Screaming out for Speedline 2118 wheels... Like the colour.

No spacers fitted, it's not like the 172-182s buried an inch inside the arch. Luckily they site nicely in them.

Had the Cooksport springs fitted yesterday and couldn't resist taking it out somewhere in the 'light' to have a better look. Looks wise it's made a massive difference, it will settle more apparently. The main thing for me is its lost that massive front wheel arch gap and lost that reverse rake...

Drag that Scrooby out and come along mate...weather permitting I imagine

I should be up for this

2 bucket wash today, after the products Ron used its really made it an easy, effortless clean. Cooksport springs are going on tomorrow than another treat for it this Friday.

Booked in to be done next Monday, I can't wait either

Cooksport springs ordered, should be with me this Wednesday. IMO the front arch gap is horrific on these (reverse rake look) so the springs should rectify this.

Diffuser FTW

Thanks for all the kind comments, I'm really pleased with it. I feel lucky to have it, I didn't think I'd have the opportunity to be in the new RS especially with the colour and the spec.

Looks like a decent car, nice colour. Subtle things done like springs, silver bulbs, maybe wheels (insurance pending) would make it quite pleasing to the eye. Welcome to the club, enjoy.

Correct, the wheels are going to be refurbed after Christmas. The front tyres are being changed for the correct Dunlop Maxx RTs this Thursday, it's gonna bug me not having any product on them like the rears but hey ho! Cooksport springs next too.

I had a black Valver back in 2000, lowered on 17" TSW Venoms with a big induction filter on the TB. For the Southend meets they'd park up at the Strawberry Fields pub car park then convoy to the seafront. It was about the time when the phase one 172s just came out. Brilliant cars, loved the...

A big thank you to Ron for doing his bit, really impressed with the work and the finish.

To be fair with those wheels I see what you mean

I'll definitely pop over, fairly busy with work but will pop round one evening

They have a Liquid Yellow Trophy with the Akrapovic exhaust, he parked it next to mine to show me the difference in the face lift model. I have to be honest I'm not a fan of the foglight design, it looks like the K Tec Racing logo. It's priced at 23k

Thanks, a few things to sort to make it spot on but IMO a decent base to start on.

Were you at the Vospers dealers the same day?! There was another LY 200 EDC parked up.

It was sitting at the Vospers dealers since September with an asking price of 12k. When I enquired last week it was 11.5k, by 'Black Friday' they'd reduced it to 11.1k Mileage was 12.8k but driving it home etc it's added another 300ish miles. I don't think it's bad mileage on a 3 and a half...

The 200 EDCs have more than 1 make of ECU, luckily mine has the one that can be worked on so a mapping session will soon sort out the difference between the 200 and the Trophy. The Trophy has different springs which are 15% stiffer and a 3mm lower ride height, another option is to fit Cooksports...

I've not heard of any post mapping horror stories on these, I think they've been out long enough to be a tried and tested option.

I spoke to Engine Dynamics today about mapping and they mentioned having a demo car. I've booked an appointment to drive it this Saturday.

A map is on the cards, will be driving the ED demo car this Saturday. 230hp and around 250-260ft/lbs

If we're showing aftermarket wheels...

Traded my 2014 Clio 4 Media Nav S in for this 200EDC. A 566 mile round trip to Plymouth from Essex yesterday, well worth it.

Epic, love this thread

Brilliant write up and photos. Amazing looking car, I'd be too scared to take it out after seeing it as it is in the pics!
