All the 225 f1's are in this blue. Think they were about 500 in total (ish). This is number 476 (if i remember of the top of my head).
I dont even no what colour blue it is tbh! Ultra blue???

Lovely motor, the only thing that I dislike is the rear window, it's too straight up right.

Yer thats the R26 F1.
My best mate has a black 2008 r26 f1, and i have driven stupidly hard with him sat next to me looking abit like this ......and i cant truley see the advantage. I think it turns in sharper/ quicker entially, but after that i cant really see much difference. It wheels spins just as much aswell (when nailing it in the first two gears on a damp road). We are both daring as each other so have really experience what they can do. He would agree with me on that too.
Amazing for a front wheel drive though, it still impresses me when going for it around some twisty roads even though i got it in may last year!

Im gonna spray them. Will only take a few mins!
It had new discs and pads when i got it, and i said i was going to do them then. Then i had 4 brand new tyres, and said i was going to do them then. I still havent done them
Costs bout £1000 for the discs/pads/tyres

The brakes where the orginals when i got it (which had covered 47k), and there was nothing left of them. They said they would change the pads. I complained and said it isnt good enough bla bla. I went back a few days later and they put 4 brand new discs/4 brand new pads. I priced them up and it was like £600, thank you very much Genuine renault stuff too. Ive seen prices on the net from £600 to £800 quid for the parts. And i had 4x avon zz3's fitted for £400 in novemeber as they had a offer on the net. Alot of people wanted £550-600 fitted for the same tyres. Just shop about.
There is a guy on megane sport who owns like a renaults specialist parts place in nottingham. He gets them considerably cheaper and are renault part numbers on them. Think his name is MisterC? If you planning on getting them done, go on there for parts.
BTW are you a v power guy?

Tesco 99 myself. Its closer than the nearest shell garage
There was a guy on MS saying he could get me 4 dunlop tyres for just under 400. He was sumwere near macclesfield. Need to get in contact with him tbh.
I was looking at getting the ktec 330mm kit for the front. But its £800 for some discs and spacers
Brakes have got a fair few k left on them yet though.
