Just don't get tempted to start fiddling :smile:

Quote to the girlfriend = I will not be touching this car as it is new and has a three year warranty .......................................

Haha!

I have already said something similar to the wife... I'm pretty sure she has seen right through it, when I mentioned an ITG induction kit would be a nice simple mod! 😂

You do know that RS Tuning have cracked the latest ECU to map the facelift 220 :smile:

Indeed, Pro Alloy FMIC is my next step.
To be fair, ITG, map and Pro Alloy should do for the 220. After that it's personal touches IMO.

Managed to give the Megane some TLC on Sunday as it really needed a bloody good clean!

My mate Kris snapped a few photos alongside his Focus ST.

I'm going to miss the Megane, but one thing is for sure I will never buy another black car! They look great when clean, but that lasts about 5 minutes...

That looks bloody lovely.

So definitely going Clio now?

Yeah I think that's the plan mate. Things are a little busy right now, but I'm hoping to go for another test drive in a couple of weeks time, and all being well a deal could be done.

Although I've been looking at ready built 17 plate cars with minimal mileage, that offer a big saving over an ordered car. The other plus is that I wouldn't have to wait 3 months! However so far I haven't been able to find one with all the options I want.

Can certainly see why you would go down that path. As I said before, it just makes life so easy.

Meganes will always be cooler though :tongueclosed:

You're not wrong there mate! 😂

I do keep looking at 275 Meganes... That Liquid Yellow 275 Trophy that K-Tec have up for sale is lovely!

There are some really lovely Meganes about. For Clio money, you'd get a lovely 275 I guess. Would have a decent bit of warranty too. Might be worth trying one if you can.

The Megane is going at the end of this week as it's been part exchanged for a 220 Trophy.

I'm very excited, and can't wait to pick it up on Friday. I will obviously create a new thread and upload photos/info once it's safely back home.

Big thanks to @Ricardos for all his help and advice, as it was mainly his own awesome car that opened my eyes to the MK4.

I've driven a 200, and we have a MK4 EDC DCI as a daily for the wife so I like the whole package/ergonomics.

I'm tempted to get an older 200 with a map and a box software update for now, see if they throw out a balls out last of the line jobby later down the line.

I went the same route as you could do, from the Mk4 Media Nav DCi to the early 200 EDC. From day one when the Mk4 came out I loved it but never thought I'd ever own one let alone the RS model.

Mines mapped, plus revised gearbox software. As of next Monday its being mapped again as the Airtec FMIC kit is on, you're more than welcome to have a go if you like.

Too kind @RMDavis pleased I could be of any assistance. I'm always on hand if you need anything.

What was the PX price mate?
Main dealer. Probably not lots.
Nope it wasn't if I'm being honest, only 3k.

However I weighed up the pros and cons of either taking a smaller amount and a straight forward transaction. Over making more money, but the possibility of more hassle and a much longer time scale before I could buy the Clio.

Another thing I wasn't aware of although the Megane has full service history it was due this year, so that was a fairly high cost that a new owner would indeed use a haggling tool!

Lastly I plan to recoup some cash by removing both the Forge intercooler, and the KTR induction kit / intake hose and selling them separately.

Argh! It's too early!

In my previous post I meant the Megane was due its timing belt this year, not just a service! [emoji23]

^^^ I'd love the trade mine in but I'd probably be offered 8p

But then I have to put up with bells offering me 15p because it's sooooooooo inferior to an R26.. bleh.
