first taste of french (172 project)

Had a 1.6 corsa for a couple of years, its problems caused me to sell it and decided to get a proper hot hatch

Had it for ages now and finally got it to a respectable standard

Well, as it's a project thread. Any WIP pics?
Smart corsa.

I had a corsa like that for a while it was like a go kart. I loved it for the short time i had it.

What is holding your rims together?

 

[M055360]

pics will be up soon, i know fake splits (not very good ones at that) couldn't afford bbs lm's. would love them on the clio tho

 

[M055360]

finally gave the car a clean and took some photo's

wow i was about to give you the scarborough warning that when you take that KTR sticker off the back you will notice some holes fron the clio badge but i was easily mistaken, looks like a good buy there mate and under millage too, looks good

 

[M055360]

*little update*
badge is painted gloss black as well as the side bullets and the headlights have been given the lamin-x gunsmoke treatment

 

[Camble]

Looks really nice but I'm not sure on those tinted headlights matey :|

 

[Craig.M]

nice that, but those headlights are just asking for trouble tho

 

[Dave..]

LOL at tinting headlights, surely that just defeats the object?

 

[M055360]

yeah was thinking its too dark to suit the car, but police have walked past many times at the petrol station and have said nothing. light output isn't affected really lets 90% of light through.

lamin-x do a light smoke may get another roll of film

 

[Dave..]

But why would you want less light from your headlights? That's like preferring to drive around wearing eye patches
