your best mod of 2009

[Greeny.]

Done quite alot of little bits this year, its between my now great looking dials, as looking at the orange when using it as a daily driver is awful:

Or tidying up my engine bay + AST top mounts:

 

[Adamio]

Well my car has been off the road for the whole second half of the year

But from the mods that are currently fitted (as opposed to in my office) i'd say the OMP wheel or AST's

Can't decide which one (could even be the exhaust)

 

[Jamesy04]

It's the media section, and it takes around 20 seconds for me to load. If you're on dial-up, it's not my fault!

yh your right it is the media section but there is a limit to the size of the pictures you should upload, this limit is there to make it easier to view the pictures and quicker to load the page.

and FYI im not on dial up actually ive got bt broadband with the black home hub so it doesnt make any difference to me its just a joke scrolling over 24 acres of one picture

you'd find it annoying also mate

 

[guysy]

Will that pass an MOT? it classed as decatted mate? and if you dont mind me asking, how much? looking to do similar to mine.

Edit reading fail, Sorry.

 

[TimR26]

Fitting Vmaxx coilovers, Tarox G88 discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads, and Goodridge braided hoses completely transformed my car. I'm counting it as one mod because they were all fitted at the same time

 

[Christopher.]

did u fit it all tim?

I didn't upload them - they're from RS Fabrications' site.

No I got JMS to fit it.

I think mine has got to be the 2.25" KTR recessed exhaust (3.5" exit) and decat.

 

[fizzy_drink]

1) Eibach Sportlines
2) Steelies (3kg lighter than the std C2 VTS alloys)

 

[James172sport]

Upgrading from a 1.3 mini to a 172

 

[stevo040880]

I'm really liking the look of that

Yes, it passed an MOT a few days after. The bigger opening is where the catalytic convertor ends so it doesnt effect emissions.

I had that and numerous welds (milltek!!!) done for £30 or £40 but that was mates rates. People are paying £200 over on the trophy forum!

 

[Djw Dave]

I've not done much since buying it off John, bar enjoying it and servicing. But my Best mod must be the Sportlines.

Before

After

 

[clio_luke]

removing the stupid/pointless headlight washer jets that leak and spray your nice clean car. plugged the holes up with rubber grommets from halfords (99p). tidy's up the front end nicely, saves a tiny bit of weight and saves the fustration of the bloody things spraying my car when i have just cleaned it.

another good and cheap mod was removing the drivers seat washers to lower the driving position by around 10mm

 

[Pete.]

I guess it would have to be KTR coilies although i do quite like the carbon wrap roof

[bmh.01]

Not clio related granted but this was pretty good.

i think so yeah, but i haven't had any troubles with it. if i did it only takes 40mins to put them back anyway. looks far better without imo.

Selling the 172!

[172Ben]

ITB's for sure

My best mod decision of 2009 was to mod my car. Spent 7 years as a poverty spec expression and decided she needed a second life.
