No not the gordini, dont like the look of the gordini imo. It's the 20th anniversary edition that comes with a pearlescent white body colour and a deep black coloured roof. It is stunning, atleast in the pictures as i havent seen one before lol.

After going out today on the road and picturing myself in the clio turning heads, me thinks the 20th edition is gonna get a new home in Gibraltar. Lets see what deal i can come up with on Monday when i have a chat with the dealer. Hopefully i can drive my way upto Portugal on the rs200 for my summer holiday 
Elise 111R
Got offered a non cup car with a Recaros and speedlines for 17.5 brand new.
The taste book remains unwritten, so if thats ur thing good for you.
Lucky guys you lot in the UK, where there is competition there is a chance to get good offers. And how much ontop of that would you have to pay to get in on the road in the UK besides insurance?
You might want to spec a sense of humour while they're performing open wallet surgery on you. Bottom line is you must be certifiable to think a Renault Clio is worth spending £22k on.
I also believe that it's a tad expensive but im gonna clarify something. I live in Gibraltar which is British so uses the pound, we drive on the left hand side (proper side
) so cars have to be imported from other EU countries. So with exchange rates and import duty you do get slightly raised prices. And it is a special edition so again add something to that.And on the sense of humour... Too those that know me im as funny as Bush trying to dodge the shoes thrown at him during a press conference! And that was hilarious...

Thats on the road
I'd rather pay the extra £5k and have the weather you lot have though lol, and probably a better quality of life.

Funny you said that about the weather because today it is torrid lol, and about better quality of life each place has its perks, here we have duty free which includes cheap petrol at around 98pence per litre of unleaded 98, for the smokers the packet of cigarettes are at £1.50, 20% tax rate and so on. But you guys in the UK have stunning scenary and roads to drive on. I remember a road somewhere between Blandford Forum and Bournemouth where the road would have been a drean in the rs200, over-hanging trees, it had up and down hills etc....
Thanks, thaught they did but couldn't find pics of it. Good for shopping and my french bulldog lol
If it was me I'd be sticking 15K into a house deposit and 7K into a mint 182 or trophy + insurance. That said I have no idea what the financial situation is, but if you have 22K a clio would be a long way down my list.
What about getting a 182 this year for insurance purposes that wont depreciate like a stone, and next year looking at a z4m/caymanS/exige/TVR/older 911

No offence but it's a Clio not a Ferrari, no-one is going to care or even know it's a special edition. If you want a head turner there are much better cars to spend £22k on.
It's being imported from Canary Islands to Gibraltar so guess it's either a Gordini or a special edition we don't get in the UK.
I understand where you are coming from but in Gib its a different story. You hardly ever see an expensive car i.e Ferrari etc But a pearlescent white Clio RS with black roof and alloys is sure to turn heads here. Also its difficult to find a decent second hand car around. Although the other day there was a Scooby WRX STI 2008 model for sale (second hand) going for 26k, no chance of getting it insured though.
I bought a new house 5months ago so...
As i mentioned earlier im 23 and struggle to get a 200 insured never mind cayman, exige etc. Also i've been looking at what i could get for 22k and there is the Golf, A3, Accord... None of which appeal to me and there are about 200 of each going around.
Here's a link to a 20th Anniversary Edition, stunning imo.

And you think thats worth 22k?
My suspicion is you've got your heart set on this car and are unlikely to be swayed into not buying it. You've come on here hoping and expecting everyone to make you feel better about the decision and now we've told you exactly what the logical side of you brain has been nagging at you with, that it's a retarded idea.
Seriously move on, when you're older spend the money on something worthy of the high levels of insurance you'll suffer. Who knows perhaps by then you may have moved somewhere with roads to actually enjoy the thing.

Look on the map we've got Spain on our door step, dont know whether there are roads there? I came on here for advice and more understanding but the situation here is totally different to you guys in the UK. Yes i came with my heart set on this car and probably still will put down the deposit 2moro regardless.
Looking for 182
£22k and those are the rear seats you get?
I'm well aware of where it is. I've been to Gibraltar and based on the time I spent there I'd certainly not bother spending my hard earned let alone £22k on an overpriced Clio to punt about in. It's your cash so you're entitled to spend it how you see fit, equally plenty of us on here have voiced our opinion that you're loopy to do so. When you're my age you might look back and understand where we're coming from.
Hope i could like i did with my bike, but with the car its different. Price in euros then take off the vat, change rates and import duty which for a dealer is around 20% for me personaly would be more around 30% i think... So sums go considerably high. If your a trader and can find me a 20th for less than 22k id be happy to drive it down from the UK
