Picked this up earlier on, I'm so, so pleased with it. Finally think I've found something that's better to drive than my Clio 182 Trophy.smile

yes That's nice. Don't get this whole roll cage thing though, I'd rather have some back seats.

Would love one of these.

Question: Why does it have an ariel but no radio?

Then buy the R26?? R26R was designed to be that little bit more extreme. You'll get near on the same performance from the the 5 seater R26

Really really nice and exclusive car!

Im not lucky enough the drive the R26R but have a black R26 as a demo where I work and thats an amazing car!

182 trophy was a brilliant piece of kit but you've gone one better there!

Having no radio and an aerial is a bit strange, I know! I believe it's because of a few reasons that include all Mégane bodyshells having an aerial hole and it wasn't practical to produce one without, and that it has been designed so that owners can add radios if they would like afterwards. All the wiring is in place for the headunit and door speakers, so that's all you need to add to get some thumping sounds. Not that I'm going to, I might add, but I think a few people are. Because of this, the aerial is actually wired up and ready to go, but seeing as I have no intention of ever fitting a headunit, I've swapped my standard massive aerial for a nice short stubby one. It's not like it's gonna affect reception.laugh

I'm meeting up with a black R26.R today, so I'll post up the pics later on!

Sounds good to me. These look so good, I'd just remove the stickers, although i know some people do like them.

Seems as though it still has a big ish boot too... think you could fit a bike in there (wheels off of course).

Looks like he did from the picture (blue-ish tinge similar to that on Arun's black R26.R, which has titanium exhuast IIRC)

That's right Jon, he has the Ti exhaust on his as well (there's a story to go with that, but I'll let David tell you that one!! smile

It was actually my black R26.R that he saw today, here are some pics of the little get-together...
