Quick update of my Gordini 200

At least your happy, but it just doesnt work for me looks far to busy and there is to many colours going on, if you got rif od all the white bits then would look smart, but then again would just look like a normal 200, without recaros :S

i like the spolier though
 
UPDATES

Xenon white LED's were fitted throughout the car but the interior shots cam out very dark. Here are the number plates lights for the time being:

Ben (aka bmh.01) fitted my 6k HID's a couple of weeks ago, Kudos to him as it was about -7 and snowing pretty heavily.

LOL!

I don't mean to be rude, but I just don't see how anyone would pay £2.5k more for the ugliest RS ever. There are people in this thread who payed ~£15k and got a fully-loaded regular, Cupped 200. It's MENTAL.

Not to mention the fact you've spend £xxx's on the Speedlines, plus spraying the gashy white bits. :S

Perhaps he has more money to spend than you do and therefore doesn't give a toss.
 
Im starting to like this. The wheels are the worst thing about the Gordini but you have sorted that...
 
It's the side vents that get me. It's like some idiot looked at all the chavmobile sheds on PH with flakey poorly painted silver front grills and thought "Now THAT's a proper modification, let's do that to a £17k brand new car". Hideous. That's before you even get to the G's on the stripes.

It's good you're working to make it look decent though, you'll end up with the best looking Gordini on the site at least.
 
Liam I reckon you should have gone for white speedlines! Then the white 'fin' wouldn't look so out of place then. The black wheels don't really match with anything other than the front bumper insert.

I'm not making any judgements yet, I'm sure in time you'll have it up to scratch
 
cars looking amazing! i was just wondering would you b able to send me a link to the place u bought ur rear numberplate lights ? thanks :)
 
Ive just got 6k's for mine. Looking for a bit of guidance as to what i need to unscrew if you cud ask ur mate to pm me. Cheers mate, Lew

Saw a couple of Gordinis with white wheels and I'm 50/50 about them.. black definitely looks better though. We'll have to meet up sometime so you can have a butchers.

Yours will be different if you have a mk2. You need the bayonet fitment.. have a search in eBay pal.

Just saw these posts Lew, if you send me your email I'll send you the guide. Really easy to do like the 182.
 
UPDATE:

From before I bought the car I wondered why it was such a high number (No. 434) when every other Gordini on the forums were under number 100. Actually, the Gordini on show at WSR was one number off mine.. number 435 iirc.

I got on to Renault UK and asked them if they could find out about my query. I received an update today that explained why.

The Gordinis are given a number when they are built and then when they come into England they are reassigned a UK number. Mine was supposedly 'missed' and they have offered to to give it another number.

I have requested to keep number 434 and another Gordini not to be giving this number. It might be a bit anal but 4+3+4 = 11 which is my lucky number LOL.
 
gotta admit seen the gordinin in the flesh, drove the gordini and love them, however imo id lose the stripes thats my only prob with it

My heart is telling me to take them off but my head is saying keep them on for re sale value.

That was my plan but I really think it's going to be left as it is now. Bulbs were off a company on eBay, 360 degree with about 7 LEDs on each.
 
I meant I quite like the other white touches which some people don't, that was the reason for the run comment lol. The blue paintwork is gorgeous when clean and shiney.
 
I'd leave it as it is. I love the blue, black and white combo, it looks amazing with those speedlines as well, much better than the originals.

Looks amazing!

High 5! The only other thing changing are the grilles above the wheels, I'll be spraying them black as soon as possible.

Get rid of the stripes, aero thingy black, ditto mirrors and side grills. You'll then have the best looking Gordini in the country.

Ps. Heard you were at BTM, like my new car;)
 
Crippin you f**king muppet!

Only thing changing for sure are the grilles above the wheels at the moment.. they'll be sprayed black, hopefully by the end of the month.
