This I know. It still however looks shite.:rofl: @ Gaz!
Oh and for those that have mentioned it, I will say it again - the Recaro's are yellow as is the rev counter due to the fact that yellow is RenaultSport's brand colour. Hence the dash and seatbelt yellow option
I agree it looks strange, but hey - ho
Good choice Daniel, bet you can't wait!

Sooooo peeps who are clued up abput this.....
I'd want Storm Grey AC and speedlines. Not fussed on the Recaros as i still have them from my 197, so i could use them. Couldi put down a bigger deposit, and still keep the monthly repayments at £199 pm? If so, i'm off to Lookers this weekend

Thats what I did mate. Paid 999 deposit, plus storm grey plus black wheels. Came to £1580 iirc.
My monthly payments then stay at £199. Happy days!

i love the 200s!!! but something has drawn me away from them.... i cant stop looking at liquid yellow 197 R27s!!!! i dont like 197s but then theres the r27 i am on pistonheads looking at them all the time! and they are well affordable now! i just got a new car this year so it wont be me but its as good an option as a 200 imo!

I said to Richard that I didn't like the front end and I quote ''Well its a good job you can't see it when you;re driving it!''.

I've spoken to a few people that have driven them, they all reckon the basic 200 is a better car if not tracking it. Need to try both, as I think track days are behind me.

I'm a bit confused, your talking in Hebrew again...
The 200 Cup is the better car if not tracking it? Or the Normal 200 is?? Either way i'm going to do 2 maybe 3 trackdays over the two years in it but thats it. Its a daily driver mainly.

Punjabi h'actually. Cnut.
They were all moaning at the ride in the 200cup, said the 200 was nicer on b-roads, cup would be the better bet on track. But the basic 200 doesn't get the quicker rack.
Must drive both before commiting to spec.

Yes fella, basically saying that the cup skips on bumpy roads, the non-cup job doesn't. Not sure I could live with the steering if it's the same as the 197 though, the quicker rack sounds good.

Correct! I'm not a fan of turbo'd cars full stop really. I did think about it but I love revving the nuts off stuff and I also think that the megane is (just) too ugly. I know the 200 isn't a looker by any stretch of the imagination, but I can live with it for how well they drive.
In an ideal world i'd have had a FRS as they are my dream but i've got too much financial commitment coming to be able to comfortably afford the payments on one. Green, black wheels.... Oh god i'm nursing a semi already.....
Maybe one day!

Bar the frs, couldn't agree more. And the 250 cabin, massively behing the class.
The Boosh!

You are going to have to explain the ins and outs of the deal you got on Sunday Dan.
Seriously tempted by a 200 and I'm hoping that with me now being a Renault employee I can sort out something half decent.

Exactly. My Cup will virtually pay the repayments over the two years, where's if i keep the Cup it will be worthless by then. Toss up between SG or GW for me!

I'm going for red, or pearl white.
i'm trying not to bite but thats b****cks, cabin is excellent now, much better than the focus! not as boring as a BM, audi or VW, but supposedly built just as well (i'm yet to experience it first hand but will soon!)
bargain price for a car, amazing you can get a £23k megane for the same [rice a month really.
i couldn't downsize to a clio now though.

It's an awesome car, wasn't having a dig at yours (or anyone elses) choice. But, with 1st hand experience it's behind vw and audi on feel/quality, and massively uninspiring (all imo).
I actually prefer the layout and design of the R26, the 250 feels massively derivative (similar idea to the BMW architecture, but more buttons).
It's a subjective thing, but I think it's a backwards step.

Just drop Richard1 a PM with your number and ask him to give you a call.
Im in Derby and ive still ordered with him due to convienence (that and not having a Lookers only a Co-op Renault in Derby). You only have to make the trip once during the 2 years and thats to pickup the car when it arrives at the dealer.
