When are you about? Still in Clapham? A drive for a polish? ;)

Waders mate. I'm glad I bought it! Proper love this car. Very well mate, feels a damn lot faster than the 172 that's for sure, whether it actually is or not, who knows. It's about 230bhp yeah, which feels more than adequate, the power is just always there! Turn sport mode on and the...

This'll be proper interesting. I bet there's some money in selling the spares from the car you currently have no? All the seats and door cards look well.

Yeah it's not, and for the money involved I'm unsure if it's worth it. At the moment I prefer the grills as is, based upon a like for like picture anyway, looks a bit meaner. Just went out for a drive to get lunch, just because it's so nice. I'm actually in love with this car.

He's just lost the nut off of the stud, not the stud itself (I think).

It's a lot of £££ to sort out the lights as I want them really. De-orange the front ££££ Clean indicator discs for the sides £ Facelift style home made rear lights ££ Add up all those £'s and you've got a lot of money I haven't got at the moment. I think I'll spend some money servicing it...

Looks amazing but by god that dash is dated!!!

That looks proper awesome mate, transformer-esque! What box option have you gone for?

If its just the sounder for the alarm that's ok Have you got a socket set? You should be able to get it done with any old kit. It's pretty hard to just fall off tbh, have you still got the bolt? Or has it gone? Most of the guys that break Clio's on here should be able to send you one for a £...

Yours is folding hard top then Alan? That's awesome!!! You need to take me for a spin some time soon? Thanks for all the nice comments, I can't believe you actually like it dan!! Anyway, centre caps here, quick pic or two: MUCH better!!!

It's just a shame he won't accept the wheels don't look right. I couldn't give a monkeys if he wants to impress, it's just a shame to ruin what is (IMO) a proper wicked and classy looking motor with some tiny (for the car) and poorly offset wheels. Oh and is my opinion more valid because I...

Garage? No, no need. You do however NEED to tighten them up as if it rattles off you'll lose the bolts and result in a big lump of metal flying around in the bay. Have you got a halfords tool kit? You need the medium sized ratchet, shortest extension and either the 10 or 13mm long socket.

Cheers for that shout Mike, awesome!

Bonnet is light and aids with cooling surely? ;)

Cheers northerners. I'll go 6000k from HID's direct with the slim ballasts as apparently they're probably easier to hide away? Unless anyone has any other ideas of course...

Download photo bucket app, take photos, go into photo bucket, upload photos, use [img] link (click to copy) and then paste it onto here. Done.

I will Kev. Just need to find out what kits are decent etc first then I'll invest. I just really like the look of that conversion. I need to do something with the headlights anyway as I need to have the front bumper off and get everything lined up properly. At the moment the panel gaps around...

Here we are: Before: After:

Let me find the pics of the recent install someone did, really quite subtle. I'll be retro-fitting xenons as they're projector lenses, I just won't have the washers (oh well). Just need to find a kit I'm confident in. Gimmie a minute.

I do like how it's so anti purist. Proper function over form.

Kev, if I were to de-tago, I'd go for the clear side indicators too. Rhys and duck, new headlights are well over £500, so yes, expensive. If I get bored over the summer I may do it myself. Is it wrong that if I had them apart I'd want to do the angel eye mod loads of people have done? It...

It would, but it's £££ or you've got to have serious man sized balls. Buying new ones is top money, taking old ones apart is cheap but scary.

Quite possibly. :D

They get here today gents don't panic. Cheers for the positive comments :)

Not the best pictures, but some with the top down from yesterday: (Sorry they're in some horrible busy car park, I was at college and couldn't see anywhere empty)

I think it's more the badboy bonnet and angel eyes TBH.... ;)

Jon, I've come to the conclusion you're just very 90's with your styling, and that's OK.

I know you're getting a hard time but it's a lovely looking motor! Shame the wheels look like you've had them stolen by some northern gypsy and then couldn't afford to replace them.

Great work, looks really nice actually. Why is anyone worried about the hosepipe ban? I've been washing as normal. Had one comment from a neighbour who asked 'what about the hosepipe ban' I just replied with 'I don't see how I'm going to use any more water than the Bosnians at the top of the...

I agree with you on both accounts there mate. I'll try to take some pics with the roof down today. New number plates will be done, but they're not a priority. They would be if all the black was running etc. It's still getting: New interior mats Roof clean Exhaust polish Such a tosser.
