RS 200 Raider Stealth Grey #3/50

[glenn_adam_doble]

As some of you may know i drove a Clio GT DCI with a brilliant spec, The GT was a fantastic car, but i have always wanted an RS so when i found out insurance was becoming realistic on one the search began,

After searching and searching for the right one that could compare to the GT in terms of spec, i came across a RS 200 Raider 3/50 in Stealth Grey with the TomTom, but it was 250 mile away so after nearly two weeks me, my brother and my dad had the time to travel from Teesside to Essex to go see it and when we got there it was stunning, so after purchasing it we set off back home managed to get 35.8 MPG out of it on the journey home only using half a tank which i was very pleased about even coming from a diesel.


About the Raider:


Stealth Grey Paint
18" Interlagos Wheels
Full Leather Interior
Leather Recaros
TomTom
iPod Connectivity
Bluetooth
Cup Chassis
Carbon Badges And Bullets
aswell as the rest of the 200 usual spec


14,000 on the clock the previous owner had only done 2000 mile in the last year,


feels very solid and composed
gearbox selects gears easily no crunchiness


a couple of images from the journey home

and a quick shot with a j_gadd4's UR 200



After a clean to remove the motorway muck, using the Swissvax Opaque Matt Paint Shampoo And Autoglym Super Resin on all the glossy bits inc Wheels and Calipers

the colour is fantastic with so many different colours when caught at different angles with Blues, Greens, Purples, Bronzes all mixed in there, photographs dont do it any justice,


As for mods im still very undecided so we shall see what the future holds but for now i will just enjoy it for what it as it is absolutely fantastic out of the box i couldn't be happier with it[/url][/url][/url]

Thanks! I wouldn't mind debadging it but I'm worried that the sticky of the badges have flattend the paint under Neath so dearth risk taking them off

That was for sale just down the road to me in Chelmsford, the best colour to have and cheap compared to the one for sale in Bury St Edmunds, its done a few miles for a year old though which put us off a bit. The 35.8 mpg is good mine never goes above 27mpg even if i drive slow, use dental floss to remove the clio and some warm water and it should be fine. Love them RS wheel centres :approve:

 

[Cub.]

there really isn't much different I have drove my mates 200 with speedlines and no cup pack and they were not night and day apart

 

[Lawro]

That is beautiful! Enjoy.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Really like these, I've said it before but the GT sopoiler really opulls the rear of the car together!

 

[TonkaTruck]

Love it! Putting your private plate on?

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Love it! Putting your private plate on?

Cheers, yeah I will be, haven't had the time to get it transferred yet unfortunately

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Gave the raider a deep clean, using the Swissvax Opaque kit and Meguires cleaner wax and tyre gel, also took the wheels off and cleaned the arches out as well a inside the alloys keeping it looking fresh, final pictures below including my brothers RS LY 200 GT And my Silver GT

 

[.Stevo.C.]

I really want your wheels for my 225.

 

[Poopensharten]

How do you wash it (serious question)?

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

How do you wash it (serious question)?

rinse down with hose pipe as pressure washers are to harsh on it, then use the swissvax opaque car bath that is formulated for matt paints in conjunction with a wash mitt,

i use the Swissvax Pre-cleaner on greasy spots (ie Tyre Gel) and tar spots,

i havent had chance to wax it yet with the opaque wax but you just apply that in the same manner as you would with a gloss car using a applicator pad,

i dry it with a drying towel and then go over it with a microfibre cloth to remove any excess water to reduce water spots but it comes up brilliantly with so much easy id say easier than a gloss finish car

 

[Beef-Mc]

So much love for the car, only the washing technique would upset me.

cheers mate, yeah the Recaros are full leather as are the back seat, the door cards are also stiched leather to suit

 

[jesus]

Brilliant. They look properly comfy!

 

[MancmanRS200]

Gorgeous car possible the best I've seen, does the RS proud looks a proper one, maybe some carbon exhaust tips in the diffuser keep it looking proper stealth.

they are already on the definite list to get, also contemplating getting the full front end kit from streamline carbon, which includes front bumper, F1 blade, Fog light surrounds and lower splitter, albeit a Carbon Raider Edition

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

decided to cut a Recaro sticker out for the seat in carbon vinyl,which i think looks superb need, i want to add something that show the cars edition number but dont know what to do, any suggestion ?

i have a vinyl cutter so anything is possible really
