Chris's AG200 OEM+ Project

[Chris V6 255]

Well this happened yesterday!

After stalking Alien Green owners over the last 12 months or so I finally took the plunge.
I was very close to buying Mossy's AG cup a few years ago but went down the 182 trophy route instead.

Needs a few bits doing to it but overall Im made up with it.

Plans are to keep it OEM+ with a bit of a mechanical overhaul & a few cosmetic touches.

Will hopefully get some better pic's sorted soon.

 

[Stay Puft]

Absolutely love these in AG. Was it a members on here?

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

Splitter and skirts look so good on these @Clio_fool take note 😂

 

[Stefan.]

Looks a well specced one.

Love the colour!

 

[Danith]

Want one want one want one

2 now in Warrington! Common as muck, ha.

Shhhh.

AG is lovely, that's a great spec too👍.

 

[Chris V6 255]

I prefer the look of the Cup so will be going black door handles & side strips at some point. Might get the roof wrapped gloss black while I’m at it.

 

[jenic]

Looks lovely, nice choice!

 

[Horatio McAllister]

That looks fantastic, what a great purchase

Not sure if he was active on here. Was following him on Instagram.

Such a great colour on the 200. Splitter and skirt things would have to go in a skip if it was mine, but lovely otherwise.

I’m on the fence at the minute.
Want a set of RS side skirts for the more OEM look but they are £350ish from Ktec

I remember when dream car giveaways had this car! It was one of the best cars they gave away in my opinion.

Yeah, I’m sure I spent a few quid trying to win it at the time.

When was that? Did you buy it from the winner or has it had a few more owners since? When I was looking at 200's the popular colours all seem to have had lots of owners.

It’s had a couple since then. Think I’m 4th or 5th owner now. Will have to double check when the new logbook turns up.

Nice car!

Remove the Splitter, Skirts and Rear wing. Job done!

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

Don't listen to these kiddyfiddlers. Splitter, skirts and spoiler make it look like a hot hatch, not a f**king hearing aid

"Oh but it stands out like a sore thumb, it looks chavvy"

It's a bright green Clio ffs, have a word🤣

Rear wing is a must on the 200 as far as I’m concerned.

That's not bad then. One of the AG's I saw for sale had 10 owners. Cherished example always run on vpower of course 😂.

There's a difference between it looking like a hot hatch and having plastic that stuck to it.

200 with a cup spoiler looks perfect imo.

 

[Chris V6 255]

If I ditch the front splitter I assume I will have to get a new OEM rubber strip for the front.
Think the original has been cut to accommodate the current splitter?
Or is it usually in 2 pieces as per this

Pretty certain it's 2 pieces

Ahh so that was you at the TC this Sunday 🙂 Must of missed you earlier at Coffee & Clio, but I did have a perv at your V6… simply awesome

Haha yeah, left the v6 there while we went for some lunch at the TC

I think the front looks odd without a lip, kind of a large over bite goofy look.

Mine has a trc (I think it’s called) lip, balances the protruding front bumper centre in my opinion.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Anyone know if Laguna GP alloys will fit?
Same style as Raider / R26.r but assume they are different offset?

might have to try a cheeky test fit in the office carpark 🤣

 

[Chris V6 255]

Photo nicked from Instagram but this is the look I’m after

 

[Clio_fool]

The Laguna has different pcd to the Clio 😢.

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

Yeah laguna is 114.3 and clio is 5x108. I have struggled to find any decent wheels for my megane that aren't £1100 or just dogshite awful like TD Monzas

 

[Chris V6 255]

Sad times. No wonder the alloys are 1/3rd of the price 😢

saw a 197 on them the other week, looked great!

 

[Clio_fool]

They do look smart and are a nice alternative to the Speedlines (aka mk3 turini😂). I did see a set of laguna ones for sale with some spacers that altered the pcd but I haven't been able to find such spacers for sale. I might have to see if I can get some made at work at some point.

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

Loads of places sell 5x108-5x114 adaptors. Just the only thing is that they're 20mm thick 😂

I toyed with the idea of swapping my hub flanges to some 5x114.3 Megane 250 ones and swapping the rear beam to a Grand Scenic one to convert everything to run the MK3 stuff. The 197/200 you can swap the rear sub axles easily enough and just run 250 rear discs 👀

Most folk run big spacers on the mk3 anyway. Any idea what the offset is on the Laguna wheels?

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

ET47 for the Laguna Interlagos. 7.5J

I still think Laguna Silverstones are the best wheel on a 197

 

[Chris V6 255]

MOT ran out earlier this week.
Debating getting it done now or just SORNing for the winter.

can anyone recommend a good outdoor cover?

 

[Brigsy]

Im not a big fan of covers, wind making them rub against the paint. Might be better getting it ceramic coated and regular washing to keep it right.

I’d been imagining in my brain this is possible, but seeing it written down means that it must be true right?

 

[Chris V6 255]

No real updates recently. Waiting till spring to get fresh MOT.
I did pick up an original sales brochure off eBay the other day.
Nice little addition to the paperwork file.

 

[Chris V6 255]

MOT passed yesterday 👍🏻

Got a couple of advisories to sort but nothing major.

Took the long way to work this morning 💚
