Well it started creeping everywhere but I managed to stop myself at the splitter and part of the wheels.. Was risking too much see :P
Few mixed responses from my friends but the main response was when it's sitting on its arse over the new rims it'll look tidy so that's the priority ATM
Wish I...
Not yet, work ment I haven't had a real chance to make any headway with her so I haven't thought to take pictures.
Hopefully sort out the suspension and get some pics up later though :D
I've spent thousands on mine and it isn't even on the road, lots of things were stupid mistakes ( bonnet flipped up damaging bonnet roof wipers and windscreen last year :/ )
But I don't bother to count it, people spend thousands on TV's or holidays, since last september I've spent almost every...
Ahhhh maccies car park... Ours is ruled by a twotone (orange an black) Audi A4, with a seriously dodgy looking driver :P
I'm glad to report there are at least 3 sports about pulling it back for team Clio! a 172 and two 182's untouched and all driven by middle aged women :P
Yep that was them, keen eye to see them in an iPhone pic :P
Sad to say that's the standard of modified clio in my area.. Another one is a red 8v on 16" alloys, poor car looks like a baby monster truck!
He's one of the reasons I wanna get mine on the road, passing him twice everyday on my way to...
As I see it screw on chrome effect exhaust tip, stock suspension dodgy rims and side skirts & plastic bags covering what I assume are ridiculously overpriced bucket seats for a clio:
PLEASE tell me I'm doing a better job than this!
(if I'm not I'd prefer not to know :P )
Just cleaned all my door and boot rubbers and put them back in... Decided this horrible task should be noobie modifiers initiation test, mixing them up makes it even more fun :/
Bummer :/
Got a family friend who owns a 800bhp gunmetal grey skyline as a show car... He's always keen to point out that my stickers will fade over time... Think he's missing the point :P
Oh and has anyone thought of covering a bombed splitter with clear epoxy resin?
It would still scuff but a careful build up of layers would stop stickers tearing...
Spanner in the works :P
Ok after a day of head scratching I've decided to leave it pink for now as I have a lot still to do and well see how it fairs with the masses...
Got a mammoth job tonight, tidying the crap that's accumulated inside the car before stripping it all out properly for a tart up :)
Nice to see some positive comments, must say its put a smile on my face that my work hasn't been totally in vain :P
Haha the pink definetly isn't getting any love though.. Anyone know of clios with pink(or other coloured)/stickerbomed splitters to give me a comparison because like I said I am...
Haha well well have a vote when it's done :P
Tbh one of the reasons I painted the splitter pink was to cause a stir... I find cars tend to look the same alot of the time an attempt to look different :P
Haha I thought stickerbombing the splitter would have gained more haters even though the thought had crossed my mind :/
And yeh got the seats fitted just gotta colour code everything to match the seats when I get around to retrimming them in the black...
Ha managed to brush polish one wheel so far it's taking a while to get the original paint off as my shot blasters broke :/ literally had a mental breakdown yesterday and nearly just sprayed them to save the arse :P
other than that there going well, hopefully get some rubber on them soon too...
I sadly it's only a universal one.. Focusing on getting collies this month then a new exhaust system should be soon to follow..
As for taping it up 'twas a late night blonde moment :P
Got to polishing today cos I've pulled a muscle I my back do not up to much else :/
Starting to shape up:
Damn who's a shiny biatch :P
Me on the other hand:
Also started to paint my dull faded wing mirrors... Gloss black took away the bright white so I settled with satin black which I must...
I think a lot of people need to chill, there's a lot of anger on this forum :P
You have to take into account the drivers view of the car, I hate stretch tyres and bonnet bras but I don't burn with rate when I see it or go to great lengths to deface them.. To embrace any part of owning a car is...
Needs boring out by 3 mil, giving them to a steel bloke down the road to sort them out
As for stretch I'm still undecided as tbh I'm not a fan :/ priority at the moment is coilovers and I'll go from there..
