ArcticBlue 182 Phull Phat
Hi all, I decided to put a few pics up of my recent purchase that has taken over from my old Clio Biarrtiz 1.2 which decided to break its cam belt and chew up the whole of the top half of the engine. As a result started to look around for some replacement cars as I had wanted to get something with a little more oomf than my old car plus I got quoted £550 to replace and fit the broken parts!!:dead:
So looked around various websites until I came across a clio 1.8 rsi 52k miles on clock for £375!! Checked with orginal owner that car was all in working order and that everything worked on car (e/w, pas, electirc sunroof etc.) and he confirmed that it all was and the reason for the low price was that he needed a quick sale.
Next came trip upto Derby to pick the car up and here I am now! I think for the money it was a pretty good bargain and it certainly pulls alot better and is alot quicker than my other clio. Have put up some before and after pics with some ideas for the future to see what everyone would think of what Ive done and what I plan to do in the future.
Before:
After:
Stuff Ive done is taking of Lexarse lights, replaced steering wheel with valver wheel, and replacement of ICE with 2 x 450w mid range speakers, 2 x Legacy 500w AMPs and 1xJVC Subwoofer.
Car has got a bit of damage including dents in driver side door, keyed paintwork across whole of nearside of car :dapprove: , plus had a lady run out infront of my car between two parked cars who I hit leaving a nice dent on the front of the bonnet near the headlight
Ideas in future/progress: Lower car slightly more, removal of scratches dents etc., valver bonnet,valver wings and front bumper plus paint wheels white and then perhaps paint the plastic strips on the side of the car white too? Not sure about the last idea hoping to get some feedback! thanks for looking:approve:
Sorry about phone pics!
