That is expensive. Is there no way I can get them 'custom made' or do you think it is worth paying the extra money for the official ones?

Hello everybody. Can anyone direct me towards some 'proper' mats for the above car? It's got standard Clio mats in at the moment that look a bit naff. I have come across some on the web but they seemed very expensive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I'm also after a dash cam...

Went out today - don't know what road it was in Shropshire but I think I started to fall in love for the Clio. I would say the 220 is better than the ST 215. I had it in semi auto but in Sport (race with no traction control is a bit much personally) and it was brilliant. Much more confidence...

I don't think I have the RS monitor then :( My old job was 30 miles per day round trip so I'll probably be better off fuel wise but still a little disappointing - I thought it would be more efficient with the auto gearbox. Oh well. Do you guys use any particular wax? It's black and I want to try...

Hello everyone. Been a couple more weeks with the Clio and getting used to it. I don't think I have the RS monitor, or if I do I don't know how to find it. Fuel consumption isn't amazing, getting 28mpg to and from work (about 7/8 miles 1/3 motorway, 1/3 dual carriageways, 1/3 side streets with...

Sooo, I picked up the car yesterday. It sticks to the road so well. More confidence inspiring than my ST 215. Not sure if it's the tyres or the car itself but a spin in the damp last night was so much fun. Still getting used to the auto clutch though and the car cuts out at the traffic lights...

Black, the same as yours! Sure it's got different alloys though... the advert has gone down off auto trader so I can't check. What is the standard kit? I should have probably checked all this before I bought it. Sure it had satnav and rear camera; it didn't have leather seats I know that much.

He was just slagging Renaults off more generally to be honest. He reckoned that I would be leaving a gap in front of me to avoid rear ending someone... Do you use the paddles much? or are they just a 'toy'?

I've stopped worrying as much now. It's having the wheels sorted and that scratch I mentioned and should be ready for me to 'inspect' on Monday. Then, just to get them to put it through the garage to check it over and do a service. The guy selling it me said that 'according to the online...

Also, the dealership (Renault Birmingham) is closing down - not sure if that's why the price is so good.

Yeah I will ask about the allignment. I would hope it would still be on its first set of tyres so they should be Michelins - is this something I should query? As for my clutch concern, I think it's because it is a 'consumable' part that isn't covered by warranty (or am I wrong?). TBH, other than...

Thank you for all of your replies. I have noticed other 220s, but this is the cheapest by a few hundred pounds. I phoned the dealership today and asked to speak to the guy who owned the car before - bit OTT but I wanted to put my mind at rest. He said it's his third RS, he never used the paddles...

Hi everybody. Recently, I had my Fiesta ST Mountune stolen and I have put a deposit down on a Clio Trophy 220. It is used and has about 5K on the clock. Since I have done this though I have been worrying about the previous owner. Three alloys were curbed and there was a scratch on the rear...
