My New Clio

[conneh]

Created a thread in the new to clio sport section, messeed it up - posted twice, said im getting the car below etc. Didnt go down to well

However, today i picked up my Clio. It's my first car

1.2 16v Extreme 4

Im actually so happy, its pretty much imaculate bar a tiny scratch the door pillar which should T-Cut out. Interior is perfect, not a single mark

 

[BioHzrd]

Looks good mate i await the.....Get a Set of Turinis and Slam it posts

Still i say slam it :rasp:

 

[Ian_182]

Needs some turini's or some black 172 alloys then drop it 40mm

 

[conneh]

Sounds interesting?

 

[kie1an]

looks so high ....so as above ....SLAM it .

 

[DebV6]

Looks very high! Nice first car

 

[Tigger]

Lovely 1st car, best of luck with it
Welcome to CS too!

 

[joebristolgym]

A pretty good first car - I had some old banger thing for mine. LOwer it and it'll look very respectable mate.

 

[leeds_182]

I'd be well happy to have a motor like that for my first car.

 

[JON13S]

very nice for a first car. wish i could of had that

just some advice lol

dont spend too much money on modding. keep it simple and save for a rs or another car. keep your no claims building up etc. the amount i have wasted is unreal. if i could go back i'd keep my first shed til the wheels fell off tehn go and get a nicer car.

 

[conneh]

Only things i plan on are maybe new alloys, and have thought about slight rear window tinting - but i like it as it is in all fairness

 

[Russ.]

car looks a great first car mate. thought i was seeing things just as id just this minute been looking at the photos your dad posted on overclockers uk forums.

 

[TJ182]

Smart first car mate - enjoy

 

[Phoenix]

nice first car mate. lowered and repaint alloys in gunmetal grey. no need to do much more excpet maybe a new filter for a bit of a throaty roar...

 

[nozza89]

[J-Dizzle]

black 172 alloys ftw!!

jongeeone?

 

[N!CK R]

Woohh, looks like the 4x4 version.
Maybe its just where im used to seeing a low one...

 

[conneh]

Come on
Its my first car, im happy with it.
Dont really want to do anything to it to major, thinking about when i sell it in the future or somthing.

 

[Jungle_Jim]

drop it 50mm and fit an RS grill and it will look very tidy mate

 

[R20 CWH]

good first car. Looks nice there and if you only have one mark on black paint at that age, you are doing well

 

[J03]

nice car mate, for all those saying it needs this and it needs that, god sakes shut up they guys only just got the car! looks like a good example. aside from people sayin you need this and that, do you have your personal plans with the car?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

go mad n save up for coilovers then you can drop it as low as you thinks best, then buy some nice wheels for it n colour code it n maybe uprate the speakers would be very nice, not that its not now mind but you know

aye well its opinion isnt it mate.

when i had my first car the insurance was so steep there wasnt bags of coin to get it modded, its generally just friendly advice on here though

 

[conneh]

Well, i like my music - So new door speakers + HU first, any recomendations?

 

[Reyes]

drop it 300mm and slap some 16" Turinis on it. Very tidy indeedio

JVC or alpine ImO

 

[Hazza]

Alpine or Kenwood do the best imo.

Agreed.

It's alwyas the way on here though, someone puts up pics of their car & folk always ask 'what have you got planned' It wouldn't matter if the original poster had a lambo or a ferrari, the question would still be asked.

 

[conneh]

Always thought Pioneer did the best ICE stuff?

Also, is it 4" speakers? Is it just a case of whiping the old ones out, and putting the new ones in or do they need a seperate amp?

 

[crash-0714]

Really tidy looking car, gonna' sound an ass now, but like the rest have said, slam it =] But in your own time...

Pioneer are good for their ICE, but Alpine are close aswell....

Depends which speakers your replacing them with...if they're components then, to get a nice amount of low end then yes they do. If they're coaxials then no, they dont.

You'll find most guys on here have amp'd components in the front, and a sub+amp in the boot. Very rarely do anything on the rear speakers.

Oh, and, in my opinion, I'd keep the alloys, just get them refurbed in anthracite or white...!

Crash

 

[conneh]

Amping some components would be ideal, is this hard?
I assume i would need 2 amps, 1 for components and 1 for sub?

Thats the best way in terms of sound quality to do it. although i personally just bought a 4 channel amplifer, used 2 channels for my sub and the other 2 for my components.

Sounded great tbh.

 

[crash-0714]

2 Channels for the sub? You've lost me...

 

[Russ.]

its called bridging.

say you have a 4 channel amp and each channel produces 75watts rms that means each component will get 75watt rms and the sub will get 150watt rms, you do this by linking 2 channels on the amp.

 

[conneh]

Think i might just get some coax ones :x They sound ok?
As for the sub + amp, i can do that.

 

[Russ.]

coax are ok, although components are better. if your handy with a screwdriver theyre easy to install.

Am i right in thinking SPL Dynamics are any good?

 

[crash-0714]

You getting a sub aswell, or just the components mate?

 

[conneh]

Eventually - probably a sub as well.
Has anyone got any instalation logs/pictures they have from when they have done this?
