The line where the bumper meets the wing is horrendous!

Tbh I disagree, it looks to me like they felt like they had to change something so they stuck a new bumper on it to match the rest of the range. I like all the additional specifications they've allowed, but not that bumper! The main photo on the site Lee posted up is even from behind, what does that tell you lol.

The 197's appearance is pretty much faultless, seems a bit pointless IMo. Looks like it's been Bangled!!

PH1 172
Not sure on the clio but I do like the megane!!!
When I went into Renault 2 weeks ago to book in my clio for the bonnet catch I asked if I could take a 197 cup or the megane 225 out while I was waiting.....he said to me that I could but if I am thinking of buying then wait for the new megane and clio plus there is going to be a R version of the new megane like the R26R....if he wasn't bull sh!tting then that will ba savage me thinks!!!!

No way they'll go that hardcore again, eliminates too many potential buyers.
aye...doesn't just seem to roll of the tongue as nicely as 1*2 or 197.

They were always going to have that problem with the next upgrade though.. Peugeot 205 206 etc etc. Admittedly 201 or something would've been better, but still makes no difference to me, I've still got the 172, 182 and 197 to get through first.

What are you talking about? If you imagine both the 197 and the 200 make the stated figures then 3hp and no increase on torque is fook All man. Now factor in the cars don't make stock figures, the 200 won't make 200!
'crappy 197' I'll pretend you were joking, so I don't have to deliver a tirade at your foolishness.

Obviously sarcasm you fool!
I like it. The bumper join line looks strange at first, but I think it's probably very necessary. Without it the front end would look wrong. Subtle lines like this have a big impact on the overall look. Some people just can't handle change. Many of the haters will say it's "grown" on them, around about the time it becomes affordable to them.
I agree that 200 doesn't sound as good when spoken. They'd be better off naming it Clio 193, which is probably what it now has.

Knowsit!
I personally like the new front end, and I think it'll deffo grow on people. They should have called it the 201 or 203 or sumin tho, 200 sounds wrong.
If R27 prices drop enough though, I may well be going for one of those instead and miss the depreciation.

Just what I was thinking.
I heard that abroad the 197 was called a 200 anyway, any truth in that ??

i love it awesome... would consider chopping mine in for this, but the depreciation is the killer on these renaults.
at least its not a simple tart up but a fully honed improvement to the chassis. this i think is what makes renaultsport so great, the attention to detail.

I think common theory is that most made about 190ps. It shouldn't matter, as they're just numbers and the car is fantastic anyway. It's just that personally, I find it slightly annoying that they use the wrong numbers.
