My Clio Project

[jmowls92]

So i finally got my Clio dead chuffed with it!! Not bad for £900, few bumps but can barely notice them at all. Needs door respraying cause some little git keyed it and needs a new driver side mirror but after then the plans i have for this car at the minute are:

PH2 Rear Lights
Dual Optics + HID's
Maybe to colour code bumpers
172 Spoiler/Boot lid sprayed same colour as car
Flat Wiper Blades

 

[jmowls92]

Flat wiper blades showed up today probably the cheapest mod haha Let me know what you guys think and if i missed any mods that will look awesome

Do all of the above plus code the strips and door handles and maybe get it a bit lower and then leave it alone!

Was thinking of lower profile tyres cause these are proper thick and sprayin alloys :/ not sure yet though

Get the other main more important additions made first like the sport headlights :approve:

 

[jmowls92]

Yeah there are a must have need to get a scratch repaired first then on with the lights and 172 spoiler

 

[DanEdser]

clear side repeaters

 

[jmowls92]

[DanEdser]

Yes Dan hint took what are the ones on yours pal?

[DanEdser]

I got these mate, so much better than the other repeaters with the random lines in the middle and what not

 

[jmowls92]

[DanEdser]

i bought that exact ebay item

 

[jmowls92]

Still after some dual optics and a 172 spoiler!!

 

[jmowls92]

Gave it a good clean, polished the whole thing and cleaned up the engine, then went for some snapshots, what you think?

 

[Jordanb29]

Car looks very tidy I need to give my engine a clean but for the life of me cannot be bothered, plus dont know what to use for cleaning it, what have you used?

 

[jmowls92]

I used these wipes that my dad has, there full of soap and stink but they do a cracking job, only meant for interior but thought id try them on engine and it worked fine

 

[jmowls92]

Started saving up for the following to pop on car:

Dual Optics + HID Kit
PH2 Rears
172 Spoiler
Colour Code Bumper
Clear Side Repeaters (For Dan )
172 Alloys
Maybe Lowering Springs

 

[Jordanb29]

well i may have some 40mm lowering springs for sale soon, im going back to standard for a little while because getting coilovers soon so wont need them and want to go back to standard until then? and ill give my engine a clean soon when i get that spray on stuff just dont want to get any on the electrics and bugger it up

 

[jmowls92]

Im gonna wait until i have the alloys first i think mate, probably round January i'll be looking at spring for my 21st

 

[Jordanb29]

i havent even informed my insurance of the springs as they will never know unless you crash the car plus its not that low, a 40mm drop is nice on the car and isnt super bad compared to the 60mm as they are to low in my opinion im looking for some 172 alloys but they cost like £150 for 4 and thats with/without tyres

 

[DanEdser]

(For Dan )

Much Love x

 

[jmowls92]

[Hixle]

You do understand what insurance is for, right?

 

[Jordanb29]

Yes i do, but when you pay £3000 for 3rd party fire and theft you would understand why i didnt inform them, plus they are coming off anytime soon so its all good

 

[jmowls92]

[DanEdser]

Thumbs up to the hid kit! 6k looks nice. But if you have a crisp white 6k hid set up then why the hell would you want yellow fog lights? Damn that's one of my pet hates. But I like how it looks so far
