Although it needs the cup spoiler imho ...
That's the bloke I bought mine from, seems he has a slow and steady turnover of these going through. Recommended if you're looking for a used one.

Meh. Ah well, Twingo for LM it is!
It's a done deal. I didn't even (and wouldn't) pick the colour myself... until we saw one at the dealership. They look insanely good in the metal.

Same spec as ours will be, except we have Recaros, black projector lights and rear tints.
No spoiler FTW.

Mint 1*2's for sale-
Turbo LY R27
Once you spend some time with the mk3's you realise how good they are. The mk2's are brilliant cars but the new models do it all better imo. Maybe another test drive or 2 will get you more settled
Ive got both and they are different drives, much prefer my r27 but still never disappointed driving my 182! Most people seem to find once they have them for a little while, they start unlocking the potential of them and thats when they become a great car! Best of luck dude.Sure you want a 200 Dave/Chris...?

Common problem supposedly, I know they come with warrenty but i'd be damned if I paid £20k for a car that potentially may nuke itself and all the hassle of getting it sorted...

172 Cup, M2 and MCS
Its not good but its got warranty and you'll get a courtesy car. Seems to be a fair few common faults creeping up with the MK3's now. Especially the 'boxes.

I noticed that earlier actually!!
Dodgy cambelts & gearboxes made of cheese, almost like being back 7 years ago in my 306 Rallye lol ...
In all seriousness, im actually loving the commute in the 330 atm, auto barge + keeping the Trophy is quite possibly the most sensible/cheapest option.
Perhaps if i cleaned the Trophy/did a trackday in it, id fall in love with it again
Mini Cooper S sport
I love how this turned into a thread about Christopher! They do look good in red with black wheels. I think the spoiler is needed though to balance out the back end.
£20k on a Clio though, wow. That kind of money would buy you a nearly new Nissan 370z.

Whichever has fuel
I'd rather the clio! Its cheaper to run, doesn't look poncey, and is more fun to drive.
I can't believe how much better the 200 is over the 197. I couldn't decide what to replace my Cup with, and knew the 200 was considerably better, but I didn't realise how much better. Steering feel alone is a massive improvement, and the pull from low down makes swift progress a lot easier. The whole package has a more direct and adjustable feel to it, the 197 never gave me the same amount of confidence as my Trophy or 182.
As has been said, watch the paint. Mine is spot on, and the black roof looks amazing with the other gloss black bits. My 197 on the other hand was a mess and had to have 2 panels repainted from new.
Plus, they look the b****cks. Needs a GT spoiler though Chris, makes the rear look even wider.

Love it.
Nice plate too, how did you manage that? Ask nicely at the dealership?

Nimbus or Mercury. Both look great but Nimbus just looks that little bit more special.
No idea why.
