I had a Mk1 FRS sold it last month after 6 and a half years, longest car I had, I have always had Fords etc. But the Gordini appealed to me. It has very good spec for the money.
But then tbh I only paid 17k for mine, not list price etc. It is used as a second car as we have our family oil burner. It s just mine for work etc. I like the stripes as there not as in your face
like other cars.

Gentlemans spec 200
The spec is good, but so many issues with the looks! The stripes look out of place, the vents/mirrors/blade look appalling in white. The wheels, utterly horrid. And it's the wrong f'ing blue!!
The 200 is an ugly car. They've managed to worsen it somehow. I saw one today, just hideous. On the plus side, makes the normal 200 slightly more acceptable.

Gentlemans spec 200
The prosecution rests.
tbh i cant stand the 200 front end and as said alot above the white makes it even worse!
The wheels are g***. Too chavy and just look wrong on a car that's meant to be a lot classier than some chavtastic Corsa!

i reckon they should've stopped designing the clio after the 1*2's, maybe the r27.... but i do sort of like the gordini, and arent the wheels available in black/silver aswell as blue/silver? the stripes mint up close and from what i remember the interior looks quite good... but yeah, clios will never look as good as the mk2s

In this thread: Lots of butt hurt Mk2 owners trying to convince themselves their 8yr old Clio is still the best. :rasp:
But seriously as others have said i dont hate the Gordini, i just dont like the standard 2 tone alloys and the white bits (blade, mirrors). I suppose you could pull it off better with White alloys but you shouldnt HAVE to spec a certain way to make the car acceptable but then the same can be said about the 200s and their gash standard alloys i suppose, hence everyone spec'ing Black Speedlines lol.

Oi oi... The standards are nice!!!
And that is the reason why ive ordered mine with the standard wheels, as everyone else goes for the sheep look.

I assume they're gonna sell a lot in Europe where there's no taste, so the stripes are designed to run through the car on the left and the steering wheel reflects that. They don't really care about us so just slapped a RHD interior in with their LHD wheel

Well some people are stupid and don't see. I on the other hand couldn't see you noticed it, but it is late and a few beers.....

I knew I'd seen the same idea for the alloys before

Yes! One in my local dealership the weekend was £21600!
I didnt like them in the pics i had seen on t'internet but really liked it in the flesh.
The interiors very nice (nicer than Recaro's) and it has that special feel to it that a normal 200 doesnt have imo.

I reckon if the alloys were a bright silver rather than silver/blue it would look awesome.
I like, but I'd have to sort those wheels! Apart from the wheels and the Chav stripes it looks fairly normal on the outside!
Yeah special needs. It's rank. Can't think of a single reason to own one over a well specced normal 200. It's not even the right colour!

I drive past one most days on my way to work and think the same thing everytime i see it... Gash!! it would be a white one with black wheels all day long for me.
Everyone is entitled to there opinion, TBH i got mine cause it was a bit different, and seeing that all i seem to see so far is "white with black wheels" its good that its different.
The wheels are great and look good (in my opinion) and at the 2 track days ive done already. (bedford & oulton park) they go down really well with people that like to drive there car hard on a track, (not in a straight line or around streets)
My first Clio and hopfully not my last as i love it.
Like i said everyone has there own taste and im sure i will have many arguments about why there great. (first post by the way)

How is the interior nicer than the Recaro's!?
About £16.5k

I've got Recaros (so it wasnt said out of jealousy) but given the choice i would take the Gordini leathers and interor all day long.
I take it you've been in one to hold the opinion that it aint all that?
Not bad at all if it's new with barely no miles.

I wasn't being arsey!!!
I've sat in a fair few Recaro's CS'd cars and I've sat in the standard 200 seats which I thought the Gordini had, just retrimmed in leather????
I may be wrong and sorry if I am! As I say, I wasn't being arsey!
LY 200
That seems well cheap especially considering its a white one and spec'd up.
I have a gordini in the "horrible blue" as everyone likes to call it. But i will say that white is lovly, however not sure i would pay the premium for it, cant remember the price but think it was over a k, An 16 for brand new is well cheap. Think mine was 20+ and thats got all extras except white paint and sat nav.
And thanks for the welcome stan182.

They're still appalling.
Shame on you, Renaultsport.
