Cheers! For £650 I thought so!! :D

Cheers mate, looks like I'll go with that then!! The guys got em for £120 with tyres so sounds pretty tempting.

Nice one, thanks mate!! This is the car they are going on and looking at the gap in the arches I'd imagine the valver wheels would go on.

Are these 15" wheels???? I've found a set going cheap and am wanting them for a 1.4 Renault 5 so wondered the exact size and if they'd fit it. Cheers :D :D

I went for a Megane 225 as for the £16500 I paid for it, I'd have only got a 2nd hand Clio v6 and that put me off. Also the Megane is more practical bearing in mind that the V6 sould be too wide for my drive way. But the V6 is an awesome car and is a real head turner. But if you bear in...

I've seen that Evo run at Santa Pod and the damn thing spins all four wheels up before it launches!! lol But once it gets going it'll do a 10 second quarter. Some crazy sh!t!!! haha

I've used a 10" JBL sub in an ex's car and it sounded really good and was only £35!!! My current gf has a 4 channel JBL amp running two JBL 6x9s and a Pioneer 12" sub and it sounds really good. Bearing in mind that the amp and 6x9s cost her £115 all together! :D :D

Feel free to recommend any mods or provide any links to things for it!! A lot of stuff I've found on places like K-Tec are for the turbo not the normal 1.4s. I need to Renault 5 forum for non turbos.

You're right there mate, it wasn't faded anyway but I used a fair bit makind it look shiny haha. I'd love a GTT but my Megane 225 is insured under my mums name and is still £750, but the 5 is insured under my name for £350 so thats getting me no claims at a good price!! :D

Haha its a beast in it own way!! lol The only thing wrong with it really was that there was rust down by the passenger door sill. This was all fixed up for its last MOT so nothing mechanically wrong there. But I think its caused by a leak in the door. When I cleaned it, then opened the door...

8 months into owning my Megane and thankfully this hasn't happened.............but if it does!!! I'll let you know! ;)

I've been looking for a cheap second car, something that I can park anywhere and not have to worry about unlike leaving the Megane or the missus 182 any old place. Well I fancied something with a bit more character than an a Mk3 Fiesta or Corsa and always had an R5 or Mini in mind. I found...

That looks spot on mate, I'm a big fan of the inferno colour anyway and with those wheels and in that colour it looks great!! I've been in two minds as to whether I should powder coat the wheels of my Megane (inferno) in anthracite or black? :)

Went and looked at the one mentioned above but it was a complete sh!t box!! lol I know it was cheap so I wasn't expecting it perfect but the bump strips were missing, the fog light cracked, paint work chipped/dented/scratched etc. The guy hadn't even bothered to clean it inside or out so I...

I'm looking at a 1.4 L reg Clio as a possible second car, this one has 47k on the clock, is maroon/red and looks pretty neat. Its only £495 but may be able to offer a lower price. Don't intend on doing much with it but does anyone have any buying advice on this? Thanks

I'm hopefully gonna go have a look at this little bugger at some point over the weekend!!! lol Gotta check its not some rusty heap and whether I can actually fit into the car. But its only £500ono, 45k on the clock, MOT til July and tax til Feb.

Got my Megane 225 new back in January and I've just gone over the 2000 miles mark!!! I commute by train to work and mainly drive to the missus place or out an about a bit. Been to a few cruises, shows etc but thats been it really. And I'm looking at buying a second car now!! lol Its nice...

I'd imagine the build quality is probably more like the Megane than the Clio 172/182. I actually found my 172 build actually ok but the Megane 225 was noticeably better. The thing is that Renault have priced it out of its old bargain, hot hatch bracket and closer to the Civic Type-R which...

The only point I'd make is that it is still a Clio and the idea of the 172/182 is that they were fairly cheap to buy but great fun and very quick. The 197 is now fairly expensive by comparison which has pushed it out of the bracket that the 182 fell into price wise. I haven't driven one but...

This thing is still going haha and they stripes are still on the car!! lol She keeps mentioning removing them but hasn't got round to it yet. :D :D I love em so hope she keeps em.

I paid £16,400 for my Megane 225 which has climate control and xenons. As standard it had a 6 disc changer and electric folding mirros. To spec up the 197 to the same as the Megane it would be £17,500!!! Its just not worth the cost, bearing in mind the interior is virtually nicked straight out...

Barryboys is full of w*nkers who know nothing about cars. They do have pics of some cars that are genuinely awful but there are some on there that just get slated because they are modified. :(

To be honest you're quite lucky that the 3rd party has agreed to pay for it!! My missus had her car hit in exactly the same place and coincidentally its a 182 in racing blue with stripes. But unfortunately whoever did that decided to drive off and leave it damaged. That was her £300 out of...

I may look into to earthing it to that bolt then, depends whats easiest really. I just don't fancy doing any drilling coz knowing my luck I'll drill where I shouldn't lol

Don't fancy the drilling but I might earth it under the seat in the back. I believe thats how my old Clio was earthed. The guy who installed the gear in my first car earthed it too the bolt for the tail light!! lol Can't think that it was all that safe to be honest?!?!?

Sounds good, I'll have a go at feeding the lead through there. If you hear screaming and shouting on Thursday coming from the Croydon direction you know I'm having troubles haha. Anyone got any pics? Also know of a good place to put the earth lead? or easiest place?

I've never seem the real point in winter wheels unless you have some crazy finish that tarnishes easily. I had a set of 17" Wolfrace alloys on my 172 that I did 10,000 odd miles on through winter etc and they were fine, with just giving them a clean every week. This was them when I sold...

I had my 172 for two years and 14,500 miles from new and I had no worries with it at all. The only reason I sold it was due to me getting a new job that paid a lot more and allowed me the spare cash to buy a Megane 225 instead. If I had the spare cash for another car I'd have another...

Its a 2005 (05) reg Clio 182. :D

Having owned 3 Clios before I should know this but being a lazy sh!te, I've always let someone else install my ICE. All I wanted to know is where the easiest place to run a power cable through the car is??? Well actually just how to get it through the bulkhead? The missus has asked me to...
