Picked her up Saturday morning and spent the afternoon driving it like it was supposed to be driven.
It is sublime!
More refined than the Clio, quieter inside, well made.
OK so maybe it is a little less chuckable than the clio was, not as raw etc. etc. but it's a lot more stable at speed and the LSD works wonders!
Recaro's FANTASTIC! really nice place to be inside overall to be honest.
Brembo's will rip your face off if you stamp on them lol.
'Mods' so far....
-New wipers
-£40 of petrol
-Silvervisions
-LED number plate bulbs
Plans to come:
-Health check from BTM
-Engine oil change with minor service (filters etc)
-Exhaust mount
-Gear box oil change
-Brake Fluid change
Future plans:
-Megane 250 steering wheel if thats possible
-Exhaust from BTM
-Braided lines
-DS 2500 Pads
-Wheels refurbed
-Two new hankook V12's
-TPI polorized wheel nuts
-HID's maybe, I do miss how bright the clio's lights where in comparrison.
-Maybe some lowering springs
-Remap Stage 1
Coments on plans?
Anyway You all know what one looks like but here you go anyway after a quick buff up:

Awesome thanks, will give it a shot soon. Had enough today doing the window reg
MOT today, failed first time round on the following
-Headlight aim too low
-Drivers vision obstruction
So after I wheeled up the headlights and removed my air freshener it passed.
The following where advisories:
-Indicator lamp slightly discolored
-Mark in offside rear tyre wall
-Rear bake pads 50% worn
All rather strange advisories/reasons to fail if you ask me but it's done for another year...

Seriously, did I mention it was a Renault main dealer?
Hi mate did you decide to try test fitting a 250 steering wheel yet, a it's on my wish list but need to know if the wheel fits, and if the airbag and cruise control switches are plug and play

Just had two new arrivals... well I lie three....
Chip master kit:
OEM rear pads - BARGAIN at £29

Picked my car up and a quick polish later am happy with it for a bit. Think the grubby decals will have to come off though. ��
