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?

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

That would be because its Dturbo spec not meridian
But yes some meridians came with steels but I though they were all 14" steels

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?

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.

Can't, theres no 'R' lol. 
But I was also pretty certain you couldn't get them. Although saying that, you can get anything with enough money chucked in the right direction.....

No it isn't, its a GLX but with leaf half leathers..........it still has a GLX badge and GLX on the logbook.
And probably specced like that as the first owner couldn't get a black meridian...
