Its been about 2 and a half weeks since getting my new car. Came about when my friends started planning this years Nurburgring trip and when I started adding up what I wanted for my Car I thought why not just add the 3 from Renault and save the hassle!
I've always had a thing for French hatchbacks:
First car I got when I was 18 was a VTR
Few weeks into having it:

How it ended up:
![8705599294_2dabea440d_z.jpg 8705599294_2dabea440d_z.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/65/65114-a98b8f7db4e034a807138d325aebd54e.jpg)
Now my First Renault Sport was a Black 197

![8637705405_1cdae8ce7c_b.jpg 8637705405_1cdae8ce7c_b.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/65/65116-25b314fb27cbe53a2106e476c077635e.jpg)
Loved that car and although it was enough for me I had "slimmed" down considerably that recaros were now an option for me.
So I started to have a look about and came to the conclusion the Cup was more suited to what I wanted and getting a Cup meant I could go for a 4+ scheme car with less miles.
Few Pictures from my birthday wash using all my new goodies:

Have to say I like the 200's extra touches:

So the main reason for buying this particular car was this:
Bought on 1800 miles:
![8704531085_f30bc9972a_h.jpg 8704531085_f30bc9972a_h.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/65/65124-c33b89d61d38d12ecbfa341c191d2828.jpg)
Go Hardcore or Go Home:

![8705656526_939e8398ea_h.jpg 8705656526_939e8398ea_h.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/65/65126-4380830d75a5ec59715215f2f03d8b48.jpg)
The advantage of having one before means I instantly had a few touches to add:
![8705659694_e174083278_h.jpg 8705659694_e174083278_h.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/65/65127-b8afbeb936985a1b2d5815a83870d9e9.jpg)

Now I had a spare sticker from last years trip and since the car was bought for this years trip in mind I decided the bad luck associated to sticking it on before hand was crap and stuck it on anyway minus the writing:
![8704535139_3375da5722_h.jpg 8704535139_3375da5722_h.jpg](https://clio197.net/data/attachments/65/65129-5804ee808751cc76d2e162ae6dc060f9.jpg)
Before the Ring I Should be upgrading the Brake & Box Fluid with some Yellowstuff pads & If I have time making a lower seat frame and adding a harness and possibly some sticky rubber for my 197 cup wheels. Considering after two years of 197 ownership the only thing I wanted were seats and better suspension which I've ticked off dont expect many upgrades!
