T0m0 - Racing Blue 182 Project. (pic heavy)

[T0M0]

Well it been bang on 6 months since i picked her up from MCR Specialists Cars in Bristol, Yate. Five and a half hours on the train it was to get there and £65 in ticket fares but it was well worth it when i got there!

The spec when i got her was;
*The usual Clio Sport spec.
*54 Plate
*1 Cup pack (Anth. Wheels & Suspension)
*Factory Fitted Sat-Nav (very rare)
*In Car Bluetooth Parrot
*Racing Blue W/O Sripes
*Full Milltek Cat-back System
*26124 Mileage.

Pics When i got her!

When got this home showed all the family the car proud as punch. (you all know the feeling). I can remember what i said to the missus back then that i was not going to modify this car well soon got the bug and i was off.

At first i bought a brand new RS Front Grille (top) and sold the bad RB one. Then i got my Window tinted by a good friend of my who works in the Graffix business making road signs and stuff, he also tints the windows in office blocks so got him to do the RB smoked tint all round not the cheap sh*te from halfords.

Then was exactly 5 Year old so took her to Birchdown so get the Aux & Cambelt changed also on that visit i bought some Eibach Prolines Springs so steve fitted them for me! Was going to go for the sportlines but the roads round here are awful so didn't wana lower it too much!
The ride height

Bought myself a cup towing eye from Si waited very patiently for this also got my side repeaters smoked can't remember who did them but was great job only £15 pound that was for the bulb and the plastic case then sold my originals to a lad wanting to go back to standard so got £15 for them happy days.
Then Got Nathj to colour code my Dash strips and gear knob insert.

After that the missus bought me a ITG Maxogen for my birthday also a Cup Splitter so me and her brother Richard (Gib244#) fitted them not so long ago & Fitted various stickers here and there didnt wana go mad but think i have although stickers are like marmite so...... ENJOY!!!

Cleaned & Detailed today from 10.00am until 4.30pm.
Using Megs & AutoGlym products.

Future Plans -

*Cup Spoiler although not desperate just waiting for the right price
*RenaultSport Sabelt Steering Wheel (desperate)
*Recaro Trendlines (am just dreaming now) lol
*Wheels Refurbed in Gloss Black like pritchard182.
*Full Respray sometime just as im a fussy little get with tiny stone chips and stuff!
*Cross drilled and grooved discs with mintex pads all round and braided lines.

Thank you for reading!!!
