Tom's new Stealth 172 - F1 edition

[Tom 46]

First off, I know its not an official F1 edition. The idea was to make that car look like it Could be an F1 edition, if Renault ever made one!

Had the car now for a couple of months, its my daily driver whilst my little mx5 sits in the garage over the winter.

List of mods so far:

Vmaxx coilovers
Speedline Turini's
JMS Tuning package
Matched inlets
V6 Airbox
Powerflow stealth exhaust
RS Tuner (running the overrun map)
Yellow Fogs
Cup racer tow eye
Zunsport lower grill
Carbon fibre splitter
Carbon fibre fog surrounds

Personally I think it looks quite subtle/smart but quite cool at the same time

Although im not sure what to do with the wheels. They will need a refurb in the near future, but unsure of what colour to go with. Either stay Anthracite, Black or White? Any opinions?

Well I did spend a lot of time editing the pictures on Photobucket, but they dont seem to have worked when uploaded onto here?! Shame cos it made it look better and cleaner lol

I really like that. I love black on black so that's what I'd go for. Could you use some graphics off the 426/r27? I saw the ones for the Megane on eBay that go on the doors, they're like small squares, that could look well with the f1 theme

 

[Aluco]

Looks lovely

 

[Harpham]

Looks wicked matey. Makes me want a black 1*2.

 

[Richyy182]

That is lovely

 

[joe18two]

Lovely mate can't go wrong with clean black on black, I am biased though.

 

[Rubicon_]

That looks amazing! Not keen on the tow ring or sticker on the windscreen though.

 

[Gorms]

I like that a lot!

 

[Adam G]

Once you go black

 

[montana]

I like that, subtle and mean at the same time !

 

[Ralphizzle]

To stay with the F1 theme; carbon bullets & diamonds
Yellow seatbelts

I would leave the Turini's as is concerning the color.

 

[Adam G]

I've been considering gold or white, if I get some track wheels.

 

[VIICarCare]

looks lovely, i like that

 

[Siddle]

Love it. Keep the wheels dark though.

 

[Heez]

Looks awesome that does, even the yellow calipers aren't offending me!

Keep the wheels anthra. Also get a v6/trophy spoiler, would be complete if you did!

 

[Tom 46]

Thanks for the comments would love a cup spoiler, but would have to find a cheap one as I'm trying to spend as little as possible on it!

Been looking at the F1 decals from the other models and might be tempted with the square design ones.

was all ready to paint the wheels white until I saw the GF driving it, and thought the anthra wheels look awesome! Especially when clean, they shine well

 

[jesus]

The fog surrounds look knackered and I'm not a fan of the lower grille! The rest looks alright but it's what most of CS' cars look like unfortunately

 

[Dominic172]

Looks great, sat perfectly. Hows the ride on Vmaxx coilovers? considering getting some myself

 

[James28]

Do the wheels a bright silver. Will look so fresh!

 

[Nyall]

Looks mean!

IMO, keep the wheels anthra, more subtle carbon bits (as said above - diamonds and bullets), v6/Trophy spoiler too, proper sized 3/4 plate.

Ditch the nipple ring and that weird black squiggle on your windscreen.

 

[3i_gaz]

Another Clio on turinis... Looks awesome mate love the cleanness of the car! Just paint them fog surrounds.

 

[couzens]

Looks good. Silly "players" sticker ruins it imo.

 

[peanuthead]

Looks really good, although as said get rid of the windscreen sticker. I would stick with dark wheels when you get them done.

 

[Paniro]

Love it!!!

 

[Ash.]

That's as good as perfect all it would need in my eyes is recaros and a v6 spoiler.

Anybody know who's car this was before Tom bought it? I have it now but I think it was owned by a member on here before.
