Pick up my 172 on 23rd Dec



Hi, this is my first post! After a long time searching, I've managed to get myself a Clio 172! Was originally going to go for a 182, but I couldnt find any without the Cup packs, as since i'm only 22 my insurance company will not insure me on a car that's been 'modified'. Tried other companies but they all sing the same tune. In the end I put a deposit down on a 53 reg in Monaco Blue which I pick up on Dec 23rd. Even has cruise control w/speed limiter and a cd changer, which is nice. The best Christmas presents are definately the ones you buy for yourself!
 
  Clio 182 LY + Cup packs
Hi mate welcome

Cup Packs surely aint seen as a modification, there a standard item from factory??

Hope you enjoy the car mate, there great.
 
Yep, tried to explain that to them, but they don't want to know. I can insure the cup without a problem - like my creature comforts too much.
 
  Ford Fiesta
do what most people do, dont mention cup packs they arnt relevant. Its a standard factory car.
but hey you have a 172 now anyway, nice colour too!
 
Yep, i'm very happy with the car Ive bought. If anyone sees someone driving around the Tamworth or Coventry area in a blue 172, reg starting with YC53, be sure to give us a flash (lights, i mean).

I told the insurance company that 'it's got only factory fit options' didn't elaborate further. It's been done to death this one and the general consensus was that they can't charge you for it as it's not a modification. After all, the cup has the same suspension and is the same group 16.... although isn't/wasn't the Trophy group 17?

Anyway, welcome to the club, I'll have to get me a Cliosport sticker aswell....
