Where should I start???

[Tarmac Terrorist]

I'm just wondering what everyones opinions are on what I should start with on my clio?

I bought it with all the mod's currently on it which include:

K&N 57i Induction Kit
K-Tec K5 cat-back stainless system
GAZ Fully adjustable coilovers - lowered 80mm front and rear
Powerflex uprated bushes
K-Tec adjustable strut brace
Valver vented front discs and calipers on the front
R5 GT Turbo rear beam with calipers and discs
BF Goodridge braided front and rear brake lines
FOX Racing Evo 6 15" alloys

But now I don't know where to start and I'm wondering what everyone elses ideas are???

Here's a couple of pics too...

I do fancy a valver bonnet, but maybe when I come to get it sprayed if I ever can afford it!!!

i assume its not gonna be a track car? if its not, i'd change the alloys, maybe to turbines, or (dare i say it) turinis, as i think they'd suit that colour of car. I'd get a carbon bonnet to replace the dented one (as they're prob cheaper than the OE ones) as i think that would look awesome on teh colour too. Other than that spec sounds mint so far

paint the garage door?

lol Not my garage door, old pics from when my cousin owned it, you may know here, could be either registered on here as Pynk or Miss Pynk. I'm not a big fan on multi-spoke alloys, plus I can't get mine off at the moment as I don't have the wheel nut key!! i'm not planning on keeping it this colour, I'm trying to decide between either a Williams blue, a rich euro red or a nice deep black.......still can't decide!

 

[Middo]

rich euro red :approve: i found a lovely jag colour i wanted mine, looked almost black in some lights. If your a euro fan get something like a set of ronals (if u can bloody find some) or some keskins. And if u want euro, def get a carbon bonnet

or you could stop throwing money at the car, it'll never be that quick.

I'm not going to make it fast with the 1.4 engine I'm going to buy a 1.8 or 2.0 16V engine to put in there in a few years time, but for now it's pretty much about making it look sweet!

car looks good as it is, the only things i'd change are the rear lights + boot strip to phase 2 stuff, and the side strips.

 

[Tarmac Terrorist]

I wanna smooth the boot off and either smooth the sides or get the strips colour matched

 

[ollie]

valver bonnet sounds like a plan

 

[GarethM]

yeah fella valver bonnet first

 

[Justin]

valver bonnet and spoiler i say!

 

[Chris_H]

buy an rsi engine for it off of me.

I'm with this guy.

 

[ppysjrh]

seriously tho, why not actually sell it and buy a valver? instead of adding a valver bonnet and engine to an RT spec car?? Then you'll have the real deal, revised suspension, interior, the whole nine yards. Insurers would probably think better of you if you had a "normal" valver rather than a 1.4 RT that you have dropped a 16v engine into and dressed up, cos they generally dislike mods like that, and hence charge you £££.

Well bieng 17 at the moment I very much doubt I can afford to insure a valver at my age, it's bad enough with it bieng 1.4 as they prefer new drivers to have 1.1's or 1.2's

Fair enough, but if you are gonna wait a few years before dropping a powerful engine into the car then you may wanna reconsider it then. Unless you feel that having invested all the time/money/effort in the car you have means you wanna keep it and upgrade the engine.
