What colour is your car and is it a dynamique?

 

[Rorrie]

colour code as much as poss, then lower, then change wheels IMO

 

[Tom_16v]

Colour code it defo

 

[KDF]

colour code, clear repeaters if it doesnt have them already, silvervision bulbs, alloys, lowered at least 20mm, nice exhaust system..

 

[thestig]

its a black clio Authentique.

 

[rt172]

Definitely lower to sharpen up the handling. Best modification for the money.

 

[thestig]

okey dokey. I was thinking 80 mm drop on 17" Dare v2s what you reckon?

 

[Ben H]

I reckon itll look great but seriously mess up the handling! (not to be confused with grip!).

 

[thestig]

What with 17s and lowerd 80mm, what do you suggest Ben?

[Bryan]

obvious suggestions from me

colour code
lower 60mm
16" wheels (172, or Cup alloys)
pipercross viper
k-tec racing twin 3" exhausts system

there you have a subtle, sensible, half decent performing car

 

[Levo]

I have a black Authentique. Up to now have fitted 16" 172 wheels. Hopefully lowing in the New Year, and smoked repeaters. Then trying to scrape up enough dosh to get it colour coded.

I quite like the subtle mods (especially as mine is a 1.2 8V, dont want it to look like a suped up sport model only to be embarassed at the lights when I get had off by a Fiat 126).

Dont lower a car 80mm!!!

 

[rt172]

Yes, 80mm does seem a bit severe!
