Was Thinking of getting some black angel lights aswell, whats ur thoughts ?

I've got some fitted to mine, dont bother, they look far too googly, and the angels consist of 4 501 bulbs in each ring, looks like 4 dots rather than a ring.

 

[Struggler]

sorry didnt realise you were only 16,

perhaps not an engine just yet,

imo, steer clear for any styling mods that wernt originally featured on a renault, (lexus lights and such)

get the sitckers off, lower it a large amount, get an exhaust,
perhaps sort out the holes in the bumper.

if youve got the money for some angel eyes,
save it and get the sabelt renault sport steering wheel! itll be much better

 

[cliojohn1987]

looks good mate, mk1 ftw

 

[LJColeman]

struggler... Its already lowered to the max, 60mm, and the front bumper is now meshed where the holes are, and its got a powerflow straight threw decat exhaust so thats done too, oh and for the steering wheel its got a polished valver wheel

 

[LJColeman]

Ohh and savi, i think ur lights look pretty good, i think they will finish off the front of the car as they are black aswell..

 

[Savi]

looks good mate, mk1 ftw

John who i bought PAJ from?

 

[LJColeman]

"Savi" Where bouts did you buy your front lights from? Ifve just bought same spoiler as yours Getting it done in white, They easy to fit?

 

[Savi]

You can buy mine if you want? i've got a set in chrome which are going to be completely black with a CAF built in. £60+ delivery for mine.

Got my spoiler from ebay, had screws in it already. Put masking tape over where the spoiler would sit, marked up where the screws went in, then drilled wholes after marking it up. Then had to angle grind the inside strengthening to get to the screws and tighten them up with bolts. Also used a glue/sealant aswell. I'll be changing my spoiler to a valver one aswell, mine doesnt fit as nice as it should

 

[LJColeman]

i was after a black set really and ah right, i just got the same one you got, hopefully put it on monday

 

[jamesd1263]

Loose the Williams stickers!
Loose the sub
Or refit the interior and keep the sub!

LOL at "to the max"
people have no creativity now days!

^^ that is lowered to the max, when you hit speed bumps and your anti roll bar hits the chassis rails! no when youve bought 60mm lowering springs

what im trying to say is, imo it could and should go lower! and as for mesh front grill :S i refer back to my "only use OEM+ (renault) styling parts"
it looks like youre on the right track,
just loose the stickers and it will go up 10x in my books!

 

[LJColeman]

What's wrong with the sub, and why would I want to put the standard interior back? Wud be pointledd wouldn't it...

 

[LJColeman]

It's plenty low enough fpr me, and the stickers are individual so there staying

 

[Sammy 1.2]

Looks good mate... Much better than my 1.2 + Has better stripes

 

[Struggler]

and because of that, i dont like it, and probibly never will stickers make it look far to chavy and the "williams" sticker made jesus kill a puppy!

have you thought perhaps there's a reason why nobody else has done the sticker thing??

 

[IainMcDade]

Not the worse car iv seen but, IMO, the stickers ruin it, it would look brilliant if you removed them and mybe lowered it a bit more, but each to there own and if you like it thats all that matters, btw im lookin for a showcage for my mk1 the now, where did u get urs and how much?? I can only find full, race spec cages online

 

[Jewson172]

What alloys are those in the pic on page 1? I've got a set of them on my ph1 from burpspeed. All he said is that they were speedlines.

 

[IainMcDade]

they're mk1 valver wheels iirc, and r19's had them aswell

 

[LJColeman]

Yeah might take the stickers off one day, but atm I like them, and there 15" speedlines off a valver refurbed in white,I've not got the centre caps tho, look better without, oh and i got my show cage and strut brace from ktec mate, like 800 for both mate

 

[Struggler]

Speedline Vega's
as said, off the ph2 valvers

i defs like the white and black contrast of the wheels and body,
orange drums do nothing more than draw attention to lower spec brake set ups also!

 

[Savi]

I was saying i'm selling my black pair, and i'm painting my chrome ones black so i can use them... PM me if your interested

 

[LJColeman]

well might aswell make them look better than boring brake dust colour ? only a 1.2 no one is expecting Brembo's all round are they ? ?

and okay savi, ill give you a message

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Paint drums black/silver

 

[LJColeman]

why?

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Fits on with the car, orange sticks out....

Silver basically keeps them looking new, but black blends them into th arches so harder to notice

 

[LJColeman]

i want them to be noticed, and i want them to stick out, hence the orange? also ties in with boot struts/sub/amp.

 

[Whiskerz16v]

I can understand the calipers being orange but drums not so much...

Drums look shite!

 

[LJColeman]

good job its not ur car then
