My 1.2 dynamique

[MonacoDan]

Im 18 an currently on my second Clio, been on here a while and had some ideas on what to do so now i have completed some stuff on my car i have decided to start a thread.

This being my first...

Then decided to get something a little better, found a 53 plate 1.2 dynamique 57k on the clock for £1700. Bargain!

Unfortunately it does have a dent in the bonnet and the paint has cracked, have been quoted £250 to repair it :S so i might just buy a second hand one if i can find one in platinum silver. O and it had those horrible lexus lights, fortunately the lady i bout the car off had kept the originals, so they went on and the others went on ebay.

first modification was a lick of paint for the calipers, engine cover and bullets.

next up i decided i was going to get a tow strap

the most recent change so far was to get a RS grill

Before.

After.

Next to do:
Lower 40mm
KTR recessed exhaust cat back system
172 alloys
Type r aerial

Would love some feedback, what else should i do?

As it stands at the moment,

move the tow strap to the higher slot. if you ever use it itll rip your grille out.

tidy little car though plans will suit it well

 

[meekings14]

what size is the bolt you used on the tow strap mate?

 

[MonacoDan]

If I remember correctly it was a M14x50mm, had to drill out the hole in the tow strap as it don't fit through though

Right been a while since i updated this so heres a few things ive done recently.

21/06/12
I had already ordered a new exhaust but after 2 weeks of waiting i got bored and decided to buy a Skoda splitter to replace my crappy standard one

Definite improvement!

23/06/12
Few days after fitting my new splitter and the new exhaust arrives and its fitted the next day

I've recently taken a bit out of the bumper to tidy it up, and the other day my CSS 12 tickets arrived so i fitted my CSS 12 sticker

been a long while since i have updated, in that time i have done the odd little bits.
this is the exhaust as it sits now per the previous post.

Later that same day my mum decided to back the land rover into my car :/ lucky just a dent in the boot.

i have also replaced all the bulbs in the headlights for xenons and some silvertecs.

with no record of the cambelt being done since the car was built i took no chances and got it done just before i hit 60k, cost me £50 and free labour as i just recently started work at the garage

since then ive only fitted team heko wind deflectors and some new valve caps

future plan is to lower it 40mm and get a 172 rear bumper once my next insurance renewal is due.
Feedback welcome
