Good evening all,

Having just placed my deposit down on a new motor I'm wondering what would be people's must do's on and with the car?

The vehicle in question is a 60 plate Megane RS 250 in Black on 19's, full leather recaros, RS Monitor, Xenons, the works.

It's only done 24k with one owner (bought privately) and is in good condition.

Of course, I want to make it my own,

What would people suggest as must do's, what would you do/have you done to a new car? I don't know where to start!

Thanks all,

Christen it is obviously high up the list!

It's a new car to me as the old one was 7 years old! (And a 1.4)

I plan to clean it thoroughly but is there any bodywork things that I should do?

Or anything in general?

Thank you,

There is some really helpful tips in here actually.

Tyres is a big one I'll check, go through the car in detail.

Led lights all round is a very good idea and so is the detailing.

Just need to attempt to keep it clean, it's black so going to be a nightmare.

Thanks

Adam

It will be insured fully comprehensive of course.

V-Power all the way, I'm going to put a fair few miles on it these next few months.

The car does have a bit of a chip on one of the alloys that could do with a possible refurb so that could be up there.

I've read around the interweb about cleaning drainage channels and oiling rubbers but i'm not sure what these mean?
