2008 has seen some changes *pics*



Bit of ASW - but thought it would be nice to have a record of all the changes from start to finish. Wont include much writing, just pictures :D

First purchased March 2008 - car was on 53k after doing 17k in one year, got it for a bit of a steal :)

Before i took any pictures i had changed the side badges and fitted a smaller front plate

Then went and attacked castle combe 10 days after purchase which highlighted terrible tyres :|

Had a few quiet months while i sorted my finances and did a few little things like colour coding the side badges, replaced a few engine mounts etc

Gave the car a full and well deserved detail before the bigger modifications began, although i didnt really grumble at how it currently looked

Then changed my headlights to black xenons from a 172 as i hated the grey faded look of the 182 ones and chopped the H&Rs in for some AST's and changed my badges to carbon which really left it looking as it does now below

Not changed any engine parts other than the air filter.

On track its very competent and out performs alot of higher market cars

Great car.. perfection

Looks lovely, only thing I would do is colour code the rear badges to match the front, would be perfect then.

Thats a nice selection of cars on the driveway too!!

Looks mint as it is now. :D Turini's are a safe bet I think,always look good on Clio's.

I fitted the H&R's last saturday in the pi**ing rain, took me like 5 hours. But i was off to Bristol saturday night for a week. So as soon as i fitted them my mate came round to pick me up so i only got to drive it 200 feet and then i had to go get ready.
I took loads of pictures before and after and i did a step by step guide, so when i get home i'l do a thread.
I bet my old man has been out for a drive in it, cheeky s*d.
