Hi all,

 

I'm Joe and I've just signed on the dotted line for a 275 Cup Premium. I was looking at a lightly used 265 Red Bull RB8 at the same dealer but fell in love with this. Prior to looking at a Megane, I was looking at every other sub 50k European hatch, and nothing at all even came close to how good these things are!

As it was a demo (277km on the clock!), I got a mega discount.. And being a work car via my company, I get a nice gst refund and 4 years of depreciation! It was an offer I couldn't refuse.

 

As for the stickers, they've since been removed by the dealer.. I wasn't a fan.

 

I am collecting it Wednesday. Can't wait!

Hello there Joe, welcome to the Renault Sport family. You will find the forum very friendly and full of information. Have fun with your new toy :)

 

Cheers,

 

Nick.

Welcome Joe. Nice car. Was that a Cip Premium or a Trophy Limited Edition? Looks like a Trophy LE. Is there a numbered plaque on the door sill?

Nice mate. Personally I would have just got rid of the "Renault Sport" sticker and kept the rest - but each to their own! Enjoy.

It's definitely a Cup Premium, don't be fooled by the stripes.. The dealer added these for some reason however they have since been removed.

 

I originally was looking at the post on the iPhone.  On the computer I can see they are (were...)  black, not silver grey.  I think I would have removed them as well if not part of the original livery.  But a black wrap on the roof, however, is a different thing altogether...  Wonder why they didn't do that instead.  Cost I suppose, but as better outcome IMO...

Collecting it today! Would have been yesterday, but I asked them to put it back through the workshop (as its a demo) and that took a bit longer.

 

Stickers gone, except for the Renault sport logos on the front door. I may take them off eventually but we'll see.

And stripes...oh, hold on they were there already. Sorry, I guess I'm biased, I went in the other direction. :) Edited by cairnsy

Loving this car!

 

The interior, the RS Monitor, the brakes, handling, that exhaust! I love how it feels a bit frantic in race mode.

 

I hate the stereo though, but I'm sure that's an easy fix.

 

Having owned a number of WRXs, this thing is definitely next level. And for what I paid, it cost less than a new WRX.

It's hard bit to be impressed by them! Huge smiles every time behind the wheel is the norm.... :)

 That stereo is rubbish, a new head unit is needed... However, then it wouldn't look stock.
