Coyle's Clio, Albi Blue 197 '08

[coyle]

Hi guys, new to the forum, but finally took some pics of the car so thought id share them.
Always liked my cars, I had a Fiat Stilo for a few years, which I had featured in max power, went down the euro route with it:

I then swapped that for a MK1 Audi S3, Completely standard, Had that tidied up, full spray, abit of rust removal, facelift lights, but mainly focused on the engine this time..

It was running 269.4bhp when I finished, but the age was showing and it wasn't as reliable as I wanted. I only had it for 6months but traded it in 2 weeks ago for a 08plate 197..

08 plate, 1 owner, 15,000 on the clock

Since having it i've done a few subtle bits.

Debadged, renault sport exhaust tips, painted callipers (not done fronts yet), new plates, renault sport steering wheel trim, indicator bulbs and renault tunepoint.

Pics:

No massive plans for it, i'd like to space the rear wheels out to sit on the arch line better, maybe 20mm.
Gloss black rear diffuser and painted renault badges front and back. I'd like anthracite but don't know if the rear diffuser would look out of place then, so maybe do them black too.

Opinions and suggestions welcome

Are we not going to see MEGA LOWS from this build?

Looks mint mate, Albi is a wonderful colour in the flesh.

The exhaust tips don't work though, never have tbh. Will look fantastic with the black diffuser.

H&R springs give a real nice look on these, especially with some spacers...

Other than that, looks spot on mate, as Gally said above, Albi is an awesome colour

It does look amazing in the flesh, pics don't do it justice.

I think the tips look much better than the standard slash cut. i just think it looks crap with a nice diffuser but no visible exhaust.

If I go gloss black with the diffuser I dont know what to do with the renault badges? gloss black, anthro, carbon or leave them as they are

yeh i'd like rear spacers, would make the stance 100% better imo.
dont realy know where to look though, prob ebay for some £50 hubcentrics i think

Them indicator bulbs are shocking. The orange is better.

Other than that its a nice car.

I think i'll leave my badges as they are, and do the diffuser gloss black.

What are peoples thoughts on the F1 stickers?
I got a set cheap (the rear was damaged, I just cut it down and removed the damaged part)

I only got them as they were so cheap, though it was worth sticking them on to see if i liked them, which I do. So i'll be leaving them on haha

Don't really do it for me personally.
