oh another couple of easy mods you could do would be to change your grills for 225 ones, and you can change the badges on the front of the side strips for ones that say renault sport on, all available from your unfriendly local renault stealer

Swapping the bumpers over is a piece of p*** just a few clips in the engine bay and some torx screws holding it to the arch linnings, wouldnt of thort it should take you over half an hour, the back bumper is even easier. fog lights on the std bumpers are the same as what are in the 225 bumpers.

Yeah i was talking about the grills either side of the ren badge at the front, think they cost about £60 and the metal ren sport badges for the side are about £30.

And the lights i wouldnt want alot for, i think a clip has broken off each one but they are still attached to the car very tightly, just make me an offer, but as i say it wont be till i get the new ones fitted, which have been sat in my garage for months now.

i think i would prefer to get the 225 seats than change the bumpers, those front seats look rather tasty. Very little chance finding a set for sale for cheap though

I've been looking for ages for the 225 half leather seats but have yet to see a decent set come up for sale at a reasonable price. :sad

you dont need stickers to make the car custom you'll be noticed for the wrong reason then


yes eddie, i agree, actually..
me myself had recently detached stickers that was on mine and the car look mighty clean now..
i also took off the megane lettering at the rear..
