    It's Gone!

    Unfortunately, the yearning for another 'turbo kick' has recently got the better of me and the Cup was traded in last week against a pre-reg Mazda 3 MPS. Completely different car but they're both great entertainment and good value in their own right. I've posted a couple of new pics below and...

    One 'last' blast! Made me realise . . . .

    Having recently decided to advertise my 200 for sale due to a change in work location and a lack of use, I decided this morning to get up early and take it for one 'last' country blast to North Wales through Snowdonia ending-up at Black Rock Sands near Porthmadog. This 'quick drive out' ended...

    Colour transfer on standard 200 seats

    Anyone else had this problem? Who on earth at Renault decided that silver coloured cloth inserts were practical on the standard 200 seats? I have always been very careful and weary of marking the trim but noticed yesterday that there was some blue colour transfer (presumably from jeans) on...

    New Rims and De-Badged

    After quite a bit of pondering, decided to go for OZ Ultraleggera's in 8x17" (et55) in matt black. Many thanks in particular to Mark_1873, Raptor6767, Boxster and Woody who helped me make my mind up. They were fitted today and I'm chuffed to bits! Think they look so much meaner than the...

    Wheel offset, PCD and centre bore

    What are these critical dimensions for a standard 200 Cup wheel (not Speedline)? Someone at a 'dealership' has told me that the offset is et50! but from the more reliable info I'm reading here, am I right in assuming that they're the same et68 offset as the 197 rims? Help!!! I'm confused.

    Anyone fitted 8" wide rims?

    I have a 'bargain basement' spec 200 cup with the standard anthracite alloys. I'm considering a 17" wheel upgrade to 8" width and was just wondering whether there are any 200/197 owners out there who have already gone down this route. Any pics and also advice on an appropriate offset (I think...

    Hi there!

    Have owned my GW 200 Cup since January and I love it. Have just started using the forums and just thought I'd say hi. :)
