Update! Picked up a few new parts yesterday. One that was in my plans anyway...
It's a terrible picture but it's a colour coded spoiler from a 172. This should be going on next weekend hopefully.
The other bits I picked up weren't in my plans but I'm really glad I did get them! It's a sports...
Haha I know it is mate but I'm not done fitting the new parts yet, took longer than I thought and the Liverpool game is on in a minute so got to have a break for that. Not sure if finished pics will be up today but I'll take a pic of the parts I'm going to be putting in just for you Jesus you...
Car had a full service today and a new cambelt.
Also picked up some new parts today, some of which weren't actually part of my plans but you can't ignore a bargain! ;) will update tomorrow with pictures if I manage to get it all done :)
Plans sound good, always liked euro cars. However I'm not sure 50mm will be low enough if you're going for a euro look, but I'll reserve my judgement until seeing pictures. Welcome to the website mate :)
The advice I was given which I think is pretty damn good advice:
(As said by everyone else) Assume every other road user is an idiot, you'll be right a surprising amount of the time.
When you're on a road and see someone waiting to join that road (from a junction etc.) take your foot off the...
Can't believe I've only just seen this absolutely amazing clio! Really hope another member buys it so I might get a chance to see it in person at a meet.
Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
Ah ok then. I think I'm one of the few people on here who doesn't mind tints, I think light tints look good, but limo tints just shout chav to me personally. Don't blame you for saving your money for coilies, by far the best mod I ever did! Plus then you'll be...
Re: Silver MK3 TCE Progress Thread
I think this will look amazing with the superlegs and coilies on! If I was you I'd do the badges the same colour as the alloys and get some spacers with them too. Also, are you planning on keeping the tints? They're a bit too dark for my personal taste
Only just saw this post but I'm pretty sure this is me! Don't remember seeing you sorry :(
I think I would've been on 172 alloys and no coilovers at the time, does that fit the description?
Re: Cardiff Bay Meet 2nd February
Awesome, thanks for the invite. Looking forward to meeting some new people (and seeing that mk1 focus RS, love those machines). I've only been to 1 meet before and that was in Manchester! What sort of turn out are you expecting?
Don't understand this level of laziness. Coming from someone who woke up about 20 minutes ago...
However it's a different story for leaving your leftovers on the table if you're inside. Officially, McDonalds is a restaurant, how many other restaurants do you go to where you have to clean up...
Looks absolutely quality that mate! Still can't figure out what you've done to the front bumper though! The bump inserts and foglights certainly look like a standard ph2 front bumper but then it has headlight washers even though you don't have xenons?! :S
I'm referring to the small renault diamond on the airbag of clio steering wheels. In my ongoing quest to eradicate everything chrome from my car I've reached an inpass. Is it possible to remove it if i just pull it hard enough? Don't really want to break it.
I would've thought someone on here...
Thanks for that. Ok then, I'd recommend you check out Danman's project thread as his is the same colour as yours and he's done similar things to his, you can also see the difference between black side strips and cc'd ones there :)
Looking good so far, definitely get some coilovers, best mod ever for a non sport! Not a fan of the first set of alloys you bought :P but they would've looked great if you powdercoated them black. May I ask how much it was for the 172 rear bumper and respray? As I want that to be my next mod...
Definitely lose the bonnet raisers and if i was you i'd probably take off the bra too. But overall I like it! I don't usually like stickerbombing but I think you've made it work because it's just black and white, but either go all out or lose it, get the spoiler done too then the roof won't look...
40/45mm will definitely make a big difference I think. I'm not sure how much coilovers cost for a mk3 but mine were only £120 used, so glad I got these and didn't put on the 35mm springs I had bought. Looking forward to updates :)
I'll reserve my judgement on the alloys until it's lowered as it will look completely different then, but they don't look too bad :) How much lower you planning to go on the springs? Because that arch gap is rather sizeable :o you might be better off with some coilies
