Kerry's 172

[kclipston]

Hello there. I've had my clio for about 6 months now so thought it was about time to add a progress thread. Ive previously had 8 cars, 2 of which were vtr's and one a vts.
Sorry about the pictures, i broke my camera so the majority of them are phone pictures.

The day i got it. First fill-up (the only part of the car that wasn't standard is the ariel):

Then the next day when it was light, pictured with my boyfriends car:

I traded my vtr for this at a bargin price there way. It was in perfect condition, although the owners didn't bother cleaning it for me :/

The first modification i done (when i promised to keep it standard ) was the wheels, I picked up these a month later:

And then fitted them after replacing the tyres:

Then got a BMC CDA air filter. Heres a quick trial fitting
(Excuse the dirty bay):

Then came the tints:

Then got a rear wiper blank. Still needs a respray and fitting but here it is:

Almost forgot about my wee sticker, bit like marmite with certain people though but i like it:

Then i got a TRS tow eye:

Then the pressed plates from dubmeister:

So then i sprayed my front grills and fog light surrounds gloss black for a cleaner look, and fitted a fabia splitter, also carbon wrapped my front diamond, this is how it stands right now:

And carbon wrapped my wiper blank:

Also as from a few days ago i have had a k-tec supersport stealth exhaust system on it, and imo is awesome

Thats all for now :y:

Sounds like your enjoying the car. The mods aren't specifically the way i'd go with it but its your car.

Is lowering next on the list? Sportlines would go down a treat. Sharpen up the handling nicely too.

 

[HartZ]

Some nice editions you have made on the 172, agree with the lowering said above

 

[SkidMarx]

WTF is going on with that saxo??

Yes, loving the clio. I know everybodys taste is different, as soon as i got the car this is how i planned it to be so i'm very hapy with it.

Thankyou, and yes i would like the car a little lower but due to having slammed cars in the past i only want to lower it around the 30mm mark, hopefully the wheels sit nicely in the arches then.

WTF is going on with that saxo??

Ahh thats my friend Jodies saxo, its on hydrolics, a lot of people have asked that

I think it was just about to transform into a robot. Car looking good
