Black Gold Trophy
This how I bought the car in October 2007...
My first mods were to fit an alpine headunit with an ipod adapter and an autoleads stalk adapater (that didn't work!)
I then bought some rainbow components and a genesis amplifier. I fitted the amp to a piece of mdf and trimmed it in some alcantara I had lying around from my last car, luckily it was a near on perfect match!
I then had a go at trimming the a-pillars in alcantara too...
I then did some parts of the dash...
For some bizarre reason my car came with the cup rear spoiler, cup alloys and cup suspension but no front splitter.
I tried to negiotiate one out of renault when I bought it, but it wasnt happening! The two front wheels were also kerbed when I bought the car, but they wouldn't refurb them for me either.
So I went in and ordered a set of trophy alloys and a splitter and got them to give them to me at trade price
Fitted the splitter...
The tyres on the standard cup alloys were on their way out so I used them for a couple weeks before I put these babies on...
After forking out a fortune for the tyres I fittted the wheels and went for a bank holiday drive down to brighton with my mate who had just bought a 182.
Come MOT time the discs needed doing, I had previously said this to the dealer when I had noticed they were worn, but again renault found a way to wiggle their way out!
So I bit the bullet and bought some brembo plain cut discs as they were cheaper than OE ones.
I then got myself a K&N panel filter and removed the acoustic valve, didn't bother taking any pics.
Then I got a scorpian exhaust in the cliosport group buy...
Got a bit of knocking from the exhaust from a slightly worn bracket.. I wasnt going to pay renaults rip off prices for a new one, so ghetto fix for the win! Couple of cuts of hosepipe and some cable ties!
I then got hit by the detailing bug...
2 weeks after polishing, this is the paint looking dirty!
I recently fitted some streamline carbon foglight surrounds and some cup washer blanking plates.
I never liked the look of the headlamp washers and I never saw them really being beneficial, they just seem to put streaks down the bumper and wings!
I then painted the ones on my girlfriends cup for her and they looked spot on so I got myself a set and painted them black gold.
Sorry about the sh*t pics but the weather is crap at the moment so its hard to make the car look good!
