Mili-spec mk1 clio. (pic heavy)

[59jury]

Hi all, i'm new to this forum and think it's only fair to show you my wheels.
Passed my driving test in january but didn't get the car till march..Picked it up for £250 looking like this.

Within 3 hours of buying it i let a friend park it and he managed to run the drivers rear quarter panel into the side of a classroom..as i'm doing vehicle bodywork and paint in college i soon had it out.

and as it was going to need re-spraying i decided to rid it off all rust and dents as well as flushing the boot, de-badging it and removing the plastic side strips.

After discovering the original bonnet was to stretched to not be dented i soon picked up a new one before painting it.

Whilst doing all this work i was pondering which look i wanted to get with the car, i settled on the mili-spec look as it was very different to the typical boy racer in my local area.

I then spent an afternoon putting it all back together.

and got some pic's with a good friends project.

After all of that work i still hadent driven it and just my luck,the mot had ran out...a rather large bill later i was on the road.

I then re-trimmed the parcel shelf.

I then gave it a name to go with the look...

And no it's not spelt wrong it's an abreviation of my name (matt jury)
I then put some temporary speakers in it

After that i got some angel eyes

then spent a few hours free hand spraying the bonnet

and re-trimmed the roof lining

also upgraded and re-trimmed the sounds

got a bit of bling

upgraded the bass again

then i got a few pics with a mate

more recently i picked up some 13x7 mattig steels

and this is how it's looking at the moment.
Opinions? and yes i know it needs lowering, thats next.

[couzens]

needs to be decked on the floor, badley! not my cup of tea, but nice to see something diffrent, I did lol at the speakers tho.

 

[59jury]

I'm aiming to get its ass down this week

 

[Nyall]

Stick some leaves on the roof and nobody will ever see you :rasp:

I quite like it, it's different and that makes it awesome, thumbs up for having the balls to camouflage your car!

 

[Nyall]

Put a big white star on the doors like the old Yank military stuff

 

[Cookson]

I just dont understand why you would foce a car to look like utter s**t?

As for the "retrimming".......... wtf? It's baggy as f**k.

 

[59jury]

Thank you Nyall im glad you like it, and cookson it's a project, i'm trying out something different and if you don't like it. fair play, each to their own and that....And for the record It's meant to be baggy

 

[Carl-Tracked172]

Not my thing but cant get my head round this,

" i settled on the mili-spec look as it was very different to the typical boy racer in my local area."

Smoked rear light, Angel eyes. Typical boy racer ?

Like the wheels + Needs low's

+ Rat Look ?

 

[LJColeman]

sell me the wheels!!

 

[59jury]

sell me the wheels!!

No chance, their one of the best bits..
little update: lows!

 

[Bluebeard]

Thats not low! Theres another inch to go yet.

Put your shoes back on and get back out there.

 

[marinemackay2003]

LOL Peco they still about

 

[Polls]

I've seen you rolling around town in this terrorizing old ladies! Do you know Josh Murray from PETROC body shop?

 

[Daz.]

Love it

 

[Turkish]

I've got love for rat look but that just looks w**k IMO.

 

[nathanH]

I had a Peco on my ph3, sound good but not too loud.

 

[jesus]

LOL! Fair play for making it your own. That Corsa needs de-wipering btw

 

[.Stevo.C.]

LOL Peco they still about

Lol'd at that too, I remember my brother having one on his nova and it was f**cking loud!

 

[Will.]

That took an unexpected turn. Not my cuppa though I'm afraid although I like the camo paint.

 

[59jury]

Yeah, i'm in my 3rd year their.
And the exhaust came off a mk2 escort plus i removed the cat so it has a nice little burble

 

[Bondy 172]

Definitely different, and there ain't nowt wrong with that.

 

[Greeny.]

LOL Peco they still about

My thoughts exactly, I had one like 8 years ago before it fell to pieces the piece of s**t.

 

[ElkWorks]

 

[59jury]

It's been a LONG time since i've posted here but It's only fair i update
Got pulled because of the rear arches..sorted that

left if for a few months then decided i'd give it a new lick of paint for the summer, back in the bodyshop

I also spent a while modifying some 2nd hand bumpers..
masked it

In booth

De-masking

Got some semi-finished shots

also went to a beach meet last weekend where a mates girlfriend took an amazing pic (personal favourite)

 

[Twingo 1??]

I like it, good for you to do something different and nice to see another mk1 on the forum

 

[Struggler]

i like the wheels and the stance is ok!!

but its let down by the chav mods imo,

black lights, angel eyes, jap style plate, not for me thanks!!

if it had a decent paint job and a valver front end on it, it could look pretty epic tbh!

 

[vinceyboy]

I absolutely f*cking love virtually everything about this car, this is exactly the kind of stance that i really like, not over the top and really delicate looking but wide enough to look and mean business.

And are those weller wheels?

how much lower is it? i know it's difficult to tell for the rears but do you know?

cheers
vince

 

[Bluebeard]

Apart from the rear lights and the stupid rear plate, I quite like it!

 

[Christopher]

It could look so cool. The chavvy bits are ruining it for me.

 

[McGherkin]

Au contraire, I'm alright with the rear lights (about the only paintjob they suit to be honest), but hate the front ones. Apart from that, it's a great non-sheep. Shows that different isn't always worse.

Considered getting some classic (white on black) style plates like the army have?

 

[marinemackay2003]

The camo bits spoil it IMO

Seen it about in barnstaple a while ago, looks a lot better without your name on the back

 

[59jury]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but i thought i would inform you's of what's gone on

Scrapped it!

Got this

Still got alot of love for the clio's but needed something a bit rarer.

 

[MG cup]

I thought the Clio was bad mate but that thing in the bottom pic is horrid sorry.

 

[Martin.]

What even is it? Apart from a shed of course.

 

[r&skxa]

That is a big brown pile of sex! We lost you to the drifting jap lot? Lol.

 

[59jury]

It's a 1986 mazda 323 saloon, 1 of 7 left in the uk :clap:

 

[Bluebeard]

You look like Skee Lo driving that around.

 

[dmallett]

Your clio was a total abortion, unsure what to think on the new car

 

[Zmaster2k]

amen
