My Green Clio!

[YA55ER]

Alrite been on here for a while but couldnt get on for ages! thought i would post some pictures of my car as its changed since the last time i did a post when i joined up.

How it started off in life..

then it went to the bodyshop and got the grey bits of trims done black (didnt want to do colour code wanted to be abit different, and the polish wouldnt come off the grey) also spoke with a mate that was on here that was selling his old alloys of his ph2 clio, got em well cheap with tyres and we both took our rear wipers off.

want to lower it and get the colour of the wheels changed, want something like this apart from the bonnet.

 

[Tyssen]

Not sure why you wouldnt colour code it - each to their own

 

[theduck]

dont like bad boy bonnets but other than that looks good

 

[YA55ER]

dont like bad boys either but a family member of mine did the photoshop

 

[Daz.]

I like it - something different.

 

[Bluebeard]

Love what you've done so far, looks really good.

Please please please please don't go amphasite on the wheels though. Been done to death. Keep to the bumpers idea and do something original.

 

[YA55ER]

thanks guys. want to do the wheels in gloss black or try and inject a little green on them? also want to do my bonnet and rear badges black, can anyone tell me how to get them off with out breaking them?

thanks

Go gloss black on the wheels with a coloured rim the same as the car.

Yeah baby. That sounds good.

(shame about the Rover 75 though )

 

[YA55ER]

i was thinking of doing that want to get a photoshop of it first. dont know how much to lower it any help?

 

[GarethM]

nice

 

[A18XHO]

i think they look best like this. My brothers attempted at making hes green ph1 look better

 

[YA55ER]

that is bad! how did it happen?

 

[theduck]

Yeah baby. That sounds good.

(shame about the Rover 75 though )

shhh... 75 is ace! Well its ace if you dont have to pay a penny towards running it and just use it for work

 

[Amy]

Black bits aren't all that bad as they're done properly.
Peanut butter is good at getting the polish and sh*t off plastic trims

 

[Marky_]

I like it. Definitely better with some black to break it up.

 

[YA55ER]

thanks for the comments everyone

 

[Jonophonics]

Looking pretty good! needs lowered badly though, it's nearly touching the moon! how'd you get it looking so shiny on the 4th photo?

 

[YA55ER]

spent 3/4hours cleaning both inside and out that day, that was the last time it was that clean been to cold to give it a proper clean recently

 

[Jonophonics]

Tell me about it, I was going to do mines today then it started snowing....

 

[YA55ER]

[Struggler]

was going to get some orion hcca door speakers but they wouldnt fit, the magnet was jus too big would have sounded much better.

yep all about the ph1s

 

[Rob22]

If the Ph1 is the same as a Ph2 then how did you fit them? are they just coaxials or comps?

[Alastair.]

[YA55ER]

[will.clio!]

putting the 182 speakers in the back or getting some more 'aftermarket' ones?

182's were going to go in the front but then i got hold of them alpines, and in the rear i already hade some sony ones. when you going to let me hear your new system ey?

 

[will.clio!]

hmm when i go back to colledge i guess, Got my new system in but will be taking it out and making new boxes and maybe have a go fibre glassing.

 

[Aluco]

Think the car looks ace tbh, I think the photoshop was cool minus the bonnet but Daniels idea of amphasite() with a green rim would look awesome. Love the glossy black bump strips.

how come your making new boxes? im looking for a lighter box for mine they weigh a ton, makes the car drink to much petrol

Lower,

Springs not coilovers.

I'd be tempted to keep the wheels silver, lower it 40-60mm, ph2 rears as you've already bought and a 172 or cup spoiler colour coded. But then again I'd also suggest colour coding your handles and fog and then you'd just end up with a green version of my old ph1!

found some 60mm lowering springs on k-tec all in all they come up to £102 before the 5% member discount. Cost of refurb will be between £100 and £200 as i have two slight buckles in the wheels (on the inner edge:S) so i think i might get the lowering springs soon and then save up for a refurb later on.

was thinking of geting a cup spoiler as it looks abit strange how it is now with no spoiler
