1.2 Clio Dynamique



  MK5 Fiesta Zetec S
why are you modifying your mums car surely it would be easier/better to buy your own car instead of blowing all the money on this?

however get turbines they look sexy ;) and because this is a project get some pictures up :)
 
Jon i love the look of your car mate...cant help thinking they look too much like standard steelies though? might try a set of white steelies first...see how they go ? thanks for the inspiration tho...lovely looking car ;)

Possibly, but I'm not bothered. If you want something that looks more like a conventional alloy, get some TD 1.2's.
The only other wheel I'd run on my car would be 16" Turinis in white or anthracite.

Oh forgot to mention...im actually buying the car from my mum soon so any mods i make will be kept when i have this car as my own...and jon...i'm not sure if i want conventional alloys, and im not sure if mine could pull off the turbines like yours could :/

Ok mate fair enough :)

if you decide to sell your current alloys give me a pm :) so how much you looking at spending on your car?

urrrm not too much..gona try do everything on a budget...and i will do mate...probably looking to do a swap if anything...your car looks good too mate...good start...really wanna colour code mine :)
 
  Monaco 172
yeah yeah...that looks pretty good actually :) your swaying me towards them yano ;) ha id like white mirror caps too..or is that a big NO? haha
 
Each to their own tbh. I felt that there was enough white, and didn't want to ruin the look of the rest of the car. Sometimes it can look OK.
 
I personally think it would be overkill.

I contemplated white bullets, but simply though there was no point. The white wheels just finish it off, IMO there is no need to add to it. Possibly colourcoded bullets with white lettering could work quite well.

Just attempted a quick photo edit to see what grey/anthra wheels would look like...heres the results...comments please?

to be honest, i think 172 wheels are my best bet, until some decent turbines come around my way :) im due new tyres very soon, so want the wheels for then :)

Just a quick word of advice.

since you're going to get bummed by the insurers regardless of what you drive, why not hold back on throwing money at the car and keep your money for things that are somewhat more important:-

Tax
Insurance
Fuel
Servicing

You know, the basics. A car is a lot cooler when you can legally drive it.

Just to let you know mate, my insurance is a very reasonable price at the moment, and i have included these modifications in my renewal quotes and i am more than sure i can afford it, so can definatley legally drive it...thanks :)

would i need spacers on my car to fit the 172 wheels? sorry for the all the questions, dont have a clue about wheels :p
 
  Monaco 172
i'd love a set of turbines :) which is why i havent bothered going through with trying to win the 172 wheels. have now ordered new tyres for my current wheels which will be fitted tomorrow, so im just gona stick out and wait for turbines :)

Just had the car in the garage again. I noticed a whining sound after the belts were changed last week. i immediatley thought that the timing belt was too tight so rang up the place were i had them changed. Took it back today and they had told me it is the wheel bearing...£167 :/ so im pretty gutted on that one :(

£167 for A wheel bearing....

Thing that annoyed me most was that my car was in for MOT and service the other week, when the cambelts etc were changed, and they didnt notice it then? surely they should have noticed it as it was making a horrendous noise even just after the belts etc were changed :/

okay small update, got a new headunit last weekend which has improved my sounds so much! also getting windows tinted next week, still looking out for wheels too...
