One of the lads from the German Megane forum heard that the RS250 was at the ring,so popped along to get some pictures.

So also the Recaro's from the Clio

i love this! looks very nice. especially the silver one.

Steve Saunders
29-06-2009, 12:20:05
Wouldn't say i dislike it, but it doesn't do anything for me if I'm honest.

Certainly won't be swapping the .R for one.

Question now is... LY or White?!!

Neither for me , both had there day those particular colours ;)

I'm likin' that red actually , especially with black wheels

Looks good. that solid yellow's not too bad, but I prefer the red.

paul_r26
29-06-2009, 12:34:02
look svery nice in silver :)

Dan
29-06-2009, 12:47:42
I'm liking it more and more, but still doesn't completely do it for me.

The wheels aren't great tbh.

I'm sure once they are out and they get all the versions introduced, i'll be interested.

I guess that's front parking sensors also?

sh33n
29-06-2009, 12:48:11
Is that LY or some other yellow, doesn't seem to sparkle as much as LY, looks very drowdy.

Silver looks best.

Matty
29-06-2009, 13:01:41
Deff not LY

LY will not be ava on the 250 as its been built on the normal production line in spain. Only Dieppe has the facility for LY

Meg250Ry
29-06-2009, 13:29:13
Silver and black looks HAWT!

how wide are them front wings, liking them more and more

I think the wheels should be 19's though

LYSumo
29-06-2009, 13:42:08
The silver with black rims looks MUCH SEXIER than I thought!!

I reckon the wheel size issue will be like the M3 - 18's drive and car handles better but 19's look fab. Suppose the choice depends whether you are a "driver" or "hairdresser" type!!

hallett
29-06-2009, 15:13:36
the front looks awesome but the back is terrible, it looks like a standard meg with a central exhaust :(

jaybyme
29-06-2009, 16:51:20
with the cup pack, Recaro's 19" wheels etc it will be pretty good, I'm sure.
Bet it will be again the hot hatch to beat.
Will I be able to resist it once the write up start appearing in mags,saying how good it is ?
I doubt it very much.

Jono
29-06-2009, 17:07:51
Still DON'T like,
But there is gonna be one @ RWS to be able to see it in the flesh

bluediamond
29-06-2009, 17:44:21
it looks quite nice in silver but im not blown away by it. Would like to see one in white and crazy alien green lol :o

29-06-2009, 17:59:19
mate, my thoughts exactly. But if shes going to do that, she's going to sell the Clio !!!

V44VAA
29-06-2009, 18:04:40
Tell her Recaro's are still doable, the baby is safer is the back of a 3-door ;)

Anyhooooos, surely the airbag can be de-activated.

BlackRat250
29-06-2009, 18:11:07
Its the airbag issue mate.

V44VAA
29-06-2009, 18:15:01
Its the airbag issue mate.

Compromise time then and the 1st 250 to have this spec... Half and Half, driver Recaro and passenger standard ;)

Cooper
29-06-2009, 18:46:32
The red one looks rather nice. Which is a bit annoying, thought i'd talked myself into getting an R26R aswell...

_daveR
29-06-2009, 18:48:30
Silver is the looker by far. Very mean.

Seriously though I am really liking the look of it as aa whole.. Thumbs up from me.

BlackRat250

Tony225
29-06-2009, 22:10:19
Lush silver 1 for me :D

Nez
29-06-2009, 22:13:03
The red one's just put me off... it really does screem out A-VXR...

Would have to be the yellow for me...

"No, but imagine it"

if a guy cant go on the web and search pics, and/or piece together pics that a none photographers gone out in his own time to show a community then what you expect...

V44VAA
30-06-2009, 12:32:12
Type Renaultsport 250 in to Google and you get 35,800 pics, not all of them are the 250 mind, but you'll get the idea.

These pics are some of the 1st non-promotional pictures taken.

f1 kev
30-06-2009, 12:32:41
Don't think ill be rushing down the showroom just yet, but its seriously growing on me. Lets see what they do with it in the future, I'm sure there will be a few different versions planed. One of them will have me emptying my Piggy bank I'm sure

Arun
30-06-2009, 12:33:35
exactly what naith said, I meant piece it together from the other pics, not 'make it up in your head'

Naith
30-06-2009, 12:43:39
yeh, comedy central needed to pipe up tho, we knew what we were on about ;)

Silver one looks smart and you can see the Recaro's in this one.

They all look quite high though.

Is that grooved discs also?

Scoobyr
30-06-2009, 15:50:47
Quite like the look of the silver one, more importantly, be interested to see how it drives :D Hopefully the Renaultsport guys have weaved their magic on it....

30-06-2009, 19:28:55
not to bad dont like the wheels there horrid look ok in black i suppose, id put on the old meggie wheels if i had 1. much nicer though they needed something new i suppose but please start again as they look like flowers
think id have to get rid of that exhaust it looks gash sorry only original mini's
can have a single centre exhaust and it looks horrid in red but then most cars do, sorry red car fans but it looks pooo

I love the new renaultsport Megane personally

ClaneO
30-06-2009, 20:25:04

White would look good with black wheels

Dan
01-07-2009, 09:00:15
I think silver covers the all the gaps in the body kit.

Really wish they made it look tidier and smooth, especailly the rear like the 225.

01-07-2009, 13:41:00

Not too sure what colour I would like, so far I've always brought black, so will most probably stick with tradition.

01-07-2009, 22:17:44
Oh no! Really liking the silver one. Just when I convinced myself I needed the stage 3 package. Think a trip to the dealers will be on the cards shortly to order a silver one with recaros and black wheels mmm!!

looks more aggressive and sporty than the last one, although the 225,r26 still look ace imo.

Thing that is slightly putting me off rushing out and ordering the RS 250 is Renaults policy of bringing out special models.
I'd hate it if I brought the RS250 and 1 year later they brought out an F1 version or similar

Scullder
02-07-2009, 07:28:04
well, excuse me ...

here ... maybe this is a better contribution ... I think it looks almost pornish ...

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w241/AnthonyRozendaal/DSC_8763.jpg

Is it just me, or do the rims appear to be a little small in this one? There are no 17"s on the 250, right?

misterC
02-07-2009, 07:59:09
The red one's just put me off... it really does screem out A-VXR....

the back end might as well have a vxr badge on it anyway,regardless of the colour.

But it is growng on me that's for sure.

Exactly we just know that they will!

Just got to get a decent discount when u buy it brand new to offset the amount you'll lose when they bring out new version after new version!

Jono
02-07-2009, 16:47:59
Its horrid sorry fellas!!!
To many panel joints
To much like VXR.
Hopefully its a grower but cant see it this time around!!

meggerman
02-07-2009, 17:00:35
there will definatley be newer models with extra bits like perhaps full leather recaros.. im even worried that they will cheapen the rs brand with almost ford focus style 'elle' and 'black series' versions on top which basically have a slightly different paint and some extra kit.

also im sure RWS will feature in the future models as it can make a fatty non hardcore laguna gt corner faster than a porsche boxster !

I think the yellow one its the cup version because it has different tyres and seat check it says RENAULT SPORT and in the first page it only say R.S. and its a different seat like .
