What mods have people done to their car’s

[Viv172]

When I bought my Clio I had every intention of keeping it standard

BUT it all started with just the one some clear side repeaters.... then a ClioSport sticker ...then came the alloys, and now Ive just ordered some Lexus rear lights and some silvervision bulbs.....And Im starting to lust after lowering it and getting a meaty exhaust..........WILL IT EVER END!!!!!

What has every one else done to their cars?? Did you intend to mod them from the start or have you been seduced like me??

Paul, how does the car look on 17s without lowered suspension?

 

[paul172 .]

Dont no paddy i fitted the lowering springs 1st then fitted the wheels so i didnt see what it looked like, ask geordie paul he has got 17s aswell on standard springs

 

[paddymph]

ahh cool, pondering on new alloys, 16s and lowered springs or 17s on standard?

 

[paul172 .]

Go for 17s over the 16s and lower it 40mm as well, so youve got a taste for modding since fitting the Cup front spliter and clear indicators, each to their own though paddy you go for performace were i go for looks.

 

[Dash]

I too have a Cliosport sticker. I also went for the FULL MAX treatment to hide the rather dirty looking exhaust.

Lookin at all these posts, alot of peeps have their bumper trims colour coded. I spoke to some guy at renault bodyshop, he said they tried it once for some guy and it was a bit sh*tty. Wheres a decent place to have them done in the south east, and what do they do, rub em down?

Brand new Dynamique 1.4 16V btw.

VivJ, I think a lot of people buy their car with little intention of modifying it. But like you say, you start off buying something relatively cheap, then as soon as you do that, you start to find other things on the car that could be improved, next thing you know youve spent well into 4 figures!

And no, it wont end! Not until you sell the car and get another one. Then the process starts over again...

ive had all my car colour coded! it does look a hundred times better! it cost me £280 but he also took the bar out the front bumper! sprayed handles base plates for mirrors! base plate for spoiler! etc! im really impressed how hes taken off the bar in the front! you cant tell at all!

the front and back bumpers look smart but the door handles, wingmirrors and side bumper strips look a little too light! but they still look better than black!! my cars a met silver 2002 clio and he said it was a real b*****d to match the paint!
