Megane III 265 clubsport build

[PaulyVenturi]

So I haven’t posted in a long time and since selling my M3 clubsport fancied doing another CS build on a megane. Since purchasing the car I had forgotten how bloody good these things are to drive!
The base car is a Megane III R.S 265 CUP I wanted a trophy but at the time prices were off the scale so I bought this as it had the Recaro seat option. The car is totally standard on 70k and was due belts which have just been done buy K Tec midlands. There is a very long list of modifications I would like to do so I will share them as I go.

First small job was to de badge the boot lid and replace the exhaust trim as it was missing and just had some rubber trim fitted as a cheap fix. I bought a carbon job which was cheaper than the original!! ( couldn’t find a used one at the time).
The badges on the boot lid were easy to remove and with some detail work the boot lid looks like new.

Your signature needs an update @PaulyVenturi !

Epic start to the thread as well. Dont know too much about these so be interesting to see where you take it

Good spot Andy, I have now amended, haven’t had the 182 trophy for a very long time lol.

Exhaust trim is tidy. Looking forward to the updates

welcome back to posting @PaulyVenturi much planned for the power side of things?

 

[PaulyVenturi]

Thanks buddy, power will be increased for sure, new intercooler/ radiator/oil cooler develop a new intake the software. Sticking with OE turbo for now anyway lol.
Got some AVO coilovers coming so handling set up will also be vastly improved.

I know it’s bad but I really like the trophy stripes so, on they went! Exact replicas and I feel they really lift the look of the car.
Front air blade next!!

Those stripes in that colour, on that colour, are subtle enough to work. I like it!
