new facelift megane?

  1. Hi folks,

    i cannot seem to find any decent info on the new facelift MegRS265 other than on the Renaultsport site. I'm guessing that this has just recently been announced as I expected there to be a lot more chat about them on here.

    anyone on here thinking about one?
     
  2. Not that I don't like the face lifted version but I prefer the current shape. Not sure when they're available though.

    IF Renault start up decent PCP deals again, I might be tempted to go for one of these.
     
  4. I'd need to see it in the flesh first. Loved my last one and really regret selling it.

    Giving serious consideration to selling my S4 and getting back into one of these........when the snow disappears though :wink:
     
  5. no no no no no no no no no i think that covers it

  7. exactly close thread!
     
  8. Guessing your not a fan :rolleyes:
     
  9. New front is hideous. Plus the diamond is a ridiculous size
     
  10. Doesn't look too bad:

  11. Horrid

    plus the have started cost cutting now

    no xenons anymore
    no directional headlights
    no grooved discs only plain!
    probably more that i havent read about yet
     
  12. It's lost its menacing look, just looks like a girls car now.
     
  13. The Boosh!

  14. Thanks for that Luke, much appreciated. Some good info in there, I'd not seen that one.

    Was just looking for more info than in brochures, as usually forums have a more indepth knowledge when new models are brought in. I never appreciated the omissions that Matty mentioned above.

    The looks I quite like, but think it needs to be the right colour/wheel combo but until I see one in the flesh then you never know how it'll truly look. It might just be an ugly pig. Although I remember on the t'other meg site the backlash about looks when the RS250 came on the scene. There usually is a 'warming' period after a certain amount of time. The black on black combo in the brochure (pg24), albeit a slight render does look aggressive.

    Interesting read Luke.

    Shame MattyW is right and they appear to have cut down on some of the standard items.
     
  16. got to be brave to add the red pack!!!!
     
  17. I much prefer the old front end from the pictures ive seen. It looks almost as bad the front of the new clio RS.

    I like it strangely
     
  20. I never realised any of this. They sure kept that quiet!
     
  21. Me too lol although the new clio doesn't do it for me what so ever
     
  22. My mate got one recently, IMO new front suits more for darker colours, but the absence of xenon headlamps sux, try to imagine bright whiteish dlrs and yellowish headlamps.. just ugly, no mean look like the old one

    I prefer the new front end I think :/
     
  24. Turbo running at 1.5 bar of pressure? sounds a fair bit compared to the stock R26...
     
  25. Horrible. That'll surely drive the value of the non facelifts right up.
     
  26. From this view the old one does not look as good as it looks in person, totally agreed.. As I've said many times, new front has been spoiled by having exactly the same one like a renault fluence, when looking to the rearview mirror you won't be able to tell what's behind you.. another detail with the headlamps - there's a white ring around the projector bulb and it's not correctly fitted, they squint when looking at it from the frontal view..

    Overall - it's not bad, gonna look real good in black and this grey, lighter colours will struggle with that huge black mask and huge <>

    Looks awesome in OG tbh!
     
  28. Basically looks like just a new bumper and bonnet required and lights. So easy up grade if that's what floats your boat.

  30. I don't think you can get the red pack in the UK??

    Plus no Xenon lights are a BIG turn off for me....I prefer my mean looking stealth machine lol
