New Pictures, New Bits.
Hi all, haven't done my own post on here before, just comment on threads. I don't even own a Subaru, but I've been on here a while following friends project builds, and enjoying reading various threads. It's a great forum in general, so I thought I'd contribute a thread.
My 2012 RenaultSport Clio 200. With the extras: Cup Pack,Recaro's,Speedlines and Cup boot Spoiler.
Had the cars first 'Summer' wash this year. I've had the car a year now and still love every minute driving it
Looking forward to using these AD08's as intended, Nurburgring trip in 2 Months time

Looking nice Geraint, the car is looking great and I like the rear spoiler.
Have you considered changing the wheel colour to black or a similarly dark colour? Just me but I'm not a fan of white wheels especially on a white car.
Keep up the good work, the car goes well and I dare say once the warranty has expired then you might well look at uprating the power output.

Thanks Ty!
I personally love the white on white, I chose the white specifically. I suppose it's marmite, one thing I will say, they get stinking so easy!
The car does go well, but still always going to need more power, I think the Chasis is so great that it will easily handle more power, Jamsport are doing supercharger conversions, or the megane 265 engine is a direct replacement. So there's plenty of options after warranty

You could have bought a lovely Subaru for that much money
Not a bad little car these in all fairness, I'm not a French lover my no means but I've had a go in one of these that had a map and exhaust or whatever was done to it and was quite a little pokey thing for what it was and didn't handle too bad, just found it very light on the steering input but that may just be me
Looks a nice car tho all the same

Cheers for the input
They do go well, 200bhp and 1190 kg iirc. Much quicker things out there don't get me wrong, but it's the handling that sees a lot of bigger cars off. The fact that you can keep your foot the the floor through bends and keep it screaming. Matched with the brakes, it's brilliant.
I find the handling mind blowing for a fwd hatch, tyres make a massive difference on these, any mid range/cheap tyre on it and it ruins the car.
Looking forward to using these AD08's during summer.

Love the Clio... Mrs Merv has had a 172, 172 Cup and now a 182! I drive it quicker than the Type R, so much more chuckable! Gonna blah a test drive of the new one with the 1.6 Turbo

Looks nice that. One of these (or similar one ) Jarvis had I think, came on a run and did alright until we hit some of the hills/straights on the range.(Epynt). Was also a few on the last run, can't comment on how they went though as I was up front and they were in the middle somewhere.
Three of them aswell in Brecon that I know of in the last few months, are they becoming more available/affordable now?
P.s and i like the spoiler, suits it well!

I love the car, but I still get the itch for a Lotus Exige S.
So we'll see if that needs scratching done time soon.

Thanks bud
No, thank god. I'm not seeing any at all.
All I see mainly is the older 197.
Only seen a handful of 200's on my travels. So that's good
