1st suggestion would be binning those w**k springs. Looks good with the black wheels though.

Conti's are good, the 200 has the 3's as standard. Still prefer the Hankook's though, that's what I'll be going for. And within the op's budget.

The best solution is to buy some ff projector units, and fit a HID kit. If you want to keep your units, osram nightbreakers (h7 fitment). Don't bother with the fogs, they're never on.

Really nice. So many look overdone, looks just right at the moment. (Ps, it's armco. Not arm-coat;))

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite Big fan of the clio's, but wouldn't discount something like a 306. Mainly because they are much easier to work on.

Fair enough, but he put that it comes in a tin! I've used it before, makes next to no difference.

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite Anyway, should of bought an M3. etc. More track days planned?

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite I don't need to slow down as much as you Roy. I'm quicker in the corners.

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite The red calipers on the 200 look crap, too much going on with white.

I think that's different to what Jordi is talking about.

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite Always got that vibe from your posts. Too much of a Britney fixation for a straight guy.

That's what she said.

Nice. .

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite Wheel off job to sort:(?

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite Without snow? But, but, but, but, but.........

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite Centre cap needs sorting, 'Ford' is upside down.

Re: Roy's Shed - Esploding in Anthracite This. Looks good though. Bar the 'designer' tyres;)

Look at you getting involved in the apple chat. Buying an iPhone? I thought you only needed a phone for calling the 1900's blah blah ;).

If you convince yourself that you need to strip it to be faster on a trackday, buy another car. Clio's aren't that quick, and will never be that quick. And that's not really the point of trackdays. If it's going to be used as a roadcar, don't bother. You'll ruin it. Pop the rear seats out...

What will you actually gain by stripping it? f**k all.

I'm not in any way saying we should all buy one. I wouldn't want one as an everyday car, horrific tbh! But to have one to drive occasionally would be brilliant.

At the time, the 205 was head and shoulders above the competition, and hot hatches were a relatively rare breed. The 200 is one of many, and certainly doesn't stand out.

Simply not true. Even at sensible speeds, the steering and responsiveness of a 205 is special in comparison. They don't feel like they want to kill you, more that they are less forgiving. But that's due to how throttle sensitive they are, which is part of the appeal if you can drive it.

It will never have the appeal a 205 has now.

Can't compare them directly as cars, too much has changed since then. But you can say which is more fun (205), which has better performance (200) etc. My fantasy garage would have a mint 205gti in. There wouldn't be a 200.

My mini had discs. Great stopping power, very easy to lock up. Imo, abs is a useful thing to have. Excluding snow, I can't remember the last time I triggered abs. But I'd still rather have it than not.

Excellent point. Assuming the op lives in Siberia?
