Sleepy's Pearl Black Clio - Project Benga



Nice car mate, it's gonna look good once you get everything on and sorted. Brilliant progress!

Will the induction kit affect your insurance ?
thanks! definately!! and yes because it's not standard, but tbh I don't think it's worth declaring. Just deciding wether to declare.. they apparently add approx £20 on you're insurance or something, if so i mays well!

Yeah true, well if it is only going to add £20 I think it would be worth declaring :) ...where did you get your kit from?

He likes dubstep iirc.

And just letting you know sleepy. I managed to change springs today with a mate. Wasn't too difficult. Sitting nicer now. Will get pics up later hopefully.
 
Ahhhhh, youve got me tempted ;) haha no its still 70 quid :(
Just one more question, why Is the car called benga ;)?

It's worth it imo! yeah that's a bummer:( Try other induction kits mate, have a little read up on different ones! :)
Well, I like my Drum and Bass and my Dubstep, and there is an artist called Benga! (On Radio 1 Friday nights with Skream ;) ) and he was my favourite artist at the time, so I named it Benga haha! But I don't like dubstep as much as I used too, changed way too much! Kinda wanna change the name anyways you knoow, have been thinking about it for the past few weeks haha! something will come along!

Indeed! and ah excellent! Nah mine wasn't either, but my original springs were so hard to take off, we think the shocks/springs haven't been touched since my clio came out of the renault factory until now ahha!! Bolts were so tight, my brother had to stand on the socket thingy (hard to explain) in order to undo the bolts near the disc!, forgot the name haha! and good good buddy, yeah yeah lemme know when you upload them!!
 
Goooood afternoon! Got tyres for my alloys today!! (second hand, tons of tread!) Toyo Proxie R31, Continental ... and two budgets i think they were, but anyways, for £90 i got the tyres, plus a free fitting and balancing!! Sorted. So wacked them on Benga today, and i'm chuffed! Looks awesome, just need the colour coding and spacers and I should just about be done!
Getting new plates later, and just thinking about deflectors, what ya think?

Excuse the sun glare! annoying!

Looks really good that does mate. I wish I done all the same with my 1.2 when I had that. I only put a grill on and 172 alloys. That was it. :(

Anyway. Managed to get a quick picture of mine after fitting the sportlines.

Before.

I'm impressed with it. It's a fairly cheap and effective mod really. :)

Get that colour coding done!!!!

Feels great. Went for a little blast earlier and it's so much better to drive.

What have you done to your car regarding your music etc? Have you got a sub and new head unit etc
 
Project delay! Wont be seeing much for a week or 2 as my brother is borrowing benga, as his £150 1995 M reg ford escort's brakes are f***ed! Pads are down to metal (Will get a thread on the go in a different topic!) and his disc is ridged like you've never seen before. I've told him the rules of my car, let's hope it comes back in the same state as when I handed over the keys! :coffee:

You've inspired me to have black wheels. As of tomorrow that's my little project lol. The recent pics look great
 
Looking really good now mate! :) love the splitter and the spacers make a big difference too :) My 16mm ones should be delivered in a few hours :3

P.S. I used to have those dustcaps on my bike lol :p

Good evening to you all! well.. it's been a couple days and got some news, nothing interesting but yeah, mays well add it to the thread! Sold my Monaco rear bumper and got a black one for a good deal, coming this thursday! Reason I bought a black one instead of getting my existing one sprayed was to save the father some money when it goes in for a colour code!Colour coding next month by the look of things, bad finacial times!:( and recieved 20mm spacers today so they'll be going on the front and then the hubsentrics on the back! (Pictures this weekend when it's lookin sweeet! ) And also, applied for my provisional license lol ;) First lesson is next month on ma birthday aswell! So yeah, it's all good!:rasp:
