1.2 Mk1 clio

[Doug94]

Hi there, ive ony just passed my test and manged to get my self a little 1.2 mk1 for £100. its not a bad little run around. Im looking to go down the euro route with it. this will be my first car that ill modify so im gunna try and keep it as cheap as possible. i havent done much to it atm due to money being an issue as all of it went towards my insurance. when i get paid next month the mods will start to happen.

what i want to do to the car in order-
1) lower it, 60mm?
2) new wheels, maybe banded steelies, borbet a, ats classics or cups, (havent made my mind up yet so would like to hear peoples opinions)
3)smooth the front bumper, bonnet and boot
4)a new exhaust nothing to loud, was thinking a williams clio exhaust if it will fit? if anyone could give me the heads up with that i would appreciate it.
5)look into the engine to see if i can give it a little extra boost. any ideas would be helpful.

if you can think of anything else i could do, it would be a big help.

also as im new to this forum buisness im not sure how to upload photos so if someone could point me in the right direction, thanks.

Look's like a fairly good little project mate. The only thing which would stop me from spending any money on it, is the fact you only paid £100 for it. Any upgrades/MOD's you buy will easily be worth more than the car. And with the age and mileage, are you planning to keep it long?

Apart from that, for it's age it looks mint
