Best spoiler by a country mile for these.

Lowering on springs is pointless on a car like this, aside from 'stance' of course.

How'd you work that one out then?

I agree it's all about the look, but it does improve handling to some extent, albeit at the loss of comfort.

Looks awesome fella!
Lovely 
Spoiler looks brilliant.
Agreed with the H&R springs though, look ace.
No spacers though, tat.

Looks awesome, but IMO they look totally lost without spacers. Like the body is way too big for the chassis. Springs without spacers exaggerates it! Lol.
Look at a X85 Cup car. Oh, they run spacers by the way. >.<
Having lived with mine on 25mm H&R's and 25mm H&R spacers for six months, there's zero down sides. The ride is more fidgety around town and it tramlines slightly more, but that really is it.
Hardly a car-ruining trait. A tiny sacrifice for a what you get back in looks.

Hugely exciting update:
Lost a center cap
Thanks to adam at wolverhampton renault for sorting me out with a new one!
Just got to 10k miles too. Loved every mile!
Unfortunately after 10k, one 'ring trip and one llandow day, two front tyres are needed. Back to the Nurburgring in September

Managed to get 11.5k from the front tyres. Not too bad considering that includes 5 'ring laps and a day at Llandow. Ordered Bridgestone RE050A's and had them fitted today.
They are the tyres that renault used on the megane trophy for the fwd record at the 'ring so must be ok
Booked in for first service and 'ring trip in 27 days

Haven't updated since last year.
The Bridgestones are very good, better ride quality than the continentals and better grip too.
Last years 'ring trip was very good, hired an Exige from RSR for a road tour, but was glad to be back in the clio after

Getting better on fuel now with 15k on it and not using any oil.
Also had a little CS/pistonheads driving meet last year, was good fun

Wow really? I can think of a couple that look nicer, especially yellow or alien green but I don't think I could own one in such a bright colour.

I've heard mixed reviews about the re050a's. Good to know you're enjoying them
Suzuki Jimny
They really are spot on, even in the wet. I remember the days I used to think Toyo tyres were good pmsl.

Toyo Proxes, £35 a corner on the GTI. Weren't bad for the money!!

Is that more or less than contis from there? Can't remember if they're £100 or £150

Time for a little update. Had it for two years now, the longest i've ever kept a car being my 172 cup for 18 months, so obviously quite like the 200!
Had another 'ring trip at the start of october, epic as per usual!
Here it is parked up in Adenau:
Then went along to the welsh meet a coupe of weeks back
Up to 23,000 miles now and only had to replace two tyres and a missing centre cap. Good car

Nice car.
Id love to do a few trips to Wales and the ring in a 200. Perfect car for it
