UR 200... After cleaning session.

[V9 GSW]

Had a few hours spare this afternoon so decided to give the 200 a good clean and wax.

Car is a standard 200FF, really the only modification I have made so far is the RS badge on the steering wheel.

On reflection Recaro's would probably have been a good shout as although a 1k option I would probably have made that back on re-sale... you live you learn eh.

Love my standard wheels in gloss black and will not be swayed towards speedlines... haha!!

Thinking of a black 'gloss vinyl' roof and a K-Tec 'Sprint' Spoiler... what are peoples thoughts on these mods...?

Cheers.

Looks lovely, one of my favourite colours on the 197 & 200.

Personally I wouldn't go for a black roof.

 

[Harpham]

Sexual!!

 

[Austin-182]

Brilliant, really nice clio!

 

[JCC]

Lovely. Don't get a black roof, go hero spec with a black Cup spoiler!

Also, you sure you can't be tempted with Speedlines? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...-Speedlines-Projectors-RS-Steering-Wheel-trim

 

[JamesT87]

Looks awesome! Have fun with it! There fantastic cars now, so much more refined than the mk2.

That is superb. Looks well in red. IMO no to the roof but yes to the spoiler.

 

[Will.]

That looks amazing. I love this colour.

 

[GeorgeH]

Looks really good that, just needs a cup spoiler, red with black ends. Done.

 

[Kris86]

lovely car but orange peel paint is bad on that? Id have to get that sanded down and machine polished!

Or is it just me? Some parts look fine, the boot looks like it has it though?

 

[Christopher]

Love it.

Lots of love for Ultra Red on here lately!

I was hoping it'd stay rare so mine will be worth a little more. Lol

 

[Marky_]

K-tec spoiler is a winner in my book. Not sure about the black roof. I take it that'd be a wrap?

 

[Christopher]

It's painted if you ordered it from the factory. Wrapped if not.

 

[Marky_]

Ahh. I definitely wouldn't spec it but I would be tempted by the wrap as it's not permanent.

 

[Jamie]

Do the R27 wheels fit on 200's - as I think they would look really good.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Stunning motor! Best colour for a 200 imo, i would defo get one in UR if i had the moneyzz. The ktec spoiler would look awesome on there, i would leave the roof the way it is.

 

[Adamm.]

Wow such a vibrant red that, mega jealous of this mate.

 

[VIICarCare]

oooh now thats sexy!

 

[Christopher]

Threads with clean UR 200's annoy me. :dapprove:

Lol.

 

[V9 GSW]

Thanks for the comments guys, had her since October and still get that buzz every time I get behind the wheel...

Jury is still out on the roof, but thinking a spoiler is definitely on the cards, however I think I'll be going for something relatively subtle ruling out the cup spoiler as an option.

Chris mate, I've been drooling over your 'fisher price rocket' for years, I'm sure your UR200 will be just a spectacular given time

 

[Keith185]

That looks so awesome

 

[hippy]

very nice keep roof as is looks better

 

[James28]

Looks utterly gorgeous. !

 

[.GAZ.]

Wheels look well on the UR200's.

Love it.

 

[CabinFever]

Makes me miss my UR 200 a little. Looks superb. Could do with losing the CLIO badge.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

That is bloody lovely....!!! Red and black is a killer combo! My personal preference would be a spoiler to finish it off but a gorgeous car none the less!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ash87]

looks nice, std wheels look alright on it too

 

[fez]

absolute beauty!!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks ace. UR is FTW!! Although i'd be tempted to leave it a bit dirtier/take pictures further back with that much orange peel

Lack of Recaros/Speedlines does make me a little sad though.

 

[V9 GSW]

Cheers for all the positive comments... I do luuurve my UR200

Can some do me a favour and clarify what I can do about the 'Orange Peel'.... I bought the car brand new in October and assumed that the paintwork finish would have been flawless from the factory...?

I keep my cars clean but do not claim to be a detaling expert so any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!!

 

[walkie86]

Awesome! Love these in red and IMO those wheels in gloss black look better than Speedlines as they're something different

IMO you need lows to pull off a spoiler and I reckon a gloss black roof would look awesome, and really tie in with the red and black theme.

Oh and lose the CLIO badge

 

[Stefan.]

gt spoiler and lose the 'clio' badge and its pukka

 

[Christopher]

Yup. I'm ditching the Clio badge ASAP on mine. Looks much cleaner at the back then.

Did the same on the 133.

 

[Kris86]

to get rid of the "orange peel" effect id first be contacting renault and say the paintwork is crap and you want a contribution towards the cost of putting it right as you dont expect to spend £14k+ on a car with paintwork not perfect.

To get rid of it it needs to be wet sanded then machine polished by someone like russZS on here, proper detailer.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Threads with clean UR 200's annoy me. :dapprove:

Lol.

More threads like this required until you get yours tbh

Car looks great, they really do look amazing in UR when clean! Renault paint is a bit shocking sometimes though, that boot needs a going over >.<

 

[Iain 007]

A decent layer of wax on the boot will pretty much sort out the orange peel, Well until it gets a proper going over with a machine polisher etc.

That's what I did.

This photo is mainly for annoying chris.

 

[Christopher]

FU.

Do they come with ContiSport Contact 3's like the 133 did?

 

[Iain 007]

FU.

Do they come with ContiSport Contact 3's like the 133 did?

Mine did, Pretty sure they all do. Except the Raider, that comes with bridgestones iirc.

 

[Christopher]

Ahh right cool, cheers.

 

[V9 GSW]

Think I might give Renault a shout... what's the worst they can say.

Anyone got a ballpark figure for sorting out the paintwork...?

Looking good Iain mate
