Hi Everybody,
I'm Steve, just signed up, currently driving an RS Megane 225, but think I will have to try a Clio at some stage. So thought I'd drop by to check things out.

Welcome to the forum, Black225!

Welcome to CS matey!

 

[FatRS]

Hi. Do you go by the same name on Renaultsport forum?

 

[Black225]

Thanks for the welcomes guys, yeah, same name on Renaultsport.

 

[Flat Eric]

Hi. Welcome to the forum. Get some pics of your 225 up.

 

[Scrooge]

Welcome

 

[Black225]

Cheers. Here's a couple of tasters,ha, hidden behind my bike, only ones I could find at short notice. Just washed it this pm, so will try to get some more taken, if I can find the camera.lol.

on 182 wheels

His 225 is on the megane equivalent of the 182 wheels. They ain't 16"s.

Kind of looks like you've failed there.

 

[Flat Eric]

Lol

 

[Flat Eric]

Nice bike too!!!! Bet that shifts!

 

[JON13S]

Welcome aboard. I've heard that chard is nice this time of year!?

 

[Black225]

Nice bike too!!!! Bet that shifts!

Yeah, it did, it's gone now, replaced by a slightly more sensible Triumph,

Had a nice sea mist this afternoon, coming up from Lyme Regis, I reckon, ha ha.

 

[Flat Eric]

What triumph you gone for?

 

[Black225]

This one Street Triple R 675. A little more comfortable, but still great fun.
Still gotta take car photos.

 

[Flat Eric]

That looks the business! I love triumphs!

 

[Black225]

Gotta take some more photos of that too, had twin arrow exhausts fitted just before I put it away for the winter. I would recommend these to anyone, just about the best bike I've had, and I've had a few, lol, much to my missus annoyance.

i was not aware there was a megane equivalent? if so, my bad.

You never seen a 225 on the 8 spoke 182 style wheels before?

You'll see one about now. I bet you

Never, not many 225's around my area... think I've only ever seen one lol and it certainly didn't have those wheels!

 

[Black225]

Yup, they're the full size version mate, 18"s. I think they're mainly on the earlier models, mine's late 2004 reg, later ones have the Trophy / R26 style, same size though I think, although R26s have 235 tyres the rest 225s, iirc.

 

[DanEdser]

anyone tried fitting those on a 1*2?

:L

 

[Black225]

Had some sunshine yesterday, so took some pics as requested.

 

[DanEdser]

Now I seen the wheels better, I must say, it looks mighty fine

Just need to clean them tyres and get some tyre shine

 

[Black225]

Yeah, you're right, trouble is we've got this gravel drive, and with all this rain it's turned to mud, it's a real pita, gotta get some tarmac in,lol. Cheers.

 

[Nyall]

Welcome to CS dude, nice Meg! I like the black on black, looks evil but as above, it needs tyre shine.

You're from Chard? I picked my Titanium Ph1 up from Chard on Thursday

 

[peanuthead]

welcome, looks really good. still not sure if I should have got a meg instead of my cup

 

[Black225]

Thanks peeps, Nyall, you get about a bit! Peanuthead, when I bought the Meg it was either that or a 182, as we had one tacker and another on the way that swung it. Going to get a Clio at some stage though.

iirc - The Megane are 5 stud and Clio are 4, so they wouldn't fit
