[black kro]

looks a bit girly standard

my mods..................

1) this http://www.millteksport.co.uk/media.file.cfm?fileid=358

2) Meg Trophy 18" alloys

3) 20-40mm drop

4) tiny rear roof spoiler - old shape BMW 330 saloon-style

YES?

 

[Middo]

think you need to stick with 17's and go for a bigger drop myself

that milltek exhaust isnt doing much for me, as i actually like the standard shape exhausts as they follow the diffuser.

^ MINT - fancy a red one!

 

[Gareth]

no, just buy a Megane 225, much faster, more room, MUCH better value for money.

 

[Englebert]

They'll be cheap by next year though.

 

[Gareth]

2nd hand yes.

 

[edde]

2nd hand yes.

£13k brand new I recon for dealers if you shop round and they accept little profit.

 

[Gareth]

yes, but by the time you bring one up to spec of a 172/182

 

[black kro]

good point - recaros & auto lights minimum - 17K for a Clio - ouch

how much you paying for a 225 then G?

 

[Gareth]

£16449 delivered on a truck to my door, Brand spankers, FF, Xenons, Cup Chassis, Full Leather Recaros, the spec is unbelieveable, I thought the 172 was good. I think the car spec is £21.5k from Renault, the best they could do was £19400.

 

[black kro]

WOW - nice one - nearly new are that much!

only a few quid more than a 'basic' 197

mmmmm - now I just need to find 11K down the back of the sofa :-(

 

[Thomss]

^^ Sounds good dude.

 

[BREMBO]

That is very nice!

 

[Gareth]

its a lot of car for the money :

Out of the two, meggy wins it for me so far. Tho the clio is growing on me every time i look at it.

 

[Gareth]

If i'm being truthful, i prefer the look of the 197 in some ways, the Megane looks like its missing a set of subtle sideskirts IMO (172/182 stylee), the 197 manages to deflect that requirement, unfortunately its overpriced, short of spec and sloooowwww (oh and doesn't have the space and comfort of the 225)

 

[R.A]

that megane looks amazing, but why do i still want a 197!?

 

[R.A]

how much was the megane alloys? im doing the same but not copying it, i had the idea of those black megane wheels on the racing blue since i saw the car was just worried about the handling as the 17s were made for the best performance for the 197.

That looks sooo nice!
Are those wing mirrors standard?

 

[polarbert]

Why the hell would you put 18s on a bloody clio?

 

[HBB]

With regards the Miltek exhaust - the article in EVO states that the 197 exhaust was deliberately designed to follow diffuser otherwise the diffuser doesn't work.

Add that to no boot spoiler and you may have a very loose rear end!

[RacerStu]

Do this to it (photoshop I did)

 

[Ian_182]

yes, they form part of the 'Cup Chassis' option (wider tyres, altered suspension, anthrancite wheels, Brembo brakes, anthrancite wing mirrors)

That Looks Amazing! I WANT ONE lol!!

The 197 doesn't go fast enough to benefit from any 'downforce' provided by the maketing diffuser.

id want 16s on a 197 (i assume 15s dont fit over the brakes?)

15's wnt come close by the looks 16's might be to little there no much space under there.
