Official 197 Bits

[Englebert]

Taken from the Autosport show today. Not sure if they add anything myself.

Chin spoiler:

Side skirt:

Cup spoiler:

Full view:

Quite like 'Nimbus Grey' (note Turinis on this 'R3'):

Always looks good in white:

The blue car had the Recaros in. Have to say they felt great to sit in, really hugged me and i have a small frame. Also like the chunky steering wheel...

I sat in the R26 Megane and it felt no smaller from the driver's seat! Plastics were not in the same class as the Clios.

 

[CJ]

The nimbus grey is tres bien.

 

[Fred@BTM]

see what i mean about the spoilers, it has ram raided halfords!!!

uber tacky carbon fibre look too

 

[Englebert]

Yeah, shame its fake carbon especially!

Just Googled the R3 model:

[seb]

don't like those add on's at all. especially the spoiler. uber chavtastic imo.

nice colours though.

 

[Fred@BTM]

those white speedline wheels are rank! (on the road car)

 

[CJ]

They look like lego wheels.

 

[Fletcher]

That spolier looks crap imo.

 

[davejm123]

i like the R3, the add-ons on the cup arent for me

by the way whats that big scoop on the roof for? yuck

 

[fUbAr]

i'll have a standard model in nimbus grey please...

 

[cli0 172]

this thread is like reading a thread a year ago about the 197 itself

 

[alexbleubolt]

mmm, i like them all, maybe time to sell the cup and save up

 

[RobHardyUK]

I actually quite like the spoiler, considering its got end plates i dont think its a bad go. I am not sure on the carbon stuff though.

 

[Gaz]

i'll look sunday and let u no

 

[Adam]

i think it looks pretty good

 

[rcp]

Looks lovely in grey...

 

[Gareth]

oh my god! uber shat, all of it!

 

[TheCake]

Yup loving that now. Looks game. Will no doubt soon be available from Ktec in real carbon fibre... David are you listening? group buy? hello?

 

[Ali]

I was there today aswell!

I quite likked the splitter. But that was it. And the girls on the falken stand!

 

[cat171]

Oh dear, those add ons look rubbish !

 

[Munson]

The rear spoiler has some potential for a Cup version, but the other bits look dross IMO.

 

[ukaskew]

by the way whats that big scoop on the roof for? yuck

Simply allows fresh air into the cabin iirc.

 

[Gaz_]

think the white turinis woud have been a better option

 

[Christopher]

what the fook are renault playing at?!

they make a much more mature car than the 182 and then commission employees of Staines McDonalds to design aero add-ons

hate it

 

[sh33n]

Not keen on the add on's, car looks nice as is, a bigger spoiler would be nice, similar to the 172 cup style though.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Finally I've seen what racing blue and the speedlines look like, I'm liking that alot

 

[Darkeffekt]

Look great with the dynamo blue That would be better in 18 inch with eibach :evil:

 

[gaz44]

All nice apart from spoiler. It spoils it.

 

[Dubai182]

Wow that white one is fit! Same as the one thats just completed the Dubai 24hr.

 

[Leeds_VTO]

not liking the add ons wheels arnt to bad would look much better if it sat 35mm lower (same height as race version) dont want to sound stupid but whats all this R3 buisness

 

[ADY 554D]

think renault have some work to do there dont like any of those add ons.. how come none of them look intergrated with the rest of the car surely they should not look like some chav has just bolted them on

 

[Mikey]

that cup soiler is tha shiz! the lil cup racers are cool too, im going tommorow, will have to get me a sit in one of those beast's!!

 

[R20 CWH]

cup spoiler looks plain awful!

white alloys look guid on white car, would be nice to see that and the grey available soon, with similar grafix as the R26

 

[Rich]

The spoiler looked ok imo, except it was fake carbon looks rather than colour coded as on the race car.

The other skirt and splitter add ones looked shite.

 

[Clio172-DK]

I would like to try the Clio III cup.. it's from 0 - 100 km/h in 4,1 sec!!

 

[R20 CWH]

why upturn the splitter, thats so max power 90s style. Surprised there isnt wee struts holding it up

a simple splitter as per the 172/ 183 cup style would suffice. Thats why its a popular mod, same goes for cup/ v6 spoilers.

Theyve made a mess of those mods, but at the mo the 90s styling seems to be coming back in with the corsa VXR and leon FR/ cupra bodykit styling having flashes of cut outs and in takes in weird places.

 

[Rich]

The side skirts where the worst bit

 

[ukaskew]

dont want to sound stupid but whats all this R3 buisness

It's basically the version that privateers etc can buy, an off-the-shelf rally car essentially. 'R3' is the name of a rally class (like Super 1600, WRC etc)

 

[Ad]

I think the extras would look loads better fully colour coded.

 

[Munson]

They might want to think about making the road car as fast as they are trying to make it look. [/broken record]
