woe.. its a baby megane!!! looks a bit like a photoshop!!

 

[MattyMarsh]

Agree, this one does look photoshopped, but there is another picture inside AutoExpress that shows the rear and it doesnt look photoshopped, looks very much the same though.

I dont want to push my luck and post any more pictures
Like I say, you should buy your own copy really.

[Day]

Somebody check the registration plate - the DVLA check is down for maintenance.

 

[Eskiisbest]

do we know what wheels they are?

 

[Day]

I dont reckon it will be called the "Clio".

Somebody pointed out the other day that officially its referred to as the "eventual replacement" to the Clio.

Could this mean a name change perhaps?

 

[Matt16v]

Looks FAR too low to be the final item. No way would they make it that low in standard trim.

 

[MattyMarsh]

The rear view picture only shows the Renault Sport badge, no Clio badge.

That could be a hint of a new name.

 

[_Tom]

Looks mint!

vary much agree.... does not like it will be able to go on full lock!! and if you go over any bumps the wheels are gonna slam against the arches!

 

[blink172]

Looks very similar to the yellow prototype one that was losted up on here a while back.

They must have seen it and knocked up their own version. Does the rear bumper have the diffuser?

Ill be putting my name down for one

 

[JJ!]

def a photoshop tho - look at the tred on the front tyres!!

 

[James Bushell]

I think that looks quite nice..

 

[MattyMarsh]

The rear does look the same as the yellow pictures posted before, but it looks gorgeous in red. The yellow rear looked crap.

 

[GPH1]

its def a photoshop special using Megane doors which is why it is in orange. they also printed some actual pics of a yellow car and that did say Clio on the tailgate

 

[MattyMarsh]

It was fun whilst it lasted. But you should buy your own copy still.

 

[Gareth]

if its copyrighted, its copyrighted, not for you or I to decide.

 

[MattyMarsh]

Nice link to AutoExpress. Much better idea. Thanks.

 

[morgan172]

Yeah, sorry for posting the pic originally.

I wasnt thinking!

 

[JoelDee]

Mini Megane! Looks quality!

 

[Klang1.6]

thats is horrid!!! i would never trade my cup for that!

it hopefully wont look like that-- i hope!

 

[BlackClio16v]

i like that be up for selling the beast for that

 

[soepy]

looks nicer than the future civic

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

I like it.....

 

[steve a]

Looks quite good, although the front bumper doesnt seem to be low enough.

 

[D"w!Z]

luks very nice, just really hope it isnt going to be £17K!!

i read the mag the other day and one of them looks badly photoshoped but not too bad, i feel that the red looks a bit better than the yellow one posted recently. said 200 bhp and £17k!



incidentally the article also said the trophy coming out will be dearer than 182 and 182 cup!!! booooooooooooo

 

[MattyMarsh]

"tired reg not a proper one unvalid"

translated into English -

-- Tried reg not a proper one invalid --

R20 - "... trophy coming out will be dearer than 182 and 182 cup. "

A full fat 182 retails for about £15000

so an extra 2 grand for the Recaro seats, wheels and a much better suspension. Thats not so bad. Would probably cost £1500 doing it yourself anyway.

However I still dont like the anthracite wheels and red paint. I probably wont be buying one.

 

[rory182]

i like it but noticed it had silver wing mirrors in one pic but not in the other

 

[MattyMarsh]

interesting, I missed that. I do hope they bring out another colour though.

 

[MattyMarsh]

Looking at the pictures again, its the wheels I dont like. The Turinis dont appear to fill the arches as well as the 182 wheels. They look too small for my liking.

what car we talking about? i meant the 2006 Renault Sport in autoexpress not the one in that picture that just got posted

 

[Lee]

The wheels are the same size as the 182 ones. 182 wheels look bigger than they are due to the spokes going to the edge.

Both mirrors look silver to me on the Autoexpress Photoshop.

 

[MattyMarsh]

rory182 - sorry mate, I thought you were talking about the trophy. Ive gone off topic.


[Edited by MattyMarsh on 13 May 2005 at 5:43pm]

 

[rory182]

i hadnt seen the trophy before, noticed the 2006 renault sport had silver wing mirrors in one one pic but not in the other.

Im not too keen on the colour of the trophy its gotta be said... probably nicer in reality than in a pic.

 

[MattyMarsh]

yeah, lets hope so

 

[BRUN]

i like it
