Lovely color, has it been dropped? Looks damn low.

Very nice, 6'bore. Great stance and eye appeal.
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...

2006-2009 Renault Clio = phase III has the 197 hp engine, no?
Great choice! Congratulations on your new ride. Maybe a little test drive?
Nice car. Shame it's not available in the states.

Ah OK, now I understand your point. I was only referring to the power output of manufacturer.
Honestly I am not that much into Renault's actual power output figures. It is a bit of a letdown though as the 2006-2009 model weighs 230 kg more.
It comes as no surprise though as other manufacturers have the same issue. Manufacturer's figure is not always without doubt. Most of the times engines deliver less power, sometimes a little more.
Few examples (average measures) for Alfa Romeo:
147 2.0 TS - 150 hp > 146 hp (-4 hp)
GT 2.0 JTS 16v - 166 hp > 140 hp (-16 hp)
MiTo 1.4 16v T-Jet - 155 hp > 160 hp (+5 hp)
Mito QV - 170 hp > 163 hp (-7 hp)
I remember some British luxury cars were really far off versus the actual output as well.

Cheers for the comments guys!
The car is lowered on bilstein coilovers and the exhaust is a full custom system with a sports cat.
Recently fitted an RS2 manifold, which is basically a different induction setup. Had it rolling roaded and it came up at 197bhp but it isn't yet mapped properly so I'm hoping for over 200 with decent mapping.
And in the summer I shall be purchasing a different car at which point I will take the Clio off road, strip it and supercharge it for track use. Looking for in the region of 300bhp which is easily achievable.

"The thunder of 1001bhp would send a sonic boom through his carbon fibre shell, crack it in half and leave a wet puddle on the fancy leather seat."
That would be wicked!
