R27 has soft touch dash (hard on Cup) colour coded mirrors and bump strips. Recaro seats (option on Cup) AC as standard (option on cup) Also limited to 500 iirc. Cup has the same suspension set up as R27, with red Brembos.
Oh and LY is for girls and gheys ;)
Ha!!! w**k lol, i HATED them!!!!! Far too crashy and hard on any setting. I found them noisy in operation too, very clunky. Ruined the car tbh. Changed them for some H&R's and the difference is night and day! Soooo refined etc (fitted to a 172 Cup BTW)
Oh aye, pretty clued up in that its all in the prep etc..... i still have nightmares about that BG lol. Yeah agree the Petes 51 aint too durable, looked good for a week, then as soon as i washed the car, it needed another coat :(
As said, looking for a good wax for my Albi Blue 197. i have some Pete's 53 from the BG 182 ownership days. I've not tried it on the 197, i was under the impression that 53 was more suited to blacks??? BTW Albi is pretty similar to Mondial (ish) If your not sure how dark it is.

Think its more pronounced as the 197 Clio has a wider stance, with bespoke flaired wings front and back etc. The VXR uses the same shell as a 3 door Corsa? Nice cars though, and as said nice gains to be had with not much £££ I really like them in Red
:)
Konis and some good springs should be OK imo. Steer away from Apex, they are rubbish, too crashy etc. I would have suggested sportlines but you already have them?
PMSL at this thread. Subtle is the way forward and always has been. A nice clean car lowered on some not over sized alloys gets my vote everytime. Never really touched my first car (nova) then got another (back in 1999) Was black and compleatly standard whan i purchased it. Ah Nova you say...
Yeah, totally different. Reason i got one is it didn't cost me a lot to change, (mines 2nd hand) and they are super exclusive round here, not even seen a 197 on the road locally. Also with having my Cup 3 for yrs i fancied a change!!! (mistake to get the 182 :() I wanted to get my teeth into a...
I dont have a 197 Cup, but do a 197, having previously had a 172 Cup and a 182. I'd say have a drive lol!!! The build is MILES ahead of the previous Clio. The Mk3 is more refined, and has a much superior drving posision. Also the gearbox has a nice short positive throw. The handling is also...
Meh, xenons on Clios are will over-rated. I chopped the Cup in for a Cup packed 182 and they offer nothing better in terms of light output. I was disapointed, look pretty but thats it.
