Ph1 - Back to life and new OZ F1 16" wheels

[ChrisCurr]

Some people may call me mental having just spent £2.3k on a brand new head after one of the auxilary belts went. Anyway it's back to life to fight another day.
Newly fitted with Genuine renault OZ F1's 16" shod with brand new PE2's (The 205 ones). Have been running on 17"'s the ride is so much better.
Hope you like, Comments welcome.

personally i'm not a fan of the Vee spoiler, and i'd lose the badge in the grill.

Nice otherwise

 

[Timmay]

looks mint tbh

 

[Beef-Mc]

[saltyhair81]

Looking mint

 

[FlameR]

spoiler looks a bit pants. otherwise it's nice

 

[Ben.]

car looks great

thats alot of money to spend!

 

[Jamie]

How about a RS ph2 rear bumper?

Car looks great.

Have you had modifications to the head when it was being rebuilt? Gas flowed or anything?

 

[ChrisCurr]

couple more...............

 

[Inferno]

Looks great, including the spolier. Nice car!

 

[ChrisCurr]

Cheers for the comments. The new head is standard, shame eally I missed a bit of a chance whilst it was off. The Trophy spoiler looks a lot better in real life I luv it. I prefer the standard Ph1 rear bumper on a Ph1. I'm even thinking about putting the original rear lights back on and the black side strips The older it gets the more I like it looking original.

Agreed.

Nice wheels though

 

[Fletcher]

Smart.

 

[Christopher]

Perfect! Don't use the Ph2 bumper, Ph1 looks much better... I wish I had kept mine more original.

Cheers I can remember your Ph1 being something special on here! Did it die or is it still alive somewhere?

 

[Christopher]

It's somewhere, it's had at least two owners since me though.

 

[Bluebeard]

Ph1 rear bumpers look 1000% better than a phase 2. Phase 2 just doesn't match the front! :S

I love the car though, looks lovely!

 

[DannoTheGreat]

looks smart buddy

 

[ChrisCurr]

looks smart buddy

Cheers Danno

Nice. Although i hate how shoddy the fit of the ph1 front bumper is.

Hehe, I know what you mean but it's not just the front bumper or the Ph1

 

[SammyT]

Good effort looks lovely. Mint!

Cheers

 

[Quade]

looking good chris. Very nice ph1. Shame my old cup splitter met its end by a rabbit!

 

[ChrisCurr]

Cheers, that was only the first blow....It finally met it's end by the AA man towing it.

 

[GarethM]

Lovely fella,

where did you get the 16" wheels from?

 

[Arron2]

oooo very noice

 

[Ridahz]

Mint!! Love the way it looks!

If you do want to go back to original and fancy making a deal with the door strips then feel free to PM me

 

[Darren85]

That looks mint mate, loving it! How much you lowered by?

I got a set of 17'' F1's aswell as the original 15's. I know what you mean by it feeling a lot nicer with a smaller set of wheels, Them 16's though look perfect

 

[S23]

Nice, smart sport their. And I really like the spoiler, and the F1's look spot on! Awesome stuff

 

[jordan172]

looks lovely. you do need the original ph1 rear lights on though...

spoiler looks cool

Ph2 lights suit so much more IMO :rasp:

 

[Feirny]

That looks fcuking immense.

 

[Brett]

I like it. I'd stick the ph1 black rub strips back on though. I've left mine on alone with the black door handles. The ph2 rub strips and CC door handles soften then look of the car imo.

Looks in top condition though. 2.3K is a lot for a head, if mine went i'd have just got a second hand engine.

 

[ChrisCurr]

Lovely fella,

I managed to find them on ebay, I couldn't believe it myself took me ages. Got them for £210 without tyres and they are mint!

 

[ChrisCurr]

Mint!! Love the way it looks!

Cheers, I've still got my original ones. Thanks for the offer tho'

I know what you mean by softening the look, the CC does make it look a bit more modern but as it's getting to nearly 10 years old I think I prefer the older look...........a modern classic.

Cheers dude

I've still got the standard rear lights. I'd try them again if it wasn't for the ball ache of the changing wiring.

16" FTW! Best of both worlds... (15" / 17")

The Renault spec. O.Z.'s have a 'extra lip' over the regular O.Z. F1's.
