I second this!

That's pretty good, that mates rates or is that a sort or average price haha? And sure send it through, cheers!

That's decent mate, may look into them! How you gonna fit them? Yourself or have a garage do it?

Not yet, saving for a set at the moment! Christmas and a mess up with my wage has left me truly skint haha! What ones did you go for?

Apologies for the lack of updates, not really been much happening with the car other than some fitted mats and I installed some 6k HIDs, makes a huge difference though!

Was driving home from work around 8 from Hamilton on the expressway and seen a nice white clio gt. I was in a black gt heading towards EK! Not sure if it's anyone on here, just thought I'd check. Looks nice in white though!

That's what I'd got previously for the last car, and still had the H1 bulbs so I put them in the projectors in this car! Really want HIDs but I'm scared after reading all the legality nonsense on them aha! Agreed though, waaaaay overpriced. The LEDs were about 6 quid, but they were looking for...

Took me a good 6 months or so to find one, apart from my Saturday job I had in a music shop, that only gave me money for one night out at the weekend hahah :P Changed the dipped beam bulbs today, to some whiter, brighter ones I had lying around. Also changed out the sidelight bulbs for some...

I'm sure I seen them for about £120 for the set online somewhere. I'm a full time student too so I know what's it's like trying to run a car and try save for things haha :P got a job recently though, hence the new car! :)

I actually seen your thread a while back, the ultraleggeras are very nice ;) Do you think the eibach springs lowered it enough? Or should I go for 45mm springs? I'm gonna keep the gt wheels and lower it first and then think about maybe changing the alloys.

Checked them out, decent priced! Don't like the fact they're yellow though, want something that looks oem :P For similar money I can get h&r springs that lower it 45mm, heard anything good about them? I've certainly heard a great deal of good reviews about the eibach springs, but I don't know...

Thinking about it, I like them too, but I think I'd like them a lot more though if I got rid of the silly arch gap! Maybe I should look at doing that before new wheels :) Can anyone recommend what springs to go with? Can't get coilovers with my current insurance unfortunately :(

Hmm, it's hard to judge really! Anyone got any suggestions on nice wheels that would suit the car?

Yeah i will probably go with springs further down the line once I have the moneyz haha. Driving it though is so different to the 1.2, both power and handling. Takes corners much better, and much less body roll! Would be even better if lowered. Any idea what size of wheels would be best to...

NOTE: I'm not disabled. My neighbour kindly lets me use her spot when she's not home. :P

Got impatient and decided to take some quick snaps. Poor quality, but the best I could do when it's almost pitch black with a slight orange glow from the street lamps. Using a canon 550D and a 50mm 1.8f lens, flash just reflected off everything shiny tbh!

Ok picked up the clio earlier! Wow, such a difference compared to the iMusic 1.2, it's much nicer to drive. The car doesn't rock/bounce around so much like the last one, suspensions a bit stiffer, handling is improved also. Shifts when you want it to, but isn't gonna kill me haha! Still...

UPDATE: Picking up the GT in the morning, so excited haha! I'll post some pics, my thoughts and whatnot once I got it ;)

Definitely haha, there's almost none on youtube, rather odd!

Okay a quick update. Deposit is down on the GT, picking it up on Thursday/Friday. Ill post photos etc once I've got it! :)

Is that possible :O that sounds like an interesting project... Keeping in mind I only have very basic mechanical skills. Haha!

It's a 100hp I think, but still quick! Yeah I can get about 45mpg max in my clio at the moment. Think I've decided on the GT guys and the parents seem alright about it. FINGERS CROSSED. Gonna see if the garage phone back and try negotiate a little first. Paying 880 for insurance on it at...

Cars never seem to live up to their stated mpg haha. :( my parents 2013 fiesta 1.0 ecoboost should be like 50-60 and it's lucky if it gets 35 on the trip computer lol! Quick little car though!

It's only an extra 200 for me to change to the 1.6 on my policy, so about 880 in total and that's for the remaining 10 months on my policy. Keep in mind I'm 18, only been driving since January, that's bloody good! Tested out the GT, was really nice to drive! Could definitely feel the extra...

I'll give the gt vvt a test drive. Maybe they'll be nice and let me have a shot of a tce model too, since I got my car from them :) As for choosing between them, I think I'd still go with the gt. The spec for the same money is just considerably more, would seem like more of an upgrade from...

I know tbh I'd prefer the tce engine! But the fact the GT has the sport body kit, dual tipped exhaust, sport alloys, cruise control, climate control, front and rear disk brakes, half leather interior, 6 speed gearbox makes it real tempting. My local garage can get me it for almost the same as...

Yeah, agreed, the facelift front end end is much nicer. Yeah the reviews on them are good, just don't have the option for them at the moment with my insurance :( Ten months and I'm free :rasp: Very nice! Guessing that's an aftermarket exhaust? I've kinda had a notion not to do anything else...

My insurance only changed by 50 quid when I changed from my polo -which cost me 800 quid- To my clio that I have now :P

Agreed, looks awesome on coilovers!

It's the same with all my friends, most of them are named drivers. I'm just glad it's in my own name, means I'm building up my NCB, already got a year since I got insured before I'd even passed my test :D
