The lighting kits are fairly cheap- think im just going to order blue and white and see which I prefer -- might even go with white in the main roof liner lights, and try blue in the foot well and lower door cards

I like the spoiler, just make sure you get it painted the same colour as the rest of the car...

There are some very good deals about- especially if you shop around the dealerships...... 14k for this car is unbelievable value.

Here you go
The Clio Renault F1 Team R27 is a potent mix of an outstanding car dedicated to sheer performance, passion, and driving pleasure, this special edition of the Clio Renault Sport is exclusive in style, while handling very much like a sports car thanks to technological solutions borrowed from the world of motorsport. Clio Renault F1 Team R27 boasts a Cup chassis that gives it an even sportier feel and higher precision. It is powered by a 200hp (145kW) 2.0-litre 16V normally aspirated engine delivering 215Nm of torque. Designed by Renault Sport Technologies, the engine responds instantly to the open throttle. In keeping with the chassis setups, the Recaro bucket seats are equipped with side airbags. Its new Sirius Yellow colour and exclusive markings emphasise its athletic, pedigree shape. The Clio Renault F1 Team R27 is the perfect vehicle for celebrating Renault’s back-to-back F1 constructor world championships and offers motorsport enthusiasts some pedigree power.
Unveiled in Amsterdam on January 24 by drivers from ING Renault F1 Team, this special edition – dubbed the R27 – is the Clio family’s standard-bearer, much like its larger sibling Mégane Renault F1 Team R26. Developed by Renault Sport Technologies, Clio Renault F1 Team is assembled in Dieppe in France, at a plant dedicated to the production of Renault’s sports cars.
Chassis and setup effective in the extreme
Clio Renault F1 Team R27 benefits from the Cup chassis and 17-inch Dark Anthracite BeBop 17’’ wheels which combine to improve handling feel and precision. With a stance slung 7mm lower than Clio Renault Sport, it boasts a lower centre of gravity which reduces load transfer, so offering more effective cornering (with circuit time gains of 0.2s per kilometre). Its cornering power on the flat is further enhanced by damper setups and increased spring stiffness (+27% at the front, +30% at rear) for higher performance and extreme pleasure. With a 10% increase in bending stiffness and more flexible bump stops, the double-axis strut system derived directly from Clio Renault Sport expresses its full potential. It is more stable when braking and offers greater steering precision when negotiating bends in quick succession. Equipped with the Clio Renault Sport’s robust, powerful brake system derived from Mégane, Clio Renault F1 Team has 312mm ventilated disks at the front and 300mm solid disks at the rear.
A sporty, responsive, normally aspirated engine with output of 100hp per litre
Clio Renault F1 Team R27 is powered by a normally aspirated 2.0 16V engine (F4R RS). It can be adapted to equip competition cars like Clio Renault Sport, and delivers output of 145 kW at 7,250rpm. With a six-speed manual gearbox (TL4), it develops 215Nm of torque at 5,550rpm. The short-throw gear shifts ensure fast-response acceleration on all changes, while allowing the engine to “let rip”. At low revs it is unobtrusive, but comes it into is own when pushed to the limit. Clio Renault F1 Team goes from zero to 100kph in just 6.9 seconds and takes only 27.5 seconds to travel 1,000 metres from a standing start. With a fuel consumption of 8.4 litres per 100 km (199g CO2/km) its combined cycle intake is one of the lowest among sports cars with an equivalent engine package.
Renault F1 Team shows its colours
With its red Brembo four-piston brake callipers at the front, its new Sirius Yellow colour, and its exclusive Renault F1 Team and World Champion badging, this special edition of Clio Renault Sport brings its bigger sibling Mégane Renault F1 Team R26 immediately to mind. Derived from racing technologies, the air diffuser channels airflow to increase aspiration. Like the same feature on Clio Renault Sport, it produces downforce on the car’s rear end, so counteracting lift. Extractors on the front fenders reduce turbulence and facilitate the outflow of hot air from under the bonnet. In addition to Sirius Yellow, Clio Renault F1 Team also comes in three metallic colours (Deep Black and Makana Grey) and two nonmetallic ones (Toro Red and Dynamo Blue).
In the cabin, the bucket seats are equipped with side airbags and are especially adapted together with Recaro for the chassis setup. Adopting a real structural shell makes it possible to refine the seat design and reduce its weight while lowering the centre of gravity. The lowered shape and wrap-around seating provide a natural anti-submarining effect, so that the ESME device used on the production model does not need to be implemented. The seats hug their occupants, in keeping with the chassis setups of Clio Renault F1 Team. The harness fitting and neck restraint built into the back of the seat heighten the sporty look. The numbered plate alongside the handbrake leaves no doubt as to the unique character and firmly asserted sports car heritage of Clio Renault F1 Team R27.

Some guy on the Renaultsport forum is knocking them out for people for a very good price. It would so tempting for me to live with out a car for a few months and get somehing like this. Unfortunately I dont particlularly like the depreciation Renaults suffer

If you can get it for 14k - I cant see you loosing too much in a couple of years time --- limited edition car should hopefully hold its value better than renaults normally do....thats what im hoping anyway.

Unfortunetaly if you keep an eye on Cliosport.net a couple of guys who work at dealers are already offering sub 10k trade in's for normal 197's which in effect is going to have a knock on effect on any newer clios.
In all honesty you shouldnt worry about it cos you seem sooo made up with the car and at the end of the day it seems like its going to be kept for a while. Man its soo tempting to whaack a loan out....but I will refrain for this time in moment

The cooper s with the charger is a nice car-- I loved mine...... dont rate the new turbo version very much...... they are expensive for what they are though.
after driving this clio for a week I can really see where bmw held back on the mini...... brakes, tyres, exhaust, induction and seats are not good enough for the price they are charging- once you have changed all of those its a great car though.

I am probably going to take a look at what else is avalible in two years time- I like the idea of a new car and a new warrante every couple of years--- gonna take something special to make me part with this though.

Can see what your saying -- but if I was sensible I would have bought a volvo ......... I quite like the blue ones
it not the fact the other colours dont look sensible, its more the fact they just look plain tacky!
Not to mention the fact that they have a function. My mate has blue ones in his car, and they don't really help for finding things tbh
