My First Clio!

I'm 17 and I've had my first car for around 6 months now, starting to do some modifications to it.
This is the car as I bought it. Its a Mk2 Ph2 1.2 16v Dynamique +

Xenon's
Wolfrace 17" ProSprint
De-wiped
New sony head unit
Upgraded all 4 door speakers

Here is my car now..

The next job i'm thinking of doing it colour coding the bullets and the diamonds (not too sure on the colour though yet). Any comments, ideas would be great
p.s I need to get some decent pics up

 

[Bodge!]

Carbon fibre wrapping is always a good look.

 

[Dweeb]

slam it!

 

[Philip.]

Those wheels look massive.
Car looks ok though, get a nice drop on it too.

 

[Joe#]

thanks for the replies, carbon vinyl would look good on it mirrors.
It needs lowering definitely, too high at the moment, 35-40mm?

17's are just tooooooo big on Clios.

16s, lowerage and done IMO

Yh they are, I might just go back to the standard ones and refurb and spray them white

agree with the wheel comments mate, look far too big! black team dynamics 1.2s would suit it well i think but they have been over done abit IMO

lower it atleast 60mm, rokkor coilovers would be a decent investment though for very little money

Thanks for the advice I'll have a look at some. eBay best place for rokkor coilovers?

 

[gunner3011]

Cheers for the heads up lol

I'm thinking of spraying my bullets and diamonds, what colours do you think. for the bullets i was thinking a yellow background, with black 16v letters. and then a yellow diamond. i could then keep going with the yellow theme and do the callipers??
any suggestions are appreciated, thanks

 

[Scrooge]

Lime Green!!!

 

[Joe#]

Lime Green!!!

with black writing, that would look quite good actually

 

[Joe#]

took some pictures of the car today as it was nice and sunny, shame the car wasn't clean though

Yh side repeaters are the next job, then the calipers and finally springs/coilovers. To be honest I was going to do the bullets and diamond black, but that song changed my mind

 

[Joe#]

needs tyre shine!

It will be done next weekend when it's cleaned again

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

[Silent_Scone]

[Joe#]

Why is that sitting so high !?

Most of the photos are from down low, this probably contributes.


It doesn't look like a 1*2.
