my first car project

[jamesburrows]

I am new to forums and unfortunately I havent got round to taking any photos of my car yet, shes not very photogenic lol

I am currently driving 03 plate 1.2 16v dynamique, after having an accident in my first clio (god bless her soul) the insurance has gone mad!

I have a few ideas in mind but im looking for help with plans for the car.

untill I build up a few years no claims I am unable to modify the engine or slam it so those are both out of the question.

I have just bought some clio turbines on low profile tires for a very good price which I am spraying matte black and fitting them on tuesday afternoon,

looking forward to hearing some ideas.
heres a picture of the turbines ready to be cleaned and sprayed

heres a couple of photos I took at the garage the day I bought it

Cheers!

The turbines are on! and they look good, more importantly my mother approves! Saturday a friend is helping me clean my baby ready for some photographs, really excited to see what they turn out like.

There is a huge lack of response on this thread so I thought i'd ask a couple of question,
Im looking for a new front splitter - any recommendations?
+ New wipers? again any recommendations?
Thankyou

I love turbines! Just have search there is quite a few options regarding the splitter. I would recommend some aero wipers x

heres a quick photo, as I said clean and better pictures should be up with weekend, was looking for a bit of feedback, and where you would take it from here, the obvious answer would be slam it but I phoned my insurance and it would cost farrr too much! cheers guys

 

[Hi# im steve]

colour code ur black bits?? thats what i'd do, but to be fair i'd lower it and not tell the insurance folks :rasp:

definitely do not do this...

what is it your querying the insurance about? if it's just coilovers see if it'll be any cheaper just for lowering springs

needs slamming to pull of turbines

Get a set of colour coded mirrors

Personally turbines in black just look like steelies so would of went for White but that's just me

 

[JezzaMac]

Get rid of the bonnet bra, Get an RS Grill and swap your black headlight inserts for my grey ones haha

Oh and colour code your bumpers and side strips and mirror covers

Appart from that it looks tidy

 

[jamesburrows]

black badges now, thankyou for all your advice, wheres the best place to get the splitters listed? scrap yard?

 

[jamesburrows]

still looking for rs grille

 

[jamesburrows]

is anyone selling one?

 

[sbridgey]

please get rid of the bonnet bra, have you tried ebay and watch out for when people break their cars they sometimes sell them but they tend to go quickly

think you may need to pay membership to get the for sale section
