It is one of the reasons I have. I've been watching RX8's for about 4 years now. After I moved I finally had the space to expand my collection and needed to scratch it.

Gibbos collection is worthy of being called a collection though. I wouldn't call my three cars a "collection" I don't think.

On reflection is the Yaris mod a good upgrade?

Few more from a memorable seaside trip last year before lockdown 2.0! Unfortunately one of the rear light clusters is leaking & damp internally so I have to replace the entire unit as the lens is sealed so no access to repair the leak & clean the minor damage 
Renault price is £265.20 + VAT + fitting 
but I managed to find an OEN new for way less

Is that central exhaust stock?

Lovely s2k. Awesome colour.
Yep on 2.0 Turbo engines it is (most mk3 Megane have the 1.2-1.6 engines there are very few with 2.0 spec like mine). Exact same exhaust system & engine type as the RS MK3 (RS has slightly larger intercooler & turbo boost is 0.2 bar higher). The other exhaust option for 2.0 is invisible you cannot even see it the tailpipe ends before the bumper & vents down slightly. The 2014 mk4 facelift removed the 2.0 engine option. Then in 2017 they came with yet another system which was changed again 2017-present. You can buy several different aftermarket skirts which cover & integrate the exhaust into the rear differently but most just leave it as is!Is that central exhaust stock?
Where it counts to me is useable engine power wise it has 300 N.m (only 60 less than the RS 275!). With a simple remap its possible to gain 40 BHP & an air filter upgrade adds another 5-7 BHP. If you want to make some serious noise & attract a lot of attention then a turbo BOV on top of that will achieve this

Whilst I'm sure it has surprised a few people, the drivers of most cars out there aren't trying to outdrag anyone.
Get a map on it and wang it up Santa Pod when we're allowed to again.
The exhaust looks very odd to me, the bumper hasn't been styled to accommodate it at all!

Thank you!
It sits beneath the rear skirt its just an exhaust tip to vent the gasses away. If you see the model with no exhaust tip as per this pic (the only other option for 2.0 engines).The exhaust looks very odd to me, the bumper hasn't been styled to accommodate it at all!
Then this one is an RS MK3 with the same exhaust type but they have added little black skirts either side to give the appearance its integrated more than it is!
This is an Australian MK3 RS265 you can see the black skirts either side. In Australia the Megane & RS Megane are very popular its one of their biggest markets!
I could easily buy the black side skirts to make it look like these but prefer to spend the money on petrol (which is very expensive for this car!!).
This French owner modded his further I really like his car he spent a LOT of money on it the custom paintjob alone was €10K again if you look closely his exhaust just has a custom side skirt either side.
