I must say, I'm on the hunt for a mag 250/265 right now and this thread has put me right off a black one. Had black cars in the past and they are annoying. That being said, a car is for driving, I can't be bothered to worry about perfect paint. As I say, just get it on track and sod the swirl...

Looks great in green!

I like these a lot. Half thought about replacing my Golf with one, but got to scratch the Megane itch first.

Do lots and lots of track days in it and enjoy it for what it is.

You're too kind lol

I thought I replied to this, but obviously not. Looks great Steve.

Bought my 172 Cup in 2014 has a temporary run about/track hack for a few months. Did 25k in it, then became one of the Golf R tossers. That's going now and will be replaced by a Megane 250/265. The Clio has long been retired from daily duties but isn't going anywhere. It's not worth a lot so may...

That spoiler transforms these cars. Love the wheel too.

That sounds awful. What a world we live in. The number of scumbags just seems to grow and grow.

Looks great Steve!

As I say, I'm yet to have the chance to try one out. I am car shopping currently so maybe I should lie to a dealer and have a go lol. As for the OP, given that about the only options are Polo GTI and Clio RS, it would seem sensible to me to test drive both and decide from there. People on a...

Lordy, that's had some work put into it! Welcome. Would love to go to Finland.

Drove a 200 EDC a couple of years ago and it was "ok" but nothing more. Would like to try the Trophy but not had a chance. If I was looking for a 5dr, B-segment hot hatch to fulfil daily duties, I would be looking at a Polo GTI. The VW DSG box is likely going to be better than the Renault one...

Don't say things like that, it sounds expensive lol. Got a link?

Some real work going into this! Definitely one to watch. Love that airbox assembly!

Passed today. God knows how anyone can slate these cars, mine has had it's head kicked in relentlessly, is on nearly 137k and it cost £1.49 to get it through the MOT lol

Following this with interest!

Just to update this for anyone who is interested... I just spoke to the DVSA and explained. They looked up the failure record and also the found the exemption for the Cup and agreed that it shouldn't have failed. The retest is booked for Friday afternoon, so we shall see.

Ah yes. His looks like this one: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/honda/integra/honda-integra-2-0-type-r-dc5-face-lift-model/5710230 Not as nice in my view. The bumpers look a bit weedy somehow.

Bet that goes well in what is a pretty light car by modern standard, especially with that gearing. Just needs the bumper sorting and it's spot on!

Someone I work with has just bought one of these, but the bumpers on his look very different to yours. Are there different versions of the DC5 Type-R?

I wasn't ever really into 200s but this, and the one that @NorthloopCup now has have really made me like them!

I did a bit of that over the weekend, but it felt like I was going to break it rather than free it off lol.

Yeah I can understand that. Mine is fine for brake pressure (no advisories anyway), so the hydraulic element in mine is still working correctly. He just says that the arm needs to move, which I would contest, seeing as it isn't supposed to move from the factory!

I'm so glad I don't care about this sort of thing lol.

I did wonder that but, given how crusty it looks, I find it hard to believe that it would have been free last year, so that makes me think that they didn't test it.

Yes, that topic again. Before I go back to the test station with the printed notice in hand, I just wanted to check-in on this issue to ensure that I am talking sense. My car failed the MOT on the following: "003 Brake load sensing valve linkage seized rear (3.6.E.3)" Before I took the car...

Dedication to get some camber there! I test drove a 275 yesterday but found the seat a bit high which surprised me. Not heard anyone comment on it being an issue before.

Love everything apart from the grill. These do look so nice in red and I'm not normally into red cars.

136k on my Cup now, was on about 112k when I bought in October 2014, but it's only done about 1000 miles in the last year.
