Ben_Stevo172 - White Supercharged 172

[nby]

white clio's are stunning fullstop, great progress mate

You don't mess about do you! What colour are the wheels going to be??

Wheels will be gloss black. I thought about red but all my detailing is going to be red and I thought red wheels would look too much. Black wheels will break it up nicely IMO!

^ The r26r pulls it off pretty well with the red wheels. I assume you mean the badges diamond etc will be red?

 

[Bazzon]

Its half way there, i think you could pull of a set of red wheels on your car.

In reply to the suspension Comments below, Have to agree although this car isnt a focussed track car i would have still gone for H & R or something along the same lines.

 

[Slammed172]

Epic, but I wouldn't have skimped on suspension with Raceland coilovers. Do forgive if they arn't Raceland.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

There ya go! Do it!


Without the stripes though!

+1. I was gobsmacked to be honest. All that effort and $$ on all your mods so far and you get the 'cheapest' (to phrase it nicely) suspension on the market

Ben have you thought about putting a red lip on the black wheels? I reckon that'd look awesome.

Cheapest doesn't mean worst!! There's been alot of good write ups on these coilovers, and I have to say I am very impressed with the quality! It's a fast road car and maybe the odd track day so I think these coilovers will suit the car just fine for what I am going to use it for!

Also the only mod that's cost alot is the SC conversion. Respray has cost me £240! Coilovers £170 and alloys I swapped for my old set so they didn't cost much.

See what it looks like with the balc wheels and then i'm sure someone will photoshop the wheels red to see if you like it or not

Well my original plan was red but I like the wheels in black and thought it would break it up nicely! We will see. If I change my mind it doesn't cost alot to get them re-done in red.

My idea is red 2.0 detailing on the bullets, red diamonds (no rear badges) and red dash strips, wheels in gloss black with either a red lip or red stickers on them? Il have a play when I get the wheels back.

I vote red, think it would look unbelievable! Did you pick up another 16 inch Oz F1?

 

[Tobs]

love the white, that clio above looks w**k

 

[the_prophet]

gona look awesome when its done.

 

[Dave..]

Christ, you don't half work fast!

It was blue and fucked a few weeks ago at xscape?!

 

[Mickb]

It's too late now! I'm gunna see how the black looks then Photoshop it when it's all together and if red is the best I will get them re-done. Lol!

No I havnt picked another wheel up yet so I have sent 3 to the powdercoaters and I will have to pop the spare on if I don't get another before the cars back on the road! Do you know anyone edd??

 

[Ellzy]

white car black alloys FTW lol

 

[Addz]

I can't beleive how fast this has changed! Can't wait to see it at the next meet

 

[ForceIndia]

Stunning. Just stunning. Wanna do a ph1 lol.

 

[Nafoff]

awesome mate, the colour change looks well
the red wheels would look good, but i think the drop would have to be spot on

 

[YorkshireDaz]

If you do you wheels red it will look a rip off of RSTunings supercharged PH1.

FLOL at tghe raceland coilovers!! Nice progress though!

Refurbed wheels went back on today and I pulled it out of the garage. Coilovers need adjusting a little bit higher as its a bit too low at the front, back seems fine though. Hopefully the panels will be painted and fitted by next weekend (20th&21st).
Heres a few pics:

 

[T.Trophy]

Nice to see it back on it's wheels mate think you made the right choice with the black wheels.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Looking good

 

[R1XPH]

You planning on fitting bigger brakes to this thing?

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

TBH so do I. Red would look ok but as someone mentioned it would look like a bit of a rip off of Pauls SC ph1! Really chuffed with the paintwork now its out in the sun. Looks absolutly MINT!

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

Eventually yeah.

It looked mint in the garage when I was round so I knew it would look even better once outside.

You've got to be happy with the results

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

Very happy! Just hope the panels look as good

 

[liquid_force]

looks mint bud

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Im hoping my new job will allow me to do something along these lines

Full kudos!! looks so lush

 

[Bazzon]

Looks good, the only problem is you painted over a monaco should have bought a silver one .

 

[adam172]

[chrispy.clio]

It does look amazing Ben. Hurry up and finish it lol

 

[Mickb]
