Been a while since I've posted up on here.
Any way, had a bit of a cleaning session last weekend and took a few pics so thought I would share :)
Heres a couple of pics of the car whilst it was getting foamed.
Just think it looks pretty cool :D
For those that would like to know, it's a...
Dedicated cornering lamps are not xenons. They come with the black surround, but no washer jet. The headlights are a standard type bulb.
If you buy xenons, they included the cornering feature and the black surrounds, but also have washer jets.
Well I have had it for just over three weeks now, and after after a long weekend in Scotland, she has just over 1200 miles on the clock.
Absolutely loving everything about the car, the noise more than anything.
Heres a few pics I have taken since I've had it.
Ta very much for all the comments people.
I will be at FCS with the car, so if anyone wants to come and have a nosey round, no problem.
Will be on the performance renaults stand
cheers
Well after a 2 hour drive to Stockport, I arrived at the dealers to see my car for the first time. The colour looks absolutely stunning in the flesh, it's a pearl effect and changes shade slightly depending how the light catches it.
The car had only 9 miles on it, which I am pleased about. Now...
After a lot of delays and c**k ups with my original order, which means its now expected August 3rd instead of June 18th, I have decided to cancel the order.
I have instead got hold of one in a showroom. Its unregistered with 9 miles on the clock. In addition to the options I ordered originally...
Don't get Liquid Yellow, it will clash with mine.
Just kidding mate.
The R26 in Dixons is gorgeous, I was tempeted to cancel my order for one. But I still think the 197 is a slightly better looking car.
All the best making your choice
Shindig - Looks like there may well be two LY R27s in Lincoln then.
Mine arrives early July, and I ordered mine on April 9th.
I was over at Dixons Renault earlier this week chatting to the manager, and he said the earliest possible date would be July 19th, and that was on a standard car, no...
Nice to hear a good review of the R27 and that a few little niggles have been sorted.
I have also heard that the steering feel has been improved a lot too.
Looking forward to picking mine up in June.
Cheers, for all the comments.
There will most definately be plenty of pics when it arrives.
As for knowing what number it is, no I don't. Will only find out the day it arrives.
jph172 - I think the 197 is far from a disappointment.
The only real complaints people seem to have against the car are
1) Its not quick enough - I'm sorry but 6.9 secs to 60 is quick, and I don't think that 1 or 2 tenths of a second really make that much of a difference in the real world...
C.slicker - test drove and ordered the car from Evans Halshaw Renault in Doncaster. Very impressed with the level of service from the lads there. I, too tried the Dealer in Grantham, but was told that a colleague had taken the demo car home for the weekend, and they didn't seem to keen to help...
The Corsa was an option, but in my opinion, it is overstyled and it will certainly not be anywhere near a match for the 197s chassis.
Plus, it is still after all, a Corsa ;)
Managed to get the car alone for £16000 from Renault Dealership in Doncaster. I then popped a few extras on, Liquid Yellow paint, Cornering Lamps, Climate.
Expensive, I know.
Hello everyone.
Just thought I'd introduce myself.
I have recently ordered a Clio 197 Team F1, so thought I'd come and sign up over here.
Was considering buying a Trophy, but to be honest I really wanted a brand new one, so went for the 197. Test drove a normal 197 the day I ordered, and I...
