    Clio 200 Vs Trophy

    The steering weights up nicely in the 200 and the faster rack makes the car much easier to control in the corners. It doesn't match the Trophy for feel and feedback, but it is more accurate and pointy. I haven't driven a 197, but I imagine it's very similar to the 200, apart from the added...

    Clio 200 Vs Trophy

    After a few weeks with the 200 I've finally found the time to write up a comparison with my previous car, a 182 Trophy... I loved the Trophy and thoroughly enjoyed my 12 months with it, but one lazy Saturday afternoon I read about the Clio 200's top-5 finish in eCOTY and casually trundled...

    New to cliosport, just bought my 200 :-)

    Sounds cool. some more photos? Never seen a white one with anthracite before, interested to see what it looks like.

    200 MultiFunction Display

    It's strange that they put it in the handbook then eh? I guess it was in the development pipeline but they couldn't quite get it signed off in time for the launch of the clio so they just offered it for the megane instead. Would be a cool thing to have, but you'd probably never use it once...

    200 MultiFunction Display

    I guess renaultsport planned to put it in but didn't quite get round to sorting he software. Bizare that they left it in the brochures though. Some bloody quality control. Might even be cause for a recall. Guess the next model will have it as standard, although it's an option on the megane...

    200 MultiFunction Display

    strange. really strange. It's not in the main renault handbook, it's in the smaller renaultsport handbook. it's defnitely in there, have another look and follow the instructions. Can't imagine it doesn't work if it's in the handbook!

    200 MultiFunction Display

    ok, get in the car and turn on the ignition (press the starter button without your foot on the brake.) Press the 2 buttons on the "satelite" radio controller at the same time. (the one that allows you to switch between radio, CD and other audio input) and the other one. If it's working...

    200 MultiFunction Display

    I have a LHD Clio - doesn't work on mine either, although that might be because I have a tomtom built in. Anyone else have a LHD Clio 200 without a tomtom? Would be great if you could try this. Very strange that it's in the handbook otherwise. Seriousha, you around?

    Youngest 197/200 owners??

    Sorry to hear that mate, but glad it's nothing too serious. Can't be too careful in these conditions, even with ESP, ABS etc etc. I've done a few advanced driving and snow / ice handling courses in the last few years. REALLY helped me when the back end of the Trophy stepped out on me last...

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    It's too dangerous at the moment with the temperatures hovering around the zero degree mark, we should meet up in the spring though. That said, driving fast on the road can be pretty dangerous and risky - not sure I should be promoting it!

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    Such comments were pretty common when it first came out, but I think now people are starting to realise that the whole aero blade / black nose thing fits the renaultsport cars brilliantly. The acid test is that when you see a 197 in the flesh now it looks soft and slightly dated, whereas the...

    New Clio 200 FF owner from West Midlands

    welcome to the 200 club! Photos? Bodywork mods???

    LY 200 Detail (Link + Pics)

    Stunning detail, looks so good you almost don't want to drive it! Does look a bit under-wheeled though, I think that's the problem with the new wheel design on the 200 - they seem to look smaller than they are. 18" Turinis in grey would be perfect :-)

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    Yeah for example in town ^you can drive around in 3rd at less than 30mph and enjoy a solid, sustained wave of torque when you put your foot down. your could never do that in a 182. As already mentioned, the stlying is spot on in my opinion - it looked awkward at first but now I realise they...

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    Definitely, it feels MUCH more torquey from low revs than the 182. There's 20% more torque at low revs than the 197 don't forget, PLUS the shorter ratios.

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    Done 1600km in mine now and still absolutely love it. It's parked below my window and I often have to run up to the window just to stare at it. I've done a few passes in it already as well and I'm astonished at how well it handles and how bloody fast it is! I've driven the same roads in the...

    Too 200 Or not?

    In that photo, the AG doesn't do enough to distance itself from the standard Clio. You could never confuse it in the metal though. I doubt anyone would mistake this for a regular clio:

    Too 200 Or not?

    I reckon the 200 looks better than the 197 as well - doesn't photograph all that well but it does look awesome in the flesh. Mine's parked outside my window and the amount of people that stop and look at it as they walk past just says it all.

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    there are two small flaps in the rails on the side of the roof and two screw holes in the top of the door shut (behind the rubber seal). These are the mounting points for the roof rails - no need for permanent rails!

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    The ski rack is brilliant; there's a base carrier onto which you can mount a roof box, bike rack, ski rack etc. The ski rack itself is a Thule Extender, which can fit 6 pairs of skis / 5 snowboards. Plus you can pull the racks out from the side of the car to make loading and unloading easier...

    Too 200 Or not?

    I've had a 182 FF and a Trophy and loved them both, but now I have a 200 and it's just utterly awesome; a significant move up from the 182 in my opinion.

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    You can tell the difference in real life; it's like the difference between Liquid Yellow and ordinary flat yellow. LY makes the car look super special even though you can't tell at first what it is that makes it stand out so much. If you get close up you can see the small fragments of metal /...

    Clio 200 Ski Spec

    Awesome day of snowboarding today with the 200. I can highly recommend the factory roof rails and Thule Extender Ski Rack. Got back down to the carpark after a day on the slopes and what do we see but another Clio 200! It was GW with cup pack and looked very cool - wasn't too keen on the...

    rear lights on a 200

    don't need to take the lining out - just remove the three torx screws from the outside. it's in the handbook.

    Clio 200 R Meggy R

    Looks awesome Chris, really like it. I'd be surprised if they do bring out a 200 R (or any further specials of the Clio) because RenaultSport will be busy "mainstreaming" the brand in the next couple of years. They have already brought out the Twingo 133 and have a new line of warmed up "GT...

    Clio 200 Black & White Limited Edition

    don't feel sorry for us, we have plenty of alpine passes where you can have some fun and there are enough tracks nearby for some decent trackdays. Oh, and the German autobahn is on our doorstep :-) Having lived in Bath for 4 years I do miss the North York Moors, North Wales, the Black...

    182 Trophy or 200

    This sort of question is always bound to spark some pretty fierce arguments. Here are mine... I owned a 182 FF for a year (did about 30000 miles and three track days in it) then I owned a Clio Trophy for a year (another 30000 miles and about 20 track days). Now I own a 200. I'm still in...

    Clio 200 Black & White Limited Edition

    Yeah the value for money is just amazing - I worked out that a similarly specced Golf GTi would come to about 50,000 swiss francs, some 17k more expensive than the Clio. And yet when I compare the quality of the 200 to my colleague's VI GTi, there's not much in it, although the clio's miles more...

    Engine popping

    My 200 does this as well. It's only 500 miles old now and I've not been above 4000rpm yet but even below that there's a nice popping sound on gearchanges and throttle blips. If your's is the same noise, it's nothing to worry about, just an awesome part of the engine / exhaust note! Never...

    Clio 200 Black & White Limited Edition

    Nah, there's enough black going on already with the wheels / roof / mirrors / nose / diffusor so the sidestrips are good in white. Might get the door handles in black though. Just another 110km to go now until the run-in period is over. Simply can't wait to let the music play in the higher...
