Well The Racing Blue's 3 Today! Lots of Piccies

[makavelli]

Just realized that the racing blue turned 3 today which means that the warranty has run out and i can finally start modding her :clown:

lol ive never been a warranty wh*re so i started modding her from day one :approve:

heres a few pics 2 celebrate :star:

The day i picked her up:

you can just see my old dynamique next to the new beast lol

the car went through so many changes over the next 18months including some rather unplanned changes

my ghetto fixed broken splitter:

a fight with a rather large badger:

Do you get any wheel rubbin or have you done any mods to to arches?

 

[daveyeuro]

Thats gorgeous!

I never thought i would be tempted to buy a Clio but after looking at this and Christophers Clio im beginning to want one over the RS Focus and Leon Cupra R.

I cant let it happen though - i want a turbo!

 

[makavelli]

Tastefully done.

A bit to low for me though. What coilovers have you got?

on gaz matey, had them on for nearly 2 years now without any probs and i got them for a good price i know a lot of people dont rate them but these hav done an awesome job for me

ive actually raised it quite a bit compared to last year so its more drivable

Defo looks the biz

Do you get any wheel rubbin or have you done any mods to to arches?
