Exact same car as mines!
Same colour bonnet badge too!
As for the rest well mines still has a broken mirror and standard alloys

I now want HID kit for mines... Link me where you got them for £60?
Easy to fit yourself?

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

[ROB91]

Thanks Hopefully gonna get hold of some springs for a subtle drop to smarten it up a little more.

Do you need to cut any wires for the HID ???

i have the sidelight LED's and hate that the LED's dont match the headlights

 

[Matt606]

nice mods i have the same model (first car) only done the ph2 light mod so far, hoping to change the alloys soon.

 

[Tom Newham]

Looking good this mate! Might consider a Ph1 when i change cars next.

Nope just plug and play. Really easy to fit. Yeah I've removed my sidelights as I did have some eBay specials but they started flickering so I just took them off haha.

Cheers buddy, yeah its a decent little motor. Easy on my wallet while I'm studying anyway

Thanks man, yeah I was a little unsure when I got it about the style of the PH1 but its growing on me now.

[Ben]

Car is currently giving me 44mpg on my travels to uni everyday

Admittedly driving like a grandad so its no fun

 

[Clio_Al]

Hi i own i 1.4 like yours but the none sport kind what is the diffrence between them

 

[Whiskerz16v]

I don't think mines is giving me that high mpg lol... B roads ftw!

 

[DrewMcLovin]

I found my old beesting aerial off my wreck the other day if you want that lad.
You need a set of silvatechs for the rear lights.
HID kit looks smart as.
Considering one for mine, but i'm unsure on wiring it up? All the ballast shizzle?
You colour coding the rest of it silver at all?

 

[Ben]

Mine has dual optics, 'sport' seats and white dials, different alloys as standard too iirc. And to be fair I think thats the only difference as mine is not sporty at all!

Haha I like how you roll Although my wallet doesn't when I'm in that mood lol.

Cheers man, yeahh I might buy another set off eBay. Mate I'd deffo get a HID kit, best mod I've ever bought tbh I love them at night. Really easy to wire up although I'm not sure if yours would be any different? Theres so much I want to do but my part time wage just can't cover it If I could I'd get it colour coded all round and a nice subtle drop. Just findin the cash as the 3 points I've got on my insurance has killed me this year </3

Iv got some 60mm Springs from my Ph1 1.2 £85 posted

 

[Ben]

 

[MDP91]

looking very smart mate, looks alot better with those mk2 alloys

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Start colour coding it start with side bunostrips and the spoiler...

I'm in the process of that at the moment...
Get holts paint off eBay pretty decent colour match...
Also need grey primer and clear laquer though

Other than that it's pretty sweet man

Maybe spray the alloys anthracite...

And finally get lows ( budget it ftw! Keep an eye on eBay for spring kits going cheap )

 

[DanDarkin]

Thats siiik mate!! absolutely love it!!
i love those headlights aswell there immensely bright!!!!

 

[Ben]

Right there should be some decent updates to this thread over the next few weeks. Took some parts off the car today to be colour coded

Also taken the fog light surrounds to be done aswell

mx_champ doing the spraying for me

First coat of primer

I'm going back tomorrow and he should of had them sprayed up then so I'll take some pictures and if they're dry get them fitted! I'm also getting the front and rear bumper coded which will be done next week, then I will be ordering some 60mm springs

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Damn it your one step ahead of me now!!

 

[Ben]

Got my side skirts today

How the car looks atm

Trail fit of the side skirts, can't wait to get them fitted.

 

[Clio-Ell]

Glad you like the skirts. Its going to look really smart! Bumpers next?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Just lowering you've got left to do now then

Coming to FCS?

 

[Ben]

Yeah bumpers and lowering springs should hopefully be done next week

 

[kerry-w]

Looks good and nice plans too

Out of interest, where did you get the skirts from and how will they be fitted? looking for a pair myself.

 

[Ben]

 

[Whiskerz16v]

no got the colour coded spoiler and bump strips on yet?

mine will be pretty similar in few weeks time! albeit without lowering and side skirts on

 

[Ben]

Got the spoiler and half of the bump strips fitted. I'll take a picture tomorrow, and should be gettin everythin else back for Saturday evening. So I'll get some pictures up then

 

[Whiskerz16v]

ive got my smooooooooth bump strips in primer... waiting for warmer weather to paint them as ive no got a heater

 

[Ben]

I've had my bullets smoothed over, being painted up tomorrow with the rest of the stuff. I actually can't wait to get the stuff fitted

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Yeah that's what I've done to the sides too

I'm not doing the bumpers though... Doesn't look right to me...

 

[Ben]

Got everything back and fitted yesterday bar the smooth bullets which I'll be picking up and fitting on Tuesday, really pleased with the results and cannot wait to get the front and rear bumper colour coded now too. I've also ordered a Skoda splitter off a member from here but its not arrived yet so I'll get that fitted as soon as it comes. Anyway here's a few pictures after I rinsed off the car this morning.

And I really like this last picture for some reason

Comments appreciated

 

[Whiskerz16v]

[Ben]

[Whiskerz16v]
