Back from the bodyshop (quite pic heavy)

[m0ssy]

Just got the car back this week from the bodyshop, had pretty much a full respray as the car had been keyed etc. and I wasn't happy with a lot of the bodywork. Over the moon now though I'll let the photos speak for themselves, however I'm no photographer so apologies if some aren't very good.

Mods so far:

16" OZ Superleggera's
Lowered 60mm
BMC induction kit
Cat back exhaust
Fully colour coded
172 Spoiler
172 Ph2 Rear bumper
Ph2 rear lights
Ph2 side strips
Megane splitter
Alpine headunit and amp & sub
Clear side repeaters & silvervisions
Shorter ariel
www.ClioSport.net stickers
Private plate


Plans are:

Lower rear springs (too nose down atm, springs on their way as we speak)
Changing splitter (not decided what to yet though)
Wheels refurbished in anthracite
Anthracite side badges & smoked side repeaters to match
HID's
Show cage
Leather interior or possibly buckets (undecided)
Possibly change exhaust (was the only mod done when I bought the car)
Dewiper the rear


Let me know what you lot think, and what you reckon to the plans.

Cheers

How much did the respray cost if you don't mind me asking?! Also, were those front headlamps standard to the car?

Had both sides, front bumper, rear bumper and boot done for £450 at an insuranced approved bodyshop near me, my mate introduced me so I think thats why I got it so cheap, they've done an amazing job tbh

Plates are nice mate...

Thanks mate, theyre the pressed ones from dubmeister

looking good so far

Cheers

Looks mint buddy..good job, not 100% on the exhaust tho!

 

[m0ssy]

Thought about that, just if I get pulled for them I can switch them back to standard atm, I'd be buggered if I changed the recess lol. Could be a mod for the future though

f**k me thats cheap. Getting mine resprayed in August

 

[Miss Jones]

oo i love this!!
brings back the days of my old Dark blue clio same shape, nice motor

 

[m0ssy]

I'll dig out some pics for ya when I get home but not really got any good ones of the keying, I was always ashamed of it n tried to block it out lol. Was all the way down the drivers side though and the door on the passenger side too, right down to the metal. Had other things i wanted tidying up so made sense to do it together. Got a very good price though i agree, so happy, cannot fault the work at all either.

Cheers for all the positive comments

 

[m0ssy]

These pics show it when it was pretty much standard, bar side repeaters, stickers and splitter in one pic, I'll have to dig out some from the day I got it. As I said not really got any of the keying although I can assure you it was bad enough. (Sorry about pic size)

Cheers

Spot on!

 

[cat171]

Looks great that.

 

[Marky_]

I prefer my splitters black and my exhausts stealthy, but the rest seems just right.

 

[Craigie-B15]

you got the peco back box there?

Looks the same as mine

 

[m0ssy]

Thanks for all the feedback, what does everyone think of the future plans?

Think it is mate, as I said it was the only mod done to the car when I bought it but it looks like a full exhaust not just a backbox as it seems to be brand new from the cat back, not 100% though. As I said I may change it in the future but I like the way it sounds and it doesn't look too bad imo. Better than a slash cut jap thing lol.

Cheers

Splitter change is on the cards mate, probably the next mod, just not sure what to change to, any ideas? I would like something carbon but I don't think k-tec's will fit :dapprove:

Cheers

 

[PS autoshine]

that looks f**king wickid man,keep up the plans you've come this far!

 

[Martin]

looks really nice chief...plate is good & different

 

[theduck]

looks really tidy! needs some RS replica skirts

 

[Tigger]

Simply a stunning wee car the plate is growing on me - (I think)

 

[C.J]

Looks really tidy!

 

[Iridium]

Nice dude

Although, don't bother with a show cage - save your money. Maybe keep an eye out for a 172 exclusive leather interior?

Dan

 

[Leeshez]

Stunning

 

[m0ssy]

Thanks a lot to those who have left good comments, means a lot

Don't think I'm going to bother with the replica skirts as I don't wanna go down that route I don't think, and if I ever change my mind I'll be going with the front bumper wings and skirts

Cheers all
