doooooooooo Can you not still see its a Clio MK3? (look at the side profiles etc) its only a nip and tuck, different lights and bumpers

:S:clown:

197 is bigger, therefore better no? Drove up to my 197 before in the works van. I fitted some new satin Black speedlines over the weekend, damn it looked well, all squat and perposeful. Has presence the MK2 can only dream of tbh ;)

Loved the cup, always has a special place in my heart, but i love the 197, the box, the seating position, the less gruff engine. All round better package really! (just wish it was White ;))

dude, i've had Renaultsport clios for the last 5 years a 172 Cup, 182 cup packed and now a 197, i think i know the score.........

I have H&R coilovers on mine with cup speedline alloys?

Thats because most people on here have 172/182's.... they vote for their own cars Now, i've had a 172 Cup, and had my 197 for a year now. There is no difference, the 197 is not slow as you put it. In fact just going by book times the 197 has a quicker 0-62mph time...... Also i out dragged a...

mines got 30k and still no rattles.... ftw!!!

lower it, turini's and cup spoiler? ;)

Same with my 182. It sounded lovley, but fitted soooo poor. It seemed that the hangers were about 15mm out!!!

It'll need a polish in week or so to bring up the shine. PC ftw!!! I apply 3 pretty heavy coats of lacquer, leave it a week or two, then light wet sand with say some 2000 grit, then use some Menzerna Intensive Polish with a PC

Whos mapped it then.......?

dont get the posts with people saying it adds weight....... Leather seats are really going to add the KGs aint they? :S

Fail for people posting their own cars. Need.

they all induce flat spots iirc....

There isnt one. The ratios are closely stacked, they altered 6th so it was a wee bit longer. Were talking a few rpm. Listening to some forum gheys its compleatly different box and the old one is rubbish. Makes no difference in real world. My take is my(older) car is faster with the shorter...

Power doh more like.

BTB for me on a 182.

I had to cut off 10mm from centre section my Magnex fitted to the cup a few years ago!!! Hacksaw ftw!!! Fitted 100% better then!!! Later banging on the rear beam!!

You'll be waiting for the rest of your life at this rate tbh ;)

Doesnt need another tip. Its cup racer style..... Think its the system that needs shortening, not the tail pipe according to kev?

Indeed, i also saw his car parked on Brownlow car park (job centre/bargin booze)

pppuuuurrrrrfect ;)

June for the normal Clios......

Its all a ballache imo. I did two 197 alloys last year. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=316280 But for all the effort you put in, they still dont have that factory look finish. You can get them dipped/basted repaired, and powdercoated for £40 a corner. No brainer imo!!!

Yep. Its funny though, because without the Red calipers and Anthricite wheels, they look plain as hell...... In dull british weather theres nothing about them. There are some fantastic pics of Nimbus from our oversea's chums

Hav heard of the odd damper failure on some 197's. No where near as bad as the mk2's though........ Cant comment on mine really as i'm running coilovers

Giving some birds a feeding..... Anyway, epic imo!!!

My Black 197 wheels may be for sale ;)

^ Indeed :) I think they look MUCH better with the C L I O debadged. First thing i did to mine :)
