Show Us Your Motors!

Just bought a new (March 2012) Clio 200 Cup (private sale not a demo), 1300 miles on the clock.

You've got to wonder why someone is selling a four month old Clio RS with 1300miles on it though...

Recession white kinda suits it.

Potentially, but I wouldn't be that worried because of the dealer's warranty that would apply. If there was a problem the seller would have fixed it not sold it. Could just be that the seller couldn't afford it or didn't like it.
 
I sold mine after 16 months with 4500 miles on the clock. Things change and you have to adapt. For me it meant the car went (good decision on my behalf) but it doesn't necessarily mean it's been sold for sinister reasons.

Enjoy it, they are great cars although I'm not sure I could have lived with the Cup day to day. I went for a full fat with cup pack so had the best of both worlds.
 
Interior on the Cup is "functional", nothing to write home about but build quality seems up there with an Astra VXR and a Focus ST i've had (actually that had quite bad build quality/finish!) but it a bit too early too really tell.
Electrics are fine.....my wife has an 07 Scenic and thats been fine the 3.5 years we have had it, no problems what so ever in 30k miles.
Build is supposedly quite a lot better than the 172/182 era cars and even an improvement over the 197.
Its all standard (spoiler is an option) apart from clear indicator bulbs front and rear, stubby aerial (stock longer aerial hits the spoiler when you open the boot!), proper carbon fibre end plates on the spoiler (stock are plastic with "carbon effect weave"), debadged "Clio" from bootlid, black Renault badge covers and Heko wind deflectors.

not sure where you got 15 from :confused:

Sorry I missed your 'mid'

I'd of never been able to afford a Clio Cup at 20 though. If you can, lucky!

It was the black badges that looked pretty cool to me, wasn't sure if they came like that or not. Does look sharp with those details though~ !
