De-Chav Progress Report (pic heavy)

[k-tec172]

Ok, so this is how the car looked when I bought it in April this year:

:dead:

And this is how its looking at the moment:

I've had the chav skirts, spoiler & grilles removed & replaced with standard. Lexus lights removed & replaced with standard. Full Service with cam & aux belt change. Brand new Sportline Corse Turini's with Toyo TR-1 Proxes. Fancyplates all round. New k-tec stealth exhaust system. New EBC brake discs & pads all round. Standard front badge replaced with carbon'd one. New smoothed rear wiper blank. New aerial as the old one was looking a bit tired! Headlights cleaned & machine polished. Next I've got some KTR coilovers and alloy top mounts in the lounge just waiting to go on now

Future plans: KTR carbon splitter, New Battery, Dash Trim Re-Furb.

Very happy with it so far . . . . . C & C's welcome!

Top top job there mate! Really looks smart.

Is that the an actual number plate? Or a show plate because ive never seen one like that before!

 

[airs 172]

yeah looks alot better mate and the little subtle mods go along way

 

[Jamie3184]

Definately looks a million times better mate. Will look awsome when it's lowered. What made you buy it in the first place though?

A moment of madness I guess. My friend talked me into test-driving it. I had never driven such a quick car before and just fell in love with the rapidness of it and the hum of the exhaust. And then I joined on here and realised that it actually looked like a piece of chav sh*te lol . . . well they say love is blind!

They're Guernsey plates. Its legal to have black/silver or white/yellow here . . . its down to your preference!

[rogueneo]

[Gally]

Looks fantastic mate.

I would say you need to do something with the front number plate tho, shorten the plate or something it'sruining the front end a little with all the white at either side.

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

was sick before! should of left it














Looks much better now top work

 

[J.B.]

Good to see one back to its former glory

 

[alex-avfc]

Great turnaround.

What are the engine mods on this car, guessing it used to be KTEC's demo car?

 

[Marv-C]

Looks a million times better now. What engine mods has it had?

 

[Curley]

I preferred it before..







Naat! Hats off to your Sir.

Thankyou Yeah the first one I ordered from fancyplates was shorter but when I removed my old plate there was 2 screwholes at each end and I didn't like that it wasn't filling the recess. I've the short one though and might see if I can get the front bumper recess shortened at a bodyshop for a cleaner look . . . when funds allow!

It wasn't believe it or not! The guy who bought this car brand new must of bought the whole k-tec shop! There was loads of k-tec receipts in the service wallet, there was also the letter from Renault to say when his brand new clio 172 would be getting delivered . . . so it definately never belonged to k-tec. As for engine mods all I see is an induction kit!

 

[danjf]

top job well done

 

[VeinAST]

Good job!

 

[Ash87]

thats a good save there, was looking awful before.

 

[GM_182]

What was the previous owner thinking of, personally in its purchased guise I think it looked hideous.

Brilliant transformation, top work

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice.
