That looks incredible! Also makes me slightly jealous of the decals.

I think they look far better on a white Trophy, only bested by oyster grey, I think it's a little look at me on black. Toying with the idea of getting some custom charcoal or matt black ones made.

Stunning wheels. Tyres will be a hoot as well

Love the shade of red. Will look very well on yours James....

As above: Rubber should be great too.

We repair alloy wheels. What did you pay for straightening if you don’t mind me asking ?

i agree mate, black with decals just dont look good at all imo.
If i was you id maybe just keep the trophy signs on the doors and maybe get a cool custom one?

shame they're 225 really, 235 are standard so the last owner didn't want to pay so i might be down on grip
next time round i may 245s on the front and keep the rear 235

so Bedford was fantastic in the megane, first track day in her and she definitely delivered.
Most people know but before bedford i had fitted
H&R springs
Performance fiction pads on the front
braided hoses
uprated brake fluid
and some ad08r tyres.

First thing first was the brakes! Very impressed, after going down to braintree with @Big Ben and @DS197 and basically setting them on fire i was a little worried. But the small changes done the job! No fade at all and fantastic power.
Springs defo had a lower center of gravity and less body roll which defo helped.
The tyres were fantastic tho, slippy in the heavy rain but easily controlled. Soon as the track dried out they come into their element and was superb!
unfortunately i wasnt able to get out in tandem with the clio boys i had a few laps close to ben which was great fun until i went across the grass!
few photos.
I forgot to offer passenger rides but if anyone wants one please just say!

yeah really happy with the look and the performance, tho tonight ive noticed a metallic rotating grinding noise on the drivers side which seems to be louder when off throttle, brakes seem find so im not sure what it is, so will have to take it in somewhere..
