Winter setup wheels are 15" Speedlines Maracana from 16V Clio

Summer setup are 16" O.Z. Superleggeras. Also got inox exhaust DeVito, smoked side repeaters, mudflaps for the winter protection. Interior is fully stock and the suspension also.

And this is my setup for trackdays. 15" megane stock wheels with Paradas.

Looks great, fantastic colour too

[StoatInACoat]

Like the colour and the winter wheels. Are Megane steelies the right offset then as I could never find a definite answer on that

[Hoygo]

Great fun cars aren't they? True giant killers.

[Chunkychucky]

Love the look on the 16v Speedline wheels, looks great

[RS 172]

tnx guys;) when I bought this car... like my dream come true. It's like a big toy on track and on the streets... if you know how to play it. It can be tricky too I own the car from august last year and I must say that is all that I expected from it. pocket rocket. Love this car
16V Speedlines are from my previous clio mk2 1.4 16v they were for summer setup. Love Superleggeras also

The pictures of your car at Christmas are excellent. The RS club days look great too, looks like a good mix of cars there - everything from 5 Turbos to Megane Trophys!
