    Tyre choices....

    I got a full set of TOYO Proxes T1-Rs and I have to say I am actually really impressed so far! I thought they'd be fine for driving up & down the M4 motorway to & from work and I never take the car on track or exploit the performance of the car... A useful saving as well having got a full set of...

    Tyre choices....

    I'm looking at fitting a set of four new tyres on my RS200 tomorrow & my local fitting centre is recommending TOYO Proxes T1-R for grip or Pirelli P-Zero Nero for grip with improved life... I'd really appreciate any feedback or advice based on personal experience. :thumbup1: My...

    Struggling to find ContiSport 3

    I'm down to 2mm of tread & I now need to replace my front tyres but I'm struggling to find ContiSport 3s in my local area! ContiSport 5s are readily available. Can anyone recommend somewhere in the Bristol - Reading M4 corridor? I have considered fitting a full set of Federal 595s which are...

    Maybe time to sell up...

    I'm just weighing up options at the moment - I know how pleased I was to get back into an RS Clio having sold my RS197 a few years ago... I'm toying with either a 3-litre diesel C-Class Sport, a diesel Alfa Giulietta or an SLK. The one certainty is it has to be an automatic and therefore the new...

    Maybe time to sell up...

    Thanks for the advice; I think Steve only buys cars with Recaros and mine does not have them. I'll seriously look at selling up if I get a good deal but if not I'll keep the car a while longer. The RS200 is a fantastic car but not a daily commuter!! :thumb1:

    Maybe time to sell up...

    A change of circumstances means that I might be forced to sell up soon! I'd be gutted to let go of a great, trouble-free and very distinctive RS200 but needs must & all that... :swear: I have had a few part exchange valuations but they do seem to be all over the place which is not surprising...

    Clutch Switch Clicking

    My clutch pedal does the same! The noise stops for a few days after a squirt of WD-40 but it soon comes back!! :huh:

    Back at last

    The projectors come as part of the cornering light option on the RS200... There was no HID Xenon option though.... :thumb1:

    Back at last

    Nice car in the best colour..... I've not seen a yellow one with the Sprint spoiler but it sure looks good in red!! :-)

    Everyone be mirin the cup...

    Why would anyone put a Cup spoiler on a standard Clio Dynamique? That just looks wrong!!

    RS Skirts Fitted!!

    I have found that the skirts do cut down on some of the crap thrown up onto the car by the front tyres... That has to be a good thing with the state of some of the roads on my commute to work... :panic:

    UR200 detailed

    Looking good! I have been waiting for the weather to improve before setting to work on mine! My plan is to start with a straightforward DA 'cut & polish' with Meguiar's M105/M205 followed by a few coats of Colinite wax.... And the Sprint spoiler is THE spoiler to have on the RS Clio!! :-)

    Ive bought a DA and products but just cant make an impact

    I have found the same problem on my Ultra Red RS200.... I can improve the finish but the worst swirls are still visible.... I thought I might try a glaze before waxing!

    A black roof makes all the difference! :-)

    Power steering fault?

    Thanks guys! I have noticed that the alternator whines noticeably on the occasions when this has happened! I do lots of long journeys & I'll put it down to the cold weather for now! Thanks for putting my mind at rest....

    Power steering fault?

    I have noticed a few times in the recent cold weather that my power steering can take a while to 'engage' when starting the car! Is this a known problem with an RS200 & should I be mentioning it to my local dealer while still under warranty...? ;)

    RS Skirts Fitted!!

    The side skirts transform the look of the car & even though they are quite expensive I have no regrets at all! The plastic has the same effect as the end plates on the matching cup spoiler & they seem to be pretty robust... :001_rolleyes:
