What options on 200 cup?

[Jasey]

Nobody will convince me otherwise, you take the hit when you order the car 1k or whatever, it'll be invaluable imo when it comes to selling time.

Most folk who buy new cars chop in their old cars when getting their next new one.

I'm pretty sure Trade in values won't be £1k out for recaros in 2/3 years.

More important the older it gets - but of course by then the Clio Recaros would have fallen apart to nothing and you'll need to shell out £3.5k to get them replaced .

 

[Louism]

Mine was around 15k FF+cup Plus black speedlines +yellow interior

Dont know about finance on them.

I wish i had gone for the spoiler as its costing me £300 beans to have one

 

[scottiebhoy]

Appreciate all the respsonse, Just been told today that it doesnt come in red anymore, which has kind of burst my bubble a little, so have to choose another colour!
Defo going for man. aircon and speedlines, sat in recaros in focus rs which are the same and the standard reanult sport seats both comfy but understand about the resale point with recaro seats!

Im getting it for 12290 without recaros prob bout 13k with recaros!(Am in the forces so get tax free and mil discount, in case wondering, lol)

ac = poooooooooooooooofs.

 

[MarkCup]

AC 247365.

No sweaty balls in the summer. No misty windows in the winter. People who say they don't want it are just saying that because they don't have it.

Twaddle. Had it in my Focus, drove that thing for two years, honestly only ever had the a/c on once in that time.

My latest mini-beast has it too...I'll turn it on once a month to stop the seals drying out but that'll be all it gets.

ac = poooooooooooooooofs.

Amen. This is the UK, not Antigua.

 

[scottiebhoy]

Can you get the normal 200 in red? cos really not sure on the green, white, grey or racing blue which are the only colours on the cup!

 

[Munson]

Okay so buy it without AC and then see how many people want to buy it in 3-years. Worth about a pound.

 

[Gaz_]

You dont need AC in the UK, but as i mentioned, it makes the car way more desirable to sell on

It is a renault?? mines broke already, it doesnt need anything semi complicated to stand more chance of breaking.

 

[Fletcher]

I very rarely use AC in the clio/ truck, but when you're stuck in traffic on a hot summers day, it's IMO a god send.

I wouldn't have-buy a car without it TBH.

 

[SteveS Cup]

The reason the Recaro's only cost an extra £850 is that they removing seats in the process... so that is probably the difference in cost to them.

I personally love the Recaro CS's and anyone who says that they not as good as the std seats are off their tits IMO.

I was looking at 197's and personally it's the first thing I look for. It's the same case with 182's, It'd have to have both cup packs.

FLOL @ the comment about putting recaro's in means it's been ragged!!!! These cars are hot hatches and buying one thinking it's been driven by miss daisy it's just purely foolish.

1 of the reason's I went for a normal 172 and not a Cup... I've used AC once since I've had it to clear the windscreen. But it's the little things like AC and Auto Wipers that does make driving that little be nicer on your everyday car. (I never thought i'd say that about auto wipers as i've never had them before and if I had of read my statement above 2 months ago I would of thought... "what a mincer"!) lol.

I drive mine like Miss Daisy - Otherwise I'd fall out of the non-recaro seats

PMSL!!

This I don't get.

"It'll be worth £x less when you come to sell it."

Yes of course it will...but you paid less for it to start with...

On a 172 Cup a/c was a £650 option. Put two identical Cups side by side now, one with, one without, is the one with really going to sell for £650 more?

 

[Gaz_]

Imo it will sell for more. It also opens the car up to a wider market. Tbh, its not a deal breaker for me, but for some it is.

Depends if it has the other options that must be on it too or the CS Massive wont touch it with a Barge Pole.

It needs

1. Recaros
2. Speedlines
3. Air Con
4. Bluetooth
5. Spoiler (If ever there was a better named option I don't know it)
6. Coilovers
7. ITBs
8. Supercharger
9. Carlos fandago super wider wheels
10. Turbo
11. CS Sticker (for the extra 10 bhp)
12 Silver visions
13 Jack
14 Spare fecking wheel

etc etc etc

 

[scottiebhoy]

Personally i would want some sort of air con in the car, and want to buy the 200 with it for that reason.
Just wish cup came in red, as would have to go for 200 with cup chassis and speedlines to get it in red!

 

[Gorms]

Just out of interest scottie who did you go through to get your forces discount?

Gorms

 

[Munson]

This I don't get.

It will be more difficult to sell. A reduced audience in an already rather small market. If it doesn't sell quickly enough, the seller may have to drop the price significantly. Potentially far more than the original cost of AC.

 

[SteveS Cup]

When looking to get a 182 would anybody on here put ones with both cup packs to the top of their lists? Yes, every one would.

Same as ac and recaros on a 200 IMO.

Griffin tax free mate, best price ive got so far!

 

[Gally]

People seem to be missing the point big time with the ac and recaros.

It's fact you will be known as a fool if you spec it without either when buying new.

Like buying a 182 without cup packs.

[scottiebhoy]

Well dicided am getting the manual aircon, recaros and speedlines but not sure what colour as cant get red, its:
Nimbus grey
Alien green(not to keen)
Glacier white
Racing blue

Was thinking grey?

 

[Fletcher]

They do look good in nimbus.

 

[Munson]

Nimbus.

 

[SteveS Cup]

Alien Green looks awful imo.

White will be out of fashion shortly IMO.

So it's down to Nimbus or RB... I'd choose Nimbus cos I'm boring and like to be subtle, however I do love RB now!

 

[MrTrick]

Nimbus.

 

[Gally]

Don't they do storm grey?

Nimbus would look nice if not.

 

[Gorms]

Nimbus all the way

Which service are you in?

Gorms

 

[scottiebhoy]

Apperantely they have stopped strom grey so think willhave to be nimbus!

Am in Army, SCOTS DG! You?

 

[Louism]

Fairplay to you boys, what ever perks you get are not enough.

Cheers, Hopefully if i get the new car, it will make it worth it, lol

Indeed.

And perhaps with Mobray gone Celtic might improve - Making assumptions here

 

[Jasey]

Found the perfect colour

 

[scottiebhoy]

Defo the colour to go for, not sure about mobary, but he wasnt helping!
