It is faster than the VTR yes and has a lot more torque due to being a 2ltr. Hit 5500rpm and it really comes alive.
Handling in standard form is f*****g amazing imo. For a standard car it don't half hold the road well, Renault definitely did a good job in the suspension department - kinda makes me not want to lower it lol.
Ofcourse, it's not a crazily powerful car. It's not like i got in it and went 'wow, this is bloody quick' but it's definitely fun and quicker than the vtr. A massively better car too.

Got clear indicator bulb's in. Not going for anthracite, decided i want a much more oem look this time. The less chavvy, the better lol Not that Anth is chavvy but to some people it does give that look the second you paint wheels lol.

Cheers dude. Like i said, i've always wanted one since passing my test. Very glad i've now got one Never really thought about this colour 'til i started looking seriously into them but i think it's really nice and not very common.

I know it's horrible the thought of a snapped belt. I like the k-tec stealth exhaust my mates got one on his 172
