EvilJohns Megane back from repair (couple of extras done)

[Djw Dave]

We went and picked it up this morning and really chuffed with it, spot on job.

Went from this

to this, got the coupe badges removed

Also got a scenic boot strip painted (Buttonless)

And the engine cover

 

[Rufstuf]

Nice :approve: Looks like they did a spot on job. Did you manage to get the other painted bits tied in with the repair bill ?

 

[Jonaldinho]

Looks like a good job and its nice to see it back!

Lookms like a good repair.

Can't you do what the Vauxhall XE guys do with the throttle cable? Re-route around the back of the engine and bring it up the other side. Will tidy things up no end.

 

[tommyboy]

looks good, nicely done job

 

[Djw John]

yeah same guy will be doing my wheels.

Len, I'll look into it, would be loads better if it was more hidden

Cheers lads

 

[Leeshez]

Its just the fact that it may rub the paint away.

 

[Djw John]

Yeah, may put something round it just now but dunno what would stand the heat :S

[Clio R]

[Djw John]

Yeah it was cleaned by the garage, if its nice tomorrow I'll clean, polish and do the tyres

 

[Alan]

Very cool mate.....glad to see it sorted!!

 

[Martin_172]

looks good mate, get the fuel rail cover or what ever its called polished up like they do on the 2.0 16v's will look much better! could also get the engine mount done if you could be bothered lol

 

[Turkish]

Guess it's just me who thinks they can see rubbing down marks and a difference in colour on the panel then. Maybe it's just the light in one of the shots who knows.

 

[dannyboy172]

Glad it got sorted mate...what happened to the bint that drove into you?

 

[BREMBO]

Just a box standard Megane, should mod it sligly lower it, wheels or should have bought a yellow Megane coupe 2.0

Gonna paint it anthracite along with quite a few other things, may need to get it half polished first though to get a good finish on it. Same with teh engine mount. Got plenty more to do under the bonnet , this is just the start of it!

I hope its just the pics! Looks pretty damn good in real life!

Never been told of anything so I assume nothing

Well thats not strictly true now is it? It may not be extensively modded but there have been quite a few subtle things done to it in the 2 months Ive owned it. Also have new wheels that will be getting refurbed it going lower, getting an exhaust along with a fair few other things but will remain subtle. But thanks for showing me the light

I cannae find any pic's on MIG but i've knocked up a little work of art in MS Paint to give you a rough idea.

The broken yellow line is obviously where the cable would be out of sight.

Looking at the picture again, if that route left too much slack, you could even run it around the airbox/resonator and through the lifting eye on the side of the block.
