hi everyone, ive just joined the forum and i thought i'd introduce myself.

my names oli, i'm 17 and im currently driving a 98 1.2 clio grande in black. nothing special i know but i thought you guys would be good to talk to about any mods i'm planning.

the body works a bit tatty from numerous incidents including:
...trucks reversing into it!
...somebody being thrown on my bonnet
...and gettin my door kickd in

overall i havent had much luck

i'm from daventry, northamptonshire. Any of you guys near??
i thought about 16's but theres a limited amount of wheels in that size.
also, aren't 16" tyres more expensive than 17".

 

[V1NNY]

17's more expensive, but go for 17's so worth it

 

[V1NNY]

Go 17's though they look good

 

[V1NNY]

this is mine on 17's

 

[OLI]

[V1NNY]
