No. There's a Bilstein group buy going on, £800.

On a ph1, the fit is very poor. The ph2 bumper hides it completely, but you can still see a lot of exhaust with the ph1 bumper. Most likely a recessed prospeed.

My ktec stealth will be for sale soon.

Re: Ph1, has one fitted Recaro police. Saving RS owners from a bar-stool driving position, one man at a time.

Less than 2nd hand Recaro's.

Speaks sense. Why tie up your cash in a rapidly depreciating asset?

Lack of steering adjustment would annoy me in the cup. I liked the way you could have plenty of legroom up front in the standard 197, and still have the wheel nice and close.

Knowing Renault it'll be worth hanging on 6 months for deals.

Looks 'slightly' commited their!

Exactly my point. I imagine that when the current Clio is discontinued, the 197 will be the bottom of a good bunch. Still good, just surpassed by the updates, as happened with the Meg, the 172 through to Trophy etc.

Feel free to not get involved.

I 'think' Stevo's trying to tell us he has monies in a 'subtle' way. Nice move sport!

Re: Ph1, has one fitted Do they need to be reclining? If so -Cobra Misano (much better driving position that the recaro, more supportive too)

Was an in-joke Dan. Calm down dear!

You missed out Vee owners. IIRC, they believe it's the greatest car of any kind, ever. Need boot space? Buy 2!

Just shows how much opinions differ. Best example being the FRS, average or epic depending on where you look.

Re: Ph1, has one fitted Utter waste of cash. Far better seats available.

Fair enough, the only person that needs to enjoy your car is you. But, every neutral review I've read when they've gone head to head has come out in the Trophy's favour. I don't understand the big issue that people have with other people's opinion of a car?

What were your impressions?

Exactly. It's like saying a basic 3 series with cloth interior is the runt of the range. Still a great car, but the comment holds true. It looks hideous, but that wouldn't put me off.

Call me on the cell, I'd quite happily travel for a decent strop in one. Bit like a brunette though, best approached from behind.

They won't listen! Even Mr Trophy (ie, me) is admitting that, at the moment, it appears the 200 is a big step up from the Trophy. I'm pretty sure the drive will confirm this.

FFs, runt relative to the rest of the range, not a runt full stop dude.

Exactly. Hence why the lap Vs the Trophy is relevant;)

I'll dig out the issue and scan it in over to you fella.

Lol. I'd be ecstatic if I averaged 40mpg from my 17poo.

Grow up son! Didn't say it was much quicker. Regardless, this is about the 200. Which is a step up from either.

There's a shock. The ph2 172 is the runt of the range you fool, not a runt full stop. Still a great hot hatch but for the mk2 clio's Tropy>182>172ph1>172ph2. Ergo, runt of the range.

Thats out of date fella. When they changed the configuration of the circuit evo took a stack of cars over. Dry and hot day, drove the 197cup straight after the Trophy. The Trophy was something ridiculous like 0.2s quicker. The 200 ruins them both, I can't wait to have a drive.
