Its Henry btw:cool:
 
I sold it because it was terrible. The previous owner that modified it bodged things, nothing worked properly and it needed welding doing on the sills so I cut my losses and sold it on. Having said that it was rediculously quick
 
Haven't updated in a while, I've recently added some dual optics with a HID kit and fog lights, although they could do with a bit of TLC. I am also gonna colour code the fog light surround when i find some screws and clips for them, as the guy I bought them off didn't put all the screws or clips that I need!

as you can see i had to mastik around the edge of the light to get it to stay in place. I might just end up buying them new from FK automotive as they do the dual optic shape, and they are on sale
 
  Rs200
dual optics really do transform the front end, im stuck between keeping my 5 door ph1 1.2, bought it for 300 with 67k mot etc, just resprayed it and got it minted so hoping for 850? if i did sell cos i want 3dr preferably ph2 i just dont think modding a 5 door clio is worth while lol, sell me yours :D
 
  Rs200
where the dual optics easy to install im not a great sparky haha, if there anything like the ph2 rear light swap then happy days :)
 
they weren't the easiest thing to do in the world. I know nothing about electrics but i managed it. Do you have msn or skype? i can help you out if you're thinking about doing it? :)
 
also, don't buy the dual optics off this website, you can get them new for the same price people are selling used ones for on here :) i can give you a website when you give me ur skype or msn :)
 
  Rs200
mate tbh i havent used them things for a good couple of years now ill pm you my number? only means of contact i think seeing as my laptop is slower then my car lol
 
got my FK rear lights and fitted them! look so much better! I think after i've colour coded, im not gonna do anything else with the car but enjoy it until next year when my insurance goes down alot and i can afford to do other things again... I think all im gonna do next year is get coilovers, get a K&N 57i (sounds nice and thats all that matters with me atm, seeing as though im 17 :p), and get some 16" black team dynamics pro race 1.2 :)

Also I sanded down, Plastic primed, and hi-build primed the back quarter of the side strips,to compare before and after the colour code :)

Nooooo the badges are a b**ch to get off! lol well mine where anyway... the rear ones you have to take off boot trim then get your hand through this really awkward gap in the metal to push these pins through which reallllyyyy bloody hurts your hands!

front ones a peice of piss, just get a screwdriver with a cloth on the end and pry it off :)
 
  PH1 1.2s
yeah, and im not sure yet, was thinking either black or yellow, my ph1's silver but ive got gloss black 172's and smoked lights so i reckon the black badges would be a nice touch :)
