Bought a red 200 Cup yesterday

[Carl Pearce]

I had my old car (Fiesta ST) for three and half years and got a bit bored of it so bought this yesterday:

On a 10 plate but only had 250 miles on it (I'm not patient enough to play the waiting game for a new one!).

Keeping the revs low for now but even so is fun to drive! :thumbup:

The only issue I have at the moment is a noise coming from the drivers door/window when going over bumpy roads but doesn't happen all the time; I think it might be the door moving against the pin on the chassis... any ideas?

welcome to the site carl car looks great !

Welcome Carl, very nice car in a great colour. :thumbup:
Running-in is the most frustrating thing but only 350 miles to go and then you can give it some stick! Hope you enjoy it as much as I rate mine.

I thought the FF came with Recaros? (Mine didn't)

 

[dmc_74]

No mate, Recaros are an option on both Cup and Sport.

OMG I have just melted.

Can I have it? Please?

 

[Carl Pearce]

Ah fair enough it was described as a Clio 200 Cup lol.

What's the difference between the specs?

Erm... no! :-p

Kimk Jong-il will be sending his army of 5 million troops round to ask you nicely for the car. If that doesn't work, Dear Leader will be using force

ST looks sweet also mate - credit to ya :thumbup:

 

[Mike]

Yes, I do still adore them ST!

Such poke in them lower down compared to the 197, but then the 197 says "so long ST" at 5k revs lol!

 

[Bootsock]

Don't like the ST but the Clio 200 is cool .

Nice colour scheme etc .

Good work my friend

 

[Fagan]

Definitely a step up from the Fiesta IMO. Lovely motor, lovely colour.
