My Black Mk2 Ph2 1.2 16v Project

[dj mick kay]

Hello you!

Ive just recently passed my test at 21, and slaved all summer to get a car. I had my heart set on a clio and put 7 days a week in to ensure i had dollar for a decent model, and cash to make a start on modifying it.

So here it is!

My 02 plate Black 1.2 16v Dynamique. 57000 on the clock and picked it up for quite a good price for its condition.






It came with a JVC cd player, a stubby ariel and a bad attitude.



Then, after paying a kings ransom for insurance, pay day came, along with my CS members pack.

I decided to buy an RS Grille to start with, as I recon its probs the best mod to start with. So here it is now, with CS stickers and all.






Next mods;
- Deck it
- Colour code it all
- Induction kit
- Sports interior
- exhaust
- silvervisions
- Tints?
- Black alloys

Being a poor student type, may take a while to raise the funds needed.... Bring on that student loan!!

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Mick

Get them on, I have them an love em!

I wouldn't bother with an exhaust tbh and tints look ghey imo.

Get rid of the aerial so it's black, the silver doesn't go.

Looks quite good that, and agreed with the comment above - the coilovers are immense for 178 quid (make sure you email him afterwards telling him you recently became a member of the cliosport club, and he will refund you 10%)

Have an RS grille on its way to me, so will look similar, however mine is slammed on its balls tehehe

they must be the cheapest coil covers ever. i was debating getting lowering springs but might stretch my budget.

making a good start. looks nice and clean, i just ordered my rs grille, picking it up thursday and yeah get the coilovers because then you can change the hieght otherwise you will get lowering springs and want to go lower lol

Gona give it a full service n get the cambelt changed first i think. Collies it is then! Not a clue how to fit them tho. Any advise? Should I just get my local garage to fit them? Cheers for the comments

If your kind of spanner savvy have a go.

Remove the old struts/springs everything all at the same time, then take the rubber bush off the top, and add it to your new stiffer suspension. Then fit.

Looks good when its low

Jeese, they've gone up in price!
Certainly get them over springs though, you wont regret it!
