jaybyme 29-06-2009, 11:42:42 One of the lads from the German Megane forum heard that the RS250 was at the ring,so popped along to get some pictures.

what's happened to the nice Recaro's
jaybyme 29-06-2009, 11:48:00 reading the thread further,both types of seat were fitted,
So also the Recaro's from the Clio
Jon Seal 29-06-2009, 11:55:10 Liking that a lot
Matty 29-06-2009, 12:00:05 Seats will be optional i recon.
V44VAA 29-06-2009, 12:00:24 It's growing on me
denty 29-06-2009, 12:00:50 very nice, il be having one of those :D
Naith 29-06-2009, 12:01:35 oh no, its growing on me!
rear is still average at best mind :(
Jimbo 29-06-2009, 12:18:56 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.
misterC 29-06-2009, 12:22:14 It's growing on me
oh no, its growing on me!
rear is still average at best mind :(
ooh blimey - ditto !!
Rich
V44VAA 29-06-2009, 12:25:45 ooh blimey - ditto !!
Rich
Question now is... LY or White?!!
misterC 29-06-2009, 12:28:38 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
Rich
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 :)
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!!
D
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.
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
BlackRat250 29-06-2009, 17:53:09 Ive got to get the standard seats this time :(
V44VAA 29-06-2009, 17:58:15 Ive got to get the standard seats this time :(
Don't be gay, the kid goes in the back ;)
BlackRat250 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.
Vtec Abuser 29-06-2009, 22:02:12 http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa136/jaybyme/RS250/Megane3RSTest1.jpg
Astra VXR anyone? LOL
Seriously though I am really liking the look of it as aa whole.. Thumbs up from me.
BlackRat250 29-06-2009, 22:03:10 like the red with black alloys
Tony225 29-06-2009, 22:10:19 Lush silver 1 for me :D
The red one's just put me off... it really does screem out A-VXR...
Would have to be the yellow for me...
Scullder 30-06-2009, 11:19:52 how hard can it be to take a picture where you can se the whole freaking car??
V44VAA 30-06-2009, 11:26:25 how hard can it be to take a picture where you can se the whole freaking car??
Excellent 50th post (in two years), nice contribution!!!
SaintDP 30-06-2009, 11:28:06 Red 250 I think for me.
how hard can it be to take a picture where you can se the whole freaking car??
How hard can it be to just imagine the front 40% of the car instead of moaning about it?
Naith 30-06-2009, 12:10:05 how hard can it be to take a picture where you can se the whole freaking car??
:signs057: got imagination?
sh33n 30-06-2009, 12:12:25 "Hi, I'd like to buy the new Megane please, do you have any pictures of it?"
"No, but imagine it"
"Oh yer it's great, here's my 20k".
Naith 30-06-2009, 12:28:58 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
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 ;)
cactusbob 30-06-2009, 12:50:43 I don't know which is worst: Scullders original comment or you guys bitching about it :)
Naith 30-06-2009, 12:52:35 you piping up is up there too ;)
Muler36 30-06-2009, 13:15:56 It looks too plain, nowhere mean enough!
cactusbob 30-06-2009, 14:17:27 you piping up is up there too ;)
Couldn't help myself ;)

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....
conley 30-06-2009, 18:36:20 http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa136/jaybyme/RS250/Megane3RSTest14.jpg

Probably just a cracked one.
loose cannon 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
meganeturbojkd 30-06-2009, 19:55:55 I love the new renaultsport Megane personally
ClaneO 30-06-2009, 20:25:04 i think the silver one looks awesome, i dont usually like silver on cars! definately a grower, must resist!!
Rob R26 30-06-2009, 22:41:59 :eek: I am starting to like it.
Modern07 30-06-2009, 22:46:04 Doesn't do it for me at all I'm sorry to say
ClaneO 30-06-2009, 22:48:13 why arent they gonna do it in Alien green like the 200? would love to see it!
meganeturbojkd 01-07-2009, 07:02:11 White would look good with black wheels
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.
scruffty 01-07-2009, 13:41:00 we just need a price before we all get bored and buy an audi (lol) or save up...
jaybyme 01-07-2009, 19:50:40 White would look good with black wheels

Not too sure what colour I would like, so far I've always brought black, so will most probably stick with tradition.
denty 01-07-2009, 19:57:19 yellow or white for me I think :D

Want that one! Like it again now.. lol
Tony225 01-07-2009, 20:21:19 White looks very good but how much longer will it be in fashion?
About the same time as Red? lol
Tony225 01-07-2009, 20:27:40 lol yeah around a year or two at most
carlf 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!!
meggerman 01-07-2009, 22:47:53 http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w241/AnthonyRozendaal/DSC_8047.jpg?id=670
http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w241/AnthonyRozendaal/DSC_8451.jpg?id=670
looks more aggressive and sporty than the last one, although the 225,r26 still look ace imo.
jaybyme 02-07-2009, 06:29:41 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.
Rich

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!
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 !
hainesy 02-07-2009, 21:11:13 Growing on me, but I would have to do some serious creeping to the misses before I am able to buy a new car:banghead:
meganeturbojkd 02-07-2009, 21:13:38 I love the white one with black wheels - think thats my next car guys lol

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 .
