Take off the mirrors, wheels and eyelids and you're onto a winner

...and exhaust

 

[GarethM]

exhaust, wheels, gash light cover things, and mirrors

and it will look 100x better

basically everything you've stuck on/done to it needs taking off

i still have the original mirriors so thats not a problem, wheels ummm what would be best to replace the ones i have?? eyelids might be a problem as there glued on so it may not come off the headlights.

 

[mikey123]

take the wheels off and get a smaller exhaust, not to hard to do!

 

[clio_rs]

lol, whats wrong with the exhaust it sounds the business lol


so everyones saying go stock then?

 

[[NickW]]

^ Pretty much

 

[clio_rs]

lol i like to be different thou, haha

so what wheels, exhaust do you thinks best suited??? mirriors and eyelids can be sort today.

 

[GarethM]

standard oz f1's ftw

exhaust - ktec stealth or recessed

 

[clio_rs]

Recessed would mean id have to get my rear bumper cut wont it?? im not sure im up for cutting tbh! just looked on k-tec's website might be a couple of months for the exhaust due to money.

anyone got any oz f1 wheels???

 

[GarethM]

check the forsale threads and ebay

Exhaust isnt too bad tbh, have seen much worse.

Its just the wheels that really let it down, there are loads of nice looking wheels around, look around in the media section for some ideas.
Maybe some ph2 172 wheels?

 

[Rossy197]

eye lids + wheels are gash mate - I personally think all RS's look better pretty much standard - i like the lowered look and turinis etc... Subtle mods are nice but your Phase 1 looks a little too much "boy racer"..

sorry if you think its harsh its just MO

 

[jesus]

Doesn't look too bad actually. I prefer standard, but go with what you want!

 

[clio_rs]

Ive takin everyones opinion and have make a few changes to it, taken the eyelids off but now need new headlights and the standard mirrors are back on, just need to get hold of some wheels and then get th money together for a k-tec stealth exhaust

Pics of changes to follow.

Those wheels look so heavy! I would go back to some form of lightweigh 15" wheels... cheaper tyres too.

Some Speedlines 2118's would look nice with a 40mm drop in height, and are bloody light too!

 

[clio_rs]

its already had a 40mm drop. On apex springs. If i put 15" wheels on id have to take the front splitter of but thats a some price to pay lol

 

[cat171]

I'd de chav it, sorry.

+1 and it'll looks the dog's after. Just think the alloys etc take away its great prestige the ph1 has.

 

[Richyy182]

basically everything you've stuck on/done to it needs taking off

agree

 

[clio_rs]

I'd de chav it, sorry.

yep its being de-chavved lol, most is back to standard now just need wheels and exhaust to finish it off, thinking of doing a ph 2 rear end aswell.
