My first car!

[Fagan]

Alrite folks, im 16 and got my first car today - 2001 Renault Clio 1.2 16v Dynamique. Been saving for a while, and finally had enough for what I wanted.

I got a few things i'd like to do but at the same time I want to keep my insurance as low as possible. Check it out tell me what you think, cheers!

Good start! drop it on the standard rims, job done!!

 

[Josh220]

very nice first car mate. how long til you can learn to drive then?

 

[Craig]

not bad for a first car

Lovely mate! Welcome along.

Simple mods are the best, the slightly bigger 16in rims, moderate lowering and colour coding! - Try not get suckered in to changing body panels! No real need!

 

[Daniel]

Leave it standard if i was you.

Will be so much easier to sell when you finish it.

*you could Deck it on coilovers and then take them off when you sell it*

Actually, scrap my first comment, Deck it! lol

Quality! Is the engine in the rear of the car?

I like the colour coded part on the inside, did you do that yourself?

I think you need to put some flashing Pink LED lights underneath your hazzard button. These should flash all the time for the best affect.

yeah I've been admiring the 172 rims from some pics on this site actually. Coilys are really pricey though are they not?
