Me and my new car =]

[Matik17]

Hi all,

My name is Mat and I am 24 years old.

I am happy to join you all here and your amazing cars.
I bought my car yesterday from Portsmouth. Went for it all the way from Manchester at night after work. It was worth it.
I took it to the Snake Pass today, just came back home. See photo below.
It is a nice car and I love it.

My story with cars starting from 1st one :
- Toyota Yaris 1L 3 door
- Megane 225 Lux http://www.meganesport.net/community/showthread.php?89489-My-second-ever-car-RS-225-)))
- Subaru GTB Twin Turbo 300BHP
- Toyota Yaris 1L 5 door
- Clio Cup - now







The Clio is 2010 model with 35,000 miles.

I do not know what version it is, 197 or 200 but I know it is Cup model.
It handles better than my 225 Lux but is slower. On a track Clio would leave my old 225 behind I assume.

I was thinking of modding the Clio - exhaust, brakes, spoiler, skirts, splitter and other subtele parts.

I hope you like the Clio

Kind regards,

Mat.

Welcome, from the photos it looks like yours is a Clio 200 with cup pack (not a cup model)

Welcome to the forum!

Yeah as above, 200 full fat with cup chassis.

I'm sorry but how can you buy a car and not know what it is? Surely you've insured it so should know exactly what it is!

Hi guys

Thanks for the welcome ! =]

When I bought the car I thought it is 197 Cup.
When I was insuring it it specified Renaultsport in the description on moneysupermarket.
So till now I had no idea to be honest ! I am glad it is RS 200 version huhuhuhu

Yes I come from Manchester. We need to meet up over the weekend and organise a day trip to Snake Pass =]

I hope to meet all of you closer !

The red one is a 197, the white one is a 200
to look at they have different headlights and front bumper, and a different rear diffuser.

May your ride bring you endless miles of joy! Pity its not a 197. but a 200 will do.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys : I am so happy to be part of your Clio RS Team across the planet !!!

Yes, I can see the differences between 197 and 200. Both of the cars look so great 197 has more agressive look at the front end but 200 has more agressive rear

We can meet over upcoming weekend if anyone is interested ? Oulton Park or Snake Pass or any other ideas ? It would be great ! I hope we can all go Nurburgring this year =]

I enjoy more the 200 than the 225 I had to be honest. There is more connection to the car. Better sound too and more funky

I was going to buy 265 facelift but I decided to go with a nice Clio and do not regret my choice
