possibly, but it would still just be a megane 225 underneath, so what's the point? |

Err....isn't it a completely different shape car? Well, 'completely' is probably too harsh a word, but it certainly ain't a normal 225 with a body kit on......I mean look at it! The rear window is pretty much touching the rear wheel, and then look at the pic of the 'normal' 225 further up the page and you could park a small bus in the gap between the window & rear wheel.
A very small bus mind |

I like the piccie of the orange 225,
But i cant help thinking the 2 floor workers are having a chit chat about something ie,
RS worker in white t-shirt says " That panel gaps dont look even "
RS worker in blue " yeah, so whats your point ????? "

You are right the Trophy is Completely different from the 225. For a start it's a space frame chassis underneath and nothing like the road car. Driver positioning is vastly different as well. The body kit is just a shell really, made to look like the megane......almost like a large nitro rc car. Make it look like what you want.
I suppose it's kinda like Renaults version of DTM in a way.
Also I noticed that they show the megane cup races on motorsTV now and then so if anyones got sky keep an eye out. |
