Fallen in love with a 200

[yellowbelly]

Had my gf's 182 booked into Renault today so while i was waiting i had a look around the showroom.

I was wondering about then all of a sudden It was like everything went slow and my heart started pounding.....

A Glacier White 200 Cup staring at me luring me in.

First one i've seen in the flesh, oh my god they're gorgeous!!!!!

Now i've got to think of a way that i can buy one


The end.

Lee, Have you banged your head??

Again and again and again by the sounds of it!

 

[Pinkorstink]

I aim to have one very early on in 2010. I love my 197 but think the 200 is a must. Can't wait.

On the front bumper.

TBH, i saw a liquid yellow one with Anthracite plastics and jizzed.

 

[Chili Red]

I just can't love them. I want to, but I can't.

Give me the new RS Meg 250 any day.

 

[nick.]

I saw the alien green one in a show room and was so tempted to buy it but i just can't justify spend over 10k on a car at the moment. I even think the front suits in certain colours, when you see them in the flesh.

 

[.GAZ.]

I would love a 200, the marmite looks seal the deal for me!

 

[Chris205]

alien green with recaro's, black pack (bumpers etc) and black speedline's would do me just nicely

+1, saw 1 the other day when i was pickin some parts up. almost had a tommy tank in the show room

 

[Chris205]

I honestly think ph1 172 owners will prefer the 200 over ph2 owners, reason being we love the aggressive front end on our cars and the 200 is very similar, a slight odd ball but still aggressive and a true hero's car....much like a ph1 172

thats the one i would go for it i could have any 200 closely followed by the white 200 imo

 

[Ian_182]

Dont buy evo this month...

They love it to death,and it hammers a trophy round bedford...

 

[.GAZ.]

Trophy's are pish anyway!

 

[Jamie]

I wanted a 200 but just couldn't cone to terms with spending the neccessary 14/15k for one. At my local dealer is a fully spec'd up LY200 and it's lovley.

 

[.GAZ.]

I was gonna buy one Jamie, was just shy of £18k with all the toys i wanted!

Suppose a white cup with Recaro's and black Speedlines woulda been fine!

 

[kev182cup]

If they made an r27.r I'd think about them otherwise it's just a 197 with a gash body kit on.

 

[Jason_E]

They are bringing back the Gordini brand so no "R27" just a 200 Gordini iirc?

 

[kev182cup]

I really hope they do bring the r model out some day like the megane. God there lovely.

Yeah it doesn't suprise me. I think AG/LY paint was £1,300 or so and the leather on the seats was another £1,000 which was on top of the Recaros anyway which I think were £700 ish, then the Cup packs, wheels, the little bit of cotton on the steering wheel was even an option @ £30. It was just too much. Give it a couple of years and I may sell the Trophy for one when they are more like 10k or less.

 

[yellowbelly]

same for me dude so i just bought 1

You lucky bugger

Lee, Have you banged your head??

Maybe took a slight knock :rasp:

 

[Brett]

I was sat in one in Arnold Clark before. It didn't have recaros but had the 6 cd changer and digital climate. I'd have to have the recaros though, it seemed just a bit too luxury for me. I don't know why. Probably because i'm used to the basicness of the ph1.

If he'd of offered me a straight swap i'd have bitten his hand off however.

 

[ben81]

May well be my next car, definatley growing on me. Not for while yet as I'm not ready to change and I wouldn't buy a new or even nearly new Clio again! Hopefully by the time I'm ready there wil have been a few revisions etc and price will be around 9k!

 

[Christopher]

Gorgeous?

We need pics of your mrs, otherwise I'm assuming you're blind!

 

[Brian]

I want to know what substance they were piping in through the ventilation system at this particular Renault dealer.

Is that an optional extra?

Thats the spec I will be going for if i get one

 

[Glenn182Trophy]

i'm glad a few of you actually like the look of the 200 all i ever hear is people having a downer on it but there seems to be plenty selling there's a few about now

 

[Brian]

:rasp:

I can't talk though, i've bought one and there was nothing but fresh air to be breathed at the dealership.

 

[Fletcher]

It's sold as well as the 197.

 

[KMB]

I have to say, after driving two 197's and two 200's, there is a lot more difference than just the restyle, there is a very good reason all the motoring press are raving about the 200 at the moment!!

 

[withoutabix]

would love a LY or AG with black speedlines butttt

the lack of xenons = fail in my book just couldnt go back to a car without them!

 

[Jamie]

Why wouldn't it have Xenons? Everything on Renault is now an option so you can spec it how you want? The only reason you wouldn't have it is if you didn't pay for them?

the loss of xenons is a bad move, i had them on my 182 and took option for 197 but jesus the standard lights are shocking

 

[withoutabix]

they dont offer xenons as an option on the 200, its the biggest mistake they've made with the 200

 

[Jamie]

Never knew that. Wonder why they did that? I miss my Xenons now I have the T.

pay dude think if its not an option how can you not pay for something
