It's not finished yet by a long shot, spraying/more damage repair/a whole lot of tar/scum removal - but it's getting there.

 

[Djw John]

Cool, nice to see you improving it instead of just replacing it.

 

[badinvincible]

That is rather nice.

 

[cliolass]

nice work mate

 

[_Kenny_]

yeh looking well good

 

[Mk1_MATT]

can i ask how much getting the bonnet done cost u??? because my mk1 RT bonnet is crash damaged, and i want to replace it with a valver bonnet but curious about price...
thanks matt

 

[Rip3z]

Thanks for the feedback all .

Mk1_MATT you can pick up a 2nd hand bonnet for £80-90, as long as you have ph1/2 lights. I put 16v wings/bumper on mine aswell - love the mean look it gives.

 

[Rich]

Coming along nicely.

 

[patty]

asd above nice to see some clio love.... lol

 

[JonnyK]

u got the wheels on yet mate ?

 

[Rip3z]

They'll be on shortly . I bought some 15" Wolfrace Ikons from JonnyK if people are wondering.

 

[SteveC047]

Well done, its dreadfull when you have a dink in the car buts it good to see that you are building on it, Keep it going and the car will look excellant.

 

[Leeshez]

Nice

 

[Rip3z]

Thx all .

 

[JoelDee]

WOW thats ace did you convert it from a ph3? to that????

 

[Rip3z]

Yup, main reason was the big bug eyes on a ph3 - then once I got started, I jst didn't stop .

 

[cat171]

Looks good, you got any more pics of it ??
side on maybe ?

 

[Hellcat]

Looks nice mate, good work

 

[Rip3z]

Side and back are a bit of a mess atm, unpainted/missing/damaged parts - one step at a time tho.

Altho I did get the alloys on tonite, I'll go take a pic...

Sry my digi cam is a bit crap!

 

[SeanM86]

Conversion looks top notch. Any more plans for it??

 

[Rip3z]

Well obviously you can see I've just put 15" Wolfrace Ikons on.

Plans for the immediate future are:

Damage repair
Exterior Spraying
Valver Spoiler
New back bumper (valver maybe?)
Finish Interior Spraying
Full exhaust system
Colour Coding

Not too sure about lowering, speedhumps and passengers put me off.

Eventually an engine conversion will be made - but that's a big eventually.

 

[Adam]

very nice....

 

[JonnyK]

good lad !

 

[JoelDee]

What did you need to change then?

Cause I was gonna do this, I had williams bonnet, headlights and wings, would I have needed to change the front bumper as well to make it fit?

Did you have to do any alterations to the car?

 

[Smokey]

looking good mate, 100x better

 

[Rich_16v]

Good work the front end is a vast improvement

Get a phase 2 grill asap

 

[Rich_16v]

Joel you wouldn't have needed to change the front bumper the plastic strips under the phase1 & 2 lights fit around the moulded grill on the phase 3's Bazzaray has the front end conversion on his with a phase 3 bumper

 

[nathanH]

good to see more ppl doing ph1/2 conversions, i did the same with my car after i stacked it.

[Rip3z]

What's the phase 2 grill like then? Sum1 got a pic?

And yeah they're right Joel, you don't need to change the bumper, the ph1/2 bumper jst looks so much better though.
