My Car

[SophOwen]

Hi Guys!
So I'm new here so first of all just a bit about myself.

I'm a BMW/Mini Apprentice. Love cars.
Been in the trade 2 years. Brought my first car in April this year. 5 door blue 1.2 16v clio 2004 with 67000 miles on her. Not really modded yet. Changed head unit and that's it. Detailed it.

Need so new ideas to do stuff to it without messing it up. Also need to be sure it's not going to mess with the insurance. Barely able the afford it anyway so don't want it to jump up too much.
Couple of pics provided ☺

I live in basingstoke and work at Marshall BMW in Hook.
Haha Full tank being only £45 always got fuel in it. Just need something to do with it. Mostly focusing on visual changes if you've got any ideas?

Personally I wouldn't bother doing anything but it's not my car. There's threads on here in Clio Discussion for cheap/easy "mods". There's not a lot you can do without messing your insurance about so... It's up to you really ! Get some NCB banked instead and save your money.. don't give it all to the insurers ?

That looks very tidy. I wouldn't go too mad with it, remember anything you do could potentially invalidate your insurance if you don't tell them.

Looks a nice clean car.

As already said really, don’t go mad. The most I would suggest is a set of wheels, insurance dependant. Check to see if they will hike your premiums up for changing them first.

I'm not insured on it yet. Just learner insurance. Was going to tell them anyway

I know! Unlucky!! ?

Keep it simple I think. Maybe a set of wheels from a Sport, Sport front grill and maybe a set of springs. I wouldn't go any further than that, just enjoy it ?

Is that the official BMW title ?

I think the word they used was testicles? ?

 

[Brigsy]

Stick a few sport bits on it, grill, xenon headlamps, set of lowering springs, wheels & sport steering wheel etc all cheap mods and make quite a difference. Heres my dci rocking similar mods
