great choice mate.
what's the road surface like in oz?
how much do they sell for over there?
The colour does look quite dark in the pics but the light is different in Aus; maybe cuz they have no Ozone layer but also because they actually have sunshine;
Its a fantastic looking car mate and you'll certainly be individual in it, there can't be many in the country?
Enjoy!!!!
Think the Ozone layer's been sorted but you're right about the sunshine
Agreed, it looks great! Will be seeing it in the flesh this weekend at the RenaultSport Oz National Meet and can't wait. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the arrival of my Liquid Yellow 200 in the same spec (ordered in April FFS!).
Just sold the red 197 so will be attending in the Black 172 track beast.
Crikey Nath, how many cars do you have? Would love to see a photo showing all of your collection. :drool:
So i wonder what the difference in spec is between UK and AUS cars, do you know?
Nah, it's not a huge collection, just happens to be all RS Clio's! I will soon have a LY 200 Cup and the Black phase 2 172 which I have had since new (2002) and now use for club competition.
Difference between UK and AUS cars is that we have 2 main choices (there are limited options as well). Basically all are cup spec with the base one being what you would call a FF with cup spec. The other version, which the OP has and I am getting, is called a "Trophee" which is a FF with cup spec plus anthracite bumper/diffuser plus recaro's plus Raider wheels (anthracite in the detail) plus keyless go and carbon look stuff on the dash.
Recaro's are not an option on the base cup so if you want them you basically have to get the Trophee.
As someone else posted above, they are a bit more expensive than over your way unfortunately.
I see thanks for clarifying. So you gonna send us a photo of the family then.
Hang on, who's the Blue one in this thread for then..?
As someone who regularly exports to Australia (furniture and lighting), would it not be an option to source a car from the UK and import it? I know there would be warranty issues but is there any other reason? You can obviously source parts.
