Welcome to the queue! Not bothering with the Recaros?

Unless you have been lucky to sneak into an existing dealers order slot i wouldnt expect it to arrive so soon. Im Oct 8th and ive been waiting since June 14th (feels like an eternity fyi) lol.

 

[ForceIndia]

Storm grey is not nice in the flesh! Enjoy though, good cars.

 

[Jaws]

Looks cool as feck to me! Great choice!

I ordered june 15th and still heard nothing.... what extras you ordered? seats and speedlines me so im guessing mine may be a little later due to not an off the shelf car as such?

Storm grey :dead:

Best of luck with it!

 

[Gaz_]

He'll probably sell it 2 months later like the 197 he had

 

[RexinaTrophy]

Nah! I've had the Trophy for over two years now and ready to move on.

Haha glad its not just me then! As for extras i spec'd Aircon, Cup spoiler and Black speedlines so i wouldnt call mine off the shelf either! From what ive been told we have been waiting in a queue, mine is due to leave the factory at the start of Sept and then its anyones guess as to what makes them decide to ship. Do they wait for X amount to arrive at the depot? Do they ship on a set date every month? Who knows :S

 

[Gally]

It's still fugly but at least you're a hero!

 

[fUbAr]

Ah well, at least yours will be rare.

 

[Brett]

Nice spec. Shame theres no recaros they're pretty awesome.

 

[ForceIndia]

Nice spec. Shame theres no recaros they're pretty awesome.

They are. But yellow seats in a grey car? No.

 

[Gally]

Remind me what walloper came up with the yellow seats idea?

Nearly as bad as head of design on the Gordini,

 

[Ronnie R]

Nice one mate.

 

[trailerparktrev]

Nice one and I seem to recall you not having your 197 for very long too.

 

[Da]

The yellow seats really aren't that obvious in the flesh you know

Nice choice of car, not taken on the storm grey myself - but I'm sure you'll love it! :approve:

 

[Jamie]

Isn't there like a f**king rim of yellow? The 200 I looked at had feck all yellow on the Recaro's.

The centre section is yellow/grey. Horrid imo, but each to their own. I'd much rather wait for a set of 197 recaro's to come up for sale.

 

[ForceIndia]

Not as awful as this though

 

[richard1]

Nice choice

 

[Joeh]

I love storm grey, in the top 2 colours alongside alien green imo
nice choice

 

[OFFROADNICK]

had my white 200 with cup chassie for a year now and i think its the best thing since sliced bread wise choice my man:approve:

 

[Jamie]

I really don't remember them being that yellow. Although the Recaros I looked at were leather optioned up.

 

[g.cameron]

Leather recaro's are the shizz, shoulda specced them, and the speedlines.

Storm Greys an ID paint anyway so shoulda went for the seats and wheels too.

Good luck with the car, sure it'll be great.




Regards to Renault FR shipping, its just when they get a boat full of cars, they ship. Cost effective, no point in shipping a few cars here and there,
No business would run like that

 

[JCC]

Are leather Recaros available in the Clio now? They were never an option when I bought mine.

Makes sense really. I suppose thats why Factory > Dealer times vary so much depending if your car makes it onto the end of a queue of others awaiting shipping or yours is first after just missing the boat lol

Yep, in the right colour they look great.

New 200 without spec'ing the Recaro's. Poor choice.

I refer you to the thread over on RenaultSport forums: 15k & Recaro's are looking tired (once again). My experience & rant

Its the reason i didnt spec them as well tbh!

Nonsense.

 

[Whisker biscuit]

1st time iv actually seen or heard of storm grey tbh, looks fcukin sweet in that pic dont see how it can be so bad in the flesh ?

 

[EllD90]

Maybe look like primer to the average joe? I can't decided if I like it or not. Hmmmm. Would love them to do a gunmetal grey!

 

[wigglywoo]

I'm sure you will love it! Wish I had gone for the speedlines but the car I bought was in the showroom and I didn't want to have to wait months for a new build.

 

[hollandcup]

That colour looks amazing, would like to see one in the flesh to see if it really is that bad in person cant see it would be tbh!?

There seems to be a shortage of 200's in my area only ever seen one on the road, anyone fancy taking me out in theirs?

Beer tokens provided of course

 

[R-Sport.]

Renault do the red stitched leather option on the interior & recaros-- looks epic

S

 

[ForceIndia]

In pics, it looks very similar to lunar grey, touch darker maybe. In the flesh it looks like clay, very dull, flat and lifeless. Imo.
The dealer I picked mine up at had one as a demo. As the salesman said, it's a bit bloody nasty lol.

Bright colours seem to suit the shape best, red looks great.
