can the clio 200 be a grower

[Tigger]

I could get to like it, one day - I said that about the 197 lol

 

[Michael172]

a grower ?

after all the dodgy shots, i think actually this might actually grow on me. its no 197 though

wonder what it would look like with the black sprayed silver ? surley a good mod to do

Well, i didnt like the 197 at first but now im very fond of it. I dont like the look of the new 200, they should have re designed the full lot and not just the front bumper, but perhaps over time ill grow fond of it.

I think we all once said, that the 197 was no 182. Now the 182 is old and dated and looks s**t, and the 197 is a fresh change from the piece of plastic crap known as the 182.

someone PS the front of this silver and it will look like a 206 gti. shite

I'm rapidly going off the Clio 200, thought it didn't look too bad at first but I'm changing my mind more and more every time I see it.

However, I think Alien Green looks awesome!

 

[Sarah]

When the 182 came out I didn't like it, when the R26 came out I didn't like it and when the 197 came out I didn't like that either - all of which I now think look great.

Think I will reserve my initial impressions for a while.

agree with you there

aye the green does look good, i think the front end look shite, if it was possible to swap it with the 197's i would definately be interested.

 

[Curley]

If they made the front bigger they should of made the back end a touch bigger too. The nimbus above looks a bit weird

 

[daydotz]

not sure maybe colour coded it may look better the mk3 ph1 looks better imo

 

[GM_182]

It looks poverty spec with the black plastic looking bumper and wing mirrors!

I agree thats what is putting me off the 200 as well. Colour coded it would be a big improvement (IMO)

 

[trailerparktrev]

I definitely won't be buying one. It is hideous. A total bodge job.

 

[Christopher]

Too right.

Awful wheels and bodged front end.

 

[Turkish]

Looks like a cut and shut, lines don't flow at all

 

[Fordy101]

man did a 182 touch you up as a child? Youve got some issues with that car lol

 

[Michael172]

No lol.

The front lets it down... hugely!

It doesnt 'flow' like the 197 i.e the front grille to the lights to the curves on the panels on the 197 all join up and look aggresive but the 200 just doesn't.

Also the bit where the number plate will be sticks out a bit too much.

I like the wheels, spoiler, tailpipes etc but the front is a no go.


The answer to the OP is no i really dont think it will grow on me. I know i'd be getting a 197 over the 200 Fo' Sho' (new meg ftw)

holy s**t.. thats fugly though... surley it will be only 6 months before they facelift this mutha..

Agree with nothing flowing.

Check my bad selfs car^ Look at the way the grille flows into the Black headlight surround, which then carries on into the wing swage line and up the A pillar. Its meant to be there, not like some butchered on effort. Poor effort imo. A nip and tuck like a Mk2 Phase 2 Meggy would have sufficed.

 

[whatisjustis]

 

[Daniel]

Seen it in the flesh and i don't like ot at all.

Naff exhausts, stupid front grill and wierd interior options. Gash.

 

[gaz44]

Doesn't look like a Sport. More 100 than 200.

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

cnt see many of these ordered. but then this makes me happy as i want to get a 197

 

[trailerparktrev]

When i first saw the promo shots for the GT spec Clio, I thought not a bad face lift and thought that the RS version would look even better and tempt me into parting with my cash. No chance now, think my R27 will stay with me for a couple of years and I'll start tweaking it - KW coilovers first.

 

[Hutchie]

i would bodge the old 197 headlights and bumper onto a 200 in fact for 3bhp just buy a fecking 197

 

[TooneySonic]

Rivalling the Hyundai coupe for worst ever facelift.

second that

 

[LaurenF]

I don't like the front, it's bloody ugly

 

[Jonny1*2]

not overly fond of it, but it's not hideous. Is it wrong that i quite like the alien green? :S

 

[fUbAr]

Well, Renault sure messed up there. If loads of members on a ClioSport enthusiast website don't like it... they have no chance! We make up a large portion of their target audience, and so far not 1 person likes it.

Bad times, Renault.

 

[BBC]

Wait until it hits the showrooms and then see how it looks up close, my dealer has deposits on 2 already! One green, one LY. If the spec is good and the i.d. options give it a personal feel then it might sell. Remember the front and rear (and mirrors I assume?) come in matt anthracite OR gloss black.

 

[alexbleubolt]

might look ok, in black, if they made the front bumper fit the wing properly, as them headlights just look wrong with the bumper, and i don't like the green, and the wingmirrors are crummy

 

[Pedro]

Should look awesome in White.

Cant stand LY.

 

[fosk]

It's not grown on me, I still think its a stupid step backwards.

 

[Lagerlout]

It'll look better in black. Most ugly cars do. It hides the lines lol

 

[Phill1978]

it will sell i think, sadly it looks like renault are lowering their aim when it comes to subtlety, classy lines and chique.. the chavy ness is starting to peep through hence i think it will actually sell more.

buying a used 197 for peanuts and fitting some throttle bodies would be my choice 210hp-220hp and extra torque + that noise

 

[ijaen]

I fear this will be like with the Laguna, I'll like it at first and then hate it...
I hope this one does not last too much...

YES YES YES YES YES.....

[Ex-User (19928)]

It does look like a bad angle for a photo, but I think the 197 looks modern enough to not need a facelift.
