Well I guess my daily deserves a thread too low+slow content

[Kris Dark]

So I'm currently playing around with my 197 as a few if you will know, going the more track orientated route now,

so I got my self a big power Clio for daily use 1.5 dci 65bhp monster!

started life as standard ph2 dci in white, but has slightly changed since then
now has a full ph1 172 front end (bonnet,wings,bumper and lights etc) as you can imagine looks rather nice in white too if I may say so myself.

At the rear of the car it has a 182 rear end (bumper and exhaust and cup spoiler)

interior is full sport half leather/alcantara

but my favourite part is the wheels, I opted for something a bit different from the norm and have fitted some 7.5x16 Schmidt Modern lines with a tiny bit of stretch , accompanied with coil overs and a nice drops I'm happy with the car all round!

car isn't 100% yet and does need some panel tweaking but isn't far off! And with 600 mile to £50 I love it!

i call her my Phase1.5Dci+

Pictures gayboy :rasp:

 

[Feates172]

[Spinksy]

i wanna see this mate, sounds like it could look brilliant!

 

[Kris Dark]

Need some better ones

 

[BenMc]

It's crazy power when te boost kicks in on that thing I bet!!!

 

[BenMc]

Just realised its my profile pic on here back in te old days don't know if you can see it though kris x

 

[Spinksy]

wow!! that looks awesome mate!

really like that!!!

maybe just black the rear lights? and it would be perfect!

 

[Kris Dark]

 

[Nafoff]

the DCi's are the future, so so cheap,
looks like a really nice example, not exactly cheap motoring when you are going to those extremes on it, but fair play

 

[Kris Dark]

Cheers buddy! Aw if you mean to match front , that was before I had lights in haha just looks like a have black fronts

 

[ekaJ]

Seen this on Instagram, looks great!

 

[Kris Dark]

Cheers matey , well hasn't cost as much as you may think as most bits me and Craig had lying around and my friend is a painter so wasn't too expensive ! Only really the wheels tbh

 

[Kris Dark]

And yeah Ben I see it haha! Changed a bit now like! Looked cool on black wheels like!

 

[Nafoff]

Cheers matey , well hasn't cost as much as you may think as most bits me and Craig had lying around and my friend is a painter so wasn't too expensive ! Only really the wheels tbh

ah fair enough, thats pretty handy when it works out like that,
similar case with mine, needed to update a few issues on my DCi 80 and a friend had ph1 172 lying around so we switched the whole drivetrain, brakes, driveshafts, widetrack, suspension etc etc etc, its alot handier as parts are more easy to come by and cheaper as can find everything on here....
I suggest you do the same with the front end just to space out those front wheels some more....

 

[Kris Dark]

Haha ideal!, yeah that's the plan we have all parts to do it and I'm also going to run a 172 rear axle with discs etc as we have a spare few of them too !

 

[Spinksy]

Cheers buddy! Aw if you mean to match front , that was before I had lights in haha just looks like a have black fronts

so it is.... lol

but definitely the front and rear lights would look awesome black mate,

but that looks amazing mate, love the white with black details

 

[Chip-mk1]

White ph1 172 should SO have been made!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ps I was going to comment on the hideous black front lights, but then saw the other replies, LOL

 

[Kris Dark]

Haha! Was actually thinking a Megane 175dci lump really keep with the diesel theme !

 

[Kris Dark]

I'll get some proper pics up soon too

 

[WILLYx]

[LJColeman]

This makes me want schmidts on my slammed 5 door.. hmm! are they 8J all round? whats the offset on them?

 

[Kris Dark]

No they're 7.5s et 25 I think as far as I can remember buddy

 

[not normal dan]

What an awesome daily, looks great

 

[danward]

You've made this look fantastic I really like schmidts and the way it sits.

 

[LJColeman]

No they're 7.5s et 25 I think as far as I can remember buddy

Thanks bro, ill have to look into it !

 

[ry197]

Immense Ph1 dual optic headlights fitted to a ph2, love it!!

 

[DanEdser]

such a nice daily!

it on coilovers?

although, something doesn't look like it fits right on the front end...

Look where the wing meets the bonnet :S

Is it something to do with the ph2/1 swap?

still looks epic though! should have definately made ph1's in white!

 

[dmallett]

White ph1 172 should SO have been made!

This.


Looks a nice little run around! Some form of splitter up front would finish it off i think

Yeah the inner wings need slightly modifying slightly , just a little tweak as I'd originally said, just wanting for a ran free day to do it! It just needs the lip trimming off in order for wings to sit lower at front thus completing the front end, also proves a face-drop can be done where many people said its impossible , once wings are say right headlights will also line up correctly !
And yeah it's on coilovers too

Thanks

Lol yeah it's mad spending £40/50 a month as apposed to every few days!

oh right! I thought it was a straight swap aha, looks good though, the aerial at the front bugs me on mine, as its a fishing rod!

 

[t90_lle]

[leeroybrown]
