200 Owners, I need your help. (Pic Whorage chance)

[roystinho]

I think you can't go wrong with any colour tbh, though for me LY doesn't seem to suit the 200 as much as the R27 or Megane R26 or Trophy, and for that reason I personally wouldn't.

Otherwise -
cup chassis
speedlines
recaros
monitor (for bluetooth etc)
projectors
GT spoiler (subtle)
Black roof depending on colour

 

[Tunst]

Im with daniel tbh.. Not a big fan of the recaro in the mk3 but id spec em, once i get the car take em out and sell em fir a profit! And buy some boggo ones...

[Jay.]

Would help, but mines Alien Green, and you can't get that...

 

[Gorms]

Just out of interest you do know you can no longer order a 200 new? im sure there are still loads around unregistered but might start to get a little hard finding one with the right spec soon.

Edit: Might be a few weeks left!

 

[Paddy_R]

The only pic I have of mine at the moment:

Ultra red
Cup chassis
Recaros

I've got a 'sprint' spoiler on order from K Tec racing coming soon too (they are out of stock despite what their site says). I'm not a fan of the speedlines and much prefer the anthracite of the standard cup packed cars wheels.


The seats are £1315 each from recaro by the way.

£999 each in leather.

 

[gez 172]

GW, cup pack, keyless entry is a must IMO, and Recaros

I love mine

 

[Christopher]

Anything except for Liquid Yellow. Unless you're a girl. It's glittery gold FFS!

Don't get Ultra Red. I like having the only one with a proper spec.

 

[Jason_E]

Had a test drive in one today.... Even in traffic I couldn't stop smiling, that engine just has so much giggle factor!

Also, they'll be taking orders for the clio 200 for a good while yet. Dealer reckons they'll start taking orders on the new clio end of november, but won't take delivery 'till march.

 

[lbrench]

Storm grey FTW.

Second choice would be ultra red I think.

I had black with real carbon bonnet, black speedline, full fat with cup chassis. Looked like this:

 

[Chapppers11]

Food for thought, Racing Blue?

I wouldn't be as happy with standard seats tbh, Recaro's give it a better feel, especially with cup chassis.

Anyone who doesn't like the ride will only be happy wrapped in cotton wool while they drive, there's nothing wrong with it.


Any reason to *****.

It could be a good idea to give Ruk customer services a call about that. I have been told that the last ones will be built in early October.

 

[Poopensharten]

Racing blue > Red.

 

[Hixle]

I never liked RB on the 197 really, but love it on the 200. Odd.

 

[Poopensharten]

Thats because you like mens balls in and around your face iirc x

 

[Truffs]

Im sure they have now stopped taking orders on the continent for them so we wont be far off stopping orders

 

[Jason_E]

I'm placing my order on Sunday (My Birthday ).

Nimbus Grey.
GT Spoiler.
Cup Chassis.
Speedlines.
Recaros.

Big 20th Bday present to myself!

 

[StephenJ]

Good colour choice, poor spoiler choice.

 

[Poopensharten]

How much...?

 

[Knuckles]

nimbus is incredibly bland on a 200... i saw one the other week driven by a middle aged woman, almost didnt realise it was a 200 until i saw the exhaust trims

ly
rb
a white/ur
black/nimbus

in that order

 

[JCC]

I know you've already picked what colour you want, but I miss it and need an excuse to post pics, so meh.

Projectors are a must.

that actually made me smile. reminded me of getting in my 197 for the first time

 

[Keyser Soze]

When you see what 1-2 year old examples sell for there's no way I'd buy a new one.

 

[lbrench]

Can you still get Storm Grey and Alien Green?

Storm Grey looks amazing tbh

 

[Poopensharten]

Alien Green isnt available any more mate no! Shame really! Ive yet to see a properly spec'd one aswell!

 

[R-Sport.]

Good luck on the new car-

GT spoiler.

 

[Knuckles]

discontinued early this year

 

[Jason_E]

I had a GT! and I liked the GT spoiler. The Ktec ones all look too OH LOOK IM A f**king SPOILER SUCK MY DICK for my liking, even the sprint one (although quite subtle). Same with Liquid Yellow, bit shouty.

I think colours like LY and RB worked a lot better on the MK2 because it was a little cutsie car that could get away with lary colours. Although, Alien green would have been my choice if I could have gotten it! But yeah, I like how the nimbus is a bit understated and classy compared to the rest.

ly looks a bit faded on the mk 3 when placed next to a mk2 because theres so 'much'... was gonna say bigger flat surfaces lol. the 182s have more lines to stop the pearl from coming through. the mk3s dont :dapprove:

That will be more down to the spec! I saw a mercury 200 a few years back when I had my GW one and like you said it almost looked like a standard Clio.

i think it was the weather tbh, even if it had black speedlines itd just look like a 'normal' car with black/hidden wheels.

a cup spoiler wouldve been the only thing to make it stand out... or projectors

 

[Chapppers11]

Of all the unique Renault colours available, you pick grey?

Silverstone is the only silver to have imo, too bland.

true dat. silver/ black on a sporty car is a waste imo... hides all the features

LOL Unique? Not really, see loads in all the bright renault colours, yet every dealer ive been too and mentioned Nimbus they've said "Bit rare for that option, it'll probably be a factory order". Which it is. Even the system said they only had about 10 cars at the docks in Nimbus, all random specs that no person would ever pick. (EG, full fat, no cup chassis or anything.... just recaros?)

Either way, my money, my car, NIMBUS IS UNIQUE. And classayyyyy

+1

Couldn't spend that much on a grey car lol.

 

[Chapppers11]

As a car manufacturer, Renault has some of the best unique colours.

Grey is not unique compared to the number of other cars on the road, there's a reason why there aren't many Nimbus'.

How many Liquid Yellow or Racing Blue cars do you see a day? How many grey ones?
