I didn't like the colour at all when these first came out but it's really grown on me over time.

Love AG, such a great colour on these 200's.

hey mate nice car

have u changed your clutch or cambelt yet ?

why does it cost soo much ?

[jamiem555]

That is nice. They're a proper little racing car and the full fat is the way to go. I don't regret selling mine but I certainly don't regret owning one for a short time. Glad you're enjoying it.

Hey

Um these cars aren't known for clutch issues and as far as I'm aware it's never been changed. The cam belt was done when I bought the car which was great but they cost a lot due to the parts I guess, also should always be done by a specialist. I've heard several stories of crap garages doing it and not getting the timing right so cars will lose power which is much needed in these haha

Very nice. I had the same spec in 2011 as a company car. It was superb.

not that i know of but at high miles i suppose it wouldnt really hurt much to change it

[C2james]

So future plans i would love to do to my clio is:

Akrapovic evo exhaust
Cat cams
Remap
Bilstein B14 coilovers
Braided lines, fluid, pads

this is if i keep it long term and maybe a half cage and harness if i want a mini GT3 RS style!

Ah really nice man! not many AG cars around

[Actus Reus]

Nice! My PA has a white Cup that she's selling - I did briefly consider it as a station car/weekend hack, but ruled it out.

FWIW I believe it's the labour time that makes the cambelt change 'expensive'. It's a relatively large engine in a small space so gaining access is time consuming.

Personally I don't think the cost is that bad given its once in a blue moon.

Lovely car OP. Best colour by far - can't believe they sold so few!

[C2james]

Thanks! Well according to this site there's 55 non cup and full fat, and 18 cup models in this colour!

I had a Storm Grey, one of only 6 with Cup Spoiler and 1 of 16 with black roof.


Good motors, I was after an Alien Green one as a second motor but couldn't find a decent one and the only one for sale atm is the one from the Focus RS vs Clio 200 video where it's a good meter off the ground lol.
