Did you have the plate as well?



Mat.

 

[Peperami]

Looks mint mate! Putting your dark wheels on it?

Carbon front splitter and the coilies and that'll look fantastic!

 

[edde]

Matt old company car isn't it?
Looks good

 

[Thomss]

Very nice dude.

 

[christurbo]

Yes, its Matts Co Car.

He's a gay for putting the tow bar on though - Will be a biatch to get off tomorrow!

The plates are worth over £2.5k so I didnt but it! It has to stay on until it gets transfered though

This is going to be my little track ****!

 

[john.med]

not a cup is it? (with headlight washers)

 

[dannyboy172]

Nice mate, will look spot on with the satan black turinis

Change that front grill tho!

 

[christurbo]

Im not too concerned with cosmetic mods yet... but once everything is sorted I will change the grille, maybe get a splitter, and new CF bonnet [as it has a dent] etc.

Yes the Satin Black Turini's will be going on it soon.

I will then refurb the current turini's Anthracite.

Thanks for the replies.

Full progress will be here:-

Nope its a crash repaired Mk2 2 Matt put the Cup spolier and wheels on.

He's a gay for putting the tow bar on though - Will be a biatch to get off tomorrow!

He should have know better about the legality of that as well.

 

[christurbo]

Edde I agree.... I know there are implications!

It looks very well bolted on - I am going to take the rear bumper off tomorrow to see if I can get better access.

Since when has matt cared about the law... lol

Good point

christurbo - if matts done it it will be a good job he could have just used the proper Clio kit since it fits then again he might have made something up.

 

[Maz]

Whats happening with the plate ?? how much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking Chris ??

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good, but i'm not to keen on the silver grill.

 

[christurbo]

Good point

christurbo - if matts done it it will be a good job he could have just used the proper Clio kit since it fits then again he might have made something up.

I have had a look from under the car and it seems to be bolted in to the rear subframe.

The drivers side had 4 big bolts in a square formation, the exhaust side is more tricky hence the bumper coming off.

I cant really ask Matt how he put it on as he is on his hols now! lol


Do I need to jack the car up and take the wheels off to take the bumper off?

Thanks

Chris

 

[Ad]

no need to take the wheels.

 

[christurbo]

Thanks Ad - all done now though!

[hoggaz]

Good job on the wheels!

 

[christurbo]

Thanks Hoggaz

Fred - thats my favourite ride [well the better half!!!]

 

[klmillard]

looks smart. not sure if i like the grill or not

 

[christurbo]

I might go grille/less TBH.

 

[Brasseye]

good choice........ lovely colour too

 

[Ad]

Love the blog its a great idea.

 

[christurbo]

Thanks.

I thought it up after finishing off the VX... Loads of people were asking me loads of questions on how to do stuff etc..

So I though this would be informative for anyone else who is interested in changing/buying a Clio 172.

I could never do it without this place though.

 

[christurbo]

Doh! double post!

 

[edde]

I could never do it without this place though.

I bet you would might just take a bit more time and effort though.

 

[christurbo]

Edde - you and others have been a wealth of knowledge to me so far!

 

[GarethM]

very nice fella
