Have you basically bought an RS Clio because it's a pretty colour then?? From what I can gather you don't like to give it some abuse?

Stickerz and Failz
My wonky yellow CS URL sticker was bugging me, so I ordered another one. /OCD
Detail After - Photoshoot With Feirny by Harpham y0, on Flickr
Gone with the OEM standardy CS sticker look
...
/Dirty shed but straight sticker
Also failed today. I thought that I would actually attempt to fit something myself on the car. That didn't happen. I've had the K-tec stealth sat in my garage since January now, so thought id give it a go and fit all the new mounts whilst I was at it.
Cat-Centre bolts we're just trying to round off, so I feel the need for some fire...
Ill be getting it booked in tomorrow at my local exhaust place to fit it for me and to finally sort out the tracking too. Ill then sort out the exhaust mounts myself.
I've been rolling with this exhaust for too long now. LOL
I also had a blast (probably my first proper one in the Sunflower, now that i'm confident that it's not going to totally fall apart on me) last night on my way home from work. The roads from Buxton to Nottingham are great fun, until a "30mph w**ker" is sat in front of you lol.

Will clean the rear up loads with the stealth fitted dude
This is why I need Gray Motorsport.
Going to sort it at ETS tomorrow. Let the "professionals" sort it.
LY 220 Trophy+IB PH1
Which Stealth did you get fella, I've got the silenced centre and my god it's fking boomy on the motorway
LY 220 Trophy+IB PH1
Can't believe you still haven't fitted that exhaust LOL!

They are two words that should NEVER be used in the same sentence. LOL
Only just gained the motivation to rip that shitty Scorpion system off LOL. Fed up of seeing it hang off the rear of the car.
Hence the "inverted commas". :rasp:
Back to being flaccid
Just had the Scorpion system removed (finally!!) and replaced with the stealth. Also had the tracking done whilst I was at it. Car drives, feels, sound 19824893279423979x better. The exhaust is much quieter, but also has a nice tone when gunning it, and a massive bonus is that the car now drives in a straight line. BOOM!!
Tracking was only a little bit out...
Haiii flaccid.
Plan to get new plates ordered soon.

So much better!!!
Knowsit.
I'm not cleaning it for a while now. Have hardly any detailing stuff left, so I want to wait until I have the money to buy all the bits I need. I also want to see how dirty it gets on my commute to Buxton, as they are properly dirty back roads.
No, if I do that, it'll leave water marks all over the windows. I want to see how dirty it gets anyway.
My Polish friends will charge me £5 though.
Just ordered a present (or two) for the 'flower.
Was thinking about this today too, to get the car how I want it aesthetically, I still have the following to do:
- Respray Cup Spoiler + fit
- New/clean number plates
- Wheel refurb
- Polarised bolts
- Paint 2.0 bullet inserts yellow
- Paint the interior door grab things, as they're very grubby
- Paint calipers black
- Add Yorkshire CS sticker (still sat in my room - waiting for the Cup Spoiler, as it comes down lower than the standard)
- Detail the f**k out of it
I also want to sort new front discs/pads out at some point. They're still good, but just want to have new on.
All in all though, to get it looking how I want (minus the detailing gear), it should cost <£300. Only real massive expenditure will be the wheel refurb. Hopefully can find some place real cheap.
I'm really starting to become attached to this one, even though i'm doing a silly amount of mileage now. I get so many funny looks (although I guess that's just me)!

New Plates & Update
On Wednesday my new number plates arrived, thanks to Fancyplates. Every single screw was rusted to high hell, so we had to drill them out. Great success.
16/3/12 New Plates - Rusty Bolts, Very Fun by Harpham y0, on Flickr

Car is absolutely ditched at the moment:

Won't be cleaning it until next weekend (as I should have my Cup Spoiler back by then). Filthy though.
Done:

I love 3/4 plates on the Ph1's. Makes the front end look soo much meaner. I wanted to go smaller, but I don't want to take the piss too much with it lol. I think i'm lucky to not get away with it, as it is tbh.
Oh and you eagle eyed viewers will spot another new addition too. Need to add to the "Girl's Car" look. /heyboiiizzzz
So, as mentioned, the Cup Spoiler will be picked up next week, so an update should be coming next weekend, after fitting and cleaning it.

Also in the process of contesting this:
Got the pleasure of this parking fine at my workplace. My staff permit wasn't visible, so the warden decided it would be good to ticket my car. b*****d. So, i've had to fart around this week with contesting the fine. Knowing my luck, this'll be the time that they don't get rid of a fine for a member of staff.

Nice how the parking ticket matches the car.
Cup Spoiler and Yorkshire CS
Finally picked up my Cup Spoiler from the bodyshop, so got that fitted straight away. Now that the spoiler is fitted, I have now finally fitted my Yorkshire ClioSport sticker too. Boom.
Colour match isn't 100%, but for £30 and the fact that the colour is a ballache to get perfect, i'm not complaining. I only notice because i'm mega anal.
Quick iPhone photos:
Ill be giving it a clean tomorrow and then go out for some half decent photos.
Also, I don't know whether anyone can offer any advice, but the centre section of my exhaust is hanging ridiculously low. I cant even get it down the drive. New exhaust mounts we're fitted when the system was put on. I had it adjusted at the garage where I had it fitted, which did raise it up, but it's still sitting low and scraping on the drive. The rear section is fine and not hanging too low.
Id appreciate any help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chocolate Orange 172
Looks good, love that colour yellow! Have you tried the socket mod? I am guessing they hang in the same place on the PH1 as they do on the PH2??
Oi polish, where's my Yorkshire sticker?

The colour match wont be perfect when compared to the swirl bus.
Looking good now though.

That won't help, as that is for the rear section. I need the centre section to be lifted up somehow. The back box is almost as high as it'll go anyway.
You haven't picked it up yet. You owe me for a month's storage.
Trying to charge me storage to pay for your parking fines? Shocking.
£35 storage fee should cover it nicely. :rasp:
So much better with that exhaust off mate, I'm liking the 3/4 plate on the front too good addition
Hope your going to take another good picture of mine at the FCS, the one you took last yr is the best one I have :approve:
