Few photos of the Mrs' new car

[vroomtshh]

My girlfriend has been taking lessons for a while and we decided it was time for her to get a car.

What better first car than a Clio DCi

Spent 5 hours or so on saturday cleaning up the outside, once all the green was removed it came up pretty well.

Has a few wee niggles to sort out, but all in its a pretty decent wee car

Did it come with the turinis or did you add those?

Looks great, but I don't like the painted mirror bases

It came with them. Was pretty much the reason we chose it over a few others we looked at though. They're badly in need of a refurb.

Me either, they'll be getting changed very soon

Very nice indeed .

Are you going to lower it slightly so the wheels look a little less lost?

Sport interior next perhaps?

A touch of lowering, sport grill, refurbed wheels, new steering wheel, and then maybe a different interior

She's already told me I've not to do too much to it :lolup:

Tell her to mind her own business and just crack on with it, lol

I'll second that, fantastic first car - small, easy to drive/park.

Thanks folks.

Last night it got a new aux belt and tensioner (was squaling like a pig), and It got a windscreen washer pump (who removes that and doesn;t replace it?)

Tracking to get done at the weekend and then hopefully I can get on with the fun jobs of needlessly changing parts

Car looks great, but think I preferred the wheels in the original colour.
