Newbie, Ex vxr owner

Discussion in 'New to the Club? Why not introduce yourself?' started by Tom55, Nov 18, 2017.

  1. Hi all, had my rs 2 days now and absolutly love it I have mainly a vauxhall background having owned a 420bhp astra mk 5 and a vxr8 ls3. Had land rovers past couple of years and sold a very unreliable range rover sport for my megane.
    Will have to get some pictures up asap.
    I do have a query to start, it was advertised as a rs250, however when i came to insure it some websites described it as a 265 trophy while others said it was a standard 250 sport. Is there any way of checking as the log book just says renaultsport
    Thanks alot
    Tom

    Hi and welcome Tom

    vxr8 would be the only Vauxhall i would consider, well it's not really a Vauxhall is it, there used to be 2 around here but not heard them for a while.

    What year is your RS as that could give it away, i am sure one of the more experienced Megane guys will tell you
     
  3. Hi, yeah it was a fantastic car, typical aussie car though the indicator and wiper stalks were back to front for the first few months instead of flashing someone id put my wipers on.
    Its a 2011 on a 61 plate, got heated leather, climate so i know its not a cup but would love to know definitely what model she is

    there is/was a yellow one around here always seen or heard giving it some :laughing:
    I think a 61 plate could be either, but doubt it's a Trophy i think they were a bit later
     
  5. Welcome.. Best bet is to ask your local Renault dealer, give them the VIN and/or reg number.
     
  6. Call Reno, give vin number, they’ll be happy to ident vehicle
     
  7. Welcome bud, the RS265 didn't come with heated seats and the trophys stickers all over them is usually a giveaway. Get some pictures up.
     
  8. Likely to be a standard 250 if it’s not a cup. All trophy’s are cup cars.
     
  9. Bit hard to see but have you got these stickers on the doors? In that case, it's a 265 Trophy (as opposed to a 275 Trophy)

    Seems like it should have this as well inside.

  10. Mine is an Rs250 but sometimes on insurance sites comes up as a 265 trophy, mine is a 11 plate.
     
  11. Thanks all for help Its a 250 ive found out, still love it . Not really done anything other than wind deflectors and some black badges. Getting 4 rainsport 3’s fitted saturday to replace the 4 different budgets it came with, hopefully will be a nice day so can wash her an get some pics up
