sorry Andy but its going on Samco's website as well!! lol
youve got the prototype so no other pics I could use - thats the only picture I have of the billet pieces fitted as well so I might have to use it again if you dont mind
have you had the new camber bolts and the stereo yet?
thats not a bad price if your part exchanging - best ive had from a dealership is £17500 - unless they are willing to use their friends and family discount
on a clio it looks great (like Bubble's Car) but on the megane its too much in my opinion - sometimes I really like it but other times im not sure - below it looks wicked but other times Im really not sure - too risky choosing a colour that Im not sure I would like in a few months. Plus its...
I thought you were buying the second hand yellow one?
its weird aint it - I guess its the closest bigger car to a 172/182 - we are all getting older and buying bigger cars I suppose. Cant wait to get it though - although hasnt got the modding potential that my little clio had
lol - mines gonna be Ultra Red - only one you havent seen!
miss my 172 badly at the moment - got a cheap megane to use at the moment - getting cleaner by the day! lol
Id like to know where??? - Ive ordered one and its costing me £15100 without the naff yellow colour
I saw a blue R27 this morning in Renault Cardiff - looked really good - made me think twice about the megane - but the meggy is so much more for the money
all sorted now - used a toothbrush and some armorall trim cleaner/restorer - looks perfect now. should have tried WD40 though - would have saved a fiver then
after using my dads pc polisher for the first time on my wifes clio there are loads of little white specs of polish on the black plastics from where the polish sprayed off a bit.
Its poorboys polish
Ive tried AG bumper care but that just sort of hides it for a bit then it comes back - any...
cant get that blue in the R26 - I like the blue (ultra Blue) but not as much as black or red. Silver is also good but not good enough. Yellow is definately out - although I like it Im not paying £1200 extra to have a yellow car. There is the option of paying £1200 and you can choose any colour...
as Andy (makavelli) said speak to Fred or Andrew at Yozzasport - Andrew showed me some pics of a 172 engine they had been working on and as Andy said it was in a right state and only giving out approx 130-140bhp - by the time they finished it was perfect and back up to good power.
right I have ordered a new megane R26 in black but now Im not so sure - gonna be a b**ch to keep mint and fancy something more fun so red is now on the cards - what do you guys think
heres red
this is the same on both colours but red brakes look good with red paint i think
or black
I always took mine to Rentech in Portsmouth - worked out cheaper than Cardiff Renault even with petrol included! plus Mike knows what hes doing and the car is safe!
well have to have a meet soon - got loads of newer members lately. Sold my 172 but should have my megane soon
Samco told me these were going to be alot more expensive than this - Ill find out today what the price is for definate. They told me they would be selling them to the shops for £60 odd plus then their mark up on top
Im getting some parts made at the moment andy - Top notch stainless battery covers, throttle body covers & fuse box covers made of billet aluminium
will let you know when they are sorted.
went to get the part number for the badge last night but then realised that I have given all the reciepts...
mark - jam some siliscon hosing or hose pipe or something in to the exhaust mount then put a bolt through it - this will lift it up temporarily. the new mounts are crap anyway and itll do the same thing! my old prospeed was jammed with bits of pipes and cable ties etc to take the flex out of the...
yeah i remember you passing me now - remember the exhaust!
as today goes on im having more and more second thoughts about it going - weird how attached to a car I am!
Freebone - Im getting an R26 Megane instead mate - should be better as a family car but should also be fun as well.
The...
hiya mate - where have you seen it? you should have said hello - whats your reg number? ive probably seen you driving about too.
Think its going tonight now - still not sure im doing the right thing - its mint and there nothing wrong with it all!
Im getting really upset today - feel a bit like a chapter of my life is over - this is just confirming it.
Looks wicked mate - at least you still have another decent car and are getting another even better one although I cant say I would be choosing the Alfa myself - bit too grwon up for me
you should see his engine!
nice 1 Rich - coming along really well - dont know what to do with it now though as looks like the car will be going on Wednesday!
Im really miserable about it at the moment - my wife is now telling me I shouldnt get an R26 but should buy something cheaper so Im not...
