Clio 200 - Tell me everything. Sell them to me.

[Revels]

4 years servicing and warranty is great.

Got any pics of the new interior bits?

 

[Christopher]

Nah, they've not even got the new brochures made yet! lol.

Just look at the current interior and replace all the current yellow stitching with red, then change the rev counter to white.

 

[Matthew]

This new 4 year warrante is really tempting.

Do we know when they are going to cease production of the 200?

End of this year maybe?

 

[Christopher]

No idea.

It'll be one of the last NA Renaultsport products though. :dapprove:

 

[Matthew]

End of an era, can't see NA happening for a long time....

Good call with the new 200 mate, so tempted to take the plunge in the summer.

 

[Gally]

I predict another 3 RS limited edition 200s before completion.

 

[Christopher]

£558 to insure the 200 with both of us on the policy.

Being old FTW. Thanks Greenlight.

 

[Jay.]

Good choice Chris. Very similar spec to mine.

Wish mine had the white dotted Recaro's now. Kinda clash with the AG paint.

No spoiler though?

 

[Christopher]

Nah, I like how clean they look without one.

 

[Sargara]

Yup. Recaros now have white dots on them, rather than yellow. lol

FINALLY! That really took them way too long to address, who knows maybe they will do something to about the wearing bolsters (extra padding) at the sime time as well? We can hope i guess.

100% enough spare monies to get a project DC2 and insure it for the summer months

 

[Christopher]

200's made after December 2011 have thicker padding on the bolstering, so I'm told.

 

[Jay.]

Fair play dude.

Nice to see a decent specced car anyway.

Ha! I'd love a cheap track sl*g to mess about with, but the reason we're doing this is to save money.

I will convince you before the year is out! Mainly because there aren't any nice ones locally and I can't afford to insure one myself so it'd be nice to see a decent example occasionally

Are you making this up, it sounds too good to be true:

- Neutral coloured recaros
- White rev counter
- Addressed the wearing recaros

Next you will tell me they have solved the Syncromesh issues on the chocolate gearboxs...

 

[Sir_Dave]

Next you will tell me they have added some more steering feel & weight

I wish

Nope. lol.

White rev counter.
All yellow stitching is now red.
White dots on Recaros and thicker padded bolstering.

The only one I can't confirm is the thicker padding. The one I drove was an October build.

 

[Jay.]

Any plans to do anything to the car?

I appreciate you've actually got to buy it first haha

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Yup.

I want to upgrade to HID lamps (that's why I'm ordering projectors) and one of those slightly smaller front plates.

That's pretty much it.

 

[Jay.]

Exactly what i've done.

The HID's make a huge difference, and the smaller plate on the front makes it look much more fresh in my opinion.

Silvervisions too?

 

[Christopher]

Yeah. Nothing major basically.

Just enjoy driving the car more really. Few RS days maybe.

 

[MarkCup]

Ooh, lots of love for the 200s in here now!

Dave - you've spent to long driving about in Bimmers, no wonder you think the inside is cheap and tacky, to me coming from a poverty spec 172 it is a Maybach LOL

As for steering feel/weight...it is light yes, it is lacking a little feel, yes, but does it spoil the overall drive/experience when everything else is so bang on the money?

For me, not in the slightest!

 

[Gally]

You're obviously going to fit this spoiler...

If you're not then just torch the car?

 

[R-Sport.]

Spoiler is Awful....- almost as bad as the GT spoiler

 

[MarkCup]

Nah, I like how clean they look without one.

I never liked the look of them without spoilers, always thought they looked a bit Chrysler-Crossfire-dog-taking-a-dump like.

Now I own one I can see past that...I think they look much better without...as you said, cleaner.

 

[Revels]

Adding a Cup Spoiler just tells everyone that secretly you'd love to be Max Power cover car.

It's the chav version of the Mason handshake.

 

[welshname]

Love that...Bar the quiff.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah. No spolier FTW.

 

[Martin_172]

new aditions sound cool, think ill reject mine and spec another! lol

 

[Gally]

You're mental. That spoiler is epic!

 

[Matthew]

I agree, thats the best spoiler for any of the mk3's IMO.

 

[Christopher]

And a decent colour?

 

[Steve]

What's best deal available at present on the 200?
Toying with getting one mainly for 4 yr warranty, bonus when trackdays are a must
This is my fav colour
http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/commu...m-Grey-Fully-Loaded--Cup-Chassis/Default.aspx

Or that spec in nimbus or red, probably just have recaros.

Can someone pm with best deals available.

That 199 deal from last yr was amazing but this new one has 0%.
