I have just scanned in the article and pics and will PM it to someone, but I am going to be away from my PC for several hours, so maybe if others want copies, someone can perhaps volunteer to forward them to others.

[morph]

I spoke to a renault sales man yesterday and he has comfirmed that the trophy will be out shortly with 205bhp and in a limited color like the pearl yellow or titanium color to match the megane trophy.

 

[_Kenny_]

Yeah but iirc Jeremy said it wouldnt have a bigger engine or more bhp, so hopefully I wont be *too* gutted at not getting one!

 

[rory182]

will they have to call it a 205 then?! Peugeot wont have that....

 

[JJ!]

Renault are just using up the rest of the body shells!!!

 

[George16v]

I want to see a picture or the Atricle, Does anyone have a link or can someone forward it to me please?

Since when have Silvervisions been standard fitted equipment on any new Clio

 

[Dan_mk1]

I read about it today, I love the looks of it, looks really mean!

Also said in autoexpress that the trophy will just have harder suspension etc and also the most expensive in the clio range.

 

[Gus]

[cfc1967]
