  Mk2 phase one cilo
Hello this is my first car I got off a lad in college for £80 because it needed a new front strut in the sale got 5 new wings in total a whole new front bumper and two new headlights because the ones on the car where faded so what ever happens I can not loose money on the car.

so this is the car the alloys will be for sale two new tyres two scrap plans are to colour code the plastic bits and lower the car (anyone recommend coilovers?) on ats cups with a sport interior

picked up sport interior last week so going to fit it very soon (pics to follow) I am also swapping the horrid wheels for a set of standard clio alloy and are going to paint them anthracite grey I have also changed the stut which was a nightmare trying to get off. I have got my driving test booked so need to get this mot'd and taxed.

Good luck on your test mate! Took me 3 tries ;)
If your pictures aren't working, try enclosing them in [ img ] [ /img ] (nospaces) tags, or use a different website, like imgur.com!

*** UPDATE ***

I managed to fit my sport interior today and its soooo much better than the normal 1.2 seats had a bit of trouble removing a nut but a little heat and it came off and the rest fit like a glove with ease however I have not fitted the front door cards because I need to get electric windows first.

Your plans sound good, definitely get some more subtle alloys in my opinion though. To upload the photos properly you need to copy and paste the image code, you can get to it by clicking the little options button in the top right corner of the picture and going onto 'get links'.

Anthracite always looks good, fact.

Well done on passing your test. Looks like a good start to what could be a nice car. Get standard alloys, maybe some springs? And leave it like that and save for something bigger ;)

This. I so wish id left mine with just a few things done. Bought a full 172 kit which needs painted and know I'm for upgrading next year. Standard alloys and 60mm spring and it'll look the part. Maybe some ph2 rear lights aswel.

I had rokkor coilovers on my 1.2. Not to expensive and wasn't to bad a quality. Iirc I paid 195 posted from Germany. Subtle Mods are always the best too.

sold them wheels for the price I paid for the whole car with the wheels so the car owes me nothing now, sweet. I am taking the car to college so I can do some pre mot checks and I will service the car at the same time as for new wheels I fancy some 5 spoke normal clio alloys for winter then a set of turbines (does anyone know what money they go for?)

I'm not sure how much turbines go for I think they would be upwards from £300 for a good set without tyres thou. Don't quote me on that thou!! Get the ph2 dynamique alloys as they are slightly different to the other standard alloys. They are pretty much 15" 172 alloys.

congrats! My rear brake-bias valve was supposedly 'sezied' as well, cleaned it up, a bit of grease and a few pulls on it to make sure it operated and moved freely. Done!
