I was actually going for a 04' Leon Cupra R, finding a decent one is a bit harder than the Renault though!
Saw a 5 door 225 in wales with r26 decals. Wasn't too keen then saw this and was sold due to the condition of the car

I bought from a dealer as I've had 2 previous bad experiences buying private

That looks fantastic and it's also the best colour imho! :cool:

What's the mileage on it? Does it have any options fitted? We need details!

I think it's just a standard 225. I have my eye on replacing the head unit with a Pioneer DVD unit

50,000 on the clock

Cool, any other plans?

I'll either get the alloys redone in a gun-metal finish or change them completely.

Further down the line I expect to drop the ride height with some new springs (poss a coilover kit)

No doubt I'll change the exhaust from stock to a Mongoose unit too

The original wheels will look good re-done in gun metal.

If your going down the springs route I can highly recommend Eibach Pro-Kit. They are probably the best lowering springs available imo.

Do not touch the Alloys - these people are wrong wrong wrong! They look their best like that, if darker wheels are required you need the multispoke from the cup and later version of the 225/230.

No one is 'wrong wrong wrong' when it is an opinion.

Opinions arn't allowed, the French 'tasteful' Police will come arrest you for crimes against alloys

It looks like Ottoman blue code i45.

It looks darker than ottoman but lighter than extreme blue... hmm...
