I've got the money to buy a more expensive car if I so chose. I don't choose.
A few hundred spent tarting this up is my chosen course of action. Tbh, I prefer the actual doing the work rather than the finished article anyway. The thrill is in the chase so to speak.

That's not bad. I adore black cars, I'd be very tempted with just a plain black.
Been looking around, I'm tempted to go down the rally car look with white multispoke alloys. I really want bucket/recliner seats and 3 point harnesses, but then I guess I render the rear seats useless by mounting...
Hmm, part of me is wondering if I'm going to be removing and spraying bumpers, why not go for a subtle bodykit and skirts. If such a thing exists!
Some decent alloys and dropped is a given. Those'll be the first two things.

Looks just like this, but 5dr.

Nice wide alloys and lowered go the majority of the way there. After that it's down to the details.
I'm really not into the huge bodykits, they make me cringe. But sideskirts might make a...
Ok, so I've just bought my first clio. A 1995 Mk1. Y'know, the one with the crappy non colour coded bumpers.
Under 50k miles. And only £500. Time for some mods.
First thing will be some multispoke alloys methinks. Is 15" the biggest I can really go? Lower it a bit aswell, depending how...
