That's the last time I follow a Clio 200 along a twisty B-road..

Wednesday night after the Meadows meet, I had a epic blast back along some great B-roads behind a new Clio 200..










However this is the aftermath of the front end of the 172..

Huge stone chip on a fairly new windscreen.

I was expecting a pic of you off-roading through a field! Get the windscreen for £50 off your insurance most prob. I have a smashed fog too, never replaced it tbh. Well, cracked not smashed.

Yes mate one of the best drives I've had in the old girl yet TBH ;)

The annoying thing is when the stone hit the windscreen I was only going slowly towards a roundabout

Wow..that is pretty bad damage!

Whereabouts on the windscreen is the chip?

The windscreen chip isn't far from the tax disc, so it should be a easy fix :)

Yeah, my 197 seemed to be with the few encounters i had, although when steve had my old Cup, i'm sure that would have ripped the 197 a new one with the small tussle we had. Traffic killed the encounter :(

Put the black tape back on your fogs mate as that looked good. If the chip is near the tax discs they should be able to repair it free on insurance.

I'd say so, yes.

However the 200 in question had only done about 1,000 miles and the owner (Matt) had only had it a couple of days.

God knows why some people think the 197-200s are slower than 172/82s in my expericene they have all been pretty quick!

yeah it doesnt go too badly tbh. had a quick play in it today.

Done almost 8.5k and no one ever wants to play. Maybe they just don't want that front end in there rear view :(
