Brilliant. Incredibly capable machines. This one has just finished Targa Tasmania. All it has is roll cage, semi-slicks and seats/harnesses and about 250bhp. Came 21st out of 80 odd. Up against Porsche GT3's, Evos and STi's with monster power and so on.

Best colour saved a lot by buying cat d, these seem to hold a premium over other colours

The reason it was Cat-D was due to a scratch in the rear quarter and apparently the paint is an absolute arse to do in small sections

Bargain even if it is Cat D. LY is stunning.

My mate was selling his 57 plate black Cat D one running 285bhp for £5k but he's just done a deal with another car instead.

If you go to RS Tuning ask Paul to let you have a blast in the black Megane. That was my mates, he's done a deal with Paul's evo. And he's done all the work on the megane. Quaife, decat, FMIC, map etc

Lovely choice, I have a strange itch for one of these. Best colour too!

Do they come with a diff as standard?

diff is such an ambiguous term, diff could mean a shitty electronic diff right up to a fully blown wavetrac diff
