got kit from manchester and met a lad in manhester for alloys.

I know how to shop! thats how. :rasp: :approve: im like a hawk when it comes to bargains!

all that money! this has been done on a budget, full kit and alloys cost me £240 paints etc. £52 <£300 for conversion.

bit of a update, refurb is finished :) front fogs added in meantime until 172 bumper is finished been re-painted.

should fir onto standard, pic here:

change over model are often made with random parts so you can sometimes get a bit of everything, really annoying when your wanting to do a engine swap :mad:

ah rite, didnt read it right. :o

those are the 172 alloys. you wanting the 172 cup ones?

but a thread up in the wanted section asking for some alloys that your wanting and your budget, but first you will have to become a paid member.

are you replcaing the engine with anotehr 172, or going for a 182?

ebay, pistonheads, scrappy, become a member and get one of here?

haha, i'l give it a clean and some tyre dressing soon. thinking 50mm on front and 60mm and back, and yeah coilovers.

these are the outcome of the refurb. On the car:

chrome look so cheap when done wrong. wouldnt advise it tbh.

few pics. clio sport stickers added: sneak preview of alloys before the get refurbed in gloss black:

haha, yeah will be my next project, but until insurance goes down, not much can be done performance wise :( yeah they fit fine, but as said, few changes to bulb holder wiring. going to be smoking mne black anyway but we'l see how it looks.

alloys and full 172 bodykit collected. Now to get the sander out for some refurbs :D

only problem with tip-ex that its not actually white, its always cream on paper. why havent they sorted this yet, major design fault?

hahaha. I FOLD! thats so good. You could wind up spagetti like knowones business! Pratical and not time consuming. now where would i go about buying one of these devices?

well ive learnt something new :) cheers, good vid.

photobucket, flickr etc. find the direct link, create your post and enter with the link between the gap :)

im with elephant £1628 fully comp, 0ncb 1 claim, 19 :) admiral, elepahant, bell are all same company so will get similair offers.

lmaooo. I had my saxo lowered 60mm on rear, and had 6 people in the car. any bump and it scraped, who cares do it till you feel thats enough, 3 trips tbh should do it.

may sound daft but the cheapest option would be to get the same colur paint as the car, spray it onto a cotton bud and rub it in, just not to much for it to look a complete bodge lol

or if you have the holes, just screw it on :)

where the bumper ends at each side behind the wheel arches should be a 13mm bolt, undo at each side, then below and the bottom it sould be attached with 2 torx screws, depending on which model uve got, can be attached at top aswell

haha yeah I can tell on sides, back looks a lot better though. and tbh ANY body shop that recomends halfords paint stay clear of. they clearly have no idea about paint. body shops should use a water based paint for a lot better finish, as halfords only supply with oil based.

nice looking car, just out of curiosity what paint did you use for colour coding?

cheers guys. picking up alloys and bodykit tommorow :D not in a rush to sort it, so its not going to be a bodge.

rite so finally got some pics up, couldnt send then off my old phone as lost the lead lol.
