Renault Megane R26  F1 Edition

I’m 48 from Plymouth in Devon.    

I always loved cars and playing with them but was when started my own club and started modifying the Clio I got into the car scene properly, now do European and Uk shows as well as helping run a car show, the first car I modified more than just alloys and stereo etc was a Renault Clio 172, which was meant to be my show car, bought the Megane as a daily and wasn’t going to modify it, my first ever car was an MG metro in red.

I picked the Megane as I’d never seen one modified on for track purposes so I wanted to be different.  I now know why there aren't many Meganes modified finding parts is a major problem, These cars are never finished there is always something you will want to do to make her even more special for the next show season, nothing off the top of the head at present though 

A lot of the work I’ve had a huge part in designing the parts to helping fit and test as a lot of parts on her are 1 offs or firsts, the wrap was done by me and an amazing friend we had some laughs and some big swearing moments, the same really with the new boot build and custom first air ride 

Well, the new boot build was installed by Johnson’s auto electrics ( www.johnsonsautoelectrics.com) an amazing design and amazing service throughout always kept me in the loop and was allowed to get my hands dirty as well helping.

Have to give a big shout out to Vibe Audio as was such an honour and privilege to have their audio equipment in this build ( vibeaudio.co.uk)

The new wide vented wings and bonnet and custom wing mirrors were customs made from Fiberwerx (www.Fiberworxonline.com)  great firm and great price 

The custom made air ride was supplied by max load air ride ( www.maxloadairsuspension.co.uk)

The amazing leather and Murano trim was done by qtrim Essex  (qtrimessex.co.uk)

Couldn’t have had a nicer and great friend in my sponsor Jay at Juicy Details (juicy-details.co.uk) 

And my wrap buddy Dan, owner and organiser for SLE, street-legal events show ( streetlegalevents.co.uk)

I follow lots of car groups on social media the main groups would include
