Ok, managed to get some decent pics when I went to pick up my sisters Megane with her today. I can't wait to pick it up, especially being my first car an everything

spoilt lol jks looks like a fantastic first car matey!

I like that sports kit not sure on the wheels though

 

[DamoWales]

Nice mate,

Needs lowering ASAP! Though... Low pro's on standard height looks crappy (Especially my clio!)

07 im guessing?

Not my first choice of wheels, but they said they wouldn't change them for some reason or another, so got a bluetooth kit out of them.

 

[bmh.01]

Not a fan of the wheels and it seriously seriously needs lowering. Looks nice enough other than that.

 

[MTM]

nice what make of wheels? wolfrace? bit of colour coding and lowering and it'll look superb. Love the back end.

 

[Gox]

Yeah, it's an 07. How much would I be looking at for lowering, and how much by do you reckon? (sorry, complete noob when it comes to cars really. just know what I like)

Yeah, Wolfrace Katanas. Bit gutted that the mirrors weren't colour coded, so that's on my list to get sorted.

What model is it?

What model is it?

Just a mk3 1.2 Sport Extreme. Insurance deal was too good to miss out on, I had originally ordered a Corsa 1.4 16v last week, but cancelled it and ordered this instead.

 

[DrR]

Didn't realise those wheels and exhaust where standard, always thought they where modded.

Still getting insurance quotes for £2000+ so with this I'm only paying £480 per year for the next two years. Will probably get it lowered asap, and then I wanna colourcode the mirrors, but I'll probably just leave the alloys to be honest.

Cool, what you getting?

 

[cooks189]

ye definatly mate, very nice car tho

 

[Gox]

Thanks cooks, You guys reckon 35mm will be enough?

Also, am I right in thinking that I'll need to use a hairdryer and some cotton to get the "custom" stickers off the sides?

 

[cooks189]

35mm poss not enough, i would say go half way if you can find some lowering springs, as 60mm could wear out your shocks quite quickly, but if you've got a bit of money to spare go for 60 uprated shocks, coilies????

I passed my test last June (so just under a year), and started learning 6 months before that. Been using my mums Fiesta whilst I was self employed, and now got a new job so decided to treat myself.

It was just over £11k for everything, which was pretty cool since it was listed as £11,795 I think, in the showroom, and I got the bluetooth thing thrown in too. The car itself was just under 9k, without the kit.


Thanks for the kind words, makes me think I made the right decision when you guys (who are clearly clued up) are saying its ok.

 

[jonnyRT]

sweet first car mate, you need coilovers that would look so nice down 70mm

 

[Alan]

Tidy..

 

[Moose4624]

dont worry bout all the lowering and that, although i would hook off them wolfraces first chance you get, use the moeny you get from selling to pay for a decent set

 

[Giles]

nice car

drum brakes? I thought new clio have disc now?:S

 

[dick]

yep, get the wolfrace home, and sell them brand new.

coz ther too agressive for the clios lines.

and they wouldnt have changed um as they know no1 else would have them either.

if youd have said im going to next dealer theyd have changed them.

 

[Peperami]

Id try get a set of either 197 wheels, or the 197 cup racer alloys for it...

Does look smart for a first car though, congrats mate.

 

[Kneel]

I like them on the car, just needs lowering imo. I saw a car exactly like that at bolton renault only I think it had different wolfrace wheels on them. I'm confused, if the dealers selling cars with wolfrace wheels what happens with the insurance people?

That's the one at Renault Bolton

 

[Swift]

Nice, wheres the exhaust from? I want one! It's not standard is it?

 

[ollie]

COOL

 

[kully]

looks new ........different , was it me or the wheels appear small

 

[BREMBO]

I think that looks very tacky, sorry.

 

[Mikey]

very tasty for a 1.2

 

[tommyboy]

I like it matey. Once you've got the time, effort and dosh, get it lowered 60mm will look spot on then.
