Hello,

My name is Michel Cijs, I'm from the Netherlands and I'm a new member on this forum, first of all my compliments about the site and the forum; it brought me lots of information and some beautiful pictures.
Personally I love the S2000, haven't got enough money for it, but perhaps in the future I will.....my father drives a bmw z3 roadster so once in a while I can experience some roadsterdriving myself.

Here's the deal, I have got a Renault Megane Coupe, a rather unkown car for the most of you I think. I have this car now for almost 3 years and while tuning is my hobby the car has changed a lot. The engine is a 2.0 16v with approx. 160 hp and 190nm, at the outside the car had been modified with a special bodykit, 17 inch rims, lowering etc. At the inside it has a complete leather interior and some very nice ICE-stuff also 2 lcd-screen on a dvdplayer.
Here in the Netherlands and in Belgium and a part of Germany, is my car welknown in the tuningscene, I have appeared 2 times in a Belgium tuningmagazine and there will follow some more in the (near) future.



I'm also a active member of the coupe club in the Netherlands, we have a simular kind of informationwebsite like this one, also with a forum but this one is a lot bigger







This winter I want to respray my car, I would make it like new again and I'm going to clean to whole car, so no more marks, side-repeaters and locks. Because my car is yellow I want to repaint it in a new yellow color, but this time something special. So you can see on the pic

Why choose between Spa and Rio when you can have both. I know of a shop round here(too far from you) that does custom 2 color or 3 color fade jobs. Start with Spa in the front and midway through the car fade to Rio. With deep enough pockets anything can be done!

I have yet to see Rio in person, but I have a spa yellow s2000. I've heard the main difference is the amount of pearl in the paint. I really like the spa, but since yours is a show car I think it might be better to use Rio since it has more pearl. I think that would help it stand out even more.
