Project De-Chav! (pic heavy)

[Struggler]

Right,
have a few days off work,
so ive decieded after going to my first cliosport meet,
that i officially drive a chav mobile,

so something must be done, as times and tastes change,
ive decieded to de-chav my ph1, and so the project de-chav begins!!!

i know most people on CS arnt fans of non RS ph1s, but still, its all i need/can insure atm.

pic of the old!


so off on my crusade into my state of a garage,
these babies were pulled out of retirement until i find a nice set of dual optics


so off came the sunstrip, tints, stickers, headlights, bumper, bonnet raisers


bumper got masked and primed


Got some fogs very cheap, so they got primed too


painted, and put back together


put them in the bumper, just too see the finnished effect,
think it works well


got ride of the texture by useing high build primer, and wet sand paper,


after a couple of coats of paint


bumpers being left to dry over night,
car as it stands looks like so



hope you enjoyed the read,
any opinions are welcome
she will live again!!

[Tucker]

Are you leaving the canons on the back dude?

hahahaha

 

[GarethM]

good job

 

[Dave..]

Another one saved! I know all about de-chavving cars now, tis a pain in the arse.

 

[jesus]

Sounds promising Can I just ask what the point in the 'bonnet raisers' was?

hahah oit,
no thats coming off,
got a 172 bumper on its way, try and get a nice subtle exhaust to go with that,

as for the bonnet raisers,
for some idiotic reason, i didnt adjust the strut brace properly, so it sat up higher than the bonnet, and it didnt close properly,
bonnet raisers were a complicated solution to a simple problem really :approve:


This thread is only the front of the chav mobile,
the rear will be coming shortly,
stay tuned on

Standardize my ride

 

[Struggler]

also need to get a new splitter,
mine was ruined so it came off

 

[Guppy]

Good to see it being mod'd the rite way!!

 

[*Danny*]

good man they look good standerd i think the bonney risers look good but thats my opinion

 

[Struggler]

Good to see it being mod'd the rite way!!

[clio_greg]

[Aluco]

[Struggler]

[JON13S]

that must have doubled in value lol... good work.

 

[Naith]

[LFCJosh]

did you sand the whole bumper before primering it? or just smooth it

i didnt smooth anything,
i only primed the bump strip,
the textured black horrible bit.

i said, the bonnet raisers helped the bonnet clear the strut brace,
for some reason i didnt think to adjust the strut brace lower,

basically they were a stupid solution to a simple problem

They are fitted to some cars to keep engine bay temps down. Normally on turbocharged cars.

On that Clio?

Useless, and it even looks crap, to boot. Off!

Bin the tower brace and get the OE bonnet arms back on.

 

[Struggler]

the towerbrace??
the strutbrace isnt in the way anymore,

oe bonnet arms??
and its always used standard bonnet arms, just used raisers that have long since gone

Haha cheers Christopher. Sorry I missed the last comment clio142!

 

[scott1205]

i think them headlights looked alright

 

[kpowell911]

wait there, you painted your angel eyes to make it loo like a bad boy bonnet?

Bad Boy Bonnet FTW TBH, Makes the phase 1 look more aggressive:

My Old one looked quite good i think, (flame suit is on):

 

[Struggler]

i think it looks alright when its done properly
but painted on, just doesnt look very nice

 

[iimushroomzii]

Makes it look a bit like a corsa

 

[Greeny.]

Good work mate, nice start

In other news Crazy_Clios car looks properly done, not to my style anymore but would have been about 5 years ago.

 

[Struggler]

Update,

Project de-chav has finnished on the front of the car,
next point of attack is the rear!!!

Before!



And after!
Still looking at different splitters to put on,
and need to get a set of dual optics when the money looks abit better






^^ as you can see it needs a splitter
