I completely understand where you're coming from, it's all down to circumstances. The liquid yellow at 11.1k back in November 2016 was my absolute limit, i part exchanged the Media Nav Mk4, cleared the finance on that then put in a deposit to give me £200 monthly payments. That, at the time was...

I know it's ridiculous isn't it! I was offered 9k in standard trim as part exchange on a brand new Trophy 220. Mine was a 2013 200 LUX, FRSH with 24k. But, what you're saying is on 2 levels, 2 ends of the spectrum in price terms but you're also trying to compare 2 completely different cars. If...

The price difference is amazing in a Clio that's only 2 years old, I'm pretty sure it's about 23k on the road brand new with no options. When I started looking into buying the facelift I scoured the internet everyday at loads of main dealers, I also had a friend who knows a decent salesman who'd...

The 200 pre mapping was 189bhp,it would be interesting to see what the 220 would put out on the same rollers.

Basically, yes! There's potentially a lot to say between them, we're talking about 2 cars with 4 years between them. The 200 that I had was one of the first, the introduction to the Mk4. In my opinion now I have the facelift 220 is that the 200 was just a base for the facelift. They came out in...

Thanks Mark, I intend to add to the thread this way as and when I remotely do anything Clio related. It's more a documented ownership blog than a project, my days of full blown bare shell, engine swapping projects are long gone (not that I'm afraid to muck in with other friends cars) Thats one...

It is that very cafe indeed! @Dr Jekyll and I had breakfast there last year as part of our day out in London taking photos in various location. Regards the salesman, I couldn't fault him. In one of our conversations i mentioned that my 200 had the red piped RenaultSport mats which were a nice...

So that's it for day 1, back home late afternoon and just a case of familiarising myself with the differences between the 200 and the 220.

Day 1 of Pearl White 220 ownership! Early start with a 6:45am train from Southend to West Ham, short Jubilee Line to London Bridge then a 25 minute train ride to Beckenham in South London arriving at the Masters Renault dealership at a prompt 8:55am! A well needed Costa pitstop between the...

Renault Retail group have a few, ordering a new one has a waiting time of months. It's also down to what spec you're after. Now they're not making the RS Clio anymore it's now a case of whats about. There's a Liquid Yellow 67 plate full spec with 3k on the clock down at Westover Renault in...

That last paragraph is quite refreshing to read.... Such amazing machinery but still chatting about French tin cans to a good mate. I remember your forum name from ages back, I look forward to reading up on the Trophy progress.

Oh dear

Are you sure? ;) Edited, I need to sack the proof reader!

Hi! Now that all the formalities like finance, deposit and insurance are all arranged I think it's time I can finally announce the impending collection of my new car. Behold the 2017 ID Pearl White Renault Clio 220 Trophy!! Photos are from the Pistonheads advert but you get the idea of what...

Correct, they're going to stop making the RenaultSport Clio. You can still place an order now which will take months but it's pretty much done. So it's whatever the dealers have in the UK Renault dealer network, waiting for 18 plate demos to be able to be sold or buy pre reg, 1 owner 66 plate...

Pads.... On a budget.... You'll get what you pay for. If you have to pay nearly double for something that won't fade on you when driving at speed then so be it... There'll have to be a compromise somewhere, the first being cracking open the wallet that bit more or secondly a little bit more...

You certainly did mate!

Funny thing is my daughter didn't drive it when I owned it, but can on a motorway lesson. She loves the Clio and was genuinely upset when I sold it, but happy Sash bought it as she's her driving instructor so knows its gone to a good home

Cats out the bag :cool: I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I have :up::blush:

Of course mate, will keep you posted on the new purchase.

Mapped Megane 225 but was black! Soo many similarities in car owmership! Glad you made the jump to Clio Mk4 RS ownership and boy what a choice to go into. Definitely a baller spec, I mean come on Akra, RS Monitor and leather... In Liquid Yellow.... Yes yes.

😂 No need to apologise, you do know we could be 67 plate LY fwends?!

Won't be for at least 2-3 weeks, I need to make sure I find the best Clio out there for what I'm happy to spend.

Unfortunately not, sold with everything on. Trade in at the dealers gave me a price, I would have had to strip the mods off to make the extra money back. I've managed to sell as is and then some.

Erm, you're not wrong! It all came up in conversation and the seed was planted, I then looked into facelift prices and realised I could afford one. A phone call later and the deal was done, I just couldn't say no.

4 trackdays lol

So tonight, the Clio was sold and picked up by the new owner. It's all happened fairly quickly, it was an offer I made to someone at a decent price which they snapped up. Its now given me an opportunity to buy a much newer facelift model Clio which I liked the day they came out. For now I'm...

I have a friend that lives 40 minutes north of Amsterdam attending their national meet, half jokingly weeks ago saying in a text convo saying I should come over. Cue a ferry booking Friday 5pm and heading down to Dover Saturday morning for the 4:20am ferry! Arriving in his town of Hoorn just...
