197 for sure
Still pretty exclusive (seen 2 in 6 months round here)
Much better build than the older Clios, really solid feeling. Looads of presesnce, (see one on the road and you'll see what i mean)
Good out the box, sound mint, slick gearbox. I love mine. I came from a 172 Cup and a 182...
No point on a road car. Just make sure the tracking and camber is setup properly and it will be fine. I've had three cars on coilovers, and just done the above. Drive and handling are spot on as is tyre wear.
People dont care, (mods included) because even they dont know/understand what it means ;)

Your wrong. The FF term started how i said. (back end of 2003 when the 182 was introduced) But through people not understanding fully, with all the different options etc, its now ff this ff that. As said there is no such thing as a ff 172. Its just a 172. Hense a 182 (basic) is just a 182. Then...
Tbh the Cup spoiler doesnt photo too well. I met up with a 197 owner for some bits he was selling, and he had the full RS spoiler kit. Splitter, skirt 'wings' lol and Cup spolier. The splitter and winged things still look w**k imo, but the spoiler is fine imo. Just a wee bit too in ya face for...
Pretty straight forward tbh, i did mine myself, took around a few hrs, not rushing etc. They unbolt from underneath the car. IIRC you need a deep 13mm socket.
..... look at my link. Everything is in there.
Subframes you need to ring. Recaro subframes are around £80 a side iirc. They also use some of the Renault bits off your own seat
lol i prefer 'The best'......
172, 172 cup. Thats it. no FF.
History lesson.
FF was a term for a 182 WITH both Cup packs fitted, ie fully loaded, ie full fat. For some strange reason its now used on 172's, and non cupped 182's. :S

They know their stuff. I used them when i got my Trendlines. They are Recaro main dealers, are cheaper than say Demon Tweeks etc. You will need seats (lol) subfames, and maybe some resistors if your seats have airbags fitted. Thats it, no...
