After owning my clio 182 for the last 5 years i thought id have a change and get something a bit bigger. there was only really 2 cars to choose between a golf gti or a RS Megane. after looking at both i preferred the looks of the megane and stay loyal to the RS brand. The only colours i were looking for was Glacier white or Ultra red after looking at a few of them i picked this up on Saturday just gone. heres a few pictures of it Drivers front by mattageaton, on Flickr Rear drivers by mattageaton, on Flickr Side by mattageaton, on Flickr Front by mattageaton, on Flickr c**kpit by mattageaton, on Flickr Today i got a few parts off adam today 4x injectors 2X number lamps 2x engine cover rubbers positive terminal cover gear gaiter new mats Started to fit them this afternoon New bits by mattageaton, on Flickr Old number lamp Old lamp by mattageaton, on Flickr New number plate lamp New lamp by mattageaton, on Flickr fitting the injectors Fitting injectors by mattageaton, on Flickr New injectors by mattageaton, on Flickr Done After fitting by mattageaton, on Flickr

Car looks brilliant mate. Few interior improvment really lifts the quality inside the car. Need to sample more raceglaze products as the few bits ive had from them have been superb Dave
im not to sure if it makes it to plain without them? yeah i know what you mean, next up is leather arm rest cover and to clean the seat belts shampoo is really good, couldn't believe the dirty that was coming off of them
bucket of water with some daz and vanish oxy action, then just jet wash them, thats what i did with my 182 seatbelts
Nice to know about this car,i like it so much but never do any repairing on this model,actually its very rare in my area but you owned it and also change its many components,good work done on it.I like it.
Looks great, love ultra red :cool: My old R26 was white, but think UR looks just as good, I especially think it looks good with black wheels, I wanted an UR 250 but couldn't find the right car/spec when looking for mine.... As mentioned, never too far with the exhausts, when I got my Trophy a few years back, the exhaust were filthy, used a bit of Auto Finesse Mercury and the came up a treat.... after

Epic looks great. How much where plain discs? I need some new ones. Ps you getting a miltek made me buy one. Bank account is suffering because of it!
i got the discs and pads from here, use the code 'ILUVHOSES' and the work out £60.89 delivered for a pair or £92.07 with pads aswell http://www.apbrakediscs.co.uk/front...ault-megane-ii-2-0i-16v-t-sport-rs-04-on.html lol, i do like the sound of mine, i need to sort that out next. the garage where i had it fitted left the rear renault metal bracket on and bolted it to that so it sits to low
