  Megane

  Non RS : (
RS grill if poss, Silver indicator bulbs , clear side repeaters , Lowering springs ( nothing silly)..

Should look better. also Dual optics if you can get it done.

Unfortunately colour coding cost too much. How about engine wise

Are silvervisions as good as xenons? Any links?
 
  Megane
Which is more popular? I dont want too low, bear in mind it isnt a clio sport so is pretty high at the moment
 
  330i. E30 Touring.
Sportlines are more popular. They come in either 30mm, or 60mm i think. Prolines are cheaper though. Don't lower by much but are still stiffer.

Weld the back doors up?

Dye the Beige seats?

Its a privilege model so imo, don't touch it. When you come to sell it, the only people that will want a privilege will be family/old people types. They will not want a lowered/silver visioned/ tinted windowed car.

If it was me, i'd just concentrate on keeping it clean and maybe get it colourcoded.

All imo of course.

Dan sells them...
I would just make modifications that can be removed when you come to sell it, young people tend to go for the Dynamique.

Enough with the 5dr bashing already! :nono:

I have a 5dr 1.6 Privilege, and yes I understand how s**t the beige interior is, but I think if it's kept clean it's not too bad. It's just keeping it clean that's the problem :eek:

Mods I've done so far are an RS grille, Philips Bluevision sidelights and H7 bulbs, Dynamique spoiler and a K&N panel filter [cheers Ben].

With the 5dr most mods will look strange so keep it SUBTLE.

Next mods I plan are silvervision indicators front and rear, clear side repeaters, Dynamique or 172 alloys. I'd like to lower it but don't know where to start :(

Will still have to sort that detail out when the weathers gets better!, still waiting to do mine atm :dapprove:. Polisher seems to have revived itself so will be good to go when its dry :).

Brilliant, looking forward to it. Drop me a text in the new year or spring when you're ready.

Dynamique spoiler, I bought mine for £25 from someone on CS.

Does the privilege have the same sort of trim as the expression then?

I.e, no air con, no fog lights, no rear spoiler and a poor interior?
 
  MK3 Sport Tourer TCE
No, the Privilege is actually a higher spec than the Dynamique.

Alloys, fogs, climate control, sports seats. But it's aimed at old folk wanting a nice beige interior to match their blue rinse and beige macintosh.
 
  MK3 Sport Tourer TCE
The alloys are a bit poo though, not as nice as the Dynamique ones. And it has the same spoiler as the Expression.
 
Some of the Privilege models have full cream leather and beech effect wood dash strips, I quite like it.
