Ok time for a little update on this one.
I seem to find myself torn over what i want from this car. I spent my life on track in my old 172, and i simply dont have the time or the funds to be doing that again as well as other hobbies which take time and money.
So this car is not going on track. Yet i still find myself thinking how car i stiffen this thing up lol.
Anyway, this is where things are now, and the direction this car is going in....
Currently in the car boot and awaiting fitting i have:
On order and awaiting delivery i have:
And still to order, but on my list are:
So it seems i have veered a little off the initial idea of making it look like a racer, and just changing it to generally look a nice specimin. The wheels are growing on me, although i dont think the decision on these can be made until the car is lowered
Two things i do know for sure are that i need to find a racing blue cup spoiler, and i also need to get on the french forums and find out where i can get a decent front splitter to sort out the front of the 200, as its the one part i dont like.

Some more movement at last today 
The LED bulbs are fitted, and although during the day it looks a bit chavvy, at night the blue glow is superb and matches the cars colour at night, so very happy with that. will get some pics asap.
My panel filter turned up today, so that will be in first thing tomorrow.
The car goes into renault tomorrow to have the door rubbers looked at as there is a little leak from each wing mirror area.
And the best bit, just had a day off work confirmed so car will up at Mark Fish Motorsport on the 10th to have the cup damper and H&R springs fitted.
I must re-iterate, this car will not be doing regular track days. if any at all. So having had discussions with Mark, we feel that the cup dampers and H&R springs will provide the looks i want, but also the best setup for road use compared to coilovers. Combined with the softer anti roll bar it should be spot on for the use i want.

Sounds good mate, let us know of the progress. I'll be at Mark's around mid of August. What a top guy he is
pics taken tonight after visit to Mark Fish. Taken by the misses, although we could find her tripod so pics are a bit grainey.
