Progress Pictures

[HILLY]

think someones got a very rich daddy tbh. I thought you were using Kicker, so your install with be gash anyway

Also seem quite egocentric TBH

Why have a 172 Throttle Bodies and 20's? Its still going to be slow.

I want a supercharged 182 lump in mine

Your Rims are far too expensive for Second hand. Potn Do them for £899 + £200 for the P Zero Upgrade

I'm managed to find some 20's I like the look of, and not too expensive, have to see if any over time is going.

here we go

That kit is awful sorry but it doesnt even look right on the car ! It looks so weird! Sorry but thats how i feel probably not the first ?

My wheels are not second hand read the add they are a bit dusty but 100% NEW !

 

[kpowell911]

each to his own, I appreciate all comments, negative and positive.

 

[SeanM86]

the first front bumper looked nicer imo but still it seem to be comin on well. Whats the plans for the paint job now??

 

[HILLY]

So crazy clio, your favourite clio ever is the silver/blue one on the cover of revs 2003 ! Well il change your mind !! Lol

 

[Ali]

That front end is a bit....dodge...

What colour is it going to be...Can't be arsed reading the pages above.

 

[theduck]

Dont know if you are aware of this, but Energized have a HUGE sign in there window anouncing they are CLOSING DOWN!! Hope they finish your car before they do mate, for some reason though I have a feeling they are just going to f**k you over

 

[ant]

you goin FCS if its all ready??

2007?

 

[kiza1986]

lol sarcy....I was told by the people at energized the other day that the time is nothing to do with them and its the fact that one bumper they were bought didnt fit properly so they had to wait for another to be sent to them..duno how true this is though

[HILLY]

Cant be any worse than my car Sabre wne t bust and didnt tell me for 6 months they had done so and also didnt complete the car.

On collecting the car all the work the monkeys had done on it in the 6months had to eb redone due to them not doing things correctly.

It has probably cost me around 15-18k for the bodywork alone....i should seek a solicitor for the money back but i honestly cant be bothered!

 

[Fred@BTM]

send me some pics you gayer!!!!!

 

[kpowell911]

True regarding the bonnet, But why couldnt they get on with other things like the bonnet whilst they were at it?

Its true the yare closing down, After my car is finished, is it suprisingafter this is how they treat customers?

I'm not sure on the front end myself either It does look better with the new bonnet and when the car isnt on axle stands.

 

[kpowell911]

Right Heres some gossip.

Energized UK have closed down. The manager director of the partnership[ wasnt happy with the progress and has pulled the plug. Today was the last day of trading, they had a 75% off sale, I managed to buy a brand new Cobra Sidewinder seat for £40!!

Anyway, My car will be finished wednesday. b****cks I thought to myself, So the managing director asked me to come down and check out the progress.

are you ready for the results

The pictures dont do it justice, Just the mesh has to be sprayed.

I'm, so happy with it!

Comments please

 

[Middo]

i like everything bar the front, really doesnt go with the smooth look of the rest of the car, but other than that work looks spot on

 

[kpowell911]

thanks, i appreciate all comments good and bad

 

[Martin_172]

MUCH better than i first expected mate, it looks awesome!

 

[Middo]

what spoiler are you having on it??? (cant be arsed to go back and look lol)

 

[Martin_172]

yeah was just going to say that whats happening with the spoiler and back lights

 

[kpowell911]

im not spoilers didnt suit, might put a 182 one on it though. I do prefer it without.

The lights are K-tec MAsks

 

[Middo]

i'm glad your not going for the ridiculous overthetop spoiler look, although i think a v6 one would really suit it

 

[kpowell911]

th back is also much lower with an interior and 4 12" subs and 5 amps lol

 

[Martin_172]

yep probably be perfect

 

[steven.m]

stunning car mate, nice one

 

[Trail182]

not something I'd do myself.. but I do think your car looks ace and they seem to have done a good job mate.

congrats

 

[The Big Yin]

Doesnt look three bad only criticism would be the front bumper just doesnt look right needs something smoother IMHO Lookk forward to finished pics and better quality ones FFS borrow a camera

 

[Tom_E]

it looks good! bet your well pleased mate that your actually gonna have the keys on wednesday!! touch wood!

 

[The Fatty]

aahhhhhhhhh wheres all the join lines gone?! alians have eatten them!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dan@SJM]

looks a very good job, may not be to peoples tastes, nor mine, but it has been done extremely well and i would be happy with the quality of work!

 

[kpowell911]

Thanks for all the kind words, to be impressive on this forum seems very a difficult, unless you havea 182 with certain engine mods.

I love the front end but agree with the fact it shuld be smoother, but its BETTER than I wanted.

haha, I havea digital camera, an 8mp one, but they have got loadsa high res build pics, these are just for my eyes

 

[Tom_E]

^^dont be so mean! resize them and share them!

 

[kpowell911]

They ahve them on theres, well, Cant see me getting them back now.

Sooon there will be a new thread with the exterior finished pics (with a proper camera )

Then look out of the interior and Ice Progress Thread. Then Phase 2 Bodywork

 

[Tom_E]

kool mate good luck with it!

 

[theduck]

fantastic mate, looks great and glad to hear your happy with it!

 

[GarethM]

not my cuppa tea but can appreciate the money and effort gone into it.
looks like a good job on it!!

 

[kpowell911]

thanks for all the kind comments so far

 

[theduck]

oh def go V6/trophy spoiler, would finish it off nicely. oh and the K-tec colour coded rear lights

 

[Loopz]

The rear looks really good, not so keen on the front...love the rims though

 

[AmirClio]

after all the comments good and bad i think that no body expected it to turn out like it did. personally i thinks its reall nice!!! im not a major fan of vastly modified cars, but its just looks right with the colour, the wheels and the smoothed look. a definate 1 off!!! good job mate.

U'd better get some pics posted when its in the daylight so people can really apreciate it when the sun hots it, it will look really nice!!

well done mate u must have alot of patience!! lol

Amir

 

[kpowell911]

thanks again, i get it back tommorrow around 6pm

then its coming home and im locking it away to work on the interior + ice

 

[kpowell911]

Giot it back a few problems however:

They have mislaid my rear Numberplate
There is no back box on the car

I supplied rear number plate light bolts, but they didnt install them cause i didnt ask, i did expect them to be fitted after paying £4,000+ but hey, it wasnt on the list. I need to get an exhaust and my plate wired up before i can drive back.

Would I recommend Energized doing your body kit? well.

If you dont like bein without your car for a while, and just wan ta basic kit fitting then no.

But if like me, time scale isnt a problem, and you wanty some thing one off, then YES, cause the workmanship is top notch!

pics mate?
