Odyssey blue 172 Phase 1

[idefix23]

Hey guys,

just wanted to show my little Clio.
I'm living in Germany near Stuttgart and driving this car for about 6 years now.

When i first got it, exchanged for the red RSI (kinda miss it :dapprove on the left.

Back in 2007

Summer 2012
I obvously got a new camera

This month 2012

Still trying to keep it as mint as possible.

After searching for about 3 years, got some original OZ F1 16' this weekend, cant wait to get them painted silver and put them on in 2013

Thats it.
Let me hear what you think.

Some details

Wipers refurbed

replaced with an OEM item

Fits nicely

Hated the shady/worn look of the screws, so painted them =)
Looks like new.

 

[Stu.]

Looks tidy!! Where did you find the 16" f1's!?

 

[Coops Mk1]

how did you refurb the wipers? just rub back and satin black paint?

Was searching those for ages.
I finally found them on a german clio rs forum last week.
Got them 2 days later on saturday as i couldnt wait and risk that somebody else is getting them.
My advice...dont give up :dead:

how did you refurb the wipers? just rub back and satin black paint?

As long as you are able to get these freaking wipers off its a pretty easy job.
Sanded them down to the metal, putted some primer on it and painted them black matte.
I painted about 4 coats. Just make sure you let it dry for about a day.
Satin black would also do the job.... i just had black matte laying around the shelf.

Hi guys,

a couple of things need to find their way into the car now, will start to put these parts in this weekend

Coilovers, rear-wiper motor, exhaust mounts, short-shifter, rear-brakes, new style top-mounts, new-style tdc-sensor and some hubcentric 20mm spacers for the rear

Still not sure about the shortshifter though, bought this about a year ago and still havent fit it.
I heard bad things about taking off the gearknob....so i'm still not sure if this will be fitted this weekend :/
Are there any advices of you guys?

Also my 16' OZ F1 are getting silver powder coated at the moment....feeling like a 5 year old waiting for christmas xD
Heres a last pic of one of it in black

Hi what did you use to get the paint work looking so good ?

 

[Sam]

Looks immense!

 

[Mar172]

Makes my paint work bad

 

[Stu.]

Looks awesome that!

p.s give me your 16" F1's :rasp:

 

[idefix23]

Hi what did you use to get the paint work looking so good ?

nothing special really....
I just took care of it the last 7 years

p.s give me your 16" F1's :rasp:

Oh god, i'm so excited to put them on, i will never give them away

 

[Mar172]

With the coilovers and the 20 mm spacers on the back I'm sure it will rub on the arch ?

 

[idefix23]

Yeah it will, definately.
I will change them it to 15mm rear and 20mm front with the 16' on.

 

[idefix23]

Update
Now with original 16' OZ F1....
....I like it! =)

 

[Stu.]

[MichaelGrimes]

[jesus]

Very nice - looks good on the 16" F1s.

 

[Paul172sport]

I've gotta find a set of 16s!

 

[idefix23]

Oh dear! Good luck!
My guess...it won't happen
I mean....if you really...really want them you'll get them soon or later.
Thats at least the experience i made...

 

[Craig.]

This looks lovely, the 16s are a great addition :approve:
