The Trophy's replacement, Glacier White Megane RS250 Cup :)



  PH1 Track Car
Unfortunately decided to sell my Trophy after two years of ownership, was sad to let it go but thankfully it went on to another enthusiast!

And this is it's replacement, a Glacier White Megane RS250 Cup:

Have owned it a week and so far I love it! Much quicker and nicer to drive than the Trophy.

Spec wise it has:

LSD
Leather Recaros
Dual zone climate control
RS monitor
Bluetooth hands free

The plan is to keep it pretty standard as I think it's a really good car as it is, but it will definitely be being remapped at some point!

Any comments/suggestions welcome! :)

Good choice, seems to be a lot of RS Clio owners upgrading to the 250 Meg's now, they're amazing value, really tempted by one myself.

If you have the spare cash I would go for it, you definitely won't regret it they drive brilliantly.

Very nice. I actually think they look superb in the flesh, even if the arches are nailed on.

Epic spec chairs mate. They couldn't have been a cheap option! Tyre gel on the wheels is urgently needed!

Thanks mate, yea photos don't really do them justice tbf!

Not sure how much they actually cost but I do have some Renault spec sheets for the car so I'll have a look and see if it's written anywhere, but I would guesstimate somewhere in the region of 2k?

Yea your dead right! Just haven't had chance yet, been too busy driving it! :p

I'd probably have to go 265 though to keep Liquid Yellow in my life, and that puts the price up - maybe in a year or two; an LY RS Meg is probably the perfect 'real world' car for me.

Yea I must agree they do look good in LY. Renault have unveiled the facelift MK3 now at the Geneva motor show so maybe the price of the pre facelift will drop.

It's highly dependant on mileage and spec I've seen them anywhere between 11k-14k really around that age!

Thanks for the comments guys :) basically if you had a non cup without the cup chassis, it wouldn't have the stiffer suspension and wouldn't have LSD. Cup is supposed to have the good suspension and LSD, but basic spec, but the first owner was a senior Renault executive so specced it very well, but forgot to add Xenons!

Ok, so just found out that it's not actually a cup, but a full fat model with cup pack and optional extras! It also has a spare wheel and USB port which I think are options. Shows how much I know about meganes! Haha.

Hadnt realised it could come in this spec. Does this mean it has the LSD?

The wheels look much better for me in the first pic of those above.Must be the way i looked at them the first time.

Neither had I! Basically you can get cup, and FF + cup which both have red calipers, grooved discs, stiffer suspension, and LSD, or just a standard FF with grey calipers softer suspension and no LSD. so yea mine does have LSD I believe!

Had a little play with my new suction mount for my gopro yesterday evening, thought I would get a quick clip of the standard exhaust and see how it sounds as you can't fully tell inside the car... Anyway here's the YouTube video:

Haha might have to you know, only to see if it has one though obviously ;)
