Looks nice enough, but it's a pity they haven't fitted any go faster bits!

Aren't the wheels a bit too big for it? Love the chairs though.

I'm not sure where I stand with this. On the one hand I think it looks great (especially in red), but for me a new wheel and tyre package simply does not go far enough for a final send-off for the 200. I wasn't expecting something so extreme as the R26.R due to its poor sales, but the way Vauxhall have gone with their Corsa Nürburgring is much more like it. I really don't think an LSD is too much to ask, especially considering I suspect this Raider edition will not be at all cheap.

I reckon Renault will surprise us with a very final goodbye edition. New Clio is a long way off yet.

Looks quite dell for a special edition, rather a 200 Cup in Alien Green or Liquid Yellow.

Not sure the 18" Interlagos (R26.R) wheels work on this car. Look a tad too big.

They look stupid. Doubt they do the handling much good either which is real no-no on a hot Clio IMHO. Target market is probably more interested in 'looking well wicked innit' on the local high street so who can blame Renault? rolleyes

I'm sure that the Renaultsport engineers wouldn't have put them on if they were detrimental to the handling. Hardly what they're known for is it?

Sure Carl will be able to fill in more info?

What do you think the point in this special addition is? Its just a trim package with a 'special' name to sell more cars. Doubt the engineers had anything to do with it.

It is just another marketing exercise.


They seem to think these limited editions are going to attract people, but unlike the R27 for example they're just not as exclusive as they need to be.

There have been people driving round in their 197/200s on those exact wheels for years and who really wants a matt paint job that won't be so matt in a year after you've washed it every other weekend.

Have you driven one? I know I'm biased, but they're horrible little cars
