1.2 Dynamique - Nice and Simple!

[Chubbs]

Hi guys/girls, started with a totally standard 1.2 16v Dynamique in Jan 2010 just before my 17th birthday. Since then the car has seen a handful of changes (all aesthetic tbh). I'd like to think I've avoided the chavvy look a lot of teenagers unfortunately go for.

Started by buying 172 wheels and had them resprayed in Newport Grey (Mitsubishi colour) They came out fantastic IMO.

Also painted the brakes yellow...

Lowered the car 40mm on Spax springs, which I know isnt much but just made the car sit right on the wheels.

All fairly simple mods which have made a massive difference. Set of Climair wind-deflectors, wider rear mudflaps (as standard ones didn't cover the new alloys) and a 182 grille. Tinted indicators were a nice touch and complimented the wheels.

Most of the pics are before I put the grille on, but it has made a massive difference!

Currently toying over getting badges painted and changing to slightly shorter number plates.

Thanks for looking and feel free to comment! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/images/smilies/smiley4.gif

Car looks great man. Really like the colour of the alloys against the silver.

Thinking of colour coding your car? What about carbon wrapped badges? Would go nice with the wheels.

Ive got a 1.2 aswell, and I'm looking to do simular stuff. What was the drop like from the 40mm spax springs? Did it close the arch gap?

.......painted the brakes yellow...

You think wrong.

Nice colour choice on your wheels though, look good on a silver car.

i like that.. maybe colour code side strips and both bumpers or maybe spray them Black so they stand out and look newer!!

Looks good

 

[Stenny69]

yeah looking good mate ! ... the colour of your wheels go really well

 

[Chubbs]

Thanks everyone. Thinking about having the plastics sprayed black, mainly because I dont think it would suit colour coding Welcome to ideas for the badges!

Hi Jack, drop was perfect just to close the gap and the ride is still excellent. If i had more money at the time, i would have definitely gone lower with springs and shocks or coilovers.

i think spraying the plastics gloss black would look good mate ... breaks it up a bit ! lol

and you could maby paint the badges the same colour as the wheels ?

Totally agree with the plastics mate, had a look at some badges which had been done by Spray Shack, top notch stuff and thinking of getting a quote of him! Same grey with one thin yellow pin stripe down one edge :approve:

 

[Stenny69]

do it mate ! .. im gonna DIY colour code mine this weekend haha ... love the yellow pinstripe idea .. get some pics up once thats done.

 

[Mister_Lee]

looks awesome that does as it is! I like!

My car is exactly the same as yours mate, except mine doesnt have the lows (yet)

Definately colour code it. Easy to do, just follow the guide. I did my side strips myself. Next for me is spoiler! Also RS grille would tidy it up (also on my list)

 

[Chubbs]

Thanks guys, got a price for the badges so I just need to wait for payday as for the plastics, I'm pretty keen on keeping them black just to go with the wheels. Also Chris.b, set of mudflaps are a must too

Spray the badges yourself. It's not that hard. I'm spraying my interior door and dash strips just now. Easy job. If I can do it, anyone can.

I sprayed the diamonds on my old wheels myself, any recommendations on paint/lacquer etc?

Getting there, going down the right route of non pikey/chavvy mods which is good. If you're wondering what colour coding may look like, well any excuse to throw up a pic of my old 1.2!

That is lush. Exactly what i'm aiming for. Did you colour code the bumpers yourself? If so, how?

I just went for some Halfords own primers, a generic black and laquer. They've come out fine.

Really like that mate! Colour coding suits that front bumper and I like the cut plate! Did you colour code the spoiler? Got priced £80 for that! No thanks
