Post You're BEfore and After Pics

[fast5]

i'm not being b**ch or trying to start a fight... but everyone with replicas...

dont you get frustrated that the performance doesn't match peoples expectations? surely if say a saxo saw ya, thought you were a 172 and wiped the floor then the next day saxo sports club would be all laughing in their posts.

also, i know insurance costs are high, but to take, say a 1.2 to 172 spec, even without the engine its surely about the same as buying a said car.

once again, not being bitchy at all.. just wandering das ist all

much love x

running cost, fuel bills and insurance is the killer for me mate.

i went for my car for looks, not go. sadly, i would never buy a clio again. i hate my car except when i clean it and photo it. it creaks, it rattles, it moans. so 2.0l is probs gonna do the same.

was only designed to be a first car, then get rid once im happy to do so and get summat german lol

Good thread great to see how different the cars are and how much effert has gone into them.

 

[Marky_]

Before:

Currently:

Plenty of stuff still in the pipeline which may never get done

 

[Phoenix]

have you noticed how some of the best cars in this club are just replicers of there's successors?

 

[Marky_]

Probably because we are all sheep and can't think of any fresh ideas

Tbf, a few of my favourites aren't really replicas, they just use some standard renault bits. f0xy's, dutty's and matta_88's to name but 3.
