PBerm Posted 10, December 2021 Report Share Posted 10, December 2021 Hi all, have been on here for a few months since purchasing my last car, a Clio 197, which I purchased as a stop gap until I found the right Clio 200 or Megane 250/265 (not easy these days). While I certainly enjoyed the 197 but never really loved it and found myself was always wanting a 200 or a Megane. I found this Clio 200 for sale in Queensland, looked like a great example, instantly put a deposit on it unseen and just received it yesterday. It's a White Clio Gordini, 56,000kms, akrapovic exhaust, OZ racing wheels, new tyres and just had a major service. It drives like new car and I'm now so happy to have sold the 197 and made the upgrade. Keen to attend some drives/ track days when they come up to get the best out of it! Will take some decent pics soon, but these are all I have for now. Also it doesn't have the Gordini stripes, if anyone knows where I can source these from please let me know, would be much appreciated.

dn2blue Posted 10, December 2021 Report Share Posted 10, December 2021 Looks amazing mate! Notice much difference in the drive compared to the 197? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfdpny Posted 10, December 2021 Report Share Posted 10, December 2021 Nice one. Great mechanical spec although you'll miss the Recaros. Id say don't bother about the stripes, always thougt they looked a bit gash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have noticed a big difference, but it's hard to tell if it's the model update or because it is a much nicer example with lower kms, akra, etc. Engine feels more responsive, but still needs high revs to really come alive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in a hurry to get them but would like it to stand out, especially as white Gordini's are rare. Would have loved the leather recaros but happy to have the leather seats and quite like the interior colour scheme, makes the car feel special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 13, December 2021 Report Share Posted 13, December 2021 Took this for a spin yesterday with @PBerm - great purchase! It's in beautiful condition, sounds great and looks great on the Oz Alleggeritas. Love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttimbo Posted 13, December 2021 Report Share Posted 13, December 2021 Try https://www.jestercreation.fr/ for the stripes. I’m sure they can create them if they don’t have them stock. Some form of FRB striping might look good 🤷♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus36 Posted 14, December 2021 Report Share Posted 14, December 2021 Congrats mate, fantastic spec! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerome Posted 14, December 2021 Report Share Posted 14, December 2021 I had no idea the Gordini's came in white. looks great against the black Alleggeritas. The recaros are nice, but I know my wife would happily swap them out with yours if given half a chance 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
