    A Renaultsport Megane DCi 175, 2008 on 31k miles, I collect it next Saturday. Can't wait. Bare with me on the wheels, I know they're not the best, i'll get some use out of the tyres as they're brand new, then i'll get some standard ones.

  3. welcome, looks good. are the wheels 17's? look smaller than normal and what make are they?

    Cheers Steven and Strell.

    I have no idea what they are actually, these things. I also think they are 17" rather than the standard 18"

  5. They look like oz ultraleggras.
    shame their not 18" :worried:
     
  6. 17s were standard on the dCi. 18s came with the Cup chassis option

    Ah okay. Well i'm going to use those for a while and get some 18's I think. I love the standard wheels.

    Looks a good buy that, what mpg do these give you?

    Between 34 and 50 apparently, early 40's combined according to the official specs. Real world i'm not so sure yet. I have nice drive from Cambridge to Manchester when I go to collect it, that will give it a good run.
     
  10. The dCi is a great car. Deceptively fast.
     
  11. See knew wheels were smaller! If there oz's let me know wen you sell then as be good for track! Cheaper rubber too haha! Could be team dynamics too
     
  12. Oz normally have oz stamped on the outer lip of the rim
     
  13. Looks good Gavin, what happened to the z4 idea?

    I'll have a good look next week when I see it again, I didn't really take much notice of what they were to be honest, I just looked for curbing.

    Cheers Steffan. Sensible head took over and I started looking at diesel's, then came to a compromise with this.
     
  16. 18 inch alloys came as part of the lux pack as well...
     
  17. Fair enough, we had a 175 in work a couple of months ago I was surprised with how fast it was.

    From what i've read there isn't much difference between the petrol and diesel performance wise. How true that is i'm not sure?

  24. Gavin.

    Gavin. RSM Admin

    You might regret that :wink:
     
  29. My god I love that colour! Looks very tidy mate, I bet you're happy.

    If they are Ultraleggars hit me up a PM when you come to sell if they're 5x108 fitment, I'd love a set for my 197!
     
  30. Gavin.

    Gavin. RSM Admin

    I am happy, very happy. Can't wait to get my hands on it properly.

    I'll have a look at what they are when I get it back home, I have a feeling they are copies though. The tyres look very cheap.
     
  31. Very tasty mate :smile: is that ultra blue? Love the colour !
     
  32. Gavin.

    Gavin. RSM Admin

    Cheers, it is Ultra Blue. Just realised, I've put Arctic Blue on my profile, that's too many years around Clio's.
     
  33. Will.

    Will. RSM Moderator RSM Moderator

    Ultra blue ftw! Lovely colour!
     
  34. +1 UB... fastest colour out there....
     
  35. Gavin.

    Gavin. RSM Admin

    Lovely colour, I think the only colour i'd have over Ultra Blue is Liquid Yellow.
     
  36. Looks very nice indeed. Those alloys look like FOX FX004
     
  37. Gavin.

    Gavin. RSM Admin

    Oooooh, we have a winner I think.

    Haha.
     
  40. I picked mine up 2 weeks ago. A 5 door lux in silver on 18"s. I came from an m5 so performance wise it doesn't feel particularly strong but it is a very nice all round car. On my drive home (over 200 miles) it returned 51mpg on the motorway. Around town that's now 39mpg but that is great as far as I'm concerned. I want to get it remapped and the dpf delete done, does anyone know a good place in South Wales?
