Nimbus Grey Clio RS 197
Discussion
After 3 1/2 years I finally moved on from the Peugeot 206 GTi, to somthing with marginally better seats 
Bought this in November for £4,200. Quite happy with her.
I've also done a quick video review it would be great to have some thoughts on chaps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic2tA52QOfc
Overall it works very well as an everyday car. Will be good to see what the handling is like once I've got rid of the winter tyres in march, at the moment it isn't quite as sharp as the old Pug on AD08s. I'm thinking of some Eagle F1 Asymmetric as they won Evo summer tyre test this year.
I should point out this isn't an R27, it is a late 2006 Full Fat. It has the R27 sticker pack, not sure if this was a factory option? I don't think it detracts from it. I think the powder coated black wheels with yellow calipers works well and the french style fogs at least match the calipers.
It benefits from a stainless steel cat back system and pops and crackles on the overrun quite a bit, which I approve of
Not too boomy on the motorway, I do mainly motorway miles with work and the cruise control, and supportive seats make up for the extra decibels. This is what is sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKG6FOlMWUI&fea...
Only plans for it are a brake fluid change, some Ferado DS2500 pads all around with some new OEM disks, and possibly braided hoses. There was a bit of a spongy pedal on the downhill cheddar gorge run, so want to give the brakes some attention before I book her in at Castle Combe to see what she can do.
