Right, so I want some opinions...

We've had our black '53 plate 172 for a week now, and I love it. But I'm already thinking about mods... (Isn't that always the way?)
I'm thinking about going for a bit of a sleeper look, so I've removed the Renault Sport badges from the back, so it looks like a standard clio from the rear (unless you're an idiot like me who can spot a clio sport back bumper from 50 paces...). It has red callipers all round at the moment, which I fancy re-doing in black, and I'm thinking that a K-Tec carbon front splitter is hardly in your face, so it'd be rude not to. Other than that, I'm a bit lost about were to go with it. Really fancy some 17" silver Turini's with a 40mm drop, but that's going to have to wait a fair bit longer. Should I concentrate on power and handling instead? It's already got what looks like a K-Tec stealth stainless on...

turini's turini's turini's.

something different than turini's if you're going for the sleeper look, anyone who knows anything about modding clios knows that turini's seem to be the "must have" trend in wheels.

personally i'd de-badge, drop it, and focus on power more than anything.

Show me another wheel that suits the car better!!!!!

Although the Innovit "Tarmac" wheels look fairly sweet. Guess they're a fair bit heavier though, and dunno if the do 'em in the right fitment.

Could get the standard ones powdercoated in like a graphite colour...

I have white Innovit's on mine, looks fresh as f**k IMO.

What colour is your car? Ph1 or Ph2?

 

[cg172]

It's a black 172FF phase 2. I think the design of the car is really tempramental to alloys... Which Innovits you got like?

ST VI's, 17 inch

Awesome. My mates got the same ones on his Celica. They're a bit of a b***h to keep clean from what I hear though. But then he is a detailing geek...
