Megane 225 any good ?

I know at least one person on here who may know the answer to this, the questions in the title..
I had the brochure through today and in its standard form the car looks ..well.. crap, if ever there was a car that was understated then this is it.
For a 2Ltr Turbo charged 225bhp car and a 0-62mph time of 6.5 seconds, it sure is lacking in the looks department ?

So my second question is....

Does anyone (Paul ) know a place where they would do TOP quality renault bodykits for the megane 225 sport, I don't mean some cheapy add ons, i would want something endorsed by renault themselves or something like that. ?

I'd have a Megane 225. I think they look great I even like the standard Meganes....

Try a Renault forum for info about bodykits maybe? (if they exist)

Are you thinking of swapping?

No way im swapping, i love my car, its just an option for a possible second car later in the year if things work out.

Talking Re: Megane 225 any good ?

i work at the renault import place at tees dock and get to drive them all day 100mph down the test track love it lol
its better and more practical than the clio v6
love the way the car looks. its like a marmite car some love it and some hate it.
sure there will be a website that sells bodykits for it like.
in a year or so there is a v6 version coming out with over 300bhp apparently.

Now thats what im talking about I think if this is true then i'll wait for that, only problem would be the price on a V6 version though, its bound to be close to the £26,000 bracket. Where did you hear about the v6 version marky23 ? any links ?

Re: Megane 225 any good ?

Shhhhhh, don't say Ren*u*t or Paul and Aaron will be along like a flash!

It would be a bad choice in only car form so don't make it worse by having it as a second car!

If you must then here is bodykits

http://www.primaracing.com/ProductList.aspx

Sorry it aint a direct link, bloody java.

Re: Megane 225 any good ?

OMG Even better is the fact that they say its gonna be a semi auto gearbox on the V6, so i hope that makes it to the road cars, and with a 3.5 engine its gonna sound unbelievable thanx for the info guys ..

i would usually find all this stuff myself, but i've been having a bad day today..one of the Kids chuckin up beans all night because she liked her dinner so much she couldn't be bothered to chew it
