UPDATE:

Got my new exhaust system on saturday, custom made from Zorstec in Shipley. Great service and fantastic quality! Sounds great, not too loud but still sounds good :D Also had the timing belt, aux belt and water pump done last week. Glad thats out of the way. No more plans as of yet, maybe colour codeing but not sure. Heres some pics:

car looks ace, im going to be heading that way in the hopefully not to distant future, (except the tints :dead: ) i wouldnt colour code it.. i like the rear bumper.

btw do you still have your black wheels?
 
  Renault Clio 1.2 16v
cheers guys :D and no i sold the black wheels a while back now, not sure about colour coding yet but i am thinking about it!

Also got it booked in for a new sound system next weekend as mine has just decieded to die :( i'll update with pics when its all done

Paid £100 for the wheels and then got them re-furbed and all new tyres put on, worth it really! And I dont have that there anymore, got no spare wheel in at all now lol

Looking nice mate! I have the same colour Clio that I've recently brought. 1.4 Dynamique. Just wondering, have you sprayed the side strips black or are they standard? Just in a few pictures they're looking really black. They look good though! I'm unsure of whether to get my side strips done black or body coloured.
 
  Renault Clio 1.2 16v
not a big fan of the wheels, would look nice with some pro 1.2's but very tidy car.

i was going for the pro race 1.2's but wanted something different so went for these lol :D

Thanks :D oh nice, you got project on here? The side strips are just standard with some meguiars trim stuff on them, it's really good stuff! Think i'm getting them colour coded soon though, cant decide! lol

Sounds good, i'm no good at spraying so i'd have to get mine done at the body shop :L you doing the door handles aswell?
Nice one, I'll take a look at it.

Yeah, see I wouldn't mind giving spraying it myself a go, but I have no idea what paint I'd need to pick up. I know the colour code is NV632, but no idea what paint it would be. I will probably get the side strips and door handles done maybe. I'm so useless at decisions, it's unreal. :S

You can buy the paint at halfords, sand them down, plastic primer a few coats, then a few coats of colour and then laquer them. In a warm shed is best to do them. I did my old wheels in gloss black myself, came up really well

Nice one mate. I just don't know if Halfords would be able to get me a colour match on my car? The staff in there are useless at the best of times I find for the most basic of requests. How long have you had your wheels done now? It's just I'm told if you do it yourself, sometimes the paint starts to come off after a while. Is this true?

True they are useless, there are a few online stores that you can order the colour from. It wasnt these wheels i did, was my old standard ones. If you rub them down well and use a good primer and a good lauquer then the paint does last.

UPDATE:

Got this installed at the weekend and finished it off tonight with the grill. The sound quality is great and can now use my boot again :D I know not everyone will like it but I love good quality audio in the car.
Just need a new boot light now, cant find any white l.e.d ones anywhere. Anybody know where you can get them?

  a black one
you spent a fair bit mate, jl audio? haha moving up in the world, this makes me really want a silver one, nice example.
 
  Renault Clio 1.2 16v
That's a nice neat job you have done there mate. Where did you get the boot build from or did you make it yourself? Looks very tidy!

Also, here's a link to the LED Bulb you will want for your boot. It's a white light and brightens up my boot much better than the standard bulb. - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....48369&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3066wt_1141

Got it done locally, didn't dare try one myself haha. Thanks for the link :D will have to order one now!

I have indeed...its worth it in my opinion and i love it :D yes went for jl as they are really good quality products :D

Who did the boot build for you Jay? Looks really good. The pics before... are they up in silsden on the tops?

Cheers mate, got it done at skipton car audio. Ye there up on the top of murder mile in silsden.

Ha, I went up there the other day... well I say went up, I mean my poor car dragger her sump, subframe, gearlinkage, cat and sills all the way up to get into that bay where you're parked!! Bit of road re-surfacing :)

No worries mate, the LED really make a difference. Do you have LED interior lights at the front of the car?
