You crack on & keep it up mate. Live your dream & get it out your system. I passed at 24 (will be 26 in March) & like you, got into cars when the scene was all about kits, chromes & Max Power! I had ideas of cars I wanted & what I wanted to do but never did my test. Got a mk1 clio as a first car & did small bits but never went mad.
Anyway, to be blunt the scene has changed now. Kits, ETC have gone out the window for OEM stuff, clean lines, simple mods, & the whole less is more thing. I can completely understand why your doing it, I didn't have the chance to do it when I was 17 so I want to do it all now. Only difference is I've restrained myself lol!
I've still put an exhaust on my 1.2 Clio (ph2) because I wouldn't have been happy unless I had been there & done it! The guys on this forum are very like minded, & the even the younger new drivers read from the same page. Otherwise you just look like another knob head boy racer parked up in Macdol giving it revs!
Do what you want, fit your kit & all the other bits. You honestly won't be happy until you've done it & experienced the ups & downs of modifying a car. What people are trying to get across (albeit negatively) is things are different now. Everyone has been there though, but moved on. Keep the audio though, you can't beat a s**t load of bass!
Stay on the forum if your keeping the Clio. It's a great source of info & banter.
All the best. Live the dream!!

) then I'd recommend smoothing the original bumpers and making it OEM+ that will look much tidier, won't be as embarrassing to drive around and will get a much better response in general.
