Bodykits?

[AnthNufc]

First thread so by nice :clown:

I currently own a standard clio 02 1.2 on alloys. but im looking at a bodykits but dont wanna be labled a chav or w/e, I like the sporty looking bodykits would you ....

a) put up with the stereotyping because you like the bodykit

b) say feck it and stick with standard

I know alot of people on here are gonna say B as I see alot of people like the orginal type bodykits and standard clean look but more interested in the people that choose A.

Cheers guys

Either RS replica it, or save your cash for a better model in time would be my opinion!

 

[Renault_Boy01]

rs replica kit or nothing IMO :approve:

welcome to the site BTW

No kit. A small car, lowered on the right wheels will look the pooch's plums without a kit.

 

[AlexG]

please dont

Do some subtle body mods/custom work rather than an off the shelf body kit, would look more original than boy racer

 

[Chrisjk]

Do what you want to do, its your car so if you like the big kits or the subtle ones its your choice.

end of the day do what will make you happiest - lots of people go down the 172/182 replica route

[theduck]

Stop wasting any more money on modifying your 1.2's. You will end up like me, With a worthless show car that was good at the time.

I only started small too, With some alloys but 5 figures and 2 years later, I sold my "show car" for a considerable amount less than a standard one.

I know I went ott, but i started as you all did and it escalated.

I could be in an M3 or an Evo now @ 21 years old and STILL have more money left over at the end of the month than I do now. Instead I have no savings (compared to what i would have had) and an 05 Clio Dynamique.

It seems a good idea at the time. But it really isnt

 

[will.clio!]

Im finished adding stuff to this car now, styling done lol, i have kept the front and rear bumper and i still have the old 15inch reno alloys, so when its time to sell up i can quite easily make it back to standard, and throw the body kit on ebay

I wasnt after a show car look just a body kit like will's car, So what bodykit is that will and how much that set you back mate?

 

[StevenMc29]

there was a nice grey clio on here iirc that had quite a subtle bodykit but looked very good, not sure of his name but maybe someone will know and point you in the direction of him

Its a 'Mohave' front and rear bumper and 'Type 2'skirts, the whole kit was special offer from www.imexdesigns.co.uk paid about 500quid for the kit and it sat in my garage for a good month while i was trying to pass my driving test, then i paid about 650 to have it all fitted and painted. Im really happy now with how the car looks but im skint till i get paid again lol
