It's just on H&R springs, ride is fine and the handling is much improved!
Haven't had the output tested since the map, but it now has some much needed extra torque!
I'm chuffed to bits

you are obviously blind then!!
I know what the differnces are i'm just stating my opinion that they dont look as aggressive as i think they should do...
The only ones to stand out abit is White CUP 197's
Jealous much??
TTRS & V50
s'nice.
Jealous for stating my opinion?? Mate, if i wanted one i'd go down to Renault tommorow and buy one!
But why would i spend 14k on that when i can have 08 plate brand new Focus ST for £13,800?!
very nice mate

Because it will rust by the time you get it home?

To be fair to the 197 in general, I've seen very few pictures of them that even come close to portraying the lovely muscular & squat stance that the car has in the metal. They're far more dramatic, yet still subtle, than any picture I've seen would suggest.
Lovely machine, but also IMO lose the sticker. It lowers the tone
EDIT: good work on the sticker

That looks really nice. Probably the nicest looking current hot hatch.

Oh humm here is the '197's have no presence' pic again.....
Seriously think the MK2 looks more agressive next to it?

Looks great dude!
How come a white Cup 197 stands out but no other 197 does? What about a white, normal 197 with cup packs...? What a strange statement. If you want to buy a pre-reg Focus ST, that's fine, it's your choice. Personally of the current range of hot hatches in the size class above the Clio, that the Clio doesn't compete with, the Focus would be the last one I bought after the Golf GTi, the R26, the Leon Cupra, the Civic Type-R and the Astra VXR. Just an opinion of course
And Gaz - that picture is awesome, saved that hehe

No problemo, i also saved it too
It is hard to capture the 197 properly by a photograph, in true form it has some real persence, the front end especially
