Welcome to the club.

Its check that your insurance will let you chagne/modify your wheel or suspension?

tinting your windows should cost from £100 - £200 depending on where you go, these are the back 3 windows. side windows are illegal to tint!

Changing filter I'd get a pannel filter as these last longer and offer the same increase as the induction kit. Yet cost half the price.

Re: Advise apreciated

Tinted windows, £110, do it if you like it.

Air filter, get a closed system so you don't get heat soak.

Sack the idea of a bodykit,all bodykits are crap, not even going to look at the one you've suggested.

Clio should go on 16"s max!

Seats for that price can't be very good tbh.

I doubt your insurance will cover those mods, and if you dont declare and you have an accident you can bet they will find a way out of paying up. I wouldnt take the risk in your first year of driving with your first car tbh.

Anything that modifies the enginer or suspension must insurance policies wont cover.

Mate i know it sucks but best advice i can possibly give....and i know it sucks but was given it myself and i am glad i took it...just stick with what you have got. Don't modify it...kepp your nose clean and your car clean till your 21. You will have 3 years ncb..saved a bunch of cash which you can then put into the full beans RS. TBH IMO mods on a 1.2 can just make it harder to sell. Just saying i'm 21 now 3 yrs ncb and got a quote from firect line for a 172 cup in my name fully comp of 700 quid! Trust will be worth the wait! my 2 cents anyways!
good luck!

cheers for advise m8s and ill take it to an extent, but im on my parents name on insurance but the named driver, do you think the insurance company im with will honer my no claims once i get to 21 ? im only paying 450 a year atm.

And what if i just put alloys on and bucket seats to make it look ok ish, then when i get a better clio when im bit older, then transfer the alloys and seats ? and put the old ones back on to sell it.?

Im pretty sure its illegal to be on someone elses policy knowing you will drive it more than the policy holder! its ok to be a named driver and use the vehicle from time to time but less than the policy holder.

My best advice would be to use the money ur spending on a "halfords ram raid" on your own insurance policy, that way you get your own NCB, ive always had high insurance group vehicles and would rather spend the money on insuring a fast car than trying to make a slow car "look" faster and you earn NCB meaning im now 22 and paying peanuts (£500 FC) on a williams
