I actually like the front of that, but the rear needs changing

 

[Barron]

Get rid of the body kit. Wheels are alright though.

 

[Dave..]

hmmmm yeah, i see what you mean about the back
k-tec shows it better

only thing with taking the body kit off, is that i have to sort out the exhaust then aswell

 

[Maxx]

Doesnt look too bad not sure on the wheels tho. Everyone is going to slate you for the bodykit tho on the 182 tho being Cliosport but don't worry about it its not like its some jap Carzone s*** kit lol

 

[Hazza]

The body kit looks very professionally done, hence why it looks better than others.

It loosk better in inferno than in silver i have to say.

 

[B16DOE]

not my cup of tea

As said front looks ok rear isnt that great

Whats happening with it ??

 

[dutty_112]

for some reason i do like that! maybe its the wheels that set it off..

haha, got those pics up eventually, after much getting it wrong lol

well, ive already had everyone faint when i told them how much ive spent on it

bought it from a salvage yard as a cat c write off for 3,750. the pic from the front shows all the damage, if you look closely you can see a crack on the wing, and it looked like a bargain to buy. when i got it to the garage to get fixed up, the problem was a lot deeper, the subframes been bent and the suspension and steering needs attention etc... so im paying nearly 4,000 to get it repaired.

 

[DrR]

Looks done well, but not my cup of tea.

 

[FlameR]

i like it. what happened to the bonnet?

 

[Dave..]

i like it. what happened to the bonnet?

erm, nothing i dont think, theres a small dent if thats what you can see, like somethings pushed it in

[leighk18]

[Shotgunsjay]

back to standard ftw

 

[Dave..]

looks pretty nice tho tbh

haha, i didnt think it was bad to sort out...
but i have the list of whats wrong:

sub frames bent
wishbone
driveshaft
steering rack
suspension leg
lambda sensor
air con condensor
raiators bent
batterys faulty
4 new brake discs
bearings

...nightmare

 

[Reyes]

Sod that lol. Id leave it well alone tbh.

 

[polarbert]

How was the damage caused?

 

[fmp_]

amazing how things that dont look to bad from the outside turn into alot of work.

But back to the car, like most have said, front looks good, as do sides. The rear isnt doing alot for me. Tho i think if you removed the rear skirt it would look silly!

 

[Dave..]

spot on, my thoughts exactly. the exhaust would be left suspended in mid air without the rear vallance. not sure how the last guy fitted the exhaust though, cus on k-tec its down as a milltek exhaust, for the megane. and the induction kit in it is for a V6 :S

 

[Dave..]

How was the damage caused?

dunno mate, theres no evidence of it hitting another car, cus theres no other paintwork on it.

what i think has happened, is that the last owner, has maybe lost control, understeared into a small wall or something, knocking the front wheel and scraping the arch, puzzling thing is how theres no damage to the wheel

 

[Mikey]

ditch the kit mate, and maybe some different wheels other than that, tidy

 

[Djw Dave]

I kind of like it, one of the better kits out there.

Me too.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Thats some list of problems, hope u've got deep pockets. Not a fan of the kit either tbh.

 

[Dave..]

yep, hopefully it'll be finished early next month. the guys taken time out from repairing 2 porches and a noble m12, and managed to look at my bright orange clio lol.

just got to decide what im doing with it now, id quite like to drive it:dapprove:

 

[Faxo]

That could be fixed for next to nothing if you were mechanically minded

Subframes are easy to fit, just get a 1.* one and drill the extra hole needed, instead of paying £££s for a 1*2 one. Alot of the rest of it can be fitted while the subframes down, using 2nd hand parts. As long as theres no chassis damage, you looking at about 4 hours work for the mechanical side of it!
