WorldSeries Clio Most recent..

[Crippin]

Since being on here, I've put various photo's of my car. Didn't at the time think about doing a progress thread.
These photo's where taking recently and I'm in two minds whether to sell up and get a 1.8T Polo gti MK7 or just keep it and spend the money that I would pay on insurance on coilovers, remap etc.

Me and a few mates found a tunnel covered in graffiti, so thought it would be a good idea to take a few pictures then.

Plans if I keep will be Coilovers, remap, maybe a set of new alloys, thinking about a different exhaust, also maybe a cup spoiler. Idea's are welcome
I'm a newbie to photography but I figured learning to use a camera properly now, will help me all round with the career I'm hoping for and just random snap shots of scenery etc. Hope you like.

 

[Crippin]

I can see this going un-noticed lol.

 

[Christopher]

Looks great. Not a fan of the LED sidelights though, they look pikey IMO.

 

[Matt W]

Very nice! Not a fan of the blue sidelights though.

 

[Naith]

blue lights are crap, rest of the car looks fantastic.

 

[Crippin]

I did think that when I was buying them. It was a toss up between them or white. I'll go and get some white lol. Standard where a yellowy colour. Wasn't very nice.

 

[Nickson]

Looks very cool, but as others have said.

The LED sidelights are a nono from me!

 

[Harpham]

LOL at "Poo Bum" on the wall.

Nice pics dude. Please tell me where that location is. I need to take my car there if it's local to us

 

[Crippin]

Just literally PM'd you lol.
It's near Eastmid's airport.
I'm still on the lookout for a better Graffiti tunnel or wall.

 

[DanSX]

looks good man, needs white led sidelights tho not a fan of the blue, plus you ever thought about colour coding the black plastics at the front either side of the number plate?

 

[Crippin]

To be honest, that's never run through my mind.
I can imagine it to make the car look better as well.
I'll look into it.. cheers.

 

[DanSX]

yeh would look better my dads got a GT model in same shape and they come with them already gloss black looks alot smarter

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Just get coilovers then enjoy it for a while buid up more no claims then buy something quicker ie the polo gti you were thinking of

 

[Addicted]

looks good, get some real white sidelights and it'll look better than the blue even if it was a slight tint blue it'd be much better!

 

[daveski]

Where? I live near East Mids

 

[Crippin]

Yano the massive roundabout where you can go off down M1 and all that jazz? - course you do, you live near there..
Well on that roundabout there's a exit which looks asif it's just a dead end. Take that exit, and you'll come to a gate, Quite a tight fit through but once your through, just follow the path down for about 50-100yards until you see the tunnel. It's a public footpath, that's why we went down late at night and extra quiet.But it's all lit up anyways.. We grabbed some quick photo's and shot off.

 

[daveski]

You know what, I can't actually picture that roundabout. You mean the one with the M1 on it at Junction 24? or 23a? (23a is where the services are)

Just google mapped it and there is a gate just before the roundabout with the services, is that where you mean?

 

[Crippin]

No, I believe it's J24.

 

[daveski]

I'm confused! I drive round that roundabout every day going to and from work and can't picture anything that looks like a dead end. I'll have to go out for a drive and see if I can find it

 

[Crippin]

You'll know where it is when you see it.
I think there's a sign saying something about fly tipping..

 

[daveski]

I'll have to get Harpham to come with me. seen as he has a decent camera

 

[Knuckles]

am i the only one who likes the blue sidelights? meh...

what bhp are these putting out standard and what would a remap take it too? spacers and coilovers would be win ... awesome car none the less, love the central exhaust exit

 

[Crippin]

If we get a small few to go down we could get some awesome shots with Harphams photography skills.

Haha, I didn't think they would be that bright in all fairness, and I still don't hate them. But white will more than likely look a lot better.
The car at standard is 100bhp. The staight through exhaust after being on a dyno was 109, but at exhausts uk it was 111. The remap takes it up around 30bhp. So the car would be around 139-141bhp.
I was contemplating getting a new bumper and having a double exhaust but just either side of the car.

HAIIIII

I like how im a noob at photography, but already have a reputation on taking decent pics lol. Sort it out. Im up for going down there one time.
Dave, I can remember you saying you wanted some graffiti photos lol.
Mini meet, yeah?!!

 

[daveski]

Yeah. When though? I still need to find the place!

 

[Crippin]

I'm getting into photography. Got a lovely shot of the dog earlier today.

& I'm game for the minimeet.!

 

[Harpham]

^ Check it out on your commute, see if you can find it, then decide whether it's a night-time job

You know im a jobless, Uni w**ker, so im available quite alot, aslong as it doesnt take up too much of my work time lol. Could try one of these bank holiday weekends?

EDIT: Nice pic Cal. What camera are you using?

 

[daveski]

Sod checking it out on my commute, junction 24 is the single worst part of my journey going home and coming back, far too much traffic.

Are you coming to Skegness on Sunday? (invited you on fb, in case you cant remember) Could potentially do it after that?

It's a definite night time jobbo.
It's a fujifilm thing. It's my camera so only had the £450 to spend at the time.

 

[Knuckles]

10bhp from an exhaust... i has to get me one ha. remap ftw then. these 1.6 or 2.0?

 

[Crippin]

Neither, 1.2turbo my friend.

One night soon it is then . Lol, cant be bad for that price then... My Canon 500D cost me £500ish.

 

[HartZ]

I would definately look into getting a nice set of coilovers for that baby, would look the nuts tbh

 

[EllisC]

I really like that bud. Think coilovers and spacers are a win. Keep the centre exhaust looks different but good think that makes the back look as good as it does.

 

[Crippin]

Cheers guys. Looks like I'm buying some coilovers then. Got around 8months until I'll possibly be changing.
I'll buy them, and some spacers and post a new thread. Could some direct me in the right way on spacers please, like a website link. Also there opinions on coilovers would be appreciated.

 

[SimonR.]

Looks good mate, definately colour code the bumpers, I did my mk2 bump strips the other day and it looks so much better.

Whats with the randomly placed cliosport decal?

Cheers mate. The cliosport sticker is stuck on the end of the bonnet, 'Mk3s have baby bonnets'. It looks smart if you could tell. I'll upload a pic soon.

 

[jesus]

Car looks good! Especially from the rear
