How does this look for a first car?

[renclio]

Hi just thought i would post some pics of my first car. This was after a night of cleaning. Would say it is looking very shiny, and is looking not bad for a first car. What you think?

Cheers
Callum

its looks Very nice for a first car. well done!

 

[renclio]

Thanks any idea what i should do next just to finish it off?

 

[MillerLight]

Think its looks good as it is. TBH

 

[renclio]

Thanks when i am a bit older i will get a 172 just can't afford it the now.

 

[Johnc172]

Very nice mate, as said above looks good as it is!

 

[Ben.]

very nice frist car mate....looks very tidy

 

[-Leigh-]

Very nice. Just leave it as it is, and save the money for a few years time when you can afford to insure a 182/197.

 

[renclio]

I think it would look better if i had some 172 headlights but they are really hard to get hold of.

 

[renclio]

Could anybody help me with something?

 

[Nigel]

Looks very nice and tidy! I'd leave it as it is for now. then when your insurance has come down in a couple of years time then blow the cash you'll have saved on a newer better car!

They are fitted to the MTV, the 16v, the S, Si and RSi.

However, they are a different wiring loom. Though you are in luck. K-Tec sell something very similiar: http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1410

Black would look best on that car though: http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1559

I think that would make it look stunning.

looking pretty tidy - nice first car

 

[Josh220]

very nice first car, like the look of those black ktec headlights too

 

[renclio]

I was thinking about about the phase 2 bump strips but i just i have no idea how to get them on? I like the look of those headlights, not cheap though.

 

[Goders172]

Looks Nice mate-very tidy wish my car looked like that.

Keep it as it is dont go OTT with and keep saving for th 172/182

 

[renclio]

Yea i wish i had one, my car is soooooooooooo slow.

 

[Goders172]

/\/\/\/\ You will get there just keep saving i started off with a 1.1 metro city that actually re-defined the meaning of slow.

I wasted shed loads modding Rover 1.4s, 205s etc. Could have had my 172 years ago if id have saved better.

Its difficult but hang on in there its so rewarding when you finally get it.

 

[renclio]

Yea i know it will be worth it in the end, the last thing i am going to do to my car is get a sound system.

You can wire them in using the existing wiring - I did (although it was bloody years ago)

I'd get the black ktec lights ordered asap.. Looking good

 

[olliewebbuk]

Remember that 1.2 DIET engine is poo. But just keep the gears low and the rev's high. Drive it like a 2-stroke. LOL!

 

[renclio]

too expensive at the moment.

If that's too pricey these are a nice addition: http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1999

Looking good mate, haven't spotted you yet but only a matter of time!

The douple optics would be a nice mod but I've heard they are a barsteward to fit so didn't bother when I had my Clio. Other thing you could fit is a 172 spoiler, look on ebay! Easy to fit

 

[olliewebbuk]

Also, be careful with the Grande. Mine had crazy-light steering, leading to me putting it upside down. Ah well, I hated mine.

 

[renclio]

Yea am sure i will spot you around west calder kenny and also, yea the steering is light but i have got used to it now. The next thing i want to get is a sound system but i really don't want to spend hundreds just something that gives out a decent sound any ideas?

 

[GarethM]

very nice fella

 

[Giles]

nice

 

[Mark5290]

Those wheels look really good on that car, what wheels are they?.

Dont go weighing it down with big subs. Get a decent set of 300watt 3way 6x9s (Jbl, Infinity or similar) Mounted in a solid shelf and amped through a decent 4-500 amp.

Dont buy a sh*tty make of amp with 3000watts quality is definately better than quantity when it comes to power amps. Top it off with a decent head-unit. (Pioneer, Alpine Etc.)

Looks very nice, especially for a first car

 

[cat171]

Just what i was going to say.

I'd put the standard mirrors back on it though. I don't like M3 ones.

 

[redclio60mm]

If you want cheap lights tint your original lights with light tinting spray only cost about 10 pounds and then polish them to make them look shiny did it on mine and i have never been puleld for that anyway!

!

 

[redclio60mm]

If you want cheap rear lights why not try tiniting them with light tinting spray and then polishing them afterwars, looks good i have done it on mine and never been pulled.

 

[Mikey]

nah, thats chav ^^

looks good for a first car that renclio, congrats

 

[Geddes]

Not bad at all for your first car, just save up and you'll be fine

 

[RichRSi]

Great little car, good shine to the paint. The wheels are quite nice, I like the herring bone brick drive aswell.

 

[BREMBO]

Glad you got the rear lights sorted out mate, car looks very neat.

 

[renclio]

The wheels are tsw pace i really like them, i think i am just going to get a decent sub and amp and component speakers etc don't like it standard but thanks for all your comments i would say its not bad compared to some first cars.
