Mk1 Green Auto Clio - what you all think?

[MattyClio]

This is my Clio, had it for about 3 years now, although, i only made changes about 6 months ago, she's lowered around, 40/50 mil, on 15s which i think sit quite nicely angel eyes and clear side repeaters, but my fogs look pants

What you guys think?

Cheers

looks cool, why did u get an auto?

 

[Djw John]

Other than the plates I like it, looks in good nick.

 

[Renault_Boy01]

new plates and fogs and that would be a lovely clio

 

[Djw Dave]

Thats really nice, same colour as my new one too.

Its an auto cuz i got gammy legs - and i was rudely told by a really fat bsm instructor that should drive auto's i learnt in a manual, and can drive them, but i passed in an auto.

Theres a few things i've got planned, its not too recently had a new gearbox, cuz the old one died But i was new fogs, french pressed plates, new bonnet, and to have it debadged, i've got a straight thru pipe waiting to go on, can't get over speed bumps without nearly taking my mid box off lol

Cheers for the comments

i thort if u pass in auto can only drive autos thought you had to pass in manual then you can drive both?

clio looks really good mate not bad for a 5 door at all

 

[MattyClio]

Yeah, i passed in an auto, so i have to drive auto's now, bit s**t, because auto's aren't as fast n stuff. My left foot is the weaker foot, so i can't handle the clutch for more than an hour else i can't walk for the rest of the day lol.

unlucky mate but at least it aint putting you of driving and modding cars

 

[MattyClio]

Nah, i don't care what people think that its an auto or not....still a car isn't it?

 

[leighk18]

LOL - i used to go to a local car meet at asda fosse park in leicester, all you'd really see is mk1 1.2 Corsa's with 17s and lexus lights was so boring, i don't think i've ever seen a green auto clio modified, its had a new gearbox, and i was wondering whether to save up, and get a brand new engine, or drop mine out, and slowly rebuild it with new parts n stuff, but i really don't have the know how - but i'd love to keep the car going for as long as possible

at the end of the day a car is a car aslong as it runs its all gd dnt matta if it auto or manual if you think bout it hard they both got gears

 

[MattyClio]

Yeah, i've had loads of people calling it a go-kart n stuff, but i don't really care, i love that car to bits so i don't care what people have to say lol

 

[YP53ACJ]

my m8 hes disalbed and can only drive autos but didnt stop him from bodykiting and that his focus the onli dif is the gearbox

 

[MattyClio]

Yup, its all gravy in the end!

 

[Ben.]

looks great bud!!

i used to love my mk1

as you said, new fogs would look good, and im not a massive fan of the alloys

looks mint though

 

[MattyClio]

I like the alloys, i was thinking tho, of getting hold of some williams alloys, spraying them white?

 

[AlexS]

Tidy, quite like that.

 

[Ben.]

yeah will look good, i used to have mk2 172 alloys on mine

 

[MattyClio]

I've seen it done on a white clio, and a blue mk1 clio too, looked sooo smart

[MattyClio]

I had to think really hard for a long time, but i see your point about the gears.



Sore head now.
