Just over £100s worth of mods to change the look

[Phoenix]

Ph2 Valver alloys....will shortly be refurbed and painted black with a red lip(not copying anyone honestly...as I was going to buy a set of 5 spoke rotas in same colour originally till i fell in love with these)

Next a cheep ebay bargin that will keep me my feet happy (and not slipping off the non rubbered standard pedals)

Also a valver stearing wheel sanded down to reval the nice shiny metal underneath(excuse my brother)

also a valver spoiler although having 2nd thoughs now for this one without the brake light

oh and if i don't get a spoiler though then it will be a laguna splitter

all of which will be going on this little beast of an RSI to change the look.

Any oppinions gladly welcomed; good or bad...

lol...Have a nite out and keep the change! - Car looks decent how it is! The above mods will ruin it.

Change the wheels, they look like casters. That's both types of wheel BTW. The other mods look shat.

As bum love says, have a brew and keep the change.

hi there! x

 

[Phoenix]

chers for input....stearing wheel n wheels are deffinatly going on as there's just no point having a car with an air bag that doesnt work any more. and the wheels will put my speedo back to its factory accuracy just over

 

[cat171]

I'd go for a williams spoiler over that one from potn tbh. Also potn are a bunch of rip off b*stards, don't buy from them.

 

[Martin_172]

id keep the wheels thats on it, i like the side exit exhaust!

i would love a williams spoiler but i can't find any around lol.

except ebay potn have that spoiler advertised cheaper than anywhere lol
but other than that item i generally agree...
they do rip you off a bit

 

[cat171]

Ask matbrown if he has any williams in (he probably does) post in the wanted section on here, post up on williamsclio - try ebay. Loads of options.

i'd love to keep the wheels already on it but as i said...
its putting my speedo out and also adding extra miles onto the mileage that the car isnt actualy doing. only way to keep it correct using those alloys would be to have 175/95 tyres on lol

my old beast

the rims are cool, if anything i would put some fatter tyres on it to fill the arches a lil bit more!

the spoiler.... yukkkk! lol

the valver one on it is sound, if anything i would get if i still owned it would be a new bonnet (get it smoothed), new fog lights and get it some ITB's LOL

 

[mas]

oh, and get some coilovers!

oh hello stranger lol....the bonnet is reparable according to this random spray guy who came past my car a week ago.....so thats gonna be done next month(hopefully) it will be gettin fog lights again as soon as i managed to move the air scoop into the bumper...ITB's?

nice plans except gash spoiler and pedals, 16v wheels will only look good if you fit 195/45 tyres too

not sure a red lip will suit with the blue paint though, i'd be tempted to paint them anthracite or just leave silver. valver front bumper would make a world of difference too.

 

[Phoenix]

i may have come into a bit of money but not enough to buy coilovers lol...and im useless at saving

its black paint:rasp: the tyres will be changed for 195/45s in a couple of months...
if anyone has a valver bumper painted in this colour and will give it me for a tenner delivered or collected i will lol...
there's just so much i want to buy and not enough money to buy it with lol

I thought the cars black ?
-edit, yeah it's black.

 

[gazbenger]

dont ruin samboRTs old car

 

[ClioGav]

theres always black valver bumpers on ebay around 30-40quid

you buy me one then lol.....i should thought of the valver front end conversion first now that i think about it....arse

 

[Phoenix]

and it looks blue cause the paints so shiny

 

[ChrisPearson]

poor car

 

[mas]

clean the inner arches too

 

[Phoenix]

dont ruin samboRTs old car

im ruining it cause as it is now.....it still looks liek samboRTs old car.....when its not.....its mine...lol
so i wanna make it look how i want it....admitadly most of thats done already but oh well lol

 

[Phoenix]

clean the inner arches too

you're such a slave driver lol....

 

[Phoenix]

i think i might put a body kit on it to spite you all lol
joke by the way... lol

 

[mas]

giv it a good clean inside and out, bigger tyres, lower it 30mm more and it will be finito!

 

[Phoenix]

while ur hear...how much is it actually lowered again?

 

[Rage]

Looks like its on 60mm springs on the front?

like the plans phoneix...but not a fan of the gash pedals or spoler...!

 

[Phoenix]

i thought that but then dont forget its on 13inch rims with low profile tyres lol...i think it was 40-55mm i know the gaz shocks are adjustable on front n back

 

[Josh@Renparts]

wasted money imo... Chav pedals, not keen on steering wheel, valver wheels are good but prefer the ones that are on there. Spoiler looks questionable as well.

 

[RichRSi]

I would put a set of well refurb'd turbines on it if I were you, however I'm not saying the idea with the ph2 wheels and red rim won't work. It would be an improovement, I'm not a big fan of the white r5gtt wheels on there at the mo.

the pedals are a bit chavy but i like em except the sport logo thing at the top. stearing wheel is not fitted and looks quite good(just need to find something to fill in the gap where the cover should be) i like the r5gtt alloys to but as i said, its putting my speedo out and mileage up

i wouldnt of minded a set of turbines to be honest but its hard to find a mint set and i couldnt be bothered with having to refurb them..

 

[Phoenix]

today i got the steering wheel fitted nicely (pics up tomorrow) hopefully
also started on refurbing the alloys
spent 3 hours cleaning them(still cant get all the crap off even with sanding) but i got the front cleaned (which is the bit that really needs refurbing) and thats all smoothed now ready to be primed on thursday

 

[kiza1986]

You didnt want to refurb turbines but yor refurbing these alloys anyway??

 

[ClioGav]

i've never done a set of turbines but imagine they are a nightmare to refurb due to all the small gaps
