Odyssey mk2 ph2 1*2 dynamique

[Barnett]

Thought I'd start a thread to try to get some ideas for little changes from the experts!
Now I don't want to do anything too drastic for insurance reasons, but I want my car to be different from the millions of standard clio's you see every day.

Here it is when I first got it, this was the only picture i took.

I then started with the tiny changes, got rid of the horrible orange indicators and put in some chrome bulbs, which in my opinion is the best mod for a fiver. On a whim I bought some eyebrows off ebay although you can barely tell that they're on there. Got a black badge to stick over the standard chrome one as I'm not a fan of chrome. Put in some Xenon bulbs for a whiter light rather than the yellow tinge you get with standard.

Not different enough yet, so I decided to have a go at spraying my wheels black, I knew they wouldn't come out great as its the first time i sprayed anything but for £20 I think they look alright. Sprayed the centre diamonds the same colour as the car since I had some of that paint left over.

That's all I've done to date. Due to lack of funds and lack of being able to change much for insurance purposes. But if i do manage to get some money, on the to do list are the following:
-First of all is a new front passenger seat after the airbag went off from hitting a kerb, need to sort out one of the rear seatbelts too
-Want to spray the rear diamond and the clio badge black but not sure how difficult it will be to get them off
-Coilovers, definitely needs lowering
-New set of alloys, really undecided on the type i'd go for but i'd like some 16 or 17 inch alloys
-Sort out headlights as they're all scratched, did try to do it but to little avail, might end up buying a new set, projectors if i can get them
-rs grill
-New aerial
-Considered colour coding but I've got a bit of a black and blue theme going at the minute so will leave it for now.
-Not sure if there's any point getting wind deflectors? Do they really do anything?
-Does the skoda splitter fit non-sport clio's?


Any suggestions?
Thanks for looking

got the right idea fella, i would go sport bumpers and wheels a half decent exhuast? just be subtle dont want to end up like a ricer.

Thanks for your suggestions. I do like the 16" sport wheels but I don't want to try to make it into a sport copy just without the engine. Would like something a little bit different but definitely want to make sure it isn't a chavmobile which is why I'm cautious about going for an exhaust, sure it'd sound good but making a load of noise and not going anywhere is something that i laugh at on a regular basis. Would love a great sounding car if i had the engine to back it up though! Not sure about maybe going for some euro alloys to break the mould a bit? Also tried fitting tint myself which ended in disaster, not sure if it'd look good anyway. Opinions please?

heres my odyssey to show you people seem to accept mine even though its different from the norm, there is a fine line though!

its got 60mm apex springs, rear 3 tints, black front diamond, white rear, dezent motions in white, carbon bullets and dash strips

Thats a very nice looking car, I do like our colour and it seems like we have similar taste. I see you have wind deflectors, are they worth getting? Also, how much did your tint cost and did you do it yourself?

 

[Barnett]

Also I was thinking of white carbon wrapping some of the interior such as dash strip, gear knob insert etc. how difficult is that to do?

 

[Joss.]

The window tints i had done professionally for 120 and the carbon is easy to work with once you get the hang of it also i sold my wind deflectors as they werent great quality as im after team heko ones feel free to pm me if you have any more questions!

UPDATE: Finally had a bit of spare cash so bought some bits. RS Grille now bought and fitted thanks to a bargain off Carbonraider, thanks a lot for that. Also got a set of FK automotive LED taillights.

However, I managed to get the indicator bulb stuck in the reversing light holder. If anyone knows how to get it out that would be much appreciated

Probably won't be updating for a while due to being a student and therefore skint. However I shall be getting the type R aerial soon. Next on the expensive list is a set of lowering springs.
