I've known a few people to own these and the gearbox does seem utterly hopeless. Don't they get through stem seals and the like a bit too?

You think you have it bad... I've just bought a Meg 265 and that's ET65 lol.

I think you're right there and I think that is part of the issue. The 1*2 was great value, while this is expensive compared to the competition. While there might be good deals out there, a lot of people won't know about them, so it just makes this appear quite pricey. Those good deals are also...

Really great pictures of both cars. The two best colours for those two generations of Clio. Absolutely love this one: @Dr Jekyll you are very welcome to take pictures of my car any time!

It would be interesting to see the sales figures. They were certainly going for broader appeal, but I don't know if that is reflected in sales. I see more 1*2s than any other RS Clio lol.

No one doubts that I don't think. That isn't why people criticise it though.

God they really are stunning.

Recaro Trendlines next? Lol

As others have said, it could do with aftermarket wheels. The spoiler is a bit shouty but it does make it stand-out and gives it a bit more aggression. Someone seriously needs to rip-off the RS.16 wheel arches.

I like the wheels. Not sure I could drive it every day with them but, as a toy, I think it looks good, even better once lowered. It has the red details inside which help tie it together. I wonder if doing the logos on the doors and the "Trophy" lettering in red might help tie it together more...

Really beautiful car that. One of my dream garage cars that. Lovely work.

Like @182_steve I never used to be that keen on 200s, but they are growing on me a lot. They look really good in a nice solid colour like UR or AG, it really sets them off, much better than the metallic options. Agreed on the subtle mods too. I don't think they need anything externally other...

What spoiler is that? Be interesting to see what it looks like from the back.

I must say, I'm on the hunt for a mag 250/265 right now and this thread has put me right off a black one. Had black cars in the past and they are annoying. That being said, a car is for driving, I can't be bothered to worry about perfect paint. As I say, just get it on track and sod the swirl...

Looks great in green!

I like these a lot. Half thought about replacing my Golf with one, but got to scratch the Megane itch first.

Do lots and lots of track days in it and enjoy it for what it is.

You're too kind lol

I thought I replied to this, but obviously not. Looks great Steve.

Bought my 172 Cup in 2014 has a temporary run about/track hack for a few months. Did 25k in it, then became one of the Golf R tossers. That's going now and will be replaced by a Megane 250/265. The Clio has long been retired from daily duties but isn't going anywhere. It's not worth a lot so may...

That spoiler transforms these cars. Love the wheel too.

That sounds awful. What a world we live in. The number of scumbags just seems to grow and grow.

Looks great Steve!

As I say, I'm yet to have the chance to try one out. I am car shopping currently so maybe I should lie to a dealer and have a go lol. As for the OP, given that about the only options are Polo GTI and Clio RS, it would seem sensible to me to test drive both and decide from there. People on a...

Lordy, that's had some work put into it! Welcome. Would love to go to Finland.

Drove a 200 EDC a couple of years ago and it was "ok" but nothing more. Would like to try the Trophy but not had a chance. If I was looking for a 5dr, B-segment hot hatch to fulfil daily duties, I would be looking at a Polo GTI. The VW DSG box is likely going to be better than the Renault one...

Don't say things like that, it sounds expensive lol. Got a link?

Some real work going into this! Definitely one to watch. Love that airbox assembly!

Passed today. God knows how anyone can slate these cars, mine has had it's head kicked in relentlessly, is on nearly 137k and it cost £1.49 to get it through the MOT lol

Following this with interest!
