  1. Just before nine this morning.
    It was '09 plate so must have been an R26. Really, really rare in that colour I believe.
     
  2. I was on that road last weekend (3rd/4th Oct) in mine ... (I live in Yorkshire) Only 3 were ever made in Albi Blue ... would be nice to see / hear from one of the other two ? :blush:)
     
  3. I see one regularly in Northwich/Oulton Park area. I always thought it was a replica due to the colour. Very nice btw
     
  4. Hi! :smiley:

    There's 4 listed on the Renault Heritage site... mine is currently sat on my drive looking sad while I muster up the £££, blood, tears and more £££ for a full rebuild - forged + hybrid.... :eek: Fingers crossed for Jan.
    I think i saw somewhere one being written off.... either way, I want mine back instead of having to drive a 1.4 Astra zzZZ
     
  5. Hi mate ... is it you who had ordered an R26R spoiler from Carl ... great move, he did mine a couple of years ago & it looks great :blush:)

  10. Yeah got one being painted by him at the mo, can't wait to get it on. Looks spot on!

    Are those anthracite badges?

    Thats a nice colour.
    Loads better than that crappy pale blue I've seen. Sorry don't know what its actually called.
     
  12. Agreed with the above its an awesome colour ... can't believe more weren't sold!
     
  13. The colour was only made available to customers in the last couple of months of production ... hence why only 3 were ever made. The proper name for it is 'Monaco' blue ... but the French associate Monaco with its Prince Albert ... their nickname for him is 'Albi' ... hence the Monaco 'Albi' Blue :blush:)

    The badges I had painted by Carl in Matt Black a couple of years ago, but any little Mark to them showed the original chrome from beneath through .. so I bought on eBay the black plastic covers ... & I have to say they look great ... they were cheap too :blush:)

    My advice when you get the spoiler fitted is to get the centre hole filled ... we tried to fill mine with little rubber bungs etc & gluing it in .. but whenever the car gets washed it just gets knocked out ... get it filled & have done with it :blush:)

    It will transform the look of your car ... enjoy :blush:)
     
  14. This colour suits the megane a lot better tha.n the Clio.
     
  15. Has anyone seen any pics of a blue meg with anthracite handles? The badges have got me thinking now!
