    I saw that! Mind = blown. I always thought black intercoolers were for a more descreet look, but now you think about it, it makes a lot of sense

    Please.... someone talk me out of it!

    Bah! I wouldn't do it man, your 200 looks the shizzle. As people say, you could Meg it, but it is pricey. If I was a little bit more mature, I'd have a Megane 250 without hesitation, I just know I'd miss having a little go-kart. I heard a new Megane the other day, pulling away at the lights that...

    Welcome mate! I'll be back to Stockton to see my parents in a couple of weeks so I'll keep an eye out!

    Welcome mate! Matches mine! I bought some RS centre caps for mine and they look sweet :)

    It's gonna have to happen then! I saw a Megane 250 today and my word, the noise... turbo whistle, blow-off fluttering, raspy exhaust, pops and bangs. Lovely. I saw it as I was test driving the Silverstone GP edition. Lovely car, looked after, and the full fat feels a much nicer place to be than...

    Edith, I like that. Cheers chaps that's really kind. Ideally I'd like to be swapped within a couple of weeks. Who knows what the winter will have in store though, maybe I'll get hold of a Meg engine if they're really that good!

    Seen it! Love it! Bit too far for me though, Steve. I'm not dead set on a Silverstone either, I'm just popping along to see if I fall for it as it's not too far. I'm already imagining it's a small world away from my non-A/C 197 cup!

    Ah Kev I have looked at a couple of Megs... they're so lovely but I might save it until I'm grown up a bit haha! I remember sitting in yours and thinking how grown up it felt compared to the Clio. I think I'd miss the little hatch too much. I'm yet to go out in a Meg'd Clio... Waiting for...

    Yeah it is that one. No way I'd pay that much for a Clio. Like you say I'd rather have a 200 FF with Recaro. I'll see what they can do but I wouldn't pay more than 11 given the age, spec and milage

    Hi everyone, Just thought I'd bring this up here as I'm guessing you'll know best! On Saturday, I'm off to test drive and have a look at #26 (I think) at a Renault dealer. It's up for nearly 13K with 10,300 miles on it. I have a 197 Cup and I am looking to swap it for a 200 FF with Cup pack...

    Mpg sorry for all the questions guys

    As my car still has an annoying rattle at ~ 2500rpm so I don't go above 2200 around town and get past this point as quickly as possible on to the motorways! Haven't had a spirited drive since it developed a few things that bug me so lately it's on 30.6 :) not bad for around town with the odd 10...

    Words cannot describe...

    My girlfriend just showed me this and I wondered if anyone else has seen it? I am actually lost for any words but swearing. In honesty I laughed a little at the guy behind the lens and his ridiculous commentary but the incident itself is actually mind boggling. Is it really that easy to get on...

    Cheers everyone! Yeah, Kev, I've seen Beefy's Leon and it's well smart, just the newer shape is out of our budget. I like the MK1 Leon but strangely, my girlfriend doesn't... Good shout on the Fiesta, a friend of mine has the panel sided van version and he reckons it's quite quick for what it...

    Looked at the Fabia and the grey seats put us off lol. We're looking to spend 3-4K so 1 series etc is out. Being sporty is not absolutely necessary, it just would be nice. All we don't want is something bland, boring and very sales reppy. I don't want to become my dad just yet! Have looked for...

    Cheap, sporty diesels

    Hello everyone, My Clio is going in lieu of a diesel for my girlfriend's new commute to work. Tried and tested this week and we don't fancy financing two and a half tanks per week... We're after getting a relatively cheap oil burner but keeping things reasonably sporty or cool. I'll be...
