My new Storm Grey Clio 200 Cup

[JoshE]

So, about a month ago I sold the Trophy, it went to a member on here so I'm sure it will be looked after well. Was originally looking at getting something abit more economical but when this 60 plate storm grey 200 cup came onto pistonheads, and it was local, I just couldn't resist it... Cup model, with GT spoiler, projector headlights and recaros. Its had the center silencer removed so has a nice rasp to it, but not too intrusive. Only thing I think I might miss compared to my trophy is the lack of aircon. So far I'm loving it, feels even more planted than the trophy. Plans are for a remap by RSTuning (to solve the 2.5k flat spot issue) and maybe an Akrapovic exhaust when funds allow it. Anyway, heres some quick pics...

Someone round my way has a Storm Grey, catches my eye every time It passes me.

[Ged]

Fav 200 colour. such a special colour :')

 

[.GAZ.]

p**n.

 

[Brian]

Brilliant. Renault should never have ditched this colour tbh

You need to sort the centre caps too!

 

[JoshE]

Yeah it is screaming out for black centre caps, but not at £25 a corner from renault. Will have to source some from elsewhere I think.

Best colour. Good purchase.

I couldn't buy a cup personally but still an epic choice.

Definitely. Every time I see these centre caps, I can't quite believe that Renault thought it was acceptable. I'd love to know the actual excuse they have!

 

[Adam.]

Epic colour.

And lol @ the centercap issue. I managed to get a set from Renault FOC after a quick chat with RUK. Although I had to give them the part number as they are actually off a Megane iirc.

 

[Cerrone]

I love storm Gray 100% best colour!

 

[Kieran..]

Best colour on a 200!

 

[Eddie.]

Easily, the nicest colour for a 200.

Looks really nice mate

 

[Christopher]

Awesome.

I was gutted that I couldn't spec it on mine... bloody Renault.

I'm not sure I could live with a Cup, but everything else is spot on!

 

[GSKingsbury]

That colour is amazing !! Really nice looking motor fella but there is just some thing im not sure about with the front end.

 

[Philip.]

Oh my, funking love Storms

 

[Hixle]

Looks brilliant mate. How are you finding it compared to the Trophy?

 

[Richyy182]

Utter filth

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good. SG is such a great colour.

 

[RichC]

I very nearly bought this but realised no air con! Found a GW with AC and Bluetooth with 8k miles on for same price but gotta love the colour looks fantastic.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Awesome pal! lovely spec indeed.

 

[JoshE]

Looks brilliant mate. How are you finding it compared to the Trophy?

Cheers Luke, to be honest it doesn't feel quite as quick as the trophy, I guess its just a lot more refined and a heavier car. But it definitely handles as well if not better! The mk3 interior is a much better place to be in, more spacious etc.

Rich, it was the colour that really sold it to me! I realise it wasn't the best priced example and with fairly high miles but its been really well looked after, detailed regularly and serviced on the dot when required by BTM.
