup suspension and front splitter fitted as an option.
Elephant insurance: So its a modified car then?, we dont insure modified cars!.

It didn't affect your premium, therefore the effect was that your premium stayed the same. Bit of a grey area that one. One could argue either would have been ok in that exact context.

mmm you have to understand not everyone knows everything about renault clio's, your bound to confuse them if you start talking about cup packs etc

Confuse them so that they insure it as either a standard 182 or a 182 cup when it is technically neither? It's a 182 with both cup packs, claiming anything else would surely be fraudulent. :nono:

I didn't know painted wheels and non performance enhancing spoiler was classed as a modification.

it's not a cup so it has to be a 182.
