Hi all!

[@rt]

Hiiii

Im new to this site, and well car forums in general really!

Im 18, recently got a 2003 1.2 16v dynamique billabong, which is now a 182 replica! (would love to get a propper 182 but I just can't afford the insurance!) It is in near perfect condition (after being at my local bodysop for a week and a bit getting some scuffs, scratches, and chips sorted out!)

So here's the list of mods so far:

182 front bumper, wings, skirts.
172 back bumper
lowered 60mm
graphite grey oz 16" alloys
magnex cat back exhaust with 6X4" oval tailpipe
cone filter
2.0 16v door bullet badges (not yet fitted)
pioneer DEH-7000UB head unit
fli front 2ways, jvc rear 2ways
pioneer sub
kenwood amp


Mods on order/booked
172 steering wheel
182 gear knob, pedals, handbreak buttom, door sills.
Window tints

Mods planned in the future
182 front grille

decided not to get the full 182 interior because my seats and door cards match my cars colour which i want to keep

any other clio owners on here in the redditch area?

[Becca]

Welcome!

 

[@rt]

thanks

thinking of spraying the door badges darker to match the wheels, how do you think it would look? i think it might look abit too dark due to the colour of the car...hmmm...not sure!

a photoshop would be nice

 

[@rt]

oh yeah and the colour match of the wings skirts and bumpers looks awefull in the pics! it doesnt look like that at all in the flesh! :S

I think its because the camera had a weird exposure on it when i took the pics, my dad had left it on manual and he had been using it to take pics of sunsets (weirdo) sooo thats why the lighting looks all weird! lol it was actually quite bright when i took them but it looks darkkkk!

 

[Melissa]

thanks

You mean the bullets yeah? Lad on here, NathJ does it, does a top job too. Did my Brother's, i'm getting him to spray my Diamond when i dare take it off to send him Go for graphite, black would look gash IMO

 

[@rt]

yeah the bullets!

oh right sweet!

how much does he charge?

I was thinking graphite anyway, because my wheels are actually graphite its just a dodgy pic!

 

[Melissa]

LOL @ the pics. I thought they looked black, graphite is cool beans.

I honestly do not know how much he charged for the bullets, my bro is Riley! so give him a pm chick

 

[@rt]

Haha yesss pics=fail

Yeah will do, thanks!

 

[scott1205]

did you buy the car like this or did you do it your self

remember seeing one on piston heads that colour and with a non sport grill

 

[LFCJosh]

id get the grill on soon as, standard one is a dead give away, other than the colour
very nice car though mate!
where you from btw?

 

[@rt]

kit was already on it yeah, got it from wakefield.

haha yeah! and the sunroof and the rear brake drums...DOH!

im from redditch! not too far from you...is there ever any clio meets around this area?

 

[Meek_racing]

i got the sunfoor and brakes and mine fools much people the amount of people that has ask is how i have got insured on that thinking its a 2.0

 

[Meek_racing]

Your car reminds me of my old 1.2 Petrol Blue Remove the exhaust and get one semi cut into the bumper!

 

[Dave..]

Christ that exhaust is subtle!

The car looks good though, especially in that colour.

Get an RS grill though. There are loads on eBay, and cost hardly anything

 

[@rt]

awwww I love how my exhaust is hated! lol

i picked that myselffff! i like it personally

although it doesn't look subtle it does sounds subtle , i really like the sound of it!

i do agree it looks abit out of place just hanging below, but i cba to get it cut in

RS grill is top of my list!

 

[LFCJosh]

yeh mate check the local meetings section. look for west mids threads, theres a west mids meet being organized atm.
later in them month probly.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Welcome to the club! Cars looks very good for a replica, as people have said i would leave the bullets and 16v ones to save the haters ripping into you. I reckon a mint set of silver turinis and 182 look a like exhaust would pretty much finish that off!

[Adamhodg]

Brings back memories!
Looks just like my old hybrid!
Mine got written off though after some old bint crashed into it!
