Looking good dude, loooooooking good! Spray the wheels white you know it makes sense. LoL.

What tyres you after? Don't skimp on the tyres! Get yourself some nice summer tyres, and enjoy

As a ph3 owner; I must say...ur plastic trim looks ace!

[Middo]

looks good mate, minter

 

[James.]

Not very clued up on tyres so am not sure, dont even no what size will fit lol, any help wont go amiss

 

[Akira2506]

I assume ur current tyres are 195/65/15 or 195/55/15... if so; you're after some 195/45/15s... http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ are pretty cheap, and stock lots of different brands.

I like Yoko A539s for the clio... you could also keep 'em on in winter, as they shift water pretty well too. But they have good contact area, and fairly soft for 'street' tyres. (£46 each from Mytyres...inc P&P)

[James.]

Current tyres are 175/60/r14, just checked

 

[Gareth]

looks mint mate, a real nice example. I did a very similar thing to my first car (Fiesta) looked much more modern than it was and looked mint.

 

[pecan]

Cracking photos mate.

 

[Remedi]

That is super tidy mate:approve:

 

[James.]

Cheers Remedi, even better coming from another mint ph3 owner

 

[avance70]

some interior pics?

 

[sh33n]

Tidy smart!

 

[ajketley]

dude its looks really good! Whats wrong with the bee sting? Ive got one and no one cared, looks ok, please dont slate now though!

 

[Cupster]

Looking smart

 

[James.]

some interior pics?

Ner its totally standard inside, and I dont think anyone wants to see a basic MK1 interior.

Whats wrong with the bee sting? Ive got one and no one cared, looks ok, please dont slate now though!

lol just looks abit chromey and doesnt really look right with the rest of the car, nothing against them I just prefere the standard one

 

[Akira2506]

Spray it... standard one is ghey and looooooooong as s**t. My car looks R/C.

Get some new plates, with the Euro "GB" symbol, makes the car look a lot newer IMHO.
