JUST ORDERED 225

[Moose1978]

Just ordered the Megane 225 today through Renault and there is a 10 week waiting list for a factory built one!!!

Bit gutted but I have got it for virtually nothing and those lovely people at Renault are sorting me out a loan car until the Megane arrives

Nice one Moose.

 

[Daipac]

What colour did you go for mate ?

 

[Moose1978]

Inferno - Felt like the right thing to do considering what hapened to the Clio http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1087847244__IMGP0530.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1087847244__IMGP0530.jpg

Moose, good to hear it all worked out. Youve got a great sense of humour getting the colour LOL!

 

[Daipac]

I have seen the billboards all around the place with the Inferno Megane 225 on them, I am actually starting to like them now ! Hated the ass on them before but it looks very meaty from the photos and the advert.

Thought the 225 got slated for the lack of driving experience

 

[Seymour]

On Motors TV they said it was a little more a GT than a medium sized hot hatch. Performance wise its a rocket, but the handling is setup a little more towards comfort than the other cars in the Renault Sport rage.

Luxury, and the ability to leave a Focus RS on the road...... perfect!!

I would hazard a rather vague guess, that it set on fire!!

 

[cliotuRS]

yea handling may be a bit vague but this is cliosport... wel have links to tuning companies in no time. Apex / Eibach springs, remaps for the turbo.. etc..

its a great car and it runs 18" as standard.. so 19s should fit LOL 19" chrome or anthracite.

cool

 

[Pete]

Nice choice, have been looking at a Inferno Megane 225 myself.

would that be as opposed to the little garden shed where they build the rest of the range!! LOL!

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

You getting the 3 or 5 door mate?

 

[GR7]

What colour have you chosen Moose? My guess is BLACK!!

 

[Clart]

how did u get it for free? renault compensation surely not?

 

[RG225]

I picked up my 225 a week last monday, its a 3dr sporthatch in artic blue with the option of auto air cond.

[Moose1978]

Ordered the five door (due to an impending arrival) in Inferno.

Apparantly the Renault factory shuts down for a few weeks in August so thats why it is 10 weeks away. Renault are providing me with a nice little run around in the meantime so not too bad. Got a cracking deal on the 225 as well so pretty happy overall.

 

[RobFenn]

Cool. Saw one in blue and it was actually quite non-descript but they look really smart from the pictures..

Have fun!

-Rob

 

[Moose1978]

Just had these pics sent to me so this is what it will look something like.

Looks nice from the front but still can not get used to the rear end...nice that you like it though, personal taste is a great thing....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say, and my eye says the Clio182 looks better

[Mike@Rentech]

Nice mate, bet you cant wait!!

 

[dk]

i love the look of it, pulled up alongside one the other day and it is stunning the flesh, the 182 will also look good in that colour when it is finally released!

I was hit with that wait this time last year when I ordered the 172, had to wait till mid october to get mine, hope your wait isnt as long!

[dk]

think they should definitely offer the anthracite wheels!

 

[RobFenn]

Maybe they will with the Cup version..

 

[Moose1978]

Yer I cant wait! Im pretty confident they will push it through quick as I have one of their loan cars until mine arrives. Therefore, the quicker it arrives the less money it will cost them etc etc.

Had real trouble deciding on colour but decided that the Inferno was the one in the end

My old mans 182 has just arrived at the dealer today so I am sure there will be a few swaps going on ;-)

 

[hardsoulwax]

Moose - what was the deal with the 172 setting on fire? Did Reanult accept responsibility for it etc? Did you sort it via the insurance company or just Renault? What sort of discount did you get on the 225?

cheers
