Swapping this:

Cant wait to actually pick it up on Friday and just in time for a 600 mile round trip to Liverpool for a long weekend! Should be good for a run in.

So jelous. I love the 200 in black. Toting with the idea myself instead of something more normal.

Totally the best colour! Opted for the darker tinted windows this time to go with the black, but opted on the anthracite pack so that it highlighted the interesting bits like the front grille/spoiler and diffuser. otherwise i felt they got lost all in black. stuck with standard cup wheels which i love to be honest, as i know a lot of you will probably say shouldve gone for speedlines.

THats the first 200 I've seen front on, that I like, the colours are perfect together! Nice swap mate!

Great looking motor! Both of them infact! Hope you enjoy it.

Absolutely nothing, really loved the car! Thats why I'm getting another one, well a 200 anyway. The 197 is 20 months old, time to swap.

 

[jase]

what sort of deal did you get.?

 

[ben_r1]

20 months is hardly old lol, I planned to keep mine 4 a good few years yet!

 

[rickyk]

what sort of deal did you get.?

08 197 trade in at Renault for £10,800, new 200, after extras was £18,500. £290 a month over 3 years, but will probably trade in again after 2 years and maybe there will be a Gordini by then!

Good swap!!!

The more I see the 200, the more I like it! Im with Ben though - I wont be swapping mine for a while yet!

Congrats mate looks a very nice car:thumbup1:

 

[jase]

Would like a black 200 but I'm worried that a new version maybe on the way very soon.

 

[RBlueVillan]

Deep black with the Anthracite exterior pack looks great :thumbup1:

That was what I said to the salesman yesterday, and she didn't seem to think that the Gordini Clio would be out for a couple of years yet. She may be wrong though...............

I'm with Jase on that one! The rumour is 2011 and that's what I'm hoping for - ideal swap time.

That is a sweet looking car though. I have a problem with the look of the 200 in every colour other than black and nimbus. I bet that 600 mile trip will be grins all the way :redface:
