Just ordered my 200!! now cant wait!!

[a_boughtwood]

Just ordered my 200 i went for Albi Blue metallic paint (took a while to decide that), Cup Chassis, Cup Spolier, Technology pack, Electric & Folding door mirrors.

For a total of £16,195 take off my old car which was a Ford Fiesta ST £6,500 so i had to pay £9,695 which aint bad for a brand new car.

They reckon i will get it in December but could be earlier.

Cool

Should come in sooner as Dieppe seem to get a move on quicker than the normal Clio factories!

 

[Brian]

op: Was it an easy decision moving to the 200 or were there any other cars you were tempted by?

 

[timmyd]

Didnt fancy the recaro option?

 

[Revels]

First one I've noticed going for that colour.

Nice choice.

 

[Poopensharten]

Look forward to seeing the pictures, itll look lovley in the Summer when it arrives

The 200 was the car for me as i did think about a 197 but then i thought i would wait for the 200

 

[a_boughtwood]

Didnt fancy the recaro option?

Yeah i did think about the recaro option but didnt think it was worth it really

second! mine was first!

 

[Marv-C]

Sounds nice. Roll on December.

 

[Brian]

You won't have the hassle of them falling to bits anyway

 

[Timmay]

the standrad seats seem very supportive tho which when i tested one was one thing i really liked

 

[SBV116]

Recaro haters........lol! I love mine, just come home in it after driving a pug 106 1.1 for a few days! lol, different world.

LOL, I may have sounded like a hater, but i'm more of a doubter really - especially after reading about the wear issues

 

[seb]

i think i am with Brian, I love the look of them, but would be too worried about the wear issues. Plus I didn't find them as comfy as the standard seats.

stil very nice though. they look gorgeous.

 

[Dink]

bloody hell i didn't think they were that much

i think you were right to get the options you wanted and you will enjoy it

 

[Poopensharten]

I gather there the same Recaros as the 197's bar the pattern is yellow behind the mesh...?

If they are i priced them up from Renault at £3600 iirc a pair

 

[Brett]

Good choice mate. I'm sure you'll love it.

 

[famguy]

very nice i bet your counting the days! im pretty sure that tech pack is just bluetooth cos u can connect ur ipod on the standard and you get the same amount of speakers

 

[a_boughtwood]

Yeah counting down the days now then for some serious fun and just so excited about it really. The tech pack thing i was only going by what it said in the book so i really dont know how different it is from the standard set up

 

[ricey100]

lol if you are not careful with the recaros it can be very painfull

 

[rickyk]

Hi,
The tech pack is additional speakers, bluetooth, rca and usb plug for ipod.
Just ordered a 200 myself, black with parking sensors, extra tinted windows, cup chassis, folding mirrors, diamond brite, and the anthracite exterior pack.
I never went for the recaro seats either after reading all about the wear issues, and the standard seats in my 197 are great, so thought I would stick with them.
Mine should be here early dec, late nov.

 

[jayxx83]

i dont understand how the same seat that is in many cars only has issues in the renault. not heard many problems in the rs4, focus rs, mini jcw, corsa vxr.

congrats on the new car, unlucky for the wait!

it must be the quality of the materials used. obviously in a mini or audi there going to be better made. and there a different design to the recaros in the clio. although the new focus RS shares the same design but there half leather.
