My new clio 172 cup



  PH2 172
Been thinking about spraying my mirror caps a different colour but not sure what colour would look right etc or should i leave them blue? hmm
 
  PH2 172
Update: Well i had the scratch repaired and it was in a nice mint condition until about 2-3 weeks ago. I was going to pick up the missus who was about 100ft away from me when some idiot didnt look right when pulling out a petrol station and T-boned the side of my car. Grrrrrrrrr :-(, Luckely enough he admitted liabilty straight away. They wrote my car of after checking it said there was amost £4000 of damage so they gave me £3900 for the car and i brought i back for £800 and is now in the process of repairing it.

Heres the pics:

Christ, that worked out well.

50 for wing and indicator, 100 for door, 400 for coilovers, 200 for refurb.

Then you have 2350 left over for rear quarter.

I'm sure you can get that done for under a k without a blend.

Done well. Apart from the hassle.

Wheel refurb was £45 for 1 wheel at same place who powder coated them. Door was £140 from a clio spare place but its mint. Indciators got new set for £10, Havnt found a wing yet mate works at renault but takin ages. Just debating what to do with qauter panel. i gota give 1k to bro for lending me cash for now but still have some cash left over :) Plus the sprayer is just going to do a full repaint on that side of the car plus front bumper and bonnet. got paint for £20 as dad used to be a painter :)

ahhh was close, was thinking refurb for all four you see.

Such a mission waiting for parts to show, i remember looking for a wing for my motor and i tended to find loads in cup blue so i'm sure you won't have a problem finding one.
 
  PH2 172
Im having a big problem finding 1 either there gone or no1 has 1 would rather a cup one saves spraying all the inside bits.
 
  TTRS & V50
Definitely hold out for a cup one, i'm sure one will show up. Although i held out for over 4 months for an iceberg silver wing, saved me a lot of money though.

Looks good mate. It was looking spot on bar coilies before you got hit. Ive just bought coilovers for my cup. And i want to spray my wheels grey maybe not as dark as yours. Good taste ;)
 
  PH2 172
I was going for coilovers but funds are now low as i have tax and insurance to pay aswell as all my mounts on my car was gone, so for now looks like just springs.
 
  PH2 172
UPDATE: Got the old door of yesterday and the new door put on looks much better. got all the bonnet door flatted down ready for painting the bumper needed alot more work due to stonechips so thats being primed whie we speak heres a few pics.
