Picked up the 225 :)

[Djw John]

Hi all, as you may or may not have seen we've recently bought the below car, 54 plate, not quite 36k, new belt, plus, coils etc etc and we picked it up yesterday, loving it so far despite a few niggles that you'd expect on a 7 year old French hot hatch, nothing drastic or unfixable though

Anyway a pic tells a thousand words so heres a dissertation;

Plans (which will be a slow process) are a new standard splitter, projector headlights, black handles, r26 wheels in anthracite, debadge the rear and ph2 rear lights. To start with anyway

All comments welcome

John

[Ash87]

[Gaz85]

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Nice bus !! :approve:

The engine bay is a thing of beauty though, huh ? Oh my. :dapprove:

 

[Djw John]

Thanks all, we really are liking it.

Yeah the engine bay is fairly dull but easy to clean I guess!

 

[Scrooge]

Lovely car, full leather aswell.

 

[Scott™]

I'm wanting one of these more and more Very tidy x

 

[montana]

Nice, I have just been looking at these on trader again after your other thread

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Looks lovely John really like that.

 

[Djw John]

Heated fronts too. TBH at times I think my wife is so happy with them being heated it could've been in anything

Thanks all

 

[Jewson172]

Very nice

 

[Will.]

Nice. Very nice. Good idea with the door handles. Will make it not as obvious as a 5 door. I don't like 5doors.

Im glad you mentioned your wife... I was about to comment on your lovely looking handbag :rasp:

 

[Djw Dave]

<3 the boost barge

Yeah and with anthracite wheels, eventually, they will look even more random than they do just now!

Lorna says thanks

<3 the boost barge

>3 your face x

Was peeing down pretty much all of today so all I managed to do was remove all the window stickers, the M E G A N E is next on the list!

 

[Kieran..]

love these even in 5 doors

 

[smallbaws]

thats braw bud

 

[Hixle]

I like this a little too much. Great buy mate.

 

[Dunn]

Looks good.

Not a fan of 5 doors but that's me.

R26 wheels will make it look a lot better

 

[Djw John]

LOL! Cheers all, thats the back debadged now and it looks better for it, once the exhaust tips arent black anymore and ph2 lights (with silvervisions obv ) then that'll be the rear end done and dusted.

 

[Naith]

looks really well that, odd bit and bob here and there and it will look perfect!

 

[Djw John]

Cheers Naith

 

[chriscummins7]

Awesome choice! I actually really like that on the stadard wheels.

Nice handbag too

 

[Brett]

Looks good.

Do they drive any different to the 3 door ones?

 

[Saner]

so, since the ph1 1.4 you've had how many cars?

Yet the 1.4 is still the avatar, knows it.

Meg looks luuuuvvvvly tho!

 

[caymanr26]

I prefer those wheels to R26 wheels - look wicked when done in black like naiths

youll be waning an r26r spoiler too within a few weeks I bet

LOL! I think I sold that back in 2006, old habits die hard

Er I'll have to sit down and work out how many, couldnt tell you off the top of my head!

Tim, i'll be requesting photoshops before any decisions get made anyway. And na, .R spoiler might look random on a 5 door.

 

[Djw John]

Brett, I have no idea tbh! Never driven a 3 door, cant imagine it'd be anything noticeable.

 

[Andy.]

I stuck some Eibachs on mine and it has improved the looks no end. The ride isn't too harsh either, but I have mashed the middle silencer on the speed bumps at work and it now rattles.

 

[Djw John]

I'd quite happily lower it if it was mine but my wife isnt so keen. I know where she's coming from though, the clio is the uncomfy car, we should have one comfy practical car between us!

 

[Naith]

cupraR splitter on the front should be a first mod chap!

 

[Djw John]

I had one on my coupe way back in the day, Lorna hated it and wont even entertain the idea on her car, I quite like the one on yours as well

 

[Djw Dave]

Show her pics she might like the fit of it on the meg. Saying that i've never even saw one with the "R" splitter.

 

[danzel]

Looks really tidy mate

 

[The_Pirate]

LOVE that John, 5 door is the way forward, some R26R wheels in red on that and you're an actual hero.

 

[Djw John]

Check Naiths project thread Dave, he's got one.

Cheers Danzel.

LOL Danny! On a 5 door?! I could almost be tempted if it wasnt for a ek9 in my street with red wheels and a corsa vxr doing the whole red and black thing in the street too. Im a leader not a follower

 

[lemonnobby]

nice car same as mine in a different colour yours got the roof? i got a R26.R spoiler on mine looks really good
