The BumbleBee to be

Car  Fabia VRS Special Ed
Owned my clio since 18/04, recently passed my test and decided to do a couple of subtle mods, I've not got much money available to spend on the car but should do soon so it will improve :)

Fitted my RS grille today with the help of Steve_182....

Sh*tty Dynamique grille :dead:

Re: First pics of car

Rule 1, never use flash on a wheel shot. It makes even the cleanest arch look terrible.

Nice car.
 
Re: First pics of car

i now know were abouts you live, 2mins from my gf's i hate it round yours tho only because of the bumps :( car looks good but get it lowered and clear side repeaters
 
Re: First pics of car

looks nice, the next thing i would do is lower it a bit.

Would love to do that but my insurance allows free cosmetic mods but I have to pay more for performence :|

Re: First pics of car

well if you get sprigs get 60mm cos if you like lower cars 40 or 45 wont cut the mustard
 
Re: First pics of car

Looks very nice m8, any future plans, lowering and colour coding wud really look good imo:), rs grill big improvement
 
Re: First pics of car

I once argued that my 40mm springs brought the car down a mere 10mm when I added my 17s, insurance company agreed, no charge! woohoo (that was 7 year ago though)
 
Re: First pics of car

Cheers for the comments, seems it deffo needs lowering lol!

Will look into it :)
 
Re: First pics of car

You got front spacers? Those wheels seem to stick out loads! RS grille though, well done with that. Makes the world of difference :)

Re: First pics of car

Looks nice fella. Quite liking those wheels, but as others have said, get it lowered and some clear side repeaters and it'll look even better.
 
Re: First pics of car

Nice car, definitely go for lowering next and some clear side repeaters :)

EDIT: ^ Lol pipped to the post!
 
Re: First pics of car

What would be best for him, just lowering springs or a kit like coilovers etc?
 
Re: First pics of car

Few little updates...

I decided that I was going to adopt a black & yellow theme to use on the car, I really like the way the colours go together so all future updates will be based around this.

Once again...All comments appreciated :)

very nice mate, whats the next stage then?

Today I repainted my rear drums black and sprayed my renault badges and the clio badge yellow, I didn't initially intend to do the clio one but I quickly realised that it would look very odd if I left it lol.

Just waiting for those to dry atm, I imagine they'll be back on the car tomorrow, I'll get pics :)
