LY 200 EDC pics.

[peedee]

Thought I'd post some half decent pics up of my clio. Just to avert any confusion, this is not a 1.2, however, I can see how the LY paint, gloss black 18's, big breaks, twin exhausts, different front and rear bumpers, differently placed DRL's, 'rs' badges all over it etc etc is easily confused with a 1.2.

Anyway (;-), its a 200 EDC lux with cup pack. All comments welcome, positive and negative! Cheers!

Don't know why they bothered trying to hide the rear doors. It would look better proportioned with proper door handles IMO. Nice car though.

 

[Matthew]

Looks great from every angle other than the front IMO.

Looking at the front pictures again, I think it's how the bodywork cuts away under the Renault badge so sharp. Think that's what I'm not keen on.

The rest though, all good!

 

[Inequality Street]

Impressive for a 1.2

 

[rs 1an]

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Well said :up:

Look's amazing, LY is the only really colour which make's it stand out for what it is, and i really doe's look good!, there's a White one knocking around not far from me and the first time i saw it i only knew it what it was, as it had the 'RS' badge on the front, Renault really should have brought it out in some more lairy colours like the Mk3 200.

 

[MarkCup]

Looks very nice, I'd be in one now if only Renault had the most basic grasp of how to sell cars 18 months ago.

 

[jesus]

Looks mean! Nice colour combo too.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Smart mate! Have always really liked them.

 

[ColinG]

I've only seen 2 ever on the road, and one was French registered.. They must have been a massive flop surely??

Ill be there in my mapped T See how quickly be can break the gearbox with too much torque hahah

 

[Knuckles]

You can put an RS badge and black wheels on anything, and i see red brakes, not big ones :blush:

The car looks nice and clean though :smile:

 

[Gaz_]

spot on for glittery gold

I love the 1.2 comments from people driving 172's that to the untrained eye look like dynamiques

 

[CrippsCorner]

I think you've managed to polish a turd there!

Would love to see one on the road one day, I see you're from Essex so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

They're bigger than yours

And much bigger than the Fiesta ST poverty spec brakes

 

[Matthew]

The Fiesta brakes are bloody good. I'm sure @MarkCup will testify to that with his track experience

 

[MarkCup]

Yep. Just LOL at poverty spec. I spent hundreds on my 172 Cup to get close to what the ST has as standard. They may not be big, but the pad compound is ST specific and in a nutshell they're fcuking amazing for standard brakes.

Even the normal Fiestas have amazing brakes for some reason. I was driving one we have at work and thought I'd test them out. I nearly went through the f**king windscreen!

They're all like that, over-servoed in the extreme.

It's their resistance to fade, lack of dust, pedal feel, and the fact that I've now done more than 30k miles on the original set that makes them a no brainer when it comes to replacement.

 

[Matthew]

If anything they are over-assisted and too good.

Edit - Mark beat me too it

 

[Stevo!]

Fairly sure everyone that has a 200T that has previously had a 200 or 197 says the brakes are on par or if not better than the 4 pot brembo's.. Granted though they don't look anywhere near as good though.

The session I had as a passenger in a Renault press car around Goodwood backed that up for me. She was full on them for the entire session.

But that's not good enough for most because they absolutely positively can't accept that brakes are any good if there's no 'Brembo' logo on them.

Precisely..

 

[Gaz_]

Really like that.

Wrong colour for me though.

For me, black the 'blade', lose the 'RS' badge at the front, wee drop, and maybe black the door strips at the bottom......

Some Brembos to complete the 'look', done. ^ If that was a manual i'd be all over that......

But then i'm more of a less is more type of guy.....

 

[Knuckles]

They're bigger than yours :wink:

Does the 200t use four pots as well?

I thought they did away with those for this model.

 

[Starlet_gt]

Absolutely love that. Definitely a car I'll look at in the future.

 

[Rob]

I'm not a fan, but I'd love a ride out in one.

 

[jesus]

Lol at arguing about brakes.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

The styling does nothing for me at all, to me it's not a Clio! BUT I do bloody love that colour!!! :smile:

 

[Inequality Street]

Lol at arguing about brakes.

Yep. Just Stop.
(Lol)

 

[peedee]

Ha, definately seems to be splitting opinion, but good to see its all constructive!

I will deffo be at the North Weald meet on Sunday morning so will see you guys there! Keep the chat coming though, I'm enjoying reading it!

 

[Ph1 Tom]

No, but the discs and pad area are bigger. They use the same 4 pots as the meg/clio on the new cup racer though.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

I like it tbh. A slight drop would enhance my like even more.

 

[peedee]

Just another from the front.

Trying to sway the haters LOL!!

 

[Knuckles]

I might not have so much hate for the aethstetics if they got the wings right.

Standard wings for the loss... Even stuck on arches like the Meg 250 and twingo would make it so much better.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

These are awesome cars. I was lucky enough to get a good drive in one a couple of weeks ago.

I was a little dubious of the auto box before driving it but I needn't have been. It just works so well. It's the type of car guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you get in it.

They feel very quick and the handling is awesome.

It's also very comfy and the interior is much more spacious than the ST.

Although the styling lets it down a bit I'd have one in a heartbeat if I was looking for a new car.

Looking forward to seeing this at North Weald in the morning.
