A lot of it is based upon location... I notice you're based in Runcorn which I think is WA7 XXX? WA7 is a D* area which boosts premiums somewhat whereas I am moving to Aberdeen which is mostly A, meaning the lowest car crime and hence lower insurance premiums. I'm not saying this is everything...

I'm 22 and have been quoted 600 on my 197... Liambo: Who is that with?

Fair enough! If they say they are legal then I suppose I would take their word for it! Looks amazing all shiny. Make sure you keep us up to date with any other mods you do...

Mate, the car looks awesome. You must be pretty damn happy! Quick question; are you "semi-pressed" number plates road legal?

Arran, just read the beginning of this thread and have just seen your update. Congratulations matey! That's excellent news about your severance as well! Hope all goes well in the new job! Keep us posted on how it goes!!

I suppose I have a lot to find out about the car, I haven't had a 'proper' drive of it yet so that's all still to come... literally can't wait!

Just had my first exam today, which went well because I did a ridiculous amount of revision so I rewarded myself with going to the dealer to have another look at what i'm getting in 3 weeks time... I still like it :jump1:

Done some super searching on the forum... this may help: http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?t=231

As I haven't got my clio yet I'm not sure whether they have screw in bolts or nuts onto studs, could someone confirm? Is anything else required when fitting spacers?

Welcome to the site!

Yeah, I literally cannot wait but I have four exams, an assignment and Viva before I get it!! Tactically planned though... Thanks for all the welcomes!

Good point. As an example, I weight 95kg and could probably lose at least 10kg if I really wanted to... how much would this cost in carbon fibre? hahaha!

Updated! Apologies!

So, after some deliberation and thought about getting a 200 after I finish University in precisely 3 weeks and 4 days I had decided to wait until then to start looking for a car. My job starts a few days after finishing University and I was planning on getting a 200 or 197 shortly after...

Considering the times, this is excellent news, congratulations. I hope you enjoy the new job. I guess that extra £4k will go on the Clio? Lol

Cheers for the reply. Yeah, I'm set on getting recaros and the cup chassis now, if I do end up going second hand I'll just have to see what is about at the time to decide which extras I get! I'll be living in the centre of Aberdeen for the time being, I think. I'll be working for Maersk FPSOs...

I haven't heard of anything spectacular like the £200/month deals people have talked about... I was offered 10% off a new one without even asking with 10% (approx) APR. Not particularly good I don't think... Anyone else got a better deal out there?

Nightmare! I've just got a quote on a Clio 200 Cup, considering I'm 22 with 2 years NCB I thought £640 from Bell was outstanding! However, moving to Aberdeen helps!

This is meant as a question to inform me and others and not a dig... but how do people categorise oils as "good" and "bad"? Are there qualitative values and data that sway people to use certain oils or is it simply people's opinion? Or is it just, for example, the sound of the engine, idling...

Like RalphyBMW says, if they are satin black from Renault, then they have to be less than £20 really...
