:slap:

 

[pabloclio]

what would suggest ?

 

[JoshClioC]

angel eye's belong on a BMW. Get dual optics, secondly those rear lights are ugly IMO its your car fella.... its watever makes you happy.

 

[pabloclio]

rear light have bin changed but they were lexus style so was gonna put them black 1s bk on but wiring for my lights damaged so need to get rewired and prob go back to original

 

[JoshClioC]

IMO- Dual Optics for front, PH2 rear lights. and your on ya way... the air filter/induction "thingy" is useless, seats are coool though :approve:

 

[pabloclio]

seats were a bargen all of them for £40

 

[G3 NYX]

Get some lows
Oz f1 alloys
Colour code door handles and bump strips
Cup spoiler
Sport front bumper


Jobs a gudden

 

[pabloclio]

i got some springs to be put on only cost me £15 of ebay just waiting to sort wheel bearing first

 

[pabloclio]

im after some alloys just short of money to get some i bin looking for cheap alloys everywhere

 

[JoshClioC]

dont buy cheap, save for better. good things come to those who wait

 

[pabloclio]

[G3 NYX]

im after some alloys just short of money to get some i bin looking for cheap alloys everywhere

Dont get anything bigger than 16" alloys, and no chrome lol
Black, silver or white.

 

[pabloclio]

i was lookin at some 15" speedlines in white

Paint could do with a bit of a clean up. Pay to get it machine polished? would look much better in my opinion good luck though

Red seems to fade on the clios, its a shame really

 

[Owen_m]

True mate, same on all red cars really. But its only the top layer of lacquer so a good t-cut or machine polish usually gets it shinning from my experience

 

[pabloclio]

just bin thinkin about that today aswell

 

[deanog123]

ditch the angel eyes standard front back lights lows get some nice oz f1's saving for some for my ph2 atm defo needs colour coding but a good car to start

 

[Mat23]

£15 for springs on ebay!!! cheap... im not gonna mention how much mine were now lol! coilovers are a better way to go though mate. my mate had same car in same red colour, he colour coded all the bumpers/spoiler/wingmirrors and it looked really smart.

 

[pabloclio]

i was lookin at coilovers but as got my springs for 15 cudnt complain really waiting for weather to be better then will start colour coding thinking facelift rear bumper aswell

 

[Will.]

Lose the angel eyes and you'll have a decent first motor.

 

[Owen_m]

Get it done mate, worth every penny in my opinion. Then keep it waxed and cleaned and it should stay nice

 

[joshhicky]

Spend the money and get the paint sorted out would make a massive difference, like someone said maybe a good professional machine polish would do it, but when thats sorted will be a good looking car.

 

[pabloclio]

how much recon professional polish wud cost?

 

[G3 NYX]

A proper good job and paint correction with a machine polisher is about £150.

Thats what magpiev6 quoted me anyways.

 

[pabloclio]

i may aswell get a respray ahah it onli 200 for that ahah

 

[Owen_m]

200 for a respray? :O should be looking at alot more than that mate :/

 

[The Fatty]

I like your ICE setup in the boot... Did you make those boxes or can you buy them like that? they are a very unique shape/angle...

 

[pabloclio]

my mate made them not got the anymore as needed boot space but thinking of putting them back 1 day when get new twin set
