Well, Dad went to New York this week, and left me in charge on tidying up his car. Was looking very sorry for itself, does 20k motorway miles per year, was absolutely filthy and needed servicing. Add to that, the repair needed on the front bumper from when he stupidly forgot to put the handbrake on when parking up somewhere and a few ayrds in a gate 
Anyway, got it booked it at the local bodyshop/garage for a major service and bumper repair. Came out at £400 for the lot  which my dad thought was cheap coz he is used to paying main dealer rip off prices 
Picked car up on wednesday looking a whole lot better with a fully re-sprayed front bumper and running perfectly, so thought Id treat it to a quick detail.
Unfortunately, it started p!ss!ng down as soon as I finished, but heres the pics!! Opinions welcome 
Cheers

Nice car, but the alloys look too plain. They almost look like wheel trims.

yep, averages about 28-30mpg
unlike me, he can afford to pay the fuel prices

thinks its a safety feature due to the push button start
probably because its easy to get in a just push the button forgetting your in gear

Not a fan of Meganes if I'm honest. Looks well though.
I'd change the plates and fit some different wheels if it was mine.

Think the advert is a great way to promote these cars!
