nice AG enjoy!
Megane 275 Trophy
Thanks everyone, I absolutely love it, and on a even happier note css is only 35mins away from me this year so I shall be bringing her to the ball!
My plan for this one is to keep it clean and maintained, it has a full Renault service history (bought and serviced at the same garage) and just the one owner. All I have touched is sidelights, interior and number plate lights to leds,
Silvervisions,
Steering wheel trim.
I plan to get some bosch wipers and possibly a wheel refurb in the future.
A couple more pictures for the thread..

Megane 275 Trophy

Less than £1000 to insure?
This would have been £2500+ for me to insure at 18. I was paying £1800 for my 1.2!

Only just over 1000, but my last year was over double so I thought it wasnt that bad.. Fully comp Without a black box and that

That's pretty good.
Would have thought most companies wouldn't even quote for 18yo with 1 year no claims.

Is it still the case that if you get 6 points or more in the first 2 years of driving, then you have to take a re-test?
Megane 275 Trophy
Haha thanks guys, yeah it is and im on no points which also helps. but I spent so much on the car its not worth being an arse of a driver. I take so much pride in it
I was thinking EXACTLY that.
Yes.
But kids will be kids, they still reckon the route to a girls sausage-wallet is by setting lap times in Halfords
Good lad, be careful out there. I hated driving around that part of the world. Too many tractors, lorries, caravans and single-carriage trunk roads
Megane 275 Trophy
Haha no im not fronting, even if I wanted to by dad wouldnt let me.. Which is sensible I guess.. And haha girls do like it and yeah the roads may be like that but loads better than motorway driving

Nice. I bought my RB 200 when I was 18, my insurance was around £900, so similar. Guess mine may have been less as I had already had an ST (and 3 1.2's.. I had a problem with car swapping when I was younger).
Lovely car, treat it with respect and you'll be fine, I'd have one again.

Typically car history makes absolutely zero impact on insurance prices.
at 18, it cost £1500 to insure a 1.5 (no turbo) diesel Corsa. And that was in a sleepy village where the last crime occurred in 1823.
Still, with maximum NCB (5yrs earned through aforementioned diesel Corsa, pulling 50mpg), pick a car and I bet it'll cost less than £300 a year now.

Phwoaahh! No thanks!
FUQ!
Have you already crashed several times whilst speeding away from police?
I mean, Preston, yes, that's an extra £500 before we even get started but......jeez, thats exceptional.
Haha no, first time driver no experience, that is it!
BG 182, BMW 320d
Its all about the postcode ...... mine doubled when I changed it
BG 182, BMW 320d
Cant complain at paying that ! Love the AG 200 as well, there is one around the corner from where I live and the colour is just striking makes me stop and stare every time.
I pay £800 in Newcastle, back home in York its £400 ........ But id rather do it the right way as I spend a good 70% of my time living in Newcastle and not gonna risk fraud claims haha.
Megane 275 Trophy
Hi guys bit of a late post but over the bank holiday weekend I tried to get some good shots of the car, went to a few different places, I thought the best was the docks, until I got kicked off under the terrorist act? Aha made me laugh, but heres a few of the best..
