Well i cant show you till tonight when i get home but there is a new shape renaultsport 225 in the F1 colour.

Looks really nice actually but i dont like the colour myself...lil too light for me. However.. its for full black leather recaro seats in the front.

Also noticed that the rear lights arent flush. they have a small area that sticks out a little bit....still like the lights though

Im gonna try and get a proper look at it if i can find out who has the keys

knowing renault they will have cheapend the revised version and skimped on little touches as they know there not gonna sell loads and at the price they want. they did it with the 182MKII over the 172MKII, changed for a bit more style but actually took away some nice touches and made a few things cheaper to save money

ahhhh...this is the full leather. Not too much difference between the recaros and these.

Another thing you will notice if and when you sit in a full leather megane is that the seats are alot more firmer than the half leather ones!!!

i found the full leather didn't grip my sides as well when i tried a demo out, felt like the seats in the old 1'4 dynamique were a closer fit too!!

cant complain about the half leather, seats really grip my sides when driving.

The one the pics is of is a press car though i thought all cars ordered for delivery after today could be the facelifted one

certainly the factory isnt making phase 1 cars anymore.

Jon - have you read the 2006 press release about the f1 and phase II 225's?

New Mégane Renaultsport 225 Renault F1 Team special edition

Giving the New Mégane 2006 even more impact is the launch of a new special edition, Mégane Renaultsport 225 Renault F1 Team, to celebrate Renaults 2005 Constructors and Fernando Alonsos Drivers Formula 1 World Championship titles.

Based on the Mégane Renaultsport 225 Cup - and therefore three-door Sport Hatch - the eye-catching newcomer offers a powerful combination of track-proven technology and £1,450 worth of equipment for only £900 more than the Cup, at a price of £19,500.

In addition to the standard specification of the Cup version, the latest hot hatch from Renaults performance division gains: 60W CD/MP3 RDS radio, climate control, new "black-gloss" 18" spoked lightweight alloys with matching door mirrors and blue/black Recaro front sports seats and blue detailing on the steering wheel and gearshift gaiter. Standard equipment on the Cup includes: Cup Chassis (includes Brembo front brakes, disconnectable ESP (Electronic Stability Programme), uprated dampers and springs and shock absorbers to reinforce the sensation of rigidity and augment cornering ability), plus cruise control with speed limiter, exclusive Dunlop SportMaxx tyres and trip computer.

As you would expect when it comes to the glamorous world of Formula 1, the new special edition certainly isnt lacking in image or exclusivity, boasting Ultra Blue paintwork, a numbered plaque at the base of the centre console, plus unique Renault F1 Team decals and badging on the front wings and front and rear bumpers. The production level is not limited to a specific number.
