    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    Guys... I did the sensible thing and went for..... A 2010 Skoda Octavia VRS CR TDI in Candy white... 50 MPG and £130 per year to tax swung it for me. Pics to follow after I pick it up on Thursday if you're still interested... I'm still liking the Clio and maybe look at a Cup 200 for a...

    *197 to 200 front end conversion*

    Thats great... Do you think the price in parts would almost equal the difference between a 197 and a 200?

    *197 to 200 front end conversion*

    I tried the manual... It was a bit like that... Screamed like a ******* when you got higher up the revs and was a bit of a shock on the brakes... I suppose it had been standing on the forecourt a while though. Think a revision of driving style is needed! More forward planning... Plus points...

    *197 to 200 front end conversion*

    Interesting... I test drove the Pathfinder today... Quite enjoyed it! Proper high up, comfy... Brakes were a bit wishy washy though!... Scary! Going to test drive 200 tomorrow morning at Holdcroft Stoke.

    *197 to 200 front end conversion*

    What a hideous car... However... Like the front end... Is that a body kit rather than genuine parts?...

    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    I was looking at new... But I've seen them with under 5k on them for 12-14k... couldn't accept that kind of depreciation either! I don't have a works van... But I get to drive Skoda Octavia VRS TDI's at work so I get my speed on there... Its a toss up between practical, road presence, being...

    *197 to 200 front end conversion*

    Maybe I'm one of the few that prefer's the look of the 200 front end :S.... Am I a fool?... I'm umming and arrring over what I want more... Nissan Pathfinder or Clio 200... But I could get both (sooner than if I wanted a 200) if I went for a 197 as there are loads in the spec I want...

    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    Thanks Steve, That's sort of the price I'm looking for really... Did you buy it out right or on PCP? I don't want to spend more than 200 pcm really... I'm seriously thinking of getting a big 4x4 now.... simply because I know I'll keep it for years... and I reckon in 5 years or so, it will...

    *197 to 200 front end conversion*

    Is this possible? I've seen a subaru impreza bugeye being converted to a blobeye and a blob eye to a hawk eye.... is this possible with the clio? Front wings/bumper? Or did they change things that you can't swap over when they redesigned it? Ant

    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    Well this is depressing... no one seems to be chopping in their 200's atm... especially none in the spec I want! :'( If it carries on like this I might get myself a Nissan Pathfinder T-spec (black) as I also fancy a big 4x4 to haul the dog/work kit/camping gear around in.... Means I'll have to...

    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    It's not mine anymore... Unfortunately it was my Grandma's and when she died it was split between my mum and 3 brother's/sisters that don't care about it so they forced a sale. It was Carlton Crescent, Lendalfoot between Ballentrae and Girvan in Ayrshire. Get's me angry just thinking about...

    Ah ha... I'll keep him in mind for track day advice then! I remember his two tone black n white saxo looking quite handy... Sometimes these forums tend to fill up with bellends I find... This one seems very friendly though :thumbup:

    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    Just spoke to David from Lookers Chester.... A very nice man indeed. Couldn't find any in the network that fit my requirements at the moment but very helpful and taken my details for when someone chops one in. I'm in no huge rush as I don't really want to compromise on spec to get it in to my...

    Hi Mark, Mike and Ashton... Mike - I don't think I've got any Saxo pics on any of my current digital storage devices! Too old!... I've never been on Saxperience... I was on saxosportsclub.co.uk, is that still going?.... I saw someone on here called FMP... I'm sure there was a black n white...

    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    I'm a big fan of white on white... Current girlfriend likes that look too (she has white rims on her car) so that's a bonus!! Last time I did white rims the girlfriend at the time took the piss so much I had to change them! :bored: I'm going into Lookers Chester on Monday to have a nose...

    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    Thanks Roy... I shall keep my eye on that! I think I am going to go for a Clio over the Impreza as the subaru for the same price is a 2008 and knowing my luck it'll be out of warranty when the diff blows up! I think the Storm Grey would be my first choice, but if it's been discontinued I'm...

    ** Hello! Thinking 200.... So thought I'd intro myself **

    Greetings from Stoke On Trent. My name is Anthony, I'm 28 and am thinking of getting myself a Clio 200... Unsure about cup or FF with cup pack as yet... I like the 'ethos' of the cup... but I like roadtrips to south of France, so at least A/C is handy! My car history has been.... Saxo VTR...
