That last comment should really help you sell your car!!!!

Not sure if I can change the advert on the autotrader website - am looking into it.... Too late for the mag as its already printed, doh! You should be able to change the online advert. When you posted the advert they should have sent you an e-mail explaining how to alter the advert. Failing...

Hello Owen I am afraid your car is over priced and the advice you are getting is mostly from other owners who like most of us (myself included) believe our cars are worth top dollar, BUT if you want to sell you have to look at the market, the competition and think like a buyer NOT an owner...

That looks very sexy let us know how it goes.

I don't know, am a bit of a numpty with car electrics!

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the reply. i have a couple of questions though: Will it fit the Clio? If so: What is the model number? How much does it retail for?

I am looking for a stereo unit which will allow me to plug my MP3 player (Creative Labs) into it. I've seen them in new cars and presume you can now buy them as aftermarket units. Any recommendations??

Clio 172 Cup insurance ~ Who do you use??? Best quote I've got is £532 through Confused.com for two drivers (Aged 36 & 38) 6pts (SP50 & SP30) and two minor claims with protected NCB. Who do you use to insure your 172 CUP?

I tried to get a quote from them (Greenlight) today and they were absolutely useless as they won't even insure a Clio CUP as they don't have ABS. Their quote for a FF was either £860 or £890 which was not competitive with confused .com who quoted £532 for a Clio CUP and I would expect the FF to...

Well.... Greenlight were absolutely useless. Bearing in mind they are recommended by this site (which they are aware of) they will NOT insure any Clio CUPS due to adverse claims history with this marque because of the lack of ABS; and they aren't competitive on the FF, they came in with a quote...

What is the problem with the brakes? I see you have a Fiesta Supersport, is that one of the the Mk1 predessors to the XR2? If so that realy is a rare car!

Thanks for that I have requested an online quote (with and without the chip) so will wait and see.

Thanks. I have not heard of them. Do you have a telephone number or is there a website?

Hmmmm? A double post.... not sure how I did that!

I have a seperate thread going with regard to fitting an uprated ECU chip... I have been getting quotes from confused.com who I have to say are very good. I have been quoted £532 for comprehensive insurance with protected NCB (With 6 points). Just for fun(?) I got a quote through them with a...

Who do you insure with?

Thanks for the advice. I have been getting quotes from confused.com who I have to say are very good. I have been quoted £532 for comprehensive insurance with protected NCB. Just for fun(?) I got a quote through them with a modified CHIP and the only quote was £1124. Absolute day light...

I bought a 03 plate Focus ST170 last year which was such a disappointment I cut my loss's and sold it (and I mean a great loss) within 3 months. The car had rave reviews in the magazines but I found it to be massively over tyred and the 170 BHP had no punch. My old Peugeot S2 106 Rallye was...

Thanks for the reply. What is SMT6? I presume this is a mapable chip whch would work well in conjunction with other modifications and if that is the case it isn't what i am looking for. I just want to optimise the standard car after all 170+ BHP through the front wheels is still alot in my...

I am looking to but a 172 CUP (Late spring / early summer) because it fit the bill for me. I don't want to mess around with the car per se but I am thinking of going to GDI to get braided brake hoses to improve the pedal and I am tempted to upgradethe ECU chip if it really improves driveability...

I am looking to buy a 172 CUP (late spring / early summer) but someone at work mentioned that the 206 GTI 180 is good car. I do like fast Peugeot's but I haven't read a road test where it has done well... In my opinion Peugeot have gone off the boil in recent years when it comes to hot hatches...

Are you sure? If you look on the Autotrader website alot of the Cups have what appear to be headlamp washers clearer visible on the bumper below the headlights.

So that is the next step on from LOL...? Theres no flies on me!

Hi James Firstly what is PMSL? Secondly thanks for the reply. Does the heat shield fix to existing mounting points? Does it affect your insurance much? I have had two 205 GTI's one a 1.6 (before my rallye) and then a 1.9 last year from a company called Just GtI's. The 1.6 had over a...

Hi James Really nice photos! Are the first two of your car or from a magazine article? I notivce in the last photo yuo have a aftermarket airfilter. What are the advantages of it and does it affect your warranty and insurance? I sthat your 1.9 205 GTi in the photo? Hopw does that compare to...

Hello MJD1 & EO52VUG Thanks you for your posts. I am realistically looking at later spring early summer to buy a Cup so it is a little early for me; but thank you for taking the time to let me know. MJD1 ~ I had already seen your car on pistonheads and it does look like a beauty...

I just had a look back over recent 172 CUPS advertised on Ebay and found a nice looking 2002 model with 28K miles (Item # 4606926229) which failed to attract a single bid with a starting price of £5995! I don’t understand why they aren’t selling at that price ~ 6K seems to be good price…

Mark Thanks for the lesson in computer abbreviations!
