I'm currently on the lookout for something similar. Or a Clio 182.
Budget of about £10k to find something suitable.
Having owned Clio 182s in the past - they are very different cars, Clio more fun at lower speeds but feel quite fragile, even if they are notBudget of about £10k to find something suitable.
Megane is much more solid and far better as an all rounder
Been pottering away on the new purchase as and when I have had the time and inclination, Driven it a bit more and love the way it brings out the worst in you, definitely a car that eggs you on to drive harder, its a lot of fun.
Leather looked pretty spotless to start with and there is no discernible wear anywhere but gave it a clean, conditioner and some protection, feels a bit more supple but as i suspected there was no real dirt lifted from it. New mats gone in and some genuine and becoming hard to find RenaultSport mats ordered and will be kept safe
Engine bay given a quick clean and come up fairly well, again though, it was pretty clean to begin with and nice to see that apart from a K&N filter and strut brace its not been messed with, have acquired a spare engine cover and that will be getting a coat of paint to spruce it up.
Was unsure about the car being all white with nothing to break it up so ordered some side stripes which I fitted this afternoon, will see how I feel about them in a few days, certainly helps to break the deep sides up a little

What's the Arkamys audi upgrade?
I have a 274 trophy. Amazing car but on the brink if selling it or redesigning as more comfortable track car.
I have always been so disappointed with the sound system. I absolutely know its bot the sort of car that you would expect to have a decent sound system but it' seems soon bad to me. The sound system in my 182 is way better
I had a 265. I could live with the awful/outdated infotainment system. The real thing that did it for me was the gearbox. I have a 274 trophy. Amazing car but on the brink if selling it or redesigning as more comfortable track car.

Had the car a few months, barely driven it (less than 300 miles in 3 months) and probably not surprisingly, not bonded with it.- my fault, nothing to do with the car
Decided to drive it a bit and throw some time and money at it to make it "mine"
Invested in a full Carbon Skins carbon interior set (all OE parts but skinned with carbon fibre), not cheap but perfect fit and you get to keep all of the original parts, not all of it arrived yet and spent the weekend doing a deep clean and machine polish, got a replacement engine cover and sprayed it body colour, removed the Heko deflectors etc etc.
Really pleased with how presentable it looks, no wax on it yet, that will be started this evening hopefully.
