Pulling the head off it whilst sitting in his Recaro's probably.

Hiiiiiiii.
Just got back in now.
Proper car though. Everything I hoped for.
Only one pic for now, more at the weekend once it's been DA'd.
Got my plain plates, KP sticker and Senna sticker on it. Also removed the Arnold Clark and NCAP stickers and tax disc holder. Removed the CLIO badge too.
Not bad for day one.
No pics of the front until it's running it's HIDs.

I did mate, then moved to Castlefield before splitting up with the Mrs last month.
Cheers for the comments everyone! I'm still grinning like a mentalist.

Got to say UR looks a million times better in the flesh, and that spoiler was 100% the right choice.
RS monitor is proper nerdy, I think I could sit for hours playing with it.
Cheers for the passenger ride tonight, those seats are immense, bit of a struggle getting out though!
Sounds well for a standard exhaust too!

Got to say, that angle, in that colour... It looks as mean as f*ck.
Nice one Christopher, glad it's finally arrived.

Looks great mate.
Just out of interest, had they cleaned it / left any swirls?

They're great cars. Looks brilliant in UR as well! Nice to finally see one with a proper spec; there are so many for sale that fail miserably on the spec that its original owner chose. If you're spending a few bob on a brand new car, you may as well do it properly and not be tight on the options list! Recaros and Speedlines are essential. It's going to look great with its HIDs fitted!
On another note, it's unreal how time can change perceptions of a car's looks. When the 200 came out, I detested its looks, as did many others. Now, every single time I see one on the road I think they're properly good looking! Handling's on another level too, dare I say it I think it's even better than the Trophy.

Front end still looks like a 197 after a stroke. It's certainly a grower though.

I don't mind the front end of the 200's
Overall a great car!

I really like them, the mismatching panel would irritate me for a little while, but other than that, I think they look mean!
Looks smart Chris.
I'm warming to these now, saw one in RB the other day, looked epicly nice.
If the £200/month deal comes back, I'll be all over one tbh.

Its not.
Extra grip does not necessarily mean better handling
Bingo.
A Mk1 MX-5 is better than either for that exact reason.
If anything, the 200 has too much grip; it's insane. The Trophy is far more raw though, and more exploitable on the throttle, so most of the time it's more fun.
The 200 is still an awesome drive though... I still can't get over how mental the ratios are, coming from the Mk2 world it's crazy!

I prefer the 200 to the 197's looks too. The 200's front end is ugly, but in a sort of loveable, characterful way. lol.
Aside from the front of a 197, the rest of the car looks so weak in comparison to the 200. They've lots of presence even in standard trim.

Cheers mate. I need to line up some baller-spec mods now.

They are incredible arent they!! Brilliant box imho, except for when you want to sit at 85 lol ...
If i could fit the box in the Trophy i would.
Purely out of interest, what are they like at 70? Compared to a 182 in 5th at 70?
