Ever since being a little kid, I've always absolutely loved Clios, always been a fan of them and always will be. So I turned 17, passed my test and set out to buy a Clio. I wanted a Black 1.2 Ph3 Dynamique or something similar. Bearing in mind I didn't have a job, was still in school and didn't have rich parents, this was a pretty hard task to do. My original plans were to buy the car in March and sell it in September when I went to university. Cut a long story short, I bought it in March, went to university and didn't sell it, so I've now had it for over a year and plan to keep it for a few more years while I'm at university seeing as I leave it at home.
I've done a bunch of small things since I've already had it for a year but the nice stuff begins as of now that I have decided to keep it.
Here it is when I first bought it, the bodywork isn't great and neither is almost anything with this car but I was desperate for a car, and at the end of the day it was going to be sold, so I couldn't give many s**ts, it was a clio and was all i wanted.
The bumper trims were grey, there was a color mismatch on the rear but I wanted a car so badly I couldn't even wait to find a better one...
The previous owner must have thought it's a good idea to put house speakers in and wire them to the head unit, so I put new speakers in all round and a subwoofer, also a new parcel shelf as he had ridiculously big holes for them house speakers.
Got a bit excited and put this air filter in, which did make it sound nice, but my cat messed up not too long after putting it in so i took it off, i was pissed.
Put white headlights, interior lights, footwell lights and what not.
This was a regular occurrence until I got a new battery...
Didn't have many plans for the car apart from selling it so weren't going to spend any money on it at all, this is what it looked like in September when I left for uni and left it at home.
Ok so what is above is basically until now, that's what it looks like now, but from now on it will start changing.
I've just done front and rear brakes, oil, filters, wipers, new dogbone mount and number plates to pass MOT next week.
Mods that I will be most likely doing:
- Lowering 60/40 on springs and shocks
- Completely refurbishing the wheels and painting them white
- 16mm spacers all round
- Color coding the bumpers and/or side trims
- Buying new front bumper and maybe fogs as the current one is f**ked.
- Debade and desticker
- HID Conversion
This is sort of what I'm looking for:
