My MK1

[Stephene]

It's been a while so here is my Clio, bought it completely bog standard back in September with 57k on the clock and the head gasket gone (not got this sorted yet though!) Only got a small rust bubble near the corner of the drivers door, which isn't bad going for an 18yr old car! And my sunroof doesn't leak
Got given some TSW Stealth's, so they replaced the 13" steels, then came the PH2/3 boot strip (thanks Winston!)
Then on Monday a friend from school was going to scrap his PH1 and he kindly said, anything i want i could take, so got some various spares/bits i can flog

Before

After

Also got some Clio mats, I liked them out of the car, put them in mine and they stick out a bit cos they're a lot darker, but I'm sure they'll grow on me!

Front

Rear

Here's the wheels, fairly new tire's, he sprayed them himself, not perfect but I've seen a lot worse! They'll be going on when I can borrow a jack off someone!

And the exhaust! No idea what it is, but it looked quite good on his car and it sound's alright, apparently!

Still a few things i want done, lowering for a start plus a few other things!

Happy days

I'd get the head gasket done ASAP if I were you!

you driving it about with it gone?

if so, could do alot of damage, warp the head, etc..

Nope, not been driven since September, and even then it was only from the previous owners house to mine (not far at all) when it was just about on it's way out! Hoping to get it done within the next month and all the belts etc!

thats ok then.

costly job though IIRC!

mine went on my old ibiza, cheapest quote I got was £400, I got the car for £500! so that went straight on ebay!

 

[jesus]

Nice plans! Will be interesting to see a MK1 with those wheels.

 

[Stephene]

Doing it ourselves/friend's £100 odd for parts, beer money for whoever helps! Have been quoted stupid amounts like £600-£800 :O

Nice plans! Will be interesting to see a MK1 with those wheels.

Hopefully it won't look too bad, after a decent refurb atleast!

 

[jesus]

Are you refurbing them the same colour?

 

[Stephene]

Maybe, not quite sure what they're supposed to be atm, he said black before i went n got them :S More of a bluey, black, silver? Probably black if i do, any other suggestions?

 

[Savi]

Thats one clean car!!

I've just lowered mine today on 50mm with 15s on, good amount i reckon, if you can find them, get 60mm with 15s if you can, would look good.

Zorst looks good too, is it a 3inch?

 

[Savi]

Oh and who's bucket seats are they in the background of the exhaust pic?

 

[Stephene]

Yep, i was thinking 60mm myself!! Looks a 3inch, haven't measured it though, but it's just the right size for it imo!

Bucket seats are for sale! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=387363 Want rid now really!

Ford Graphite Grey - that's what mine are in. They look blackish, but gloss black though and your tyres don't look really dirty all the time

 

[Stephene]

Looks good, could be an option indeed! That would be annoying, cleaning them 24/7!

 

[EllisC]

Satin Black looks quality imo but once you start puttin to much laquer on them they look more gloss black.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Still not got that POS to the scrap heap? Only jesting . Ill have my wheels back when the others are on please Oh and shouldn't it be thanks to Winston AND Owen for the bootstrip?

Haha yeah, mine look the same filthy as they do clean! (alloys that is, not tyres)

 

[Stephene]

Might have to get someone to do some photoshops when they're on!

Oh, har har, just jealous, silver beats purple iirc! No, because it took weeks of me moaing for you to send it

 

[iimushroomzii]

My cars silver too love. Have you got two sets of fogs now? Pretty please? And those door cards, Lectric windows or not?

 

[Stephene]

Oh yeh, in your 'oooaarrr Megane Coupe' (remember on Skins?!) Yes, but one of mine doesn't work, unless you want a working one and a broken one (no idea whats wrong with it)? Yeh, got door cards, and did you mean just the swtiches that are in the door cards, cos i have them lol, but his had electric mirrors so it's got a knob for that?

 

[iimushroomzii]

I want the whole plastic door card bit with the switches and everything? Please say you got it. And yeah that coupe was the best tbh.

 

[Stephene]

Yeh, we just took the door cards off, didn't take anything off them, but what I'm saying is, it has a electric mirror knob thing!

 

[iimushroomzii]

Yeah well that dont matter, Ive got no mirrors at all, just blank baseplates. lol

 

[Stephene]

I'll think of a price What you need em for...or what you doing to the purple thing???

 

[iimushroomzii]

Need them for the purple thing, . And the price is free because you love me obviously? Or ill just borrow them, like you borrowed my wheels?

 

[renclio]

[Stephene]

I think not.
