Spring Colour Codes

[Bene]

Hello, I'm looking to change my shocks/springs to non-cup and need some information on the colour markings.
The 197 buyer's guide has great info on 197s but I can't seem to find info on 200s.
As far as I can gather the spring markings are:

197 non-cup front: blue/green
197 non-cup rear: orange/orange
197 cup front: blue/orange
197 cup rear: blue/orange
200 non-cup front: blue/yellow?
200 non-cup rear: ?
200 cup front: blue/orange
200 cup rear: blue/orange

The bold ones are the ones I'm looking for, can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks

After trawling through the site and then 10 pages of google results, I gave up and swapped to bing - and immediately found this
http://www.clio197.net/threads/clio-rs200-springs-can-you-identify-these.55227/

So that would be:
197 non-cup front: blue/green
197 non-cup rear: orange/orange
197 cup front: blue/orange
197 cup rear: blue/orange
200 non-cup front: blue/yellow
200 non-cup rear: orange/orange
200 cup front: blue/violet
200 cup rear: blue/orange

BUMP.

Bought a spring from a large motor parts supplier and it was wrong. Car is currently on axle stands.

Anyway you have to buy from Renault parts, just a heads up for anyone! I learnt the hard way today.

My car is a 2009 200 so that would come under blue/orange (that’s what I took off my car today)

I assume the blue / violet above is for 2010 onwards.

Am I right in thinking mine is Blue/orange for 200 2009 front as per above?

I’m worried that I got another wrong spring on the way, spoke to RPD on the telephone and he said it should fit, can’t take anyone’s wors for t after today tho.

Car was registered November 2009

blue/violet is definitely for 2010 onwards as it is narrower at the top to suit the later style top mounts
Blue/orange is the older style.

We are presuming your car is a cup chassis as you haven’t said otherwise

All fitted, yes cup.

And so the saga continues..

Extremely light brake pedal, well it travels all the way to floor now!

Dropping my car to TwoTechs tommorow, never had a headache with them before, caused my own last few days by trying to save some pennies which didn’t work, live and learn.

Does anyone know if this is related to front wheel / ball joint assembly?

Not sure if it was taken out when my mechanic replaced by broken spring , he thinks it not for my car? I’m thinking it must be.

The track rod end bush’s looks similar to that I think. How does the steering feel?

Hello!

Can I use the front springs from the clio 197 cup on the non cup variant?
