What to buy (car wise)

[kerry-w]

Well ive got some cash gathered now that id like to burn on the car.

Current mods are:

Clear side repeaters
Eibach Sportlines
PH2 rears
Coded side strips
Front fogs
Wind deflectors
Dual optic lights

Also got all of the ICE sorted too

Lost on what else to buy really, RS seats would be good but any other opinions first, not going for coilovers yet as insurance dont like that

Cars a 1.2 8v so nothing engine wise really as you cant really polish a turd.

Save it for 1*2?

Save it for 1*2?

+1

Think you've done most the reasonably priced stuff. Maybe exhaust?

 

[Weo]

Save money, no offence, make your car look as good as possible but its still a 1.2

as coming from a 1.1 Citroen C2 to a CS197 next week when i pick it up, i am so glad i saved my money and didnt mod the C2.

 

[kerry-w]

Will be a good few years before I get a faster car, insurance is a cripplier as it is anyway. Rather mod this one anyway for now, ive got a good 3 odd years to carry on saving for another car

Good shout on the exhaust though, I completely forgot about that

 

[Weo]

each to their own with insurance like. im 20 and got a 197, but C2 was group 1 so just saved like a beast whilst running that.

possible mods
tint
new wheels
lower
spacers
exhaust

Good luck

what are you paying to insure the mods? Or is it free to add them?

Insurance was £1800 for me, cheapest price I could find not going down the tint route really, would end up tacky. Car has been lowered, will be on the hunt for new wheels when I run through these tyres reasonably

Do like the idea of spacers though

£25 fee to add a mod, then plus whatever extra it would cost. No idea on different things but I cant go too wild on there.

Yeah im waiting for someone to do a guide for this :rasp: no way in hell I would be able to myself, im pants with electrics.

What insurance company you with mate?

 

[kerry-w]

What insurance company you with mate?

Aviva on some pass plus special, fully comp with beakdown, legal, windscreen and the whole lot

Went through brokerking to get the discount and pass plus special though.

 

[K1NGY]

im in the same situation but at the end of the day it is only a 1.2 and im just saving for somthing with a bigger engine. then modd that

I do have money saved on the side, just in the mood to mod the car currently

Dash flocking is an option

Hope to get a 172 next anyway, PH1 and can then swap most bits over from this to the next.

how about a cup spoiler?

how about a cup spoiler?

Hmm, their pretty expensive aint they?

Got a dynamique one on there now which ive colour coded to match.

Your insurance is a rip off... Have you had a claim?
1.1 c2 fully comp my name at age of 18 was only £800 insurance...(with avaiva) And the 197 fully comp and my name again at 20 is £2000....(admiral)

Shop round for insurance, personally would mod the1.2, but each to their own

 

[Harpham]

im sorry, but your insurance is bending you over.

The most ive ever paid for insurance was £1170, and that was on my 172.
When I was rollin' in my 1.2's, the most I paid was £900 I think (but that was with a full stainless exhaust system, slammed on coilovers, tinted windows, among other things on my old 1.2 Clio)

Dont you live in the middle of nowhere though paul?

Kinda yea
Its still got a C rating on the postcode thing for insurance though so cant be 'that' good...

You have a red Ph1 don't you? Take inspiration from clio_stu's old car:

Most of what was done to that can be done on a very tight budget and the end result was cool as feck IMO.

Don't foget Kerry already rolled once car and had an accident on a dual carriageway as well.

Ahhh, that explains that...

 

[Weo]

Ummmmm Yeah........ and on that note I'd mod a 1.2 aswell....

Kerry have you got a decent pic of your car?

Not had a claim, but had a write off previously. The prices everywhere without an accident were £2000+ 3rd party only, mines £1800 with 1 claim and fully comp.

All my mates have been getting quotes of above £2000 too so I got a pretty good deal to be honest lol

How long ago was this though? Insuance prices are stupid money now

Yep red PH1, indeed I am using that car to aim at

Don't foget Kerry already rolled once car and had an accident on a dual carriageway as well.

Yep, dual carriageway incident was never claimed on though :S or my other crash. The other woman rung me saying she wasnt taking it any further

Ummmmm Yeah........ and on that note I'd mod a 1.2 aswell....

Kerry have you got a decent pic of your car?

Ill try upload some now, camera is pretty rubbish though.

 

[kerry-w]

Ok heres some crappy pics, not got any of the front but its got dual optics and need to spray the fog surrounds red to match the car.
