HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - tigerstyle - 30-05-2013

I thought HDI Meridians were supposed be top of the range dervs?
Why is it that some come with steel wheels and plastic wheel trims then?

Not an expensive thing to put right with some nice Peugeot 15" alloys but still ,seems weird when they all have the 1/2 leather/aircon/electrics that the other meridians do?

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - puglove - 30-05-2013

IIRC no meridian came with clones, only swollows harriers or steels so non of the came with the "top spec" wheels

We're they not an optional extra ?? S if you asked the stealer they would have thrown some on ??

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - tigerstyle - 30-05-2013

Ok sorry, I don't mean the desirable Cyclones, but an 'alloy' wheel not a 15" steel and some plastic Smile
Just seems that only 10% of Meridians are on steels, not a very 'standard' model spec is it?

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - 4WayDiablo - 30-05-2013

I'm sure things could have changed considering its 15 years since it left the factory lol

That would be because its Dturbo spec not meridian


But yes some meridians came with steels but I though they were all 14" steels

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - 4WayDiablo - 30-05-2013

My old meridian had lasers on :-)

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - puglove - 30-05-2013

Oh yeah I forgot about lazers they were fairly common

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - ginge191 - 30-05-2013

Dturbo on clones; this is a true story ThumbsUp

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - kingy - 30-05-2013

Mine had lazers. Never heard of steels on one I must admit. And another thing. You wont find a black mardian either.

Black was a colour available on all models for a £250 premium iirc? Or do you mean because Meridian spec included the pearlescent paint colours?

My old meridian hdi had lasers lol

Not true there is a black meridian round my way.

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - Toms306 - 30-05-2013

Meridian is the 'luxury' spec.... It's for comfort, hence smaller wheels with bigger profiles and the soft suspension. Want sporty, buy a DTurbo.

HDi Meridians all came with swallows or lasers, unless specced otherwise by the owner. HDi 'L' or 'LX' come on 14" steels usually.

1.4/1.6 Meridians came on 14" steels as they were obviously cheaper models, and steels are lighter and better for fuel efficiency which is what 1.4 owners want.

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - Jonny81191 - 30-05-2013

All the late HDi meridian SE's had 'clones from the factory

RE: HDI Meridian spec cars with steel wheels? - Toms306 - 30-05-2013

Well when they stopped making hatches I s'pose that's the best way to get rid of spare 'clones lol. Big Grin
