New soon to be raider owner

[Hazzagray]

Hi guys, new to this forum as you can probably already gather! I'm Harry, 23 from Surrey!

Will be buying in the next couple of days an rs200 raider in Diavolo red! It will be my first Renault, previously owned and built jap imports with turbos!

I have been offered an awesome deal for the car so I will add pics when I get it! Any inherent problems I should look for even considering its new?

Cheers and I look forward to gaining knowledge and maybe even meeting a few of you!

Update!

Bought one today in stealth grey, no 6/50! Picking it up Monday!

 

[Dave Hester]

Got excited for a minute thinking u bought a 5gt turbo

 

[Hazzagray]

It would be good if I could find an original 5 gt raider!

 

[.Kev.]

Welcome!

6/50 bet that cost a bomb.

 

[Hazzagray]

It wasn't too bad actually mate, I'm a tad lucky in that my company paid a bit towards it as well! I'm just getting all giddy as I really want to drive it now!

 

[leeds_182]

Nice mate, get some pictures up when you get it.

Also thought you meant a R5 raider (love those!) but I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of your new 200!

 

[martysph1]

My mates got a Renault 5 gt turbo raider, it's sitting at the bottom of his pals garden! Such a shame!

 

[Josh Youare]

I love the new raiders. Need pics

 

[Goodj]

did you go for Sat nav or the y0! meter?

 

[Tommo.]

Welcome

 

[Hazzagray]

I went for the monitor, seems pointless with the sat nav! Cheers gus! Just been reading up on detailing the matte paint.... It's Gunnar be fun! I have a few photo's on my iPad however I am baffled on how to get them on here!

 

[leeds_182]

Photo bucket app.

 

[Hazzagray]

Pick her up on Monday!

 

[Sanders]

Oooh i like that, still unsure on the alloys though

 

[R-Sport.]

nice colour-

Some speedlines & a cup spoiler will make it perfect- sell the gash wheels to Meggy R26 wannabe R26R owners-

S

 

[jenic]

That colour is awesome!

Agree with Steve on the wheels + spoiler

 

[R-Sport.]

also I saw a red one the other day- the raider badges look like they have been stuck on by a child!

S

 

[Hazzagray]

The colour is gunna be a b**ch to clean but I have just bought some swissvax matte wax etc

I quite like the wheels but I will see how I get on with them, they the wheels off a meg r26r then? I'm still new to the Renault game!

 

[Hazzagray]

I'm not sure the spoiler is even an option on these or I def would have had it!

The internal sticker is ok, the others are like one of those 3d stickers that kids get!

 

[rs 1an]

i love the grey colour, will be in for one soon,:race: be sure to post up what its like

 

[Hazzagray]

Will do mate! Im literally jizzing my pants to pick it up!

 

[ColinG]

Love that! Don't listen to the wheel haters! Looks perfect! Some kind of spoiler would set it off though!

 

[Hazzagray]

I agree, I think the clios look best with a spoiler! May look to that in the future! I do like the wheels though.

 

[Kieran..]

love matt grey, but as said the wheels are a no no for me

 

[Carbonraider]

Just come away from Renault Chester today being the new owner of No.4 but I thought I'd wait till march 1st to register it on a 12plate just hope renault look after it :/

 

[Jamie]

I really like the wheels - I wouldn't be changing them.

 

[leeds_182]

Looks better then in the press photos. I like it.

 

[Stevo!]

Yeah press photos made it look like a shi**y boy racer type 200.

 

[Hazzagray]

Well a thousand miles in and I love it! Does like to kangaroo in first though! It's due it's first real wax as soon as my swissvax turns up! May also be looking at an akrapovic system for her as well!

 

[Gally]

They still have kangarooing issues! Jeez! I remember the 197 having those issues after release! That was in 06!

 

[lewisflintham]

Looks amazin. Leave it how it should be. I like the subtle spoiler too. Shame they haven't sorted it being so jerky when cold. You feel like a bit of a prat cruising down the road like it's the first time you've driven a car. Only thing you can do is don't ease of the throttle unless you're gonna put the clutch in. People say 97 98 fuel helps but I don't reckon it really does that much. The only positive of it being cold is all the induction noise...although it feels like you've got the handbrake on ;-) Enjoy.

Wowee. Looks amazing.
