Some good, and not so good examples in here... Useful starting point at least and 105 odd pages should keep you busy.

Btw, dont get a dump valve lol ....or a sport badge

 

[SC03OTT]

The sun strip, sport badge, decals, HIDs, 'viper' stripes and black alloys are the ones that I'm really not a fan of. I prefer subtle mods to just enhance the look of the standard car. But that's just me.

​It is a turbo...

It's a 1.5 dci, just accept that it'll never be sporty. Don't try and make it into something it isn't; adding sport badges to it isn't fooling anyone and they look silly unless they're on an actual Renault Sport.

Times change actually, start on the last page and work back.

Firstly try to use full stops and commas.

You've got a good car for your first car, very economic engine but make sure you've got a couple quid spare in the bank because if the engine goes wrong it can be quite expensive.

Get yourself onto www.cliodci.net.

Here what my finished dCi project turned out like:

Don't spend and waste loads of money on your first car.
Make it look smart and neat, with modification you can sell on when you move onto something bigger and better.

The only things you should be doing to your 1.5 dci if you want it to remain tasteful are: Lower it, fit nice alloys, colour code various trim and fit RS bumpers / skirts / spoiler.

Fitting RS badges is a big no-no, especially if the rest of the car is lacking RS parts.

my old dci130!

Fit a FMIC, Raise the boost and get it mapped and it will be a total hoot to drive.

Welcome mate, advise I can give is don't bother with the stripes and tints etc, put your money into a nice set of wheels (15 or 16 inch) and lower it - it will improve the looks and handling and will be easily reversible when you come to sell the car

what michael said, altho if its a 65, make sure you be more carfull as to what you mod the engine with. it comes with no intercooler stock, and has the basic injectors and a not soo boost happy turbo.

dci 80's have coolers and better injectors and a better turbo
dci 100's have the best of all + stronger internals to handle the added fuel and boost ratio's.

i would add an EGR bypass to that aswell, fuking things are usless!

any ideas where i can get sum RS bumpers skirts and spoilers
