Finally given in to temptation!

[Janner]

Hi, after years of looking longingly at Clio sports I finally bit the bullet and traded in my sensible 1 series for a Clio 200. I'm hooked already I love the lairy styling and fantastic performance.
Cheers,
Janner.

Welcome to the club, Janner!

Welcome along

It's a slippery slope once you become a fan of renault sports...you always end up coming back!

Welcome, just wait until you really cave in and buy a 1*2!

He's right, im on the lookout for another sport, addictive little cars

 

[Janner]

Thanks for the welcome. I've wanted one since a friend bought a 172, don't think there's any looking back now!

 

[K_McDermott]

Welcome

Get some pics up what colour did you go for?

 

[Chi]

Welcome pics needed

 

[Janner]

Thanks mate, I'll pop some up in the morning when the lights better. It's metallic black with anthracite alloys and exterior pack, cup chassis with red callipers.
Alloys are very lightly scuffed but can be refurbished cheaply.

[Janner]

Not the best angle, I'll take some more in the morning.

 

[K_McDermott]

Looks lovely! I'm a big fan of the lairy green but In black looks nice and stealthy

Any plans ?

 

[182Trophy]

Looks lovely in black, fair play!

 

[Janner]

Cheers mate. Haven't got any plans to be honest- I'm quite keen to keep it as standard as possible.
They're a few cosmetics I want to touch up/ repair- alloys and the steering wheel could do with being reupholstered.

 

[Janner]

A few pictures, done on iPhone so apologies for the quality.

 

[Gazza23]

Looks awesome in black, very nice indeed mate!

They made 200's with the old Renaultsport badge!? Didn't know that.

Welcome anyway, I'm sure you'll end up messing with it if you stay around here long enough has it got Recaro's? Can't tell.

I've had a quick look, it seems like 2009 200's (mine) have the old badges, 2010 200's have the RS style badges. I think that's correct, although someone more knowledgable may know better.
It doesn't have Recaros mate just the standard cloth seats. (Black with white trim and side bolsters)

I saw your username and expected you to be from Plymouth. Disappointed.

Car looks good though.

Ha ha ha I'm from Plymouth (Beacon Park) originally but moved to Milton Keynes when I met my wife.

That's cool, I thought it was the other way round with the crossover, i.e. a few 197's were made with the new badge... makes sense now!

09 & 59's had the old, as above. I have a 59 plate cup, but I de-badged and put the new badge on

 

[Matt W]

The 09 ones also don't have the front RS badge. Looks very nice, black really suits them.

 

[chepch]

Lovely car. Lovely combination. Best of luck with it.

 

[Janner]

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I'm definitely going to look into de-badging and buying RS badges for front and rear. I just need to get it back from the garage, it went in today for a new synchromesh.

 

[Janner]

Just got the car back from the garage. Runs a treat now!

Glad to hear it, enjoy!
