Looks smart, but seriously the sticker - no!

Having owned both 172 and 200's now, I feel that the Mk3's are so much nicer places to be it'd have to be a 197.

These are absolutely magnificent! Great work!

Awesome. Those wheels work well!

Done 800 miles in mine now and frequently use all the revs, but never had it pop! How do you manage that?! Agreed, the door handles are much too far forward and take a lot of pull to get closed!

+1 I nearly fell over the first time I pushed the door closed on mine! It shuts with a well engineered, heavy sounding, damped thunk. Makes the 172 feel like you were pulling a piece of sheet steel closed!

Talking of noise, has anyone tried Neat Image noise reduction? I've got it and it's stunning. Feel free to post a photo at 100% and I will run it through for you and prepare for your jaw to drop!

I went from a 172 to a 200. The difference is mind blowing! Build quality is in a different league its like being cocooned and you sit low with a tiny chunky steering wheel. It pulls like a train. 1st gear is lots longer, 2nd gear feels about the same, maybe a little longer, 3rd gear is *way*...

I quite like the exhaust, but not a big fan of the cup spoiler. Absolutely love the colour!

Used to find them great - haven't for a couple of years. Sounds shocking - won't again though, hearing this, thanks for the heads up. Hopefully word will spread fast...

Call me a miser, but it bugs me them just sitting there burning up energy all day when you might glance at it for about 2 seconds, if that!

Everything except the spoiler also - horrendous carbuncle!

Thanks! Ordered from I4D - thanks for the discount. Avoided Paypal, does that lessen your commissions payments - hope so? :-)

Thanks! Whoops, thought I was there. Will check out those sites you mentioned now, thanks! (And the post above too!)

Can anyone kindly recommend a good shop for detailing products,and also where I can get a sort of shaving foam brush style, for cleaning around the RS and Clio logos? Saw on being used but can't find where to get them! Thanks for any pointers!

Make sure it's unplugged at source before you pull those power rails in and out if you do. Once saw a brand new drive go up in a tiny puff of blue smoke by not doing that!

That sucks so hard. Could you rig up a camera either from your house or in car after getting it fixed?

Well, what's it like then?!

Be my guest; kick a thin carrier bag with the possibility of inner liquid fecal matter away from my car :-D

Only decided to take it on the way back, and no way was I going to touch the carrier, it looked heavy, disgusting and suspicious (in b4 like the car)!!

I might even go as far as to agree! It's certainly prettier, but a bit less aggressive... EDIT: Nah, just googled it, and the half dark has done it favours! It has little silver marbles for wheels and sits on them like a 4x4. It still made me smile though! I'd get one for the other half!

Ok, ok, it's not really it's little brother, but this chance meeting surprised me how alike the two are. I didn't bother to look what it was at the time, but it was very cute looking! Is that a Peugeot badge?

Serious bad times - feel awful for you. Just remember the pain will ease when there is a repair or new car on the horizon :-)

Pretty impressive! Once you kerb it, you do of course end up with a cheese grater effect rim cover, which isnt ideal, but I am nitpicking a bit, better than the wheel itself I guess!

Hey these look useful, do they actually work?!

Thanks mate - given them a call now too. They sound really good, so if C.A. cant get me a good match tomorrow for the colour I'll take a trip up there!

Sickener isnt it?! Did they do a decent job?

Urrgh, worse than I orginally thought - looked again and its a nice scrape across three spokes. On the plus side chipsaway are doing it for £50 tomorrow - hurrah :-)

Lent my 200 to a family member today to give it a test drive for any hour, my only instruction being to look after the wheels. Comes back with a scuff on one (sob). Actually, can anyone recommend any company or service who could repair the silk black paint, preferably as a call out? I just want...

Excellent photos! Particularly enjoyed the mushroom one, and the composition of the clio one!
