yup it was my Trophy they tried and failed to sell on a number of occasions... but on topic that 197 to me seems pricey for a Cat C bearing in mind what you can pick up uncrashed and categorised 197's for
must say it looks sh!t in most pictures i've seen... but seeing it in the flesh fitted to a white Cup i think it looked the dogs... however would i fit one to my 197? errrrrrrrrrr no
5bhp i think... 7lbs ft i believe - there is a thread on RS forum, i beleive J111ASE has had his remaped... he's on both forums so might be worth talking to him for some feedback :)
Stolen from Renaultsport :
For the second year running, the Clio Renaultsport 197 has been crowned ‘Hot Hatch Car of the Year’ by Track & Race Car magazine. Judging the very best hot hatches at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground at its annual shoot-out, the magazine said the limited-edition 197 F1...

ah i wasn't sure but thought she'd bought a spare set of alloys, got them refurbed and then fitted them. with all her threads asking for opinions on what to do it got bloody confusing how she did it! lol
yup would agree with these... if you're willing to travel you can get some good deals...
steve@wests - is based in bedford. i bought from him and recommend him
alex levington - is based up north and has good reviews from people who have used him
marc elgar - is based in Southampton i think...
Kirsty172 on there fitted them herself... well she got the dealer to fit them for her. to my knowledge though it isn't an option that's available on the Cup.
Odd being as how you can spec the white wheels on a normal non cup packed 197 :S
