lol this is an old thread! Was a lush 172 - often think about getting another but could never spend that on it again!
Hill Power did then engine cover - but I would recommend Middo off here - will do a top job for a really good price - pm him mk1-16v
side strips are a b**ch to be honest - bit poor on Renault's behalf - on the clio 172/182 they are nice and smooth but these are basically just black plastic painted strips - still have the little nobbles all over them which makes them an absolute b**ch to polish - can rub the polish off - look...
Got a few new bits again - most obvious is the new samco intake pipe - looks good and has improved the induction sound a bit plus my mate that also has one said he is getting better mpg too (for some reason - not sure why though!)
anyway hope you like
Also big Thanks you to Middo for...
definately no probs
we have quite a few meets down this way too - have met up 3 or 4 times over the summer - usually at Porthcawl - youll have to tag along next time we sort anything. More than likely be the summer now though
put your details on here and ill make sure i contact you
South...
cool - small world aint it! you live right in the centre then - very nice!
a club im a member of is having a big meet down in Pendine sometime soon - ill try and find details for you - lots of Honda civics but a few clios and my megane should be fun - they want to sample some good roads -...
cool - I like laugharne - have been to the festival a few times. Dont know whether I should say or not as if you know them youll think Im nuts too but Im good mates with Lee and Jason Thomas - do you know them?
lived in Rhydargaeau (next village to Peniel) Went to Cambria (before they were merged). Still come down loads - good mates with Mikey (timberman - into rally cars) Used to have a black XR2i about 10 yeas ago which was quite modded - used to scream up blue street! best one was going down the...
yeah lol - I wrote 3 cars off (in my younger days lol) on the road past Glangwili hospital between Peniel and Alltwalis - Top Road - or it used to be until they changed it all
like the fiesta more I think but both are absolutely stunning. Im biased though - used to have an XR2i and always wanted am RS - had so much trouble with the XR though that I decided an RS wouldnt be a good move - bought a R5 turbo instead which was great but probably even more expensive to...
yeah those were good pics - been living near the mountains my entire life and never thought of doing that lol!
Yeah Merthyr is a cracking town - we have a few housing estates there (I work for a housing association) absolute nightmare! Proper Valleys accents up there too lol - say Butt instead...
I have an R26 and have so far tried 2 different dump valves - personally love having an extra bit of sound from the car.
The standard exhaust is almost silent unfortunately so personally I removed the back box for a bit more noise and to make it more free flowing - currently at 237bhp (10bhp...
Makavelli - Car is ultra Red with anthracite (ixell paint) wheels and Mirrors etc so now badges are anth with red writing - should look great when they are fitted
yep stick with the renault diamonds - hope you havent spent loads on the speedline badges now!
Liking the f1 decals - only 1 question though - why is the writing on 2 different levels?
wicked Middo - cant wait to put them on - you are a *
After polishing it I am really pleased with the colour - had polished it once before but looks far better this time - only issue with the paint is Im getting quite a few stone chips but nothing I cant sort out
this looks a good one - price isnt too bad especially with fire works night round the corner - its like Iraq where I live on 5th Nov so well worth having a cover

Thanks everyone for the cool comments
Dan - I know what you mean - I ordered the car without the decals but as usual Renault cocked my order up but Im quite glad now as they have grown on me and differentiate it from a normal 225 sportPlus in my pictures the stickers have come out weird...
The Megane is a totally different car - completely different to drive and far quicker. I have also had numerous different cars - VW Corrado, 5 Gt Turbo, 205 1.9 Gti, XR2i, Golf, novas etc - went for the R26 as no other bigger Hot Hatch is all round as good imo. I would love a Porsche Boxster...
everyone keeps telling me that - lol
Was a great car - has been sold again since I sold it - went for an absolute bargain in the end - been looking out for it on here hoping the new owner would join but not seen it
Spent a couple of days polishing it and managed to get some pictures before the sun went down - still trying to get a video clip of the exhaust sound - shall get one eventually
anyway heres the pics - hope you like
