What can i say about it!! ..............Wow!!
so much better than my R27 which i can compare it too, wouldn't be fair to compare it to the Trophy, as that is so different in every way and will be truly missed!!
Already racked up 300 miles, will post up a more definative write up once i've covered more miles.

Just one more thing...........WOW!!

Gonna Miss the little T though.....but got such a good deal on the 200 i couldn't resist, this is certainly going to be on my driveway for a much longer period of time!!

Very nice mate! It's the first I've seen in red, and it certainly looks much nicer in this colour than the other's I've seen. I've quite fancied one of these for a while, so I'd really like to see a write up as soon as you've put a few more miles on it!

Did you get a good deal against the Trophy ?
Thought the AG won my vote at the T meet last year, red does look good doesn't it....!!

Ace colour choice- black contrasted with red looks purposeful.

Enjoy your new purchase and keep us updated with your views as you spend more time driving it :D

You know what, I was looking at selling my towcar at the end of this year and going back to the RS's. I looked at 197 Cups/R27's and then looked at broker prices of the 200 and decided that would be what I wanted. Just when I was thinking I do prefer the look of the 197, you post these pics.

Fantastic car you have there. Did you go through a broker to get a cheaper price?

I want one again :lol:

Please get the pics resized asap though.

Can't be sure why but I always loathed the 197 and although the 200 is not massively different I quite like. I suspect the piano black laquered finish on some of the plastics is going to be a nightmare to keep free of swirls and stone chips a constant and obvious worry.

I was never a fan of the 197 or the 200 at first, but that is one of the nicest looking 200's I've ever seen. Good choice 8)

Its not as sexy as that little red machine parked behind it though. :wink:

Looks great! There's a white one near my work which I like the look of, yours is the first I've seen in red. It really does dwarf the T, doesn't it!? What size are the wheels?

And as for those seats........ 8) =P~

Just in case anyone thinking of getting a 10 reg Clio is interested, the DVLA have got stacks of "CL10" reg. numbers for sale.
