The Clio's replacement...

[MENTION=29]foxspeed[/MENTION] Have you still got hot Megane? How do you like it?

no mate I had the opportunity to get something a bit "exotic" so traded it in...

having said that they are a superb motor the capability on b roads is immense and have the "look" :jedi:

Ohhh I see. Yours was awesome looking and had the right spec! What did you change for? I was worried that the Clio might have had an upper hand for fun on the B roads but glad to hear the Megane will be just as good or better :smile:.

megane is effortless and then when you want to go really quickly you just press the "rs" button - was flipping great in the trophy!!!

got a Porsche!
 
I went from a 197 to a 265, best decision I ever made. Such a capable, focused performer. Weapon on a car.

they certainly are and given technically how old the under pinnings are its a revelation that more modern chassis still struggle to keep up!
 
It's a financial balancing act with what car you buy and what you intend to do with it for me my new 220T covers all the basis

yes exactly - why I bit the bullet and changed whilst I can and have a few years of fun in something a bit more extreme :foxspeed:

would go back to a megane anytime...a cup-s is still on the radar for me :zomg:
 
Glad to hear that [MENTION=132]ben_r1[/MENTION]. I've loved owning the Clio but boost is calling and after driving the Megane and taking a look at other options I just kept coming back to the Megane. I'll have a huge smile on my face driving it home on Saturday!
 
The Clio was picked up by its new owner tonight, I had the Megane well minted up today in work. Some pics just before I bring it home after my shift tomorrow;

Got it this afternoon and stretched its legs this afternoon, going to try get it a good spin tomorrow.l but I'm very very impressed so far. Fantastic car and much more understated than the Clio which is what I wanted [emoji16].
 
The Megane had a nose job today. The front end needed something to tie in with the brake calipers and seat belts. Ordered a replacement front blade, half red and half black.

Just a quick one from the weekend just passed. No more updates with the exception of my cherish transfer. Toying with the idea of a trip to RS Tuning again this year once I get a few performance bits fitted to the Megane!

I have added a couple more bits since last online here. I've a Scorpion cat back exhaust fitted and also a Stage 2 Airtec FMIC.

The car is currently away having a couple of wheels refurbished as there was small kerb marks on them when I purchased it. I am also booked into RS Tuning for a map and will be looking to possibly add a downpipe and induction kit before I head over.

Front tyres are almost knackered too so I've ordered up some AD08r tyres as I've always wanted to run them to see what the fuss is about!


Although the paintwork is in excellent condition, I take pride in how the car looks year round so have booked it in for a full correction detail and hydrophobic coating for mid June. The same guy worked wonders on the Clio and I know this is a much newer car I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's done :smile:

Some photos over the last while;
