I am unable to hold it in any longer so i thought i had best start my project thread.
Ive always taken a keen interest in cars and seen as though this is my first car i knew i wasnt going to be able to get anything fast performance wise as insurance would charge me a bomb. The plan was just just to get something small and economical, not to mod it in anyway, just to build up my no claims for a couple of years until insurance would allow me to get something quicker.
So after passing my test oct 2009 i started looking for a car and found a 57 plate clio campus with 1 previous lady owner and 19,000miles on the clock, in sort of a bluey grey sort of colour. However as soon as got it i instantly knew that i was going to get bored of a standard car. I knew i wouldnt be able to much, infact anything performance wise so pretty much all the mods i planned to do would be for looks/handling
I then decided i wanted to make a 172 rep but with anthracite wheels, which closely match the colour of my car. I have yet to get any pics but it is so close to been finished and am just waiting on wheel spacers that are taking weeks from Germany
Plans
- enitre sport bodykit, front and rear bumper, wings, and skirts and new bootlid to get rid of the hideous campus back end
- 182 athracite wheels
- lower on PI 40mm springs
- wheels spaced 25mm front and 10mm at the back
- k tec stealth exhaust
- BMC CDA air filter
So sat in the shed at home i have the wheels and the body kit sprayed up, the lowering springs and im just waiting to recieve my spacers, as i refuse to put the kit on without them
Will keep this updated as it shouldnt be long till its completed now, in the mean time the only pic i do have is of the front and rear bumper, but will give you an idea of what it will look like
Sorry if ive put you to sleep with such a boring post but it had to be done, i know its not going to be to everyones taste, and you may ask why waste your money but its something i love doing and try getting insurance on anything more than a 1,4 when your 17
