Hey there, just wondering if anyone can let us know about any tuning sites apart from renaultsport.co.uk? This is my stepping stone to my subaru - just can't get insurance below £3k but I had a smile on me face when I was quoted £1700! .


Really nippy the 225cup, I only test drove it cos I hated the Type R but OMG, the power, luxury and the styling is amazing. I was under the impression it was a trophy but its defo a cup. I am right in thinking the only difference between cup - trophy is trophy's are only available in like a silver goldy colour?

Your advice on rookies to 225 cup owners?

Could be a cup or a full fat with cup pack, has it got handsfree card?

hi fella, yes the trophy comes in NIMBUS ( silver) and it's got a small numbered badge in front of the gear stick,
Is it a brand new car you've ordered? or are you buying a used one?
cause cup's were only available to order from june of last year so if its registered b4 that then it will be a full fat with cup pack, also does it have leather on the door cards??

Its a used 05 reg in the baby blue silvery colour... from a reno dealer, only 4k on the clock. Can't wait to pick her up 2 wks today.

Can't remember about the door panels but it will be a 'full fat' with cup pack. Whats a 'full fat'?

As you can imagine my excitment, I'm only driving a 1.4 fiesta at the mo!

Insurance for 21 yr old, 3 yrs no claims and an sp30 - £1700 - not bad?

i went from a 1.6 megane to the 225 and needless to say its a pocket rocket!

 

[phily_225cup]

[BlackRat250]

Phily, welcome to the site mate. You'll lvoe the 225 when you get it. Your insurance is quite high, whos that with?

Our biggest show fo the year is the French Car show in May if your interested in attending.

 

[phily_225cup]

nice1 davey, its with lifesure, the 2nd best quote i got was £2289 with a-plan. Made up with £1768 for 21 wi 3yrs no claims. Thats not bad for a group 17 car don't yer think?

 

[Alex]

tried admiral phily?

My first quote with them when i was 23 was £1200. They seem to favour younger drivers.

Im 25 now and my last payment was made when i was 24 with 4 yrs NCB was £660. No points with a north london post code.

Remember to put an older family member on the policy as a named driver. I got my 56 year old mum on mine and it brings it down a little.
