This looks a good buy in my opinion: https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/2007-renaultsport-clio-x85-2-0-16v-197-cup-fullfat/7112758

Ha! I knew you would bring up the Premier Editions, we all know the Trendlines are actually pretty useless as a bucket seat and the CS Recaros you get in the 197/200s are significantly better/cooler

Never felt the need for anymore power in mine :P Haha, I get your point though. Still can't complete with the Recaros though...

Wheels on that blue one are gorgeous!

Never been in an EP3 but I don't think I would swap my 197 for one, not sure how an EP3 could possible compare to the chassis on the 197 haha. Curious to hear why you say that? You do make a valid point, especially as I some managed to get down into the low teens for MPG when doing a NC500...

Just having a little browse through PH/AT/eBay at 182s to get a feel for current prices and it seems that 197s are approaching silly cheap money? Saw quite a few cars around the £3/3.5k mark, with 60-70k miles, some with gearbox swaps and a couple of years left on the belts. Seems like these...

Oh bugger, that is a shame mate- best to stick to genuine renault for such an important part?

Steering wheel looks great! I'd probably leave that scratch personally- if you fancied the challenge you could make it looks significantly better with some touch up paint and a friend with a machine polisher.

When you get a chance, chuck up a picture of the scratch on the rear quarter...

£400 seems reasonable but they always say it depends on the quality of the work. God bodyshops are hard to come by and I can't imagine Albi Blue being an easy colour to match. It seems a shame to be losing its original stickers though :( I personally would probably leave the paint for now- is...

I think you're right, with some tweaks the NC looks epic and seems to go rather well too. No doubt once the prices have started to come down a little further I shall try one. For now, yours is just making me very jealous!

Long time since an update- not much has changed, 182 has been off the road and I have been racking up the hood down miles in the MX5 :) 182 is due to come back on the road this weekend and then get all the work done. I drove the 197 for the first time in 9 months a couple weeks ago- had a...

Cricket, I can't believe its been over a month since this was updated! I'll keep it brief, a lot has happened in the last month!! The short version is: I didn't go for the Mini in the end, so the 182 is staying!! Will be getting booked in for the full works then off on a NC500 run in July. In...

I don't think it is illegal to shoot them if they are touching your car. As a Mk1 owner following with interest as everyone moves towards the Mk3s haha. I definitely prefer the looks of the facelift and RCs.

Not sure on that one sadly mate.

We all know he spent half an hour rolling the car forward to get it just so!

That looks awesome, custom respray?

Very kind, thank you haha. That could be a good suggestion for PH/AT but I would definitely want it to be a fair deal for any potential ClioSport purchaser.

That is a good question. I need to look through the classifieds and figure out what I think someone will pay for it. The car I've been after is a 2007 Cooper S JCWs, one owner from new and only 17k miles. He was considering selling it a couple years ago before I bought my 197 and then changed...

So in a little bit of a situation, I was planning on keeping my 182 for at least the next year or so but the opportunity has come up, unexpectedly (as these things always seem to), to purchase another car I've been watching for over two years! Not wanting to miss the opportunity, the 182 shall...

Throttle should definitely be like an on or off switch. You want all power or no power!

Sounds like you've got a cracking car there mate

@Neil@greenlight is your man- will be the best insurance company you've ever dealt with, you won't find a company with better customer service. Cannot recommend them enough. Literally the best and I wouldn't consider anyone else. Haha, did I mention I like them?

I mean on the actual windscreen, yeah.

Alright everyone! I dont know what happened, I just assumed this thread had gone really quiet but it turns out I hadn't been getting alerts! I must have switched them off somehow... Updates wise, that LY with the OZ wheels looks epic. Those wheels do look great. @Ricardos Your LY looks awesome...

I didn't know track organisers have rules around camera placement?!

Could you not mount it to the inside of the windscreen next to the rear view mirror?

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Joey, I'm so sorry mate :(

Joey, this looks bloody fantastic mate. Paintwork is gleaming. 180bhp is a great result and must be great fun on the road. Do you have any plans to go for the magic 200? Your car has ruined Mk3s for me now because every single one I look at doesn't look any where near as epic as yours!!

He's making it look pretty first!
