    Just had new windscreen fitted

    I took the 200 out of mothballs and drove it over to Autoglass in Sheffield for a new screen. I had deliberated over it since I bought it but took the plunge. It was scratched just to the right of centre when I bought it, almost a scouring type mark. The guy at autoglass was very good...

    Wind deflectors

    Son had his stolen off his Corsa today. He did well they lasted nearly 12 months without some ******* taking a liking to them. Fortunately no damage done. Cost £27 to replace off ebay, genuine Heko

    Akrapovic exhaust + 1

    It is a group buy price really. No more movement on a "bulk" buy. It is a price for forum members

    Akrapovic exhaust + 1

    I followed 10 mins after John (thread below) with my Demon Tweeks order. I've been deliberating for a while over it but the DT price with free delivery/fitting swung it for me. It's the Evo system we have both ordered. Fitting mine myself so see how it goes

    Cleaning and Graffiti Wall - *lots of pics*

    I think the problem will be the point where the bumper and wing bolt together. The bolt with age will shear off when an attempt to remove it is made without blasting it with WD well before putting a spanner on it. Some owners then just bodge the repair with a tie wrap or similar which results in...

    UK closed road racing PLEASE HELP

    It will never happen in reality. Don't get excited about it coming to a town anywhere near you. No one and in particular local councils have the funding to make the highway infrastructure safe and suitable for such events. It's a pipe dream for all except perhaps somewhere near the capital.

    My iPad link app to 197net has been hijacked by a raider slide show

    The link I have on my ipad desktop which used to take me direct to the forum now comes up with a "wow slider " slide show of a 200 Raider. Any suggestions?

    Door handle lock button

    Mine started like that and eventually got worse until it hardly ever worked. Renault swapped it under warranty

    Has anyone seen a 200T on the road

    I don't know how long the car had been out, guessing well over 6 months. I have never seen one on the road! Accepting that the styling makes them look similar to the run of the mill models but I'm sure the twin pipes and better wheels would perhaps shout out a bit. They do seem very scarce...

    H@R Springs on a 200T

    It all sounds crazy to me, lowering the car because it makes it look nicer but drives like a shopping trolley.

    H@R Springs on a 200T

    Isn't this all counter intuitive to all the development renault have put into the advanced damping system. I thought I had read that the suspension has been developed on race car technology.......is that for someone to stick a set of 200 quid springs on the car.

    Fitting/replacing Recaro seat base in 200

    Beware the bolts can be a 8astard to remove. They are thread locked in with something only slightly less grippy than a spot weld. To make things harder the hexagon socket heads are only just slightly stronger than chocolate. I replaced mine with stainless once I got them out. The Clios are...

    ITG Cleaning kit

    I just bought a filter and a new cleaning/oil kit from a guy on here. I can't see any way you could just wash the filter without the degreasing fluid unless the filter had never been treated with the oil in the first place. The idea is that the retention oil captures the fines, periodically you...

    Sorry but an Alien Green 200 is the only one to have.

    Geneva 2014 - New RS Clio variant planned

    It's good news for the lads who already own a 200t as any radical change would have been a real kick in the balls on values etc. I think renault realise that, they don't want to alienate customers who have just parted with 20odd k on a car.
