182 looks like its camp brother ;)

Remove the 25mm coilovers and the spacers and then it looks farking awful tbh
:rasp:

The 197 is too heavy. The cup is still heavier than the new cooper S, this Lux thing is going to add more!

a very welcome addition to the 197 family, not a massive fan of the satin inserts, but i can imagine it would work well with blue and black (but not red). The leather looks great and i'd be well up for that and the 6 CD changer in my car.

Also, even though the extras add weight, not every 197 owner (such as me and probably quite a lot of other owners) races the car all over the place, i'd still own a 197 if it was 0-60 in 8 secs to be honest, based upon the image, kit and value for money.

I would also be very surprised if an R27-R was never released, i can imagine them bringing this or another special edition out when the mk3 comes towards the end of production, or perhaps they are waiting to see how the R26-R is received.

In summary, the 197 is the best Clio ever produced, perhaps the best car in the whole wide world :rasp:

Looks too fat to me. Doesnt look like a sporty interior to me just looks like an initial but with black leather.

I'd have to get the cup tbh.

I've never seen one before. Nice though.

But... adding more weight to an already portly car? Hmm

I guess there's the Cup for those that think like me.

Which is why you bought a clio 182 with all the options? :S

Looks good seb, you painted those wheels yet? ;)
 
I have to say I do love the 197. 172/182 owners - get the f**k over it TBH. The 197 makes the 182 look like a shed. Cup this, kilos that. The next thing we know there'll be a 197 vs. 197 Lux thread in racing tales. "No way you kept up with a standard 197 in your Lux mate, he wasn't trying TBH"

I'm really considering a 197 to last me for 18 months, and this Lux looks ideal.

I think personally Roy, it wouldn't be ideal for your type of driving. ie: autobahn burn ups cross continental back to germany/england. I think the 6th gear would wind you up plus the full economy!! Nut buy one anyway as they are sexy as fook! :D

When will someone teach them that having 5" gaps above the tyres is not cool. Lowering needs to be a factory option, and I don't mean 3mm.

It needs those massive gaps - the rear diffuser produces 70kg of downforce, and the car weights 1240kgs!! The cup set up lowers it by 7mm though if this helps :D
