Flamer Mods

[FlameR]

Made a fair few subtle mods on the flamer since I first got it in feb

The early days




After the following mods (in order of whe I got them):

Lowered 25mm at the front 15mm at the rear
Removed Renault sticker from back window
BMC CDA
Black and titanium side badges
Silvervisions
Black front badge
Carbon Fibre Splitter
GDI Exhuast
CAF for BMC CDA
Removed acoustic valve
Shorter aerial
Cup Spoiler
Bosch wipers





Also gradually attempting to improve make the paintwork nicer by washing it properly, using megs gold class, autoglym SRP, poorboys SRR 2.5 with a PC, megs syn sealant, dodo juice wax. imho the only thing letter it down now is the wheels, so I'm getting some 17" turinis with toyo tyres within the next month as well so I will post some more piccies then

Can someone let me know how to post the pics full size (600x400) instead of stupid little 150x150 pics you need to click on to enlarge.

comments welcome

Cheers

Aye I'm taking the hillpower sticker off soon, I want a smaller www.cliosport.net one but don't know where to get one?

The wheels are sh1t, I just never had enough money to get some new ones on an apprentice wage. But now I'm earning proper cash I can buy the one's I want!!

Looking forward to seeing it again when you have got the wheels you want on it.

I got TeZ to do a photoshop with it slammed on its ass on coilies, tinted rear windows and 17" turinis (look more like 18's in this pic though)

 

[MOFO]

looks ok but dont go 17's, 16's highest id say. also try then in white.

 

[JR]

Possibly forget the tints, unless you got light smoke all round.

If you had a better shop done i think it would give you a more realistic goal.

The height imo should be so the tyre has about an inch between the car and itself.

However i have no idea what the ride would be like.

 

[FlameR]

I quite like the current ride height tbh. I'd only invest in coilovers if I used it on the track, but the set up is fine at the mo for the roads I use!! Not bothering with tints either.

Best colour 172 by miles

Might do my front badge black after seeing that looks very good. my 2.0 16v door badges are in quite poor condition but im not sure what to do with them.

I agree the wheels are poo but some numpty will take them off ur hands

Don't mean to sound a dumbass, but wtf is an acoustic valve? Is it something on the airbox?

 

[FlameR]

It just reduces air intake noise to comply by european noise regulations. Its connected to the airbox, it's inside the arch liner of the nearside whel, behind the fog light!!
