Aha - Fair comment, I always keep my cars standard so it was a std -v- std comparison :approve:

I had a Laguna (RXE Airflow) years ago, sticker also came straight out of that, guess I must be a stickerist :eek:

I drove a 197 followed by a 200, there is a huge difference in the spread of torque and the 200 also felt significantly nippier with better peak power (both cars were less than 4k miles on). The 200 definitely feels a better sorted car. Put it this way, I thought about a 197 when they came out...

I would agree with Dave, but we have to remember he's 17 and it will at least be a nice project to turn it from a shed to good clean car. Have to say the 106 dechavved would have been my preference :o

GPMotorsport - What spoiler did you buy and have painted? Was it the K-Tec Sprint 3? It looks completely standard but much nice IMO than the Cup spoiler. If so please let me know how it was fitted, any drilling or just bonding? Did you fit it yourself once painted? Cheers - I'm probably...

I have done the same (but even then I cut the top part which holds the membership card) :lol:

My thoughts precisely!

:D I don't want to be sexist... but glad a lady said that not a man :approve:

Much prefer the clean look, if anyone is planning on removing the sticker make sure you warm it up or at least put the rear window heater on... You don't want to accidently damage the filaments :eek:

I cannot stand them (in fact not keen on any stickers in car windows), did anyone else remove it within the first day of picking up their Clio? :D Perhaps I'm in a minority here and you like them?

I think people with/without wear should declare their weight, the seats are definitely tight for those *cough* larger chaps amongst us :o ...Of course on the other hand Recaro should have made them robust enough to last for people of all sizes!

My Recaros are like new after 2200 miles, although as with all bucket seated cars I make an effort not to rub on them (just drop in), I also only weigh 12 stone so not too much contact on the edges :)

Just also come back from a day's snowboarding Courcheval for me! Great weather and fun today :)

Nooooooooo don't chav wreck a new car :dapprove:

Always worth a watch :)

I briefly looked at the manual in mine and found no evidence of this function, held the buttons in and nothing different to normal happened, though the first screen that does the oil level etc might be what it refers to?

Kept ourselves amused though, perhaps he hasn't liked our answers:eek:

army200 - Are you really selling up already?

I toyed with the decision of Trophy -v- 200 for a while, decision forced itself because the Trophy I looked at in Halsted (Essex) sold before I decided :( No idea how bad the depreciation is going to be but it's certainly going to be more of a hit than the difference in economy.

Another point, I only run it on SUL 98 RON, which might help a little also.

I'm also an older driver and tend not to hoon it around very much :o

First two tanks fulls I did nearly 1000 miles on a trip between Ipswich and Lyon in France, the trip said 33mpg but in reality on the fill up and calculate it was actually 34.5mpg. The trip computer has not been accurate in favour of the car once (now on 2200 miles), although it is pretty close...

You will def get more than 25mpg in a 200, mine has averaged between 31-36mpg on a tankfull with mixed driving. The depreciation however will be more of a concern in the comparison :o

I was looking at a similar comparison and the 200 is a different world (even quite a change from the 197) :)

Actually they sound better between 3-5rpm than above it, the engine note is quite boomy and nice low down but just thrashy higher up :)

Cheapest I have seen is £19 on Ebay with £1.80 postage. Might pop into my French Renault dealer and see if they're cheaper in France :)

I usually swear by Meguires Gold Class Shampoo, some new ideas to try here though ;)

The roof makes it a little taxi like IMO, but nice all the same :)

Didn't know you could do leather on the Recaros? Best colour though ;)
