I think it needs 17s really... I don't like them, sorry :( Dan

The guys voice made me nod off. I had to watch it twice :) Nice cars, video coulda been a bit more Top Gear though hehe :) Seems a bit unfair that they'd use the GT 207 and not the GTi mind you. Dan

You should ring him back.... at 3am... for the rest of the week ;) Dan

I'm okish with red - rather blue or black though. Not Racing Blue - the other one. Dan

Don't think I could live with one without the Recaros to be honest hehe ;) Dan

Ok my interior light appears to be a 501 - deffo not a festoon. Weird :) The number plate light is just a small bulb - not sure what fitment that'll be. Dan

Heh the F50 driver was short shifting, wasn't pushing into the corners and just looked like he was on a gentle sunday drive :) Still sounded the tits though. Dan

Naturally you wanna be paying sub £15k for the 197 - seen as R27s could be had for £14k heh. Just a tip, there is a guy on eBay selling his 56 plate red 197 for £9,995 - apparently looking to part ex it for a Cup... It's Red, Climate, 21k miles so just run in - maybe worth a look, save...

Agreed, because of the higher mileage than most. Dan

Looks better than the Mini Clubman heh. Dan

Previous owner of mine called it Chloe heh. Isn't that right Matt ;) Dan

Am I right in saying the interior courtesy light, the map light, the side lights and the rear number plate lights are all 501 fitment? I'm thinking white LED replacements for the lot in the Vee is all - mainly cos I'm bored and browsing eBay right now heh :) Dan

Well I might have to start 'commuting' to hospital soon heh, I'd rather do it in a 197 than pile 130 miles a day onto a Vee. Save me going deaf from the K-Tec for a start hehe ;) Maybe he'll give me a grand or two and the 197 as a part ex ;) Dan

Mind you, there is a tidy one on eBay right now, 56 plate, 21k miles, climate, ultra red - £9,995. That's top end 182 and Trophy money. At that price, with 2 full years of warranty left, that's bloody good value IMHO. Dan

Christ the V6 gives me 30+ on a long motorway run if I take it reasonably (keep to 2 figured piles of chocolate buttons for most of the time I mean). Dan

If they released a Clio RS with the 230 engine and an LSD I'd literally be ordering one tomorrow at 9am. Dan

Aircon :) Dan

Haha dude no way, I was reading this thread thinking the EXACT same thing heh. This thread needs deleting - it's worse than the weekly "CTR vs 1*2 which would win?" Just for the record, I've driven both a few times now. The 197 is by far the better all-rounder IMHO - in a straight line I...

I've seen far worse reps. And that blue Cat D has been for sale a LOT. They appear to have skimped on the proper front grill, so who knows what else was done on the cheap... Dan

I go shopping with my mum some times. I'm 24, male, and not gay. OOoo. I also park over two spaces, deliberately. I haven't saved up to spend my own hard earned on a car for some chavspawn brat to not give two s***s that they're twatting the door of their doley dads fucked up Cavalier...

Jesus wept that top black car is SHINY. Dan

That looks sweet :) Although, non-white cups are gonna be seriously rare :D Dan

Those be loverly photos :) Dan

On the upside dude, every time someone bins a Mk1 - ours get that little bit more special ;) I feel sorry for the owned :( I'd be gutted if I killed mine. Dan

Might have felt it, but they both have 75bhp, both have similar weight etc. With the low spec Clios there'd probably be FA in it in the bends as well. If you had them both on the road, you'd need to be a driving god racing against a granny to get one past the other :D Dan

Best place to find one appears to be the Renault-Sport.co.uk forums - and the dealers on there. Dan

Not compared to an RS model no, but compared to any other 1.2 16v they're just as quick. Dan

But that just shows how little Ph1s are worth now :( I don't think they'll ever climb in value, till we're sorta 20 years down the line, and even then only crazy mint, original low milers will be worth anything as so many were made and sold. Williams were limited so it's a bit different. Dan

Hmmm, what has been done to acheive that 289bhp? That's more than just a remap if it's accurate - so be wary of Seat (dealers are as bad as Renault IMHO) invalidating what's left of the warranty... Good cars though those Cupra Rs - what colour was it? Dan

If you do store it, and then sell it, it's only gonna be worth less than it is now I'd have thought... Dan
