Geneva will be another stickers, leather & bullshit special, if anything. I went to the Geneva show in 2010 and saw the Clio 200 Gordini launch (press day). I've never before felt so let down by a brand, only to be let down further by the 200T. I have yet to see a 200T on the road and they've...

Thread title immediately made me remember something. Loudest exhast I've heard? I used to work at a motorcycle workshop in Ellesmere Port. They once had a Yamaha XJ1300 (retro looking motorbike) with a straight-through system, to be set up on the dyno. No silencing at all. THAT was bloody...

Hate to be devils advocate, but why not use a 197/200 engine bolted to a 172/182 gearbox? The 1*2 is lighter, so you probably dont need 6 ratios (I use 3 gears at oulton in a 200, 2 gears in a 172) Have I missed the point?

Dan, PM me please.

I'm looking for a replacement rear diamond badge for the mrs's Mk3 clio (2010 1.2). Somebody nicked it. If you have one, please PM me. Cheers

www.autotrader.co.uk Might be some clues on there

I think at the time it just came down to the price. The FF interior is a bit snazzyer, and it's amazing how much you miss electric mirrors (manual spazzy nob things in a cup). If I was buying one again, I'd go FF with the cup pack and maybe Recaro's. The only option I added was the black...

I got a really good deal on the Cup, didnt really want/need AC.

Dear Renault, I remember seeing the then brand new Clio 197 at the UK Autosport show (must have been 2006 maybe) and I immediately wanted one. I thought it looked fantastic, just right, purposeful, and it had dock-off Brembo brake calipers. SOLD. It was a car I really wanted, but I was still at...

Looks nice, get the price down by £500 and its a good buy.

yep - mine does this too

How 'bespoke' can you make a mass produced car?

Agreed

BUT the same money gets you a New Clio 200 with a 4-year warranty. And from what I've seen so far, Renault are pretty good with the warranty and don't mind you doing track days.

If you are seriously considering a 200, bargain hard with the dealer (assuming you are looking at a new one) The offers aren't quite as good as 18 months ago, however, Renault 'offered' me a new 200 Cup recently (mines due for PCP renewal time) and within two emails I had the price down by...
