Default Renault Clios..new ones

Afternoon all,

Can someone help me out here, seeing these quite often on the road now wondering what they are. Haven't been able to find a pic of one because I don't know exactly what they are called. They are a new shape renault clio, only seem to see them in white and with a black flag type pattern set over the rear quarter and a single exit twin exhaust on the nearside rear. Tried to have a go against one a few weeks back seemed to give it a bit then seemed to back off and just let me pass. What are they called exactly and what engines do they have? They look pretty decent for a small little car as well in my opinion, would like to know more if anyone can help out.


Cheers!

I live in London too. Didn't sound like this one was trying...1.4 might explain a bit more though

Still curious about them as to what they are...

Yeah looks like that mate only one tailpipe is slightly longer than the other, they ain't both flush and the 3 I've seen have all been in white with flag decals down the quarter and I think black multispokes.

Dealer special... They do em up here in the Midlands, probably brought out of the Autotrader and made its way down your end.

Normally 1.2/1.4s...
