Worst clio to wear an RS badge?

[R20 CWH]

Big can of worms this one, but for me it would have to be the exclusive

alloys that no one wanted
average colour
leather in a mushroom crap colour

should really have been a winning formula, but not really.

Id say it was the runt of the litter

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Chic, you dissapoint me gunshow.

Scarab green on dark F1's is awesome

 

[Will.]

But they didn't come with F1's. I agree. Even when clean, still doesn't look a nice colour.

 

[Daniel]

Exclusive was a good car.

For me, the most pointless was the 182 Cup. None of the extras that a normal 182 had, but none of the weight saving the 172 Cup had.

Just a pointless edition imo.

 

[Fred@BTM]

they do too any "limited editions" IMO

but the standard alloys are gammon. Id even say the mk2 172 alloys are pretty shite looking as well, 5 spokes and dated too f**k. Ok everything has a shelf life, but scarab green isnt that nice and the interior is barking.

Id go with daniel, 182 cup was a f**king joke as well.

so far its looking like

172 excl
182 cup

hmmm.

All we need is a shitey diesel version - oh wait....

 

[Will.]

How about when people put the "Sport" badge or 2.0 16v badges on a 1.2.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Aye okay the BBS rims on the 172 Exc werent great but tbf it looks pretty good on F1's....

The 182cup was 2% lighter than the 182. The 200cup is 3% lighter than a 200. If that 1% makes 1 pointless and not the other..........well it's nonsense, isn't it? Neither of them are about true weight saving, they are about making it cheaper to get into an RS. The end!

 

[Daniel]

I'm not talking about the 200 you homo.

I'm saying the 172 cup was a proper effort. Genuinely made an effort to make it lighter. No aircon, thinner glass, different wheels, no ABS....

The 182 was a half arsed attempt. Aircon instead of Digi Climate?? Pointless. Completely pointless. And to look at it was identical unless you were a Cliosport.net geek.

 

[Jay Payne]

A 5 door one? Hot hatches should only have 3 doors imo

 

[ForceIndia]

Exactly. So if the 182cup was pointless, the 197cup and the 200cup are! Only difference being they actually look worse with the unpainted bits! And you got the cup spoiler/splitter thrown in with the 182cup, you get fack all with the mk3 cup's! You west country bumpkin!

I'd sling the Trophy in as pointless. Doesn't have the everlasting dampers of a standard 182. w**k.

I'm going to come back and argue with you tomorrow when i've not been drinking.

Four eyes.

Playground insults FTW

Its the best I can manage.

You're bald. Ergo your head looks like a thumb. Thumb-head.

Bald OR ginger. Not sure which is worse tbh.

[Daniel]

Pipe down you bunch of c**ts. And that includes you Jay!

The 182 was the worst 'edition' made by Renault. If you disagree, Lucifer himself will strike you down.

 

[R20 CWH]

hmm cups leading the charge.

still think the 182 one was lame, more a question of crappy marketing from renault.

 

[kev182cup]

And obviously the 182cup had cup packs as standard. A standard 182 looks w**k without splitter spoiler and silver wheels. The exclusive is abit marmite so I'd say it really has to go to that. The gordini actually looks good without the stupid wheels.

 

[JCC]

Gordini 200. They took an already "ugly" car, made it uglier, made it no faster/better handling than a normal 200 and bumped the price up. Complete shat.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

FLOL @ shat.

Loves it!

 

[R20 CWH]

looks like each bhp has its own darling:-

172 excl
182 cup
200 gordini

cant really argue with alot of whats been said in respect of the selection of the above.
The gordini especially is like something a kid in halfords with his dads credit card (ali?) would do

 

[marinemackay2003]

id say the ph2 172 " FF edition "

after the sharpness/rawness of the ph 1,
they followed up with overweight,middle of the road ph2,
compared to its ph1 younger brother and the agillity/rawness of the 172 cup

FF was a sort of disapointment/ step in wrong direction

 

[ForceIndia]

172ff is a unicorn.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

172ff is a unicorn.

Ill ask you what i asked OJ, pics, or it never happened.

 

[sideways danny]

i really like the exclusive so GTF!. 182 cup is very meh indeed.

if you preferred ''rawness'' then the cup was available; a normal 172 was for those who preffered ''luxuries'' so to speak, i wouldnt say its pointless.

as for pointless...

it's all subjective and mainly dependant on what perspective you see it from.

 

[Budgie]

Exclusive- meh.

And I heart Ph1's.

 

[mr bognor]

Exclusive- meh.

And I heart Ph1's.

 

[lbrench]

What about the Megane renaultsport diesel? Why has no1 brought that up yet?

 

[Iain C]

Gordini 200 deffo.
The meg diesel was ok...i quite fancy one tbh

 

[st3ve]

What about the Megane renaultsport diesel? Why has no1 brought that up yet?

Maybe because the thread is called Worst "Clio" Lynden, lol.

 

[Will.]

Lol!!!!!!! Worse Fiat to wear the Arbarth badge?

 

[Munson]

Anything less than a Nimbus R27 is pointless, going by some people's logic in here.

Actual f**king PMSL at a 200Cup owner calling a 182Cup pointless. What exactly is the point of a 200Cup again?

 

[Christopher]

Ph2 172 or the basic, early 197's.

 

[ForceIndia]

Early 197's were pretty poor. Lifeless engine that gulps fuel as fast as a vee.
Non-cup packed 200 as well. Gay coty 2010.
