Megane RS Turbo

[paul172 .]

Just To let you all know we have started getting the new Megane RS Turbos in at work, they look absolutely stunnting in the burnt orange. The brembo brakes are massive, i cant desribe how nice they look in the flesh so to speak, after seeing them at work im undecided whether or not to get one of these or a V6 255 . ill get some pics up of the Meganes soon as i can.

go for the rs megane and personalise like you did with your 172.

yours has got to be the best looking subtle 172 around

 

[paddymph]

that orange colour is nice, apparently thats gonna be £1150 as well!??

Madness!

 

[Eddd]

Any chance of the Brembos fitting the Clio?

 

[paddymph]

Nah, thats not an issue here, the calipers will (or should) fit a Clio with large enough wheels...

 

[paddymph]

rich, were rolling on 4 studs tho mate?

 

[dk]

they have a test in autocar between the focus RS and the Megane RS I think this week

The number of studs has no effect on the calipers mate...

However the discs are a problem, but there will probably be some of the same diameter in a 4 stud pattern to fit!

Dunno if these have been posted before ? Is this the burnt orange colour ?

Looks nice, a 172/182 with that engine would be goooooooooooooooood !

 

[cliopower]

[sjtb]

Cant they ditch those fcking AWFUL sticky out headlamp washer and ball combos? Jees.

£20k for this rubbish? Cupra R me thinks.

Lol

Si.

 

[Tom1600]

Ew....EW EEEW!

Aaaaarrrgh! Anglia...rear...cant....stand it...must gouge own eyes out...

I dont think Reno will ever make another model that will interest me besides the Clio.

 

[Andyman]

Lets just see how quick it is and how it handles before writing it off because of its looks.

 

[Tom1600]

Priorities differ from car buyer to car buyer though!
