Newbie from NL, Clio RS 169HP



  Clio II 172 RS Ph1
Hiya,
I'm new here. My name's Andy, 33 years old and from the Netherlands. Drove a Seat Leon 1.8T 20VT before the Clio and got rid of it because I wanted to drive something smaller and save some money in the proces. Nice car to drive, bought it with stage 1 map and modded it until I was ready for stage 2 custom map. Ended with 261BHP 395Nm, which is quite fast :)

I swapped the Leon with this Clio, which came with 17" wheels and center silencer removed and lowered on springs (harsh ride).

Then saw some nice lightweight Rota Sub Zero wheels (16") and bought those and started going for a dark blue/black theme. So went on with plastidipping etc.

Was inspired by the custom CAI thread, but wanted something different, so came up with this:

And managed to score a Elia muffler for cheap, which I think looks nice (also something different).

Speclist:
-16" Rota Subzero wheels with Pirelli P Zero Nero
-Custom CAI
-Xenon 5000k
-5mm Eibach Spacers rear
-Center silencer delete
-Elia muffler
-Plastidipped badges
-Raid HP Oil temp gauge + sandwich plate
-LED bulbs in rear lights
-Changed engine mounts (OEM)
-Vortex generators on roof

The plan with this car is budget modding, as I have another financial priority (buying a house someday).
