since when did bits fall off. last time i heard is filler/caty only fall off when you had an accident

 

[mark_clio2]

lol jst kidding mate, u know ppl on here arnt guna like it

 

[rustybolt]

I can appreciate the effort but its not my cup of tea and looks like a money pit...

 

[Mickb]

i know... but like said last time, ive done all work myself. and yes i could have bought 172 etc but why would i fill a sport up with audio... its a performance car. 1.6 isnt. mine more about show than go.

 

[Mickb]

I can appreciate the effort but its not my cup of tea and looks like a money pit...

money pit. thats a new 1. whats the difference with spending on audio etc to performance?

 

[rustybolt]

more like it wont go with all that weight!

What colour is it going to be?

Car twists, filler cracks, water ingress, mushy filler, bit of car falls off.

Hats off to you for doing this, I just dont 'get' kitted cars.

Nothing but your pouring money into something that you will never get back.

If you were sponsered by an audio brand or shop then fair enough throwing all that money into it but my guess is youll get bored after a year or 2 and lose thousands of pounds and wont be able to sell it easily if at all.

Indeed, start throwing that round corners and the filler on the roof especially will crack in no time. One of my mates had a modified corsa a few years ago, had to have the roof resprayed three times, rofl

this is supposed 2 be a site run by clio enthusiasts for clio enthusiasts from wer am sitting it certainly isnt..

each to their own i say..

sold they euro lights btw russ!!

 

[mark_clio2]

if he was going to get bored of it why would he got to all the hasle he has. who's to say he wouldnt get bored of a clio sport?

 

[rustybolt]

We are enthusiasts Gaz just cant understand some people who pour £1000s and £1000s into something which really isnt that good really.

I can appreciate all the time and effort so fair play to the lad for that.

 

[mattupson]

clio_on_19s off Night Riders?

How you doing

 

[Mickb]

sponsored by matrix audio design/rayvern . as for money, you never get back what you pay for modded car tho. i knew this when i started. its a hobby. will more, just not fast.

yeah filler etc will crack in time. but wen that happens will change a bit.

oh russ not 100% on colour as yet

 

[rustybolt]

if he was going to get bored of it why would he got to all the hasle he has. who's to say he wouldnt get bored of a clio sport?

So you've £20k + in a car that you cant drive every day, you cant leave parked anywhere, you cant take passengers in and you cant sell etc, you work it out...

 

[Mickb]

ryt matt.

car not built for throwing into corners. if it was i wouldnt have gone n got air suspension. n spent 5k on audio

it might not be that good to you mate but it will appeal to others, as we always keep saying each to thier own

russ i know amount spent is prob not what you lot would do. but if i was to sell. it would be stripped. as any moddified car does niot make your money back. every 1 knows that. also by doing the work my self i save more than most people who kit cars. that is the difference

 

[rustybolt]

ive spent £1000s before on a couple of show cars so i know.

Ill be interested to hear the sound system tho, i love my audio..

Colour will be a hard one tho..

doing audio / body side things is just hobby / past time. and a expensive 1 at that. which i know well before i started. audio if got 1st time would have been cheaper.

yeah colour / wheels that going on will make or break whole car. removed front end becoause i didnt think it went. and it was also temp at the time

 

[Mickb]

gone tad bit over borad on what is really needed but was alos to make look good. well to me.

system will consist of

4 big batterys plus yellow top upfront.
got 175 amp alternator. going to get bigger 1. or run 2.
9-10 amps
6 subs in 20-22 cuft box
6set comps.
loads deadening
loads lovely 0gauge.
couple screens

 

[mark_clio2]

no point in justifying mate, u shouldnt have to

 

[rustybolt]

The blue from the RS Focus is a shade i like (Imperial Blue i think?)

Those candy paints and flips look poor i think and cost far too much.

Wheels want a nice dish on them to fill the arches properly.
