[DanFreemanPhoto]

Never mind the front end, what about that rear end!!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks like it was a good trip.

 

[davesport172]

[Naith]

i like the new 200, even though i know i shouldnt :quiet:

 

[fUbAr]

thats my mind made up, I won't be buying another RS clio for a long time. Design team need to go back to school.

nice pics, was waiting for someone to get back and post these up

 

[DrR]

Lol at your "spying through the bars" picture.

Don't think the MD enjoyed me telling him i didn't like the 200s exhaust pipes over dinner.

 

[.Gem.]

Lucky lot! Bet that was fab!

Not keen on the black fronty bit on the new ones tho :S

Like the minty green colour!

 

[JR]

After the Factory tour we went for lunch at a resturant owned by Renault, and had a meat feast.They had racing blue paint on the outside and car carpet on the walls:S

 

[BREMBO]

New 200 looks terrible

Was V6 number 1 there for the MkI and II ?

Eye test, you need one.

 

[Nick_P]

Thats some interesting colour choice for the building, ha

 

[BIG jts]

No v6 clios.

If you've seen all those pics of cars in a warehouse its not here,its a different factory in france.

 

[ForceIndia]

Love the green, hate the new front end. Rivalling the Hyundai coupe as worst facelift ever.

 

[Chrisjk]

Looks like a good time, Neil is a hunk

 

[riz]

Bird with big jugs and no hands, immense tit w4nks FTW

 

[VeinAST]

Nice! Loving the liquid yellow!

 

[BIG jts]

 

[richy22]

Who's car is that?? And any idea what shade yellow that is on the badges??

(before anyone says Yellow I mean broom yellow etc!)


The new sport looks s**t I think. What are manufacturers smoking these days to come up with all this bolloxs?!

 

[GazM]

Looks like a good trip. Love that Nimbus 197 too

I like the yellellow one, it reminds me of the old spider in a way.

The green one needs black wheels badly, gt3 rs stylee!

great shots john, like the rolling shots

 

[Marky_]

They give you dinner as well? Mint.

 

[Tigger]

Good pics

I like that but they should of finished the bumper instead of painting the gravel bucket

 

[riz]

LOL @ GRavel bucket

 

[VIICarCare]

that front end is cack :dapprove:

 

[WILLIE]

Great pictures. Sadly the 200 is shizzle.

 

[fUbAr]

Ive been looking at the pics of the 200 trying to work out what it is that looks bad... and I've just realised.

The front looks like a 197 looking in one of those fairground mirrors which stretches things out of proportion. The whole front end looks far too long and 'pointy' :dapprove:

 

[Gaz_]

Phase 1 197 ftw!!!

 

[jester84]

I like the rs 200 in white with the black bits, but the numberplates will spoil the shape, as for the exhausts they look like they have come straight from halfords.

I love the way that the social club, was painted with racing blue

 

[Ads_172]

Cool piccies, the rolling shots always look so much cooler than static!

The general consensus was that the front end looks odd, and a few people made sure that the RenaultSport people knew about it... ill-fitting suit, odd-shoe man wasn't particularly impressed and subsequently thought we were all going to key each and every car, c**k.

The fact that it has no grill is what makes it look so strange and feminine, along with what look to be thinner, softer lights. The black bit would look fine if the front end was aggressive enough.

Fantastic few days away, but it was most certainly the company that made it so good... the factory tour felt like just a small part of the overall break.
