Well to cut a long story short, I went out for a meal Saturday night which I wasn't looking forward too, or better yet deciding whether to even go to.. As we arrived, sitting in the forecourt across from the restraunt car park sat a beautiful 200! To say the least, what an expsensive carvery it turned out to be! Test drove it the following morning and put the deposit down, pick it up a week today!

Has all the goods apart from Recaros which I will more than likely buy & install sooner or later, but really looking forward to getting the mods on the go as it's my first RS of any shape. Just need to sell the other Clio now!

Bet you are glad you went out in the end eh :)

Enjoy the car. I was set on getting a 197 Cup with the Recaro's but in ended up with the standard seats which i find are more than adequate for road driving; very comfy on long journeys and offer good support when you're on a spirited drive.

Yeah was quite a let down but the Nav makes up for it eh! ;)

Haha very glad!

Can't say I've ever sat in 197/200 recaros so can't make judgement on them, but I found the standard seats really comfortable to be fair, didn't expect the bolsters to comfort me as much as they did!

Done some little bits today, got the silver visions off my old car, got the deflectors on, and did an LED upgrade on the rear end. Just waiting for the interior LED bulbs too arrive!

Not a major update, but gave the seat belts a good going over as they were a mess! Used the old wife's tail of bi-carb sodar and vinegar. MINT!

Ordering a new set of shoes in the next couple of weeks too. :)

Need to do my o/s front belt, a little grubby, not as bad as yours though.

Good work!

All the white effect upholstery ie. the belts, bolsters on the seats and steering wheel stitching was so grubby! All have come up well now though. Almost like new!

My steering wheel stitching was horribly dirty! The centre stitching at the top of the wheel was so dirty it was almost brown.. When I scrubbed it & left it, it was actually yellow! Amazing what the stuff does [emoji106]

How did you use the bi-carb soda and vinegar buddy? :)
Click to expand...

Put enough vinegar in to do whatever you need to do, then add the bi-carb until it makes a paste, you don't want it too runny! Then apply and leave for 5 minutes. I then hoover it off and go over it with boiling hot water mixed with an arial clothes liquid and brush it over.. Then rinse it off with a hose and you'll be sorted!

Got my Stuke winglets on today, didn't like the loud STUKE sticker, so replaced it with some tidy Autofinesse ones!

Other than that, just awaiting for my other car to sell before I crack on with the proper mods!

Looks great, I'll be trying the seatbelt trick myself next weekend! Those winglets look good too, wonder what they'd be like on an R26.
