White 197 FF

[Chris V6 255]

Just dropped my car off for a service at my local Renault & they had a FF 197 in white outside. Looked the nuts
Thought white was only available in the cup though?
They had a white R26 in there too! Looked mint!!!!

I don't like the silver wing mirrors. Plus Cup packs and no recaros is an odd choice, but then most dealers don't appear to spec recaros on their demos. I'd assume due to the cost and most normal people wanted comfy seats.

I really don't like the silver mirror thing, as the same as the R26.

I had a look a White Cup with Recaro's at my dealers on Sat, and it looks even better in the flesh.

Top car

Looks good

Delete the Silver mirrors add xenons and recaros and thats spot on!

Why are the wing mirrors silver, looks tacky. I was hoping they would do them white so I could see a comparison, and then get mine done in white if I liked them

Its a cost option (£50) along with 'satin chrome' surrounds to the front wing side vents.

Might look appealing on Black but god awful on white!

I love the look of that, I certainly prefer it over the looks of the Cup

What worries me about the Cup is the 'hard' plastic dash, even though I've never seen it. FF FTW

EDIT: Any pics of the white R26 also?

Beat me to it!!!

Hope you got some pics of the R26.

On the 197 I'm not keen on the silver wing mirrors and it NEEEEEEEEDS black wheels.

Very nice!

 

[GinandGasoline]

silver mirrors is a bit odd.... the R27 had them the same colour as the car which is a better look.... black wheels and black mirror casings would be a top look though

lol I was there on Monday trying to buy a car and I saw that and asked them if the had colour coded a cup

 

[jimbo666]

wow!!! love it! but then im biast.

i must agree, the mirrors would look better white.

 

[jamier27]

am i the only person who prefers the mirrors satin.. though think they would be better anthracite.. same colour as wheels

 

[Munson]

^^I think they look pretty good in the sliverish colour

by 2009 I think 80% of cliosport will have a white 197 lol

The only reason its loved so much on here is because the cleaning geeks on here want another excuse to have to wash their car! Because lets face it, white cars show everything.

 

[Gaz_]

not as much as black.............


i've had both!!!!

[Munson]

You're probably right, but what everyone on here fails to realise is that Cliosport members are not the only people who buy Renaultsport Clios. We're a minority. There will be more racing blue on the roads I reckon.

Anyone who selects the colour of their car based on what other people think and on it's rarity is an idiot. You buy the car you want to own in the colour you want it in.

You could argue that everyone with an R27 has a yellow one just because they are popular on here and the Renaultsport forums.
