MK2 PH2 Progress Thread

[ROB91]

Ive had my car for nearly a year now and ive been doing little mods here and there, just recently ive decided to all out and get the car lookig how i want it to, i wasnt sure which route to go down with the car but after looking at several cars on here i got my insperation,

mods so far

Induction kit
Rs front grill
172 Alloy Wheels
Colour coded side Strips
172 Rear Bumper
Painted renault badges black
10mm front spacers
7mm rear spacers
ktec half roll cage
painted interior strips and gear nob
smaller arial

Thats all i can think of for now lol

When i first got the car i decided to get a set of 40mm lowering springs.



After the 40mm lowering springs i got a Rs grill off the forum



I left the car alone for a while after that, until i saw that chewwit was selling 90mm lowering springs, i decided to get myself a set, at first i was happy with them but after time the back was far too low and the ride wasnt much good either



So i decided to buy myself a set of FK Highsport Coilovers



After i got the coilovers i decided it was time to fit my 172 rear bumper that had been sitting in the garage for a number of months



Once the rear bumper was fitted i got a text of Alex_C telling me there was a ktec show cage for sale on the forum, i quickley logged on and sent a pm, a few days later i was driving down to birkenhead to collect it, the cage has been sprayed bright yellow which i kinda like as i have a black car, not got many good pics of it yet but you can just about see it in this pic, not stripped the rear as ive got my MOT in a few days and havnt got the time to go removing the seat belts.



Well thats all ive managed to do so far

next mods to come are

Strip the rear - After the MOT
15" pro race 1.2's
A piper 3" inwardly rolled cat back - cut into the bumper
Maybe a set of xeons

Thanks for reading

[ROB91]

As some of you may know my car was destroyed by a ford KA, and the oinsurance said unless i had video evidence then it was my fault, so i was going to take it to a garage but i thought why not have a go myself and see what happens, first i went to costco and got myself a 3ton low entry race jack
