I go round this twice a day when working and one day last week my back end span out alittle I thought it was cos I was going too fast in the rain. But maybe it was the diesel!!! Umm wonder if I could claim........
I was in my Black 200 FF, and in quick succession:
A Very nice looking racing blue 182 that come racing up behind me when I let a bus out on the A693 towards stanley, up from beamish.
A White 197 on the same road but up towards Adsa way
and finaly a White 200 about 1 minute later before the...
Did an apprenticeship in manufacturing maintenance, got the job through a company called connections. Did my apprenticeship for a brick company called Tarmac Topblock.
im 23, I can afford mine because I started an apprenticeship at 16. Been fully qualified for about 18th months and have a pretty decent job has a maintenance fitter :)
the tints are too dark in the shop(i didnt do it) but surly a light tint on the back should look decent?
top is back just tinted,
middle is front light tint back tinted
bottom tints n alloys black
edit: i really dont want a chav look btw!
just wondering what u lot think? I would really like some black speedlines but too expensive so the next best option would be to power coat the anthracites.
Also looking into tinting the back 3 windows and maybe a lighter tint on the front 2?
not the most detailed wash ever, but still please how it came up :) sorry about the iphone pics.
oh and thinking about getting windows tinted just wondering peoples opinion on that?
Just realised I missed a spot on my alloy 1st pic oops :(
used the search function and didnt really find what I was after.
Just wondering about the recomended running in period with a new 200, obviously the manual says dont go above 78mph and keep it between 2.5 & 3.5k revs for 650ish miles
should I follow this strictly? or just be gentle for a while?
Very happy with the all black :) didnt get a chance to get the speedlines because the car was already on the forecourt. pics where taken in sheffield m8
finance payment - £314
petrol - probally around £150 at the max
tax - £36 this year
Insurance £90 (should be cheeper come renewal in may)
i'll round it up to about £600
oh then my morgage and bills £540 :( :(
update: cant get either because I tried to get out of the deal with the garage for the new black 200 that I paid a deposit for and signed but I cant. The only thing I can do is withdraw from the finance deal and re finance it somewhere else but Cant find anywhere cheeper than 5.7% so I get my...
Cant decide which one to get the white or silver? Same age but white one has 5836 on clock and the silver has 12596. more or less the same price. Think I prefer the silver ummm
I'm going to go back to the dealer on wednesday, going to cancel unless I get some serious £££ knocked off. Still inside 14 days so I should be fine to cancel? Would I get my initial £200 deposit back?
Some of the insurance quotes here wow! I'm 23 and with 1yr nc it's going to cost me just under £1k to insure My 200. Being a home owner and married probably helps?
I happy to pay £314 a month, but guess I should of shopped around probally could of saved myself a grand or two? I only did this deal on Thursday so have got time to cancel but Im sure now to get a new clio 200 it would be hard for anything less than 18k
The clio extreme was on finance and the settlement on that was £4400 so had like £400 towards off.
all that comes to £15760 then + 20% vat = £18892 Then the 1st years road tax, new vehicle reg fee brings it to £19372 then minus £2000 deposit brings the finance to £17037. the purchase fee...
Think I've been done then? Ive put down a 2000 deposit got 4800 part exchange for my 59 Clio extreme and I'm paying £314 a month for 36 then got about 7400 left to pay if I want to. This is a Clio 200 with cup chasis. Price of car was just over £19000 with stuff like tyre protection and paint...
aye was thinking along them lines. They were trying to tell me that theres hardly any difference in sale price but surly if i had gone with the 60 plate to get it sooner I was basically buying a new car a year old?
As I said in my welcome thread I purchased a new Clio sport 200. Now I could of got the car on the 23rd of feb but the it would of been regd as a 60 plate so I've decided to wait till march the 1st for the new 11 plates.
Thing is though It seemed that the dealer really wanted me to have it...
