[Seano]

Hi all
my first post here but will be the best place to start I think
been through 30 odd cars new and used in my 15 years of driving
BMW evos subarus Vw Audi merc rang rover etc
some were proper track toys,
2005 Subaru spec c,
new at the time Evo 8 mr 340
so Iv been there done that with big turbos etc but was years ago.
Now settled down ;-) and have just sold my golf Gti(well took a large
none refundable deposit)
I fancy a toy to do the school run in....and a Sunday blast around
the back roads
so poss looking at. 197/200
things I'd like it to have..full dealer history
recaros xenons cup packs uprated exhaust etc
not fussed on the colour but must be in good condition
i know it's a buyers market so not looking at overpriced stuff.
iv been looking for a few weeks so can already see there's a few
great deals about
traveling is not a problem either I'm in Glasgow
any any help or advise would be great
thanks Sean

Welcome along, nice selection of cars!

can I ask is the sound system in these cars terrible ?

I've heard the standard system isn't great but I have the Cabasse 6-CD uprated system (another optional extra) and I think it's pretty decent tbh, haven't felt the need to upgrade it anyway

One of the cars I'm looking is a Clio 200 cup f1
but Iv just been told you don't get an f1 in this model
f1 was only in the f197?? Is this true
it has the recaros rear spoiler etc?
Thanks in advance guys

There's plenty for sale out there...http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?38183-2011-RenaultSport-Clio-200-Liquid-Yellow-Recaros

 

[Stevoox]

Welcome!

Also i see you list Xenons as one of your options. Believe this was not an optional extra offered on the 200's

 

[Seano]

I'm surprised at that...no xenons
iv had a look at few other things but can't make my mind up
type r,vxrs etc
