Hi guys, Recently bought a Alien Green 200. Just couldn't resist when I saw it in all its glory! Hoping to learn a thing or two about my car.

From the Wirral

Welcome along mate, great choice with AG :up:

 

[Cropper]

Cheers mate! I had my eye on a LY one but it had different wheels which I wasnt a huge fan off. My 200 is an ex demo so it's got everything on it.. Apart from recaros which I'm looking at getting maybe

 

[Matt W]

Welcome. Nice colour

 

[Knuckles]

Hi and welcome.

Recaros come up for sale all the time, I know of a couple of sets Atm actually

 

[Cropper]

What's the price around? And are they a 1 man job to fit or do I need different runners and brackets? Cheers

£700-1200 and afaik its a one man job but there's plenty of help available on Cs.

Straight swap too.

Where on the Wirral are you?

That's not too bad, I was waiting to be hit with a £2000 figure for a minute! Based in wallasey mate, haven't seen many 200's around.

Hi mate, great car you've got yourself there!
Absolutely love Alien Green.
I'm not a million miles away from you, based near Warrington.

Bloke and Chi are in Wallasey, there are a few further down this end that I know of.

But they are a fairly rare car, I'm guessing running costs have something to do with it.

Welcome to the fold. AG is a stunning colour. Enjoy ClioSport ownership.

 

[Cropper]

Cheers guys! Yeah running costs aren't the best I'll admit but having an Mr2 turbo before hand it feels like a hybrid haha.

Welcome to CS

 

[Lasok Twitch]

Nice one mate! Great to see another AG in the area! I've got a press car too the one off 5th gear and the top gear stig hot lap

 

[Cropper]

Must be an AG thing then!

Good choice mate, Recaros make a difference though. Runners are the same, however you might come across the problem of the airbag light not going off when you've swapped them because the Recaros have less airbags. I had to take mine to a garage to get rid of it.

 

[Cropper]

Yeah, I'm sure if I come across a good set at a good price I could live with the airbag light I guess. Thanks for the heads up though

Bolster wear is a problem, I got a set with shoddy bolsters from a breakers for £770 then got them re-trimmed in leatherette for £300.
