Sorry to hear that chap, just metal damage I hope.

Anyway, to oblige your request, here's a couple from an R26 I shot last year.





Rated it highly, a worthwhile step from the 182 but I think even the Clio R27 is closer to the Megane than it is to the 182. And I shot one of those too...

Fingers crossed you get things sorted smile

coolio a silver one they seem to be quite rare as most of the cars we used to shift were yellow or blue, unfortunateley i have a bit of whiplash and a 1 inch gash on the side of my nose which has a few stitches, the rear plastic trim exploded and caught me on the face i think and the drivers seat collapsed backwards and twisted to the centre of the car the o/s/r is a bit shorter though tbh it held up very well. i would be tempted on another 182 but i really fancy a r26 black, yellow, or maybe white, ohh i dont no, decisions lol well thats if they write off the 182 which im sure they will its very bent i will miss it though was a great car

Bloody hell Mark. Sounds like quite a hit! Gutted the Clio got wrecked, at least it was'nt your fault and you're relatively unscathed.

hi john
yes it was a bit sudden lol the clio held up quite well bless her the drivers seat collapsed backwards so probably took some of the force out of it though the fact i was still moving forward probably helped 2 the first thing i new about it was all i could see was the roof lining whilst going sideways yikes just glad nobody else got hurt.
the police phoned me today to see how i was which i thought was a nice touch well done hampshire constabulary cop

No problems with the keyless on mine, it's pot luck really. The lux is a bit of a nice to have. The leather is not bad and the arm rest adds a bit of comfort. If you don't have lux then the front and rear seats don't match either!

Colour wise, for me it was either black or white. I'd had a black car though so thought I'd give white a go. The yellow is too "look at me", blue with black wheels looks odd, red is quite nice as is the silver.

aha so yours is a lux smile sorry about the keyless remark but i used to work at renault so used to see a lot of cars didnt meen to affend you, i do fancy the lux pack it is nice to have the matching seats and would probably go that way as i did in my 182 with both cup packs instead of a straight cup.cant wait to find out whats happenin with the clio so i can make proper plans cool
