Ronald's BG RS Megane 175dCi

[Knuckles]

What sizes do you think I should go for?

20mm + 30mm springs

25mm + coilovers

I still think mine has a bit too much tuck tbh

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I'm not sure about spacers now as I'm not lowering it and it could end up looking s**t

 

[Pacman.]

Lots of people run 20s best combo is 20s and H&R springs.

A few from various forums.

Mine with springs no spacers

Mine with Coilovers and 25mms

Yeah see that top one on 20's at standard height doesn't look good imo.

Think I'll stick with it as it is.

 

[Pacman.]

Yeah they are best with a drop. Mine is set perfect with the Coilovers and 25mm

I agree with that, doesn't look as good yet the car in the second photo ending JDT looks awesome!

Yeah if does not look lovely but I'm definitely not lowering mine.

I was looking at cup spoilers today as well 🙈

I always wanted some kind of spoiler for mine but as soon as someone called the cup spoiler a 'pram handle' it put me off haha
Apparently the GT spoiler is a bish to fit so maybe the sprint one instead

Well we will see once you've been out in mine! Honestly mate, they're not much stiffer than standard. :wink: The cup 2's on mine will make it feel stiffer though due to the sidewalls.

I'm tempted to take the cup spoiler off mine just to see what it looks like.

...better. 😂

Have a look at Christophers for lowering spacing inspiration! Looks great mate! Really really like it!

Renault paint is harder than any other i've worked on, including the german ceramics.

New pressed plates added today

 

[boultonn]

Not usually a fan of pressed plates but these look good, and the GB backing matches the paint.

It might just be the picture but the front looks in very good condition in terms of stone chips?

Cheers buddy.

The front is in pretty good nick.

I did however wet sand the black part of the bumper last week. I used 3000 grit spot pads on my new Rupes Bigfoot mini and then polished them with Rupes compound. I then gave it a second stage with 3800 menzerna polish. It's not perfect but it's a damn sight better than it was.

Thanks for the intel, I shall give that a try as mine definitely looks like it needs it

Any pics of that process in the detailing chat Ronald? I'd like to see that.

No mate I was in such a rush to get the car ready for French car show I didn't think to take any pics.

I will be using the same process on the rest of the paint at some point in the next couple of weeks so I'll make sure I get some before and after shots.

These are the sanding discs I bought (3000 grit)

The more I look at these, the more I like them!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Met up with my old mate @Kyle 86 for a catch up today.

We went to go to a car show in Billericay but they wanted £15 to get so we gave it a swerve.

Took a few pics in the car park.

Kyle was telling me about the plans he has for his 172 Cup and they sound epic.

Hopefully he will update his Project on here once the work starts.

Ouch.

I saw most of the cars drive through the High Street whilst munching a burger and a pint from the Red Lion yesterday afternoon... and I still (just about) had change from £15 haha !!

It was a huge show but we only wanted to have a mooch about for an hour.

I was going to pop along to this show also but was put off by the high cost of entry.

 

[leeds2592]

Lovely colour. I'd be going down the sheep route if it was mine though, spoiler, spacers, plain number plates, job done.

I might go for a cup spoiler at some point but I'm still undecided.

Other than that though I won't be doing anything else.
