FIRST CAR CLIO mk2

[jimkg]

Well i recently passed my test and bought myself this clio.

came completly standard, faded, so i colour restored the whole carr and cleaned the engine.

i got some free lexus lights off a mate, and gonner get them tinted.

As im a student i have no moneyyy D:
so i painted my steelies red and put black trims over untill i get some alloys ! ;/

next came a new sound system, new tweeters, rear speakers + 6x9's and a sub. and some tacky underseat and dash lighting haha

ive recently come into some money so i can start getting this car up to scratch so any suggestions are welcome!

thankks.

Not personally a fan of the Lexus Lights or neon.

Looks very tidy though. Maybe colour coding and some OZ F1s?

 

[JohnOR]

get standard rear lights mate will look alot better, and could deffs be doing with a colour code, looking good tho

 

[Alastair.]

if it was mine, proper clean up detailing session, ph2 rear lights, lowerd 60mm, o.z f1s, then leave it alone and just keep it clean.

I've got the same model and colour as yours mate, colour coding has done a world of difference for me! and as Ali said, Ph2 rear lights, Im on coilovers and dual optic headlights look good.

definately this. get rid of those lexus lights and that rediculous neon light that I can only presume someone paid you to put in your car.

I'd get some fog lights on this too.

Im the first to say the lexus lights look awfull haha, cba going down the tinting route.

got standard lights on it now, rear colour coded bumper coming soon, but struggling to find a front bumper so might just spray the black one.

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Colour coded mirrors too makes a big difference!

 

[danzel]

lose the lexus lights def!!!

 

[Scott™]

Not a bad first car mate. Ive seen alot worse. If i was you get some 172 alloys, loose the lex arse lights and drop her some.

 

[Scott™]

And get some tyre shine on those tyres and clean under your sills lol.

 

[jimkg]

LEXUS LIGHTS HAVE GONE! got standard mk2 ph1 lights on.
colour colded rear bumper has come now so will fit that tomrorow.

er things to come soon..

- full body colour coding

- sport interior
- clio alloys

ON THE HUNT FOR THE INTERIOR AND ALLOYS.. ;]

[jimkg]

well i havent really done much, just sprayed my badges black (H)

 

[clio-ant]

looks nice with black badges could do with a good clean though lol

 

[jimkg]

cheerss, ah tell me about it, only cleaned it the other day, live in the middle of nowhere so it just gets dirty straight away :/

 

[clio-ant]

ahh needs mud flaps but they look gaaay lol im thinking pressed plates on this aswell

 

[jimkg]

yeah i know :/ but tbh if they make a difference might be worth it, better than the car looking filthy haha
yeah defo! there quite far down on my list though

 

[Dannyeff]

nice 1st car looks tidy. good luck with modding and remeber have fun

 

[jimkg]

right, been a while since i have upddated this project thread, if you can call it a project.

first of all i had a bash at tinting my own windows this tbf was abit of a disaster the rear window was impossible for me and im not happy with the 2 sides so im gonner get them done professionally and darker.

i have added a pipercross induction kit, which makes a huge difference to this car from my point of view ^^

the biggest thing of all is of course my new alloys, DOTZ shurikens, with 4 brand new proxies.

still more too come and welcome suggestions ;D

Don't tint the Windows! And not a fan of those wheels really. Other than that it's tidy!
