Exactly the same mate :)

What are your next plans for it, any more wild changes? It's a shame you moved on from the white car with the big bumper and white Kei wheels...it was the nicest Megane i've ever seen at that stage, imo

Interior is the next plan, need to retrim the seats black. Then onto the engine, although wont be tuning anything, just getting engine out and cleaning the engine block and bay, and replacing anything that is worn out. Regarding the white Keis and big bumper, the alloys were 18" and the ride was terrible, was like driving a 4x4. And the bumper just didn't seem to suit the car after a while, but i am way too picky hence i changed it back to standard

Edit: Nicest OLD shape Megane i must add...the new ones are in another league...especially a white Megane sport with the decals :P

No offence taken :wink: But imo the new shaped Meganes are horrendous, like may of the brand new cars that are made these days, way too futuristic for my liking!

Thankyou :)

Did you sell the Kei wheels? What offset were they? No chance Honda and Renault are the same are they? I want them for mine! 18's would look fine on mine aswell! What were the exact wheels called?

You must of grown up a bit or something then LOL going from how it looked in white with the Kei wheels...to how subtle it is now, it's kinda Euro style now...whereas before it was plain and simple fanny magnet style

Keis were sold a long time ago, offset for the Megane is between 36-42, 4x100 PCD. Not sure what Honda is? Although i am sure you can get the wheels for Honda. These were the wheels but mine were the Force 8s and not the Force 10s:

Exact name of wheels : Kei Racing Force 8

I have grown up alot, days when i had the neons etc are gone, subtle is what im after. I guess most of us are like that now. Don't get me wrong, i have made some odd and silly modifications, but don't we all. We live and learn and move on :)

Cheers, they look well cool, not too expensive either!

Definately considering a set of those for the Teg in the near future!

like i said on your old progress thread months ago, i still reckon the white and gold was the nicest, for me anyway, superb car mate

Shanukes 16th September 2010 10:19

white was just getting old for me, just needed a change and a new direction tbh. Thanks for your opinion though mate :)

cheers guys

it did look good white but i wanted to go a different direction. Worst thing is im getting bored of the Coupes seen as ive had it for 6 yrs now so may sell up in the new year to get a diesel. Just hard to part with it as its part of the family now.

callows93 16th November 2010 16:40

Should of left it white!!!! It looked amazing!!!!!!

kevin37 16th November 2010 17:29

i think you made the right choice to change it the white didnt suit it as much as the colour now does imo
