    My Trophy awaits....

    Hello there! I've been away for a few years but I'm back! I am most excited to be picking up a rather wonderful RS 220 Trophy this weekend in the lustrous Liquid Yellow! Mini JCW ownership just wasn't for me but it was fun while it lasted...

    New GT-Line - rubbish pedals!

    I picked up a new GT-Line EDC Clio at the weekend & when peeling the protective plastic from the pedals I found the aluminum brake pedal to have a really poor finish - the metal is scratched & 'blotchy' with razor sharp edges! Anyone had the same on an RS? :thumbdown:

    Returning to the fold...sort of!

    I thought I'd log back into the site to say hello - it is great to see how much the forum has developed! My partner Kim has just purchased a brand new Clio GT-Line which is a 'watered down' RS200T! We collect the car next weekend...

    RS200 EDC gunning it on the M4..

    I had to look once, twice, three times to be sure but a silver (?) RS200 EDC Clio went flying past me on the M4 last night... It was hard to be sure about the colour as the sun was setting but the car itself looked just like every other new shape Clio! :ohmy:

    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    A change in circumstances forced me to change car and I am now the proud owner of a brand new 1.8 TFSI Audi TT S-Line with the fabulous 7-speed S-Tronic dual clutch automatic transmission... My Clio went in part exchange and I am very happy with the deal that I was able to strike. I am also...

    Splash tray - a bit missing!!

    I noticed today that there was plastic hanging from the bottom of my car as I walked away from it. Closer inspection revealed that there is a small plastic panel underneath the engine that has totally disappeared (!) and the plastic behind it has snapped allowing a strip of it to hang loose. Has...

    My Clio will be going soon...!

    I hope I've done the right thing but I have placed a factory order for an Audi TT TFSI coupe with S-Tronic dual clutch gearbox!! I'm hoping for a September 1st collection and sadly the Clio will have to go! :bye2: It felt like it was finally time for me to accept that my left knee is...

    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...

    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...

    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...? ;)

    Dodo Juice Buff Daddy!

    I finally got to try out my new Dodo Juice 'Buff Daddy' DA polisher today; I only had time to do the bonnet & front panel but I am very impressed with the end result. I am using Meguiar's M105/205 cutting & polishing products with the recommended pads and I was a little surprised that some...

    A few random pictures...

    I will finally have the RS side skirts fitted on Friday and I thought I'd upload a few images of my car without them fitted... Ultra Red is so difficult to capture in a photograph.... :zomg:

    Where do I start?

    Hello - I am going to purchase a dual action DAS-6 polisher and get to work on my Ultra red RS200 which has picked up a lot of fine swirls. I have found some great deals on ebay for the polisher and a choice of Meguiars, Poor Boys, Dodo Juice, Britemax or Sonus products... I have lots of...
