Confused :S

Been checking online for insurance as it's up soon, when i type my reg into comparethemarket.com it comes up saying mine is a "2010 Renault Twingo Renaultsport Silverstone Gp (133), 1598CC"

But mine is not a Silverstone? does anyone elses pop up with the same on Comparethemarket.com?

Recon it could be anything to do with previous owner swapping plates? Or dealers putting wrong plates on?

Not sure tbh Mike, just thought it was a bit strange?

 

[DrDrew]

At least you can change/input the details manually. You double checked your log book to make sure the dealers haven't been silly and registered yours as a silverstone somehow?

Will check the log book, doesn't make a difference in price as far as i'm aware...

Gordini's and silverstones are about £150 more than normal RS twingos for me

If that's the case my insurance will be going down to around £450! need to check around

My last car a new clio, the reg would not work for two years! Worked when I rang them up but not on any comparison websites. Nightmare

Those comparison websites are quite bad for showing up the wrong car - for a while I didn't notice it had my old car as a "Clio Dynamique S Turbo" which seemed right enough, it was only when I went to renew and I searched manually finding a "Clio Dynamique TCE" (which was correct) and it was a good few hundred pounds dearer!

Don't worry, they still show a BMW 325ti on my plate,,,, I owned that 3 years ago

Just done a quick check, with the 3 options, going by reg (showing as a silverstone) £598, Putting in Renault Sport 133 £585, putting it as a Renault Sport Cup 133 £585

They don't quote on ugly cars you see

 

[maggi200]

I got a quote for a facelift and the computer said no

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

When i type mine in it just says..
'Beast.'

 

[singlespeed]

My insurance is due soon, so thought it worth while seing if anyone would quote. Mine came up with the correct car.

Marine engineer - Offshore oil and gas (so a fairly high risk)
Ticked all the boxs for mods- Spoiler, different alloys, non stadard engine, remapped ecu, miscelanious engine alterations, suspension changes, dashboard changes, stickers and graphics.



Two quotes for fully comp protected no claims:-
£212 with £250 volountary and £120 compulsory excess
£1066 with £550 compulsory excess


Bizzarely,for third party F+F. The first company goes up to £265 and the second company no longer give a quote

 

[133_Ads]

No excess and your insurance goes up 5 fold! ha

 

[user 980]

£212 with £250 volountary and £120 compulsory excess

who was this quote with?

 

[singlespeed]

No excess and your insurance goes up 5 fold! ha

Playing around with the excess and, for the first company, making the volountary excess anywhere between £100 and £500 doesn't change the premium, only the total excess.... I wonder which I will choose :roll:

my dads 200cup shows up on insurance as a 197 haha
